GTX 1070 - any takers?

[Paul N]

With these release prices, think I'd prefer to wait and support AMD.

Yep Bought one of their 680GTX a few years ago, works a charm

used to be Galaxy but they changed there european name i think

nice one bud did you overclock?

Not the 1070 price I was looking at .. almost thinking 1080 while I am spending

my 780Ti is not 100% cutting it in VR so need a good boost

Well, there goes my plan of getting a Gigabyte windforce 1070 to replace my 760. I'll wait to see if the AMD releases lead to price drops, but if not I'm waiting to see what the 1060 offers.....

 

[skywalker909]

hahaha. exactly what I'm thinking

suddenly, gtx 1080 doesn't look that bad afterall

This is what happens when AMD cannot compete. These are going for 500€+ here. I was hoping for something closer to 360-400€ (which is reasonable considering the msrp).

I guess i was right saying 1070 will be around 420 mark.

unfortunately. I was going to get one but not that at that price tag.

This isn't the Freddy Kreuger card...

It's the Darkman card...

It's possibly not Nvidia to blame here. Looking at the US, the 1080 prices are all fairly reasonable. Seems like it could easily be UK/EU retailers jacking up the price because of limited supply and getting greedy when thinking about covering their import costs + tax.

 

[skywalker909]

was thinking of going for 1080ti but seeing where nvidia is going with its pricing there is no way I'm spending £1k for a gpu

Was pretty obvious after the Polaris reveal that AMD would have nothing to offer for consumers looking for better than last-gen performance, and thus the msrp was quickly forgotten.

MSI Seahawk 1070 @ £549.95...

I'm going to buy two, rip the water coolers off and put air coolers on.

Might as well go full retard with my purchase, no point doing these things in halves!

 

[Skribla]

A bit too high at the moment but with no competition and AMD late again these prices were to be expected for the performance.

fair point.
But demand was similar with 970 and prices remained reasonable.

Looks like I'm keeping my 970 and seeing what AMD can come up with.

449 usd on the egg so I'm sure this is just a reaction to the Polaris announcement by AMD (so 500€ or £375 with vat added).

You know what, when the new one comes out with the VR headset support I might do the same and ditch PC gaming. NVidia are smoking the crack pipe if they think they can push the prices this far.

I'll wait for an AMD card that can offer a decent upgrade over my 290 at a good price. I was all geared to buy one of these but F that now.

Not touching at these prices.
