GTX 980 Ti Pricing

Sorted.
Thanks.
My 980 Ti is faster than any 1070 ever built.
These are also faster than the 1080s on LN2

They could just sell and get 2 x 1070s

+1
They could, but that's more effort and people still regard 980ti as a more high end card.
90, that's better, but still not good enough to encourage a purchase imo. Knowing you'll get a new replacement if your card goes bang in two and a half years is worth much more than saving £100 or whatever.

Because that's a card representative of most 980ti's isn't it!
You very keen I have noticed on being very 'selective' with benchmarks to justify 'unusual' setups like four way Titan-X (Maxwell).
Im sure a similarly 'selective' comparison review of the 980ti kingpin against a decent 1070 would show the kingpin wanting in some scenarios where lots of vram was being utilised or where the architectural improvements in pascal were in greater demand.... And saying that under ln2 its faster than a 1080...that's really grasping at straws.
After all its a £599.99 card which is in competition with other £599.99 cards (with two years more warranty!) that will comfortably beat it unless your benching under LN2. The Kingpin was never a sensible consumer card it was for two (or maybe 3) types of people
1) extreme over clockers looking to win competitions or get the names up on the high cores tables
2) people that wanted the 'best' 980 ti at release regardless or cost [or maybe 3) - people who had too much money and no appreciation of the practicalities of what they were buying]
The average new 980ti costing more than the average 1070 means that the 980ti's represent poor value for money no ifs or buts

no what will happen is they keep them at them high prices prices do a deal with nvidia probably for rest of remaining stock to clear and then have a big sale on here at £299 or less.
the inflated prices now makes it look like a great deal people buy em
this happens a lot and a great way of clearing end of line stock.
Rip off britain + brexit tax + eol timing swindle by nvidia = Prices not being realistic at all.
I mean look at this for an example.
Currently i could buy a EVGA GeForce GTX 980Ti Classified
American price £357
Uk Vat price £428
Current lowest price you can get it is £580 in the uk...
It is just all really silly tbh how badly the uk is treated in terms of fair pricing and what is worse is if i bought it for £357 from america so i wasnt getting ripped off i would then end up paying close too 580 anyway as the import office will add tax (which is fine) but they would probaly match it off uk price's and then add fee's and so on making it close to 580 anyway.

Hi there
Spoken with NVIDIA, tomorrow 9am we shall have all Ti down to £359.99 on a first come first served basis on what is left, also 980 will drop too.
Kingpin included? I hear Kaapstad has some LN2 knocking around under his desk

They will all drop yes, but I won't be selling KingPin at £359.99 I am a afraid, we only have 5 left and we probably want to keep a pair for internal usage.
