Charlie sez they are using GP104 on the launch units to get an early win then switch to GP106 to save money and that's what's causing shortages.

I wouldn't put it past nVidia to not do this kind of trickery, I can imagine with the shortage of 1080/1070 there might be quite a few GP104 chips that couldn't make it into 1070, but how are they going to hide them from GPU-Z ? GTX 1060Ti confirmed?

£280 Flanders Edition, lol... Way to go nVidia
 
They have to make up shortages in chip supply by increasing prices, hence the Founders *cough* Throttling *cough* edition. Honestly, if I was in charge of the largest player in the GPU market I'd do exactly the same so I kind of understand them, even if I don't like them.

Same price as the RX 480, so good news for those who are in the market for a mid tier GPU.

1.2/1.3 = 0.923

*250 = £230.75

Any more than £230 = retailer markup above RRP.

I know but looking at the dollar price of the RX480 8gb which was $229, they ended up being £220+.

Also pound prices seem to be reaching parity now with dollar RRP's now on OCUK (ie 1070's at £380+ and 1080's at £590+. USD MSPR is $379 for the 1070 and $599 for the 1080..)
