GTX 1070 - any takers?

Yes more expensive than what websites stated before release, however the performance warrants the price.

Titan X is double the price and outperformed..

So when's the 1060 coming out? (don't know if they are releasing such model) :p

Titan X is a previous generation card on an ageing 28nm process - I'd hope the next generation cards were around the same performance for mid-range and considerably faster for the high end :S
 
Hm, about £20-30 more expensive across the board for the custom versions.

Will wait until the silly prices stop. Funny watching the prices, as they have been all over the place since this morning on OCUK. They are just figuring out how much they can fleece us for :D

A certain retailer initially put custom 1080's on for what I assume is the RRP (FTW, Strix, G1 etc) but even they have caught on now and are joining in on the gouging. I don't blame them as people are still buying, but I won't be a part of it thanks.

Yeah good point that's expected of course, I find it amazing the rate graphics are moving forward, especially considering I still have a 7870 so not that up to date in hardware ;)

AMD RX 480 might be more for me.. and others by the sound of it :p

Nvidia says. That's why they named it the 1070.

We know it's a cut down GP104 GPU. So unless you're saying there's a chance that GP104 is the biggest and best Pascal GPU Nvidia have lined up, then we can be like 99.9% sure that it sits in the exact same position that the 670 and 970 did before it. 770 was a rebrand, which obviously the 1070 is not.

Lastly, the 1070 is actually more cut down than the 970 was in comparison to its fully activated brother.

So yes, people complaining about the prices and the £100-150 hike over the 970 are perfectly justified in doing so. It is quite ridiculous. Of course if somebody wants to get one, I'm not gonna say anything. That's cool, people can make their own value judgements. But those saying the prices are insane have some pretty good justifications for doing so.

I'd mostly ruled myself out of buying one before, but now it's 100% guaranteed.

It's also making me worried about retailers turning the 480's great price into something not-so-great when it actually releases.

Yes good points more so are the retailers going to gouge the hell out of the 480's will see

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

Yep keeping my 780 now, Really wanted an upgrade but the prices is sickening, Hope AMD can come back strong or we are doomed, Good start with the RX 480 but we need something in the higher range !
 
Really very surprised GTX 1070 FE at £399 selling like hot cakes with 8 left.

I wished I would get Founders Edition if it had idle passive 0db mode feature which MSI got so hopefully custom prices will settle down to £329 where it should be in the next few weeks. I will wait to get one when MSI Gaming X is in stock.

The Titan X is one of the worst-value cards in history. Maybe the worst taking into account how quickly the 980 Ti arrived after it. Using it as the yardstick for value is completely disingenuous.
 
MSI have no less than 6 x different GTX1070 models they are launching :eek: when prices settle down GTX 980 Ti will either have to drop £100 or GTX 1070 prices come back down to earth I mean £549.99 for a custom MSI GTX 1070 is totally insane :eek:

For a die shrink Nvidia really are marketing this one for all its worth. Good news for anyone wanting a new GTX 980 Ti though those have to plunge price wise in the next few weeks no way can the current prices be justified anymore ;)
 
Given what we were told the Founders Edition is actually fair as it's selling at RRP.

It's the aftermarket stuff that's a joke. So much for "up to €100 cheaper".

I wonder whether that has anything to do with the crazy prices.

The higher they price the 1070/1080, the less they need to discount the 980Ti(and also the 970 and 980). So if they've still got a lot of these sitting around in stock, they might be worried about losing too much money on them if they had to heavily decrease their prices nearly overnight.

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.

I think you are on point. Price seems normal on the other side of the pond. Here in the EU its a completely different story.

It is absolutely the UK/EU retailers cashing in.

The 1080 G1/ 1080 FTW prices that were on a competitor a week a go proves this.

They know demand is sky high and supply is low so until that goes the other way, prices will stay well and truly gouged unfortunately.
