Let's just all sit down by the campfire... sing a little kum ba yah and agree we are going to need at least a full tub of lube to take the pricings.....
I really can't see 1080ti coming in at less than £500. Unless it's some strange end of line deal that Gibbo has been known to pull off very occasionally. I'd expect them to settle at £530-600 while 1080 comes down to around £400. 1080's are nearly there as it is.
Not sure about your reflection on the 8800GTX; IMO it was a good medium to long term buy for those that got one, given it had very few weaknesses (fillrate / bandwidth / vram / feature support etc). It was released in 2006 and whilst cheaper, the 8800GT that came nearly a year later was slower and has less VRAM so less longevity. The 9800 range didn't show up until 2008.
Well terrible sorry if correcting false information isn't to your liking.
HDMI is not a free and open standard.
AMD calculates TDP based on boost clocks my friend(Vega is more complicated tech and the minds of Nvidia crowd cannot comprehend the technical stuff)
My Nitro+ has to be overclocked to it's limits (close to 1747) on air to hit 345W.
True it doesn't scale linearly, but I can tell you 170-176W the Vega 64 runs at 10-15% over the base clock (~1400 cooler depending), and 80W at close to base clock 1260.
Also 276W power limit (Turbo Mode) is 1630 clock (effective 1570-1600 cooler depending) on Nitro+ and Red Devil.
Factory overclocked GTX1080Ti at 2021ish like the Lightning, Xtreme etc need 330-350W maxed out not 250W.
I had the 1080Ti Xtreme and mine like those on the reviews of those top of the range 1080Tis show the same power draw, 330-350W at factory overclock speed.
I thought your 176W must be a typo because you're claiming that your 64 is more efficient than a reference 1080. Sorry I can't take it seriously as I presume you're undervolting so it's not a valid comparison.

Finally, why do you feel it's necessary to go OTT? You acted in the same fashion during the Vega launch.

Nvidia live timer on Twitch:

So looking at that timer,that is 5PM today for the launch.

Just going to chime in. As far as I'm aware nobody is undervolting 1080s to get them to run at over 2000mhz (or at least to get max oc), but instead increasing the voltage do get there. This is going to quickly put up the power consumption to well over 300w. The Vega card however, is able to get much better overclocks and much more stable clocks when it's undervolted. Trust me i'v ran about a 1000 tests in the last few days trying to get there on a reference card.
Anyway if both the cards are using similar power and you actually have a vega that can go steady over 1700mhz then it will be the more efficient card because they are quite a lot faster at these speeds.

So yea max oc vs max oc vega is more power efficient. You could argue but since when did anyone on this forum care about factory settings.
As a Yank, you Brits are really putting too much weight on US sales tax when trying to determine cost like It's some sort of arcane magic It's not that varied: Sales tax is normally between 4-7.25% depending on state. The only higher would be if you buy in a city where the sales tax can be a bit lower or higher than the state it's in e.g
NYC.
That said, anyone making a big retail purchase in the US knows how to minimize the sales tax, write it off on taxes, or not pay the sales tax altogether (entirely legally, btw).
Fix it for you.
What NVidia announce and when cards are available could be two very different things. I notice their online store has just got a load more 10XX cards back in stock.
The NVidia Titan cards (Pascal or Volta) use a lot less power than Vega and are definitely faster and more efficient.
The Vega cards are nice but do use more power.
All this talk about power consumption is silly though as a Vega card over a year of gaming will use about £5 more electricity than a top end Pascal card.
There are some scenarios when buying online when you are not taxed on your purchases. When buying GPUs on Newegg for example, only about 10 states have to pay sales tax on their orders and people from the rest of the states are not taxed by Newegg on their purchases. Probably why a lot of Americans will purchase their GPU online.
Anyway, happy Nvidia day!
