GTX 1070 - any takers?
- Thread starter skywalker909
- Start date
I don't think £410 is unreasonable for an FE. Bit silly to go a tenner over £400 when you could do £399 (which I'm sure is the more likely actual price), but not a big deal.
The customs being potentially even more expensive just sounds like taking advantage of low supply and high demand - they should nearly all be below £400. Most custom 1080s were originally below the FE pricing but as they pop into stock or get near to being available the prices magically jump up to £635/649 which again is probably taking advantage of weak supply.

try it out, if the noise is ok then you're golden. If not, slap an AIB cooler on it down the line and you're good.
Well i assume its will be either direct form each manufacture ie far east and then there will be major distributor that deals with most as one ....i know OCuk use one VIP's distribution + there are others
Prices are as expected and what I said about 10 pages ago!
GTX 980 Ti market will be toast if the GTX 1070 is much cheaper as it then means Nvidia need to drop £100 off the 980 Ti price overnight & take a big hit financially.
Until there are lots of GTX 1070 in the retail channels expect the prices to be a lot higher than you expected
The blower is the biggest disappointment all the reviews have clearly been done on open benches or not for very long to prevent the thermals from heating up as once in the case the temps skyrocket as does the fan noise after a few minutes of heavy useage 
This sort of practice has gone on for well over a decade as well BTW! The resellers are not really the culprit as they would prefer volume on lower margin = higher profits! Its all down to the GPU makers wanting to keep certain prices higher to avoid sinking their other existing high end GPU values rapidly!

what i meant was nvidia was having a price for the us with the card coming from where ever it comes from to the usa and then them saying its bla bla price and not having other countrys because of tax vat etc
To be honest the 1080 prices are just as bad and look at how high demand is for those.
The only difference with the 1070 is I expected Nvidia/retailers to take advantage of the fact that a price of £350 would turn a lot of heads. Instead they've bumped it up and people are turning away in disgust.

980ti would simply be EOL'd and nVidia would have been prepared for that for months.
Gouge ..tax ...gouge again...tax again ...then partner premium tax ..then where taking the **** tax too with FE

I will do what I have done with my last two GPU purchases now...
Pick something up from the members market when I need a bump in performance
I'll sit and wait for a nicely priced 980ti

You forgot to add -Lets be honest there are now 3 companies damaging the PC market.
1. Microsoft (Windows 8,8.1 and now windows 10)
2. Intel with their stupid prices since Skylake came out. Broadwell-E is just a bad joke, 6950X .. 70% price jump from every other Extreme chip that came before it.
3. Nvidia... since the 780,780Ti prices and then they sort of fixed that with the 970 prices and then 980 fell in a strange spot and not worth buying and 980Ti expensive but when you compare it to 2x970 (SLI) performance for the same price and have only one card and no SLI issues made it look like a good price but reality it was over priced.
Now the 1000 series is just a really bad joke on all levels, considering it is a Maxwell die shrink with minor tweaks and the only real thing that made it shine was the manufacturing process 16nm shrink that allowed high clock speeds ( or as Nvidia call it one of the MIRACLES of Pascal
If the 1080Ti comes out at £800-850+( which is normally the x70 card x 2 = x80Ti price) I'm going to wait for Volta or whatever AMD brings out in the highend that competes with the Volta and hopefully sensibly priced.
Or will just wait for a graphics card in the 2nd hand market from now on to update and not give them my money directly.
4. AMD with the debacle of the Fury & 390 (pricing, performance & lack of overclocking, rehashes) and supposedly having a massive advantage to release cards on the new node. Nvidia are about to release their second while AMD have released zilch.
Basically they're all to blame and we're just Prawns in the Game.......

From what I can see, the 10 series is just a die shrunk, highly clocked Maxwell with more ram anyway.
Total and utter ripoff.
Total and utter ripoff.
When has that EVER happened though, a significant drop on a card a short while after release? Heck, just look at how high the 970/980 price stayed throughout its run. I think it's nothing but wishful thinking to hope these prices will fall. Nvidia have cemented themselves as the Apple of the GPU world and nothing will change. Yes, in an ideal world NO-ONE would buy therefore driving prices down, but that's obviously not going to happen. Common sense always loses out to the desire for new shiny with the vast majority, and I would bet that most people won't even question the price, they'll just hand over the cash with a smile on their face. Is the way of the world.
Totally agree, it's completely wishful thinking on my part because this is so crazy and I selfishly want a good upgrade without getting a mortgage.
As you said, people will lap it up and have far more money than sense, while NV and retailers laugh all the way to the bank. Thing is, PC's are obviously big hobbies for us but how far does all this go? Surely it's now bordering on biting the hand that feeds them and they'll then start complaining there's no money in PC components any more.

prices are within reason- the reason being NO competition so charge as much as you like whilst still being able to sell old stock. Prob why Vega was been moved to a closer launch date ??
dont think anyone here would say they'd sell a product cheaper if they no they can make Maximum profits for a while.
GTX 1060 is where the price war will kick off. Mabe Vega will start one with Future Ti/TX
currently vendors shipping Cards to retailers at a special price for the time being... unable to find the price though, but prices may change or retailers may just take a bit of cut in profits and all stays the same
