[OverDrive]

I'm also out at these prices, way too much for a mainstream card.

Gigabyte 1070 FE stock just went from 3 to 7...... Buyer's remorse?

 

[chroniclard]

Price seems hefty but then you notice its faster than a Titan X. Still quite expensive mind.

oh right (about the clown card lol)

am i a bad person i am considering the msi armor or zotac im pretty desperate for a new gfx card

 

[windheaven]

im still running a gtx 680...all these cards are making my mouth water....

 

[oweneades]

Well meh.

I think I will "replace" my 970 with the old Titan/690 I have lying around for now.

 

[tyler_jrb]

Nearly spat my tea out looking at these 1070 prices.

The hell are they thinking? Used 980Ti is an absolute bargain compared to this.

No
If you need a new GPU now then you what do you do, I don't think anyone's bad for buying a GPU.

Does anyone know why the Asus Strix 1070 is priced so high in comparison to the others?

 

[Rroff]

Pricing is WAY off. I wanted to go green this time round after I've had a nightmare with crimson drivers but I don't have mug cut into my forehead.

Indeed - the cards I would buy in the lineup are about £50 more than the upper limit of what I could justify to myself for what they really are.

2 things - Asus seem to be under some delusion their brand is worth more and I think OcUK are putting a bit more on because they are providing an enhanced RMA service for the card off their own effort.

Shock the mid-range card in a new generation matches or slightly beats the high end of the past generation.

Yeah, sold my 980 for £275 and bought a used 980Ti for £300. Felt silly at the time but the outlay was only £25. Glad I did it now.

 

[Razor Time]

I never thought I would see a gpu fourth in the stack going for £400+. Sheer madness.

 

[CREATIVE!11]

could somebody explain the story behind the 'clown card' ?

A clown card has many faces, there is no one story.
