ED, the USD is stronger than the CAD. VAT and import tariffs add to the cost of the gpu's man. Thats why they aren't "699".

.... Im sorry.... you brought it on yourself hahaha

never pass up the chance to have fun at someone else expense soul.

Ya... that's the problem.

I won't quote all so here it is how prices look like in PL:
1 USD = 3.97 PLN
GTX1080 Founders Ed. is listed at about 3600 PLN ( inc. VAT which is 23% ) = ~2926 ( w/o VAT ) / 3.97 = ~$737 +VAT = ~$906 <- store price now

Newegg has the 1080s listed as Coming Soon now:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...00&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=PPSSVYJXPPLKEI

EVGA, Gigabyte, MSI, ASUS, Zotac, and PNY brands.

Though the ASUS lists a smaller max resolution than the other 5 cards.

They don't have any pricing yet, but they do have auto-notification buttons.

Soulcatcher668 · May 25, 2016

Small update for the Canadians...

NCIX has the ASUS 1080 listed for $909.99 CAD

That puts it at $686.47 US according to the RBC currency exchange right now. For once we seem to be in line. Of corse this all might change once there are actual card for sale.

Im leaving that alone... :rofl:

Ya, it may not use the whole 6GB, but it doesn't let you select Nightmare level detail unless you have a 6GB+ Card.

Didn't know that, thank you :thup:

5GB according to this review, have to try it out.

I looked at the image quality between the different settings, I could not tell the difference.

EarthDog · May 25, 2016

I could see some clear changes... particularly in the shadows...

Anyway, this is about the 1080... I have some 1070 news!! I posted this in the other thread, but its in the folding section:

Saw that last night looks pretty promising!

Soulcatcher668 · May 25, 2016

I am guessing we will see legit reviews of the 1070 tomorrow?

EarthDog · May 25, 2016

June 10th is the release date. Not sure if the NDA breaks earlier or not. We do not have one from NVIDIA so I do not know.

Soulcatcher668 · May 25, 2016

When will you be getting a non-founders card to review? :popcorn:

EarthDog · May 25, 2016

In a couple of weeks is what I heard.

Regarding pricing: When the R9's came out, along with NVidia's then-current crop, Bitcoin miners bought up a lot of cards and the pricing tilted upwards rapidly and stayed elevated for a while. Is there any current pressure anyone's aware of to drive pricing to absurd levels or has the mining craze mellowed a bit?

It isn't economical to mine with video cards at this time. There might be some pressure from folders buying new hardware because they look like folding beasts, but that is unlikely to have that much impact relative to the normal round of gamers getting better cards.

EarthDog · May 25, 2016

Folders won't pressure/impact this... no way. There isn't a monetary gain. GPU mining has been 'not worth it' for almost 2 years.

Sadly, yes.

Actually deciding weather to buy a 1080.... It's a hard pill to swallow though cost wise.
How bad will my 1090t bottleneck it? Any rough ideas?

wingman99 · May 25, 2016

$699 for a cooler that can't keep the boost or the temp under 80C during gaming in stock settings. I hope the aftermarket coolers can cool with stock fan settings, I like my PC quiet, there goes turbo boost.

Firey_chasm · May 26, 2016

bring on aftermarket designs for less money....
in the UK currently prices are £619-£650 for founders editions.

Quick conversion from the US MSRP = £475.79. Add on our 20% VAT = £570.95

So we pay a £50-£80 ($73.46-$117.53) premium on top of the US.

To compare to a 980Ti - 4months ago I could buy a 980Ti for £500. I chose to wait assuming the 1080 would be better 'value for money'. the 1080 is ~30% more cost for around 30% more power.

I definitely feel Nvidia are being a bit cheeky with their pricing. I guess this is what happens when there is no real competition at the moment.
