Is it safe to assume 1080s will come down in price?

I've just about scraped £500 together and looking to get a 1080 come January. Might hold off till the Ti's come out if it's safe to assume a price drop?

There's nothing to say they won't stay the same or even increase a little. Anything could happen.

We should know something about the Ti come January anyway.

I'm not expecting the 1080s to drop much, I think the Ti is going to be around £800 to sit between the 1080 and the Titan X(P).

There's quite a gap between the price of a 1080 and titan x pascal so I think it's kind of obvious that the 1080ti will sit in the middle somewhere

Exactly which is where my assumption lies. I mean the 1070 and 1080 has $200 difference on release price. So assuming the 1080Ti is atleast $200 more than 1080 but around $300 cheaper than Titan x (Pascal)

So around $849 to $900 for 1080Ti

1070 $449
1080 $649
1080Ti $849 - $900(cant see it being $699 lol only 50 quid off a1080??)
Titan x $1200

*Bold is assumption

Around $699 to $749 they would have to drop the price of the 1080 and even 1070 considerably. 1080 and 1070 haven't been out long enough to justify a price drop. That comes with competition.

So why not just get a 1080?

This is the obvious answer, IMHO. Not the 1080 purchase suggestion, but the logic itself.

If you have no desire to spend more than £650 on a GPU then all you have to do is decide how much performance increase you want... And then, just wait. If the 1080 fits the price but not the performance then the 1180 will. Maybe even the 1170 will fit the bill and you can save some cash. If the 1180 still doesn't cut it for you, the 1270/80 will be along at some point.

The high end cards have huge early adopters tax, and that sales tactic isn't exactly new.

There are rumours that there will be refresh cards of the current range though right? So 1170/1180 might be nothing more than a slight bump, making the 1080Ti stay high end for some time before Volta comes along.. Really not sure.

The 1080ti can only be defined as high end if it offers the performance increase required by the person who is considering the upgrade. If it doesn't offer that increase, then the wait continues. A sufficiently faster card at the desired price point will come along eventually.

It's gonna start high (no competition, duh) and then drop once Vega hits (assuming it competes, which it bloody better!!!)

llamadal · 10 Dec 2016 at 11:33

Makes me laugh when people say they won't buy into gsync/free sync because they don't want to be tied into one, your missing out on a genuinely fantastic addition for gaming by being petty.

It's not like you have to sign your entire life away, if you want to change later down the line you can always sell the stuff.

I think the 1080 will drop in price, the ti will be a bit more, as bru has pointed out above.

So basically you reckon $849 for the founders, (assuming you meant the founders edition seeing as all your other prices are for the founders editions)

$100 less for the RRP of the normal cards and we are getting close to pretty much agreeing.

I can't see the 1080 price coming down, as theres quite a gap between it and the TXP, the Ti will just slot inbetween id have thought.

Possibly as Nvidia can once again take the price for a ti up again.

That tactic by nvidia was to just allow AIB to charge more for their cards if the demand was there. How on earth can nVidia charge more for cards with inferior components to what AIB have on their cards? Better cooling(yea dumps heat in case but still better) and power delivery and possibly binned chips depending on which you go for.

Either way id expect AIB to be about that i mean look at the 1080 those prices were all over the place.

Isn't graphic card prices amusing with some people? Some condemn others for lapping it up and others laugh at them for thinking they'll get high end cards for £500 - £600.

Amusing that people pay so much! (he says with 2x TXP)

The only reason GPUs are so expensive now is because there's no viable competition in the marketplace.

We would still be seeing £400-500 TXP cards if AMD/ATi had been able to stay in the game. It's not inflation or increased manufacturing/research costs that have driven the prices up.

Shame on AMD for killing ATi

ATi would have been long gone if AMD didn't buy them out.

Then where are we right now for the past several years? It is practically the equivalent.

This^ or AMD is in a whole world of ****

I will "not" be buying a Ti. Stupid price coming. I'll wait until I need the performance jump. My 1080 is doing just fine.

Are you kidding me right now? Just because AMD have not had the fastest single GPU card for a couple years does not mean they have not been competing with nvidia over the years. To be quite frank AMD have usually had the best performance per dollar or pound. Not to mention AMD always support their cards much better than nVidia. Anyways its RTG now not AMD but it still stand ATi would be long gone without AMD buying them out and things for us consumers would have been a lot worse if AMD did not do so. So take off your tainted glasses because its getting very boring reading the same poo sometimes. I guess you believe Radeon drivers still suck and nVidia are miles better too right?
