770 released at the same price as the 670($400) - just $100 cheaper than the 680.

I think the thing to think about is just "How aggressively priced is a certain card?" In other words, does it have a lot of room for a price drop with what is expected over the next year or so? The 970 was a great deal from Day 1 and held its value basically its entire lifecycle as a result. There just wasn't room for a price drop and there was nothing for Nvidia to replace it with til this year.

From what I'm seeing, neither the 1070 nor 1080 look to be 'aggressively priced'. The 1070 is still cheaper than the 670 or 770 was, but not by much. And both those cards could be found much cheaper a year later.

If you really want the best value, I think it'll be worth waiting this time.

It's also possible AMD bring out a smaller Vega card next year that competes with the GP104, motivating a price cut even more.

You always lose on gfx cards :p
 
Gonna be special when everyone realises the Founders Edition is just an excuse to make early adopters fork out more cash to the green team. How many years have we had the same reference Titan cooler? and people in this thread saying, but oh it has a "new" vapor chamber, sigh. This rubbish about not making the partners angry is laughable. NVIDIA are like Apple now, they can tell you the sky is green and people will believe it then open the wallets. Still looking forward to that EVGA Hybrid 1080 tho :D

What would the benefit be of waiting for third party (EVGA etc) cards to come out if a) the cost increase of the reference(!) card doesn't bother you b) you are going to water cool them and c) OC them yourself.

Is there anything I'm missing?

Cheers

Do new cards come out a lot later on Amazon than other retailers? On camelcamel the EVGA Hybrid for the 980Ti came out 4 months after release :confused:

ofc the custom cards like kingpin, lightning etc, would need few months of R&D by the AIBs, but you will be able to get basic custom cards where they just slap their cooler on the pcb much earlier.

Right. I guess I could get one of the basic EVGA cards and step up once their custom cards are out. The step-up wouldn't be useful for anything else anyway since nothing is coming for 3 months after the 1080.
