Before the miners, how was the 1070's priced?

[VincentHanna]

Your correct, there isn't a reason.

Vega might give them a reason.

 

[Zeed]

The fact that they still have no competition from AMD gives them no motivation to drop prices either.

Ye just typed they be like:
Person I want to buy your 1070 but its to expensive
Nv well price is what it is if you dont like buy somethig else
Person but there is nothing else
Nv there you go then

With rescent show on pair with one year old 1080 welll nv wont need 2 do **** but amd will need 2 sell vega at low price and they wont be making descent money on it either since... Its more expensive to produce than 1080 for starters

 

[Zeed]

Other thing is that people are not waiting for vega. They waiting for nv price cut after vega. Add thats most ****** up situation

This still makes me laugh every time I watch it.

The bit about those who then upgraded from the 970 to a 980 says everything about the state of consumer psychology.

Nvidia essentially say bend over and take it, then a queue of people form shouting "me, me!"

EVGA GTX 1070 SC GAMING ACX 3.0 8GB for £420 back in October 2016.

Having a look at HUKD, there were multiple 1070s for around £310 over last year. Sometimes one would appear for about £280.

Yeah current prices suck.

 

[Scougar]

Saw deals on things like the RX 480 devil for $200, now they are wayyyy over $400 for the same ******* thing. Nuts.

If the companies are selling them... then were is the supply? AMD should be rolling in cash if the 'craze' is that high.

Certainly if this is similar to the last hike ( 2013 ) then it isn't the chip manufacturers making the money, it's the card manufacturers ~ Asus, Gigabyte and so on.

I managed to get a new ITX 1070 for £290, that a good deal?

 

[Griffildur]

so, one year later, we're back to the same conclusion. Buy whatever you need, whenever you see a deal you like, don't wait, as it's pointless. Does that just about sum it all up?

Pretty much, I prefer to get in when the product is released to get the most out of the lifespan of the product however sometimes that is regrettable because of early adopter issues.

I got lucky and bought one for £275 second hand just over a month ago. Felt pricey at the time but feels cheap now...

funny how the perception changes, right?

I had originally been looking at the zotac 1070 amp extreme which was at £369 at the start of June, about 2 weeks after that it had jumped to £465 so almost £100 jump in about 2 weeks. When the price hit mid £400's i decided 1080 was a better option but now looking at 1080ti and waiting for Vega to see if it drops the price on them enough.

Yea, I could actually sell my XFX 480 GTR XXX for far more than I bought it for a year ago lol. Cost me "only" £250 back then.

Only problem is any upgrade is out of stock with just as silly prices. So I'm just going to keep it until the fad comes to an end.
