Any progress/new on 1080 pre-orders?

Like those who jump on any video game pre-order at that. Games broken on release seems to be the norm now, to the point where many folks even accept it! I don't expect a graphics card to be broken on release though, or it would affect Nvidia's image a fair bit. As if other things haven't tried so already.

On that note I would still wait, no matter what card i had in my machine. If you buy a 1080 and then a few months down the line Polaris/Vega do come out with a gobsmacker or even the 1080 Ti, then maybe you'll feel you should have waited.

One could be waiting forever, and my 3GB 780's were long in the tooth. Even if I just purchase a single 1080 its not big deal if I want to sell up next year, I have savings put away for my computer and I'd either buy a Ti or a second regular 1080 ;)

The more worrying thing is the amount of games which are still in alpha 2+ years after release and still charging full price for the damn game!

Well 780Tis were sold off £300 brand new shortly after the 900 series launch and the 980 wasn't 30% quicker (like the 1080 is looking like compared with the 980Ti).

If there is a lot of left over stock I fully expect 980Tis to be going for ~£300 this summer brand new.

Look at all those 10+ stock 980Ti's......

I know. Not only that but unlike 780ti to 980 we now have a different process with the 1080 and proper dx12 support,both of which appeal more.will be interesting watching the prices over the coming weeks or months

Any need for a new thread every time you've got a question?

Gibbo will post a wink face thread when the new cards are nearly available to order.

Well I am so very sorry If I put you all out by starting a new thread, how can I ever atone for my sins? I am going to go away now and think long and hard about what I have done :o

To be fair to Mikuru, the first line in the big Pascal thread.

Mod note - Please note, this thread is for the general discussion of the Pascal range including gossip, rumours etc.. If you have a more specific question, like will it run my PC etc, then please feel free to start a new thread but please keep general comments in here.
