**Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Thread**

It's a US price $699 and we still don't know if that's without sale tax. US products don't included sale tax. You only pay tax on checkout when buying something. Tax % is different in every state as well.

You really are still clinging onto £800+ aren't you lol, just eat your crow up and be done with it, I suggest a side order of fries.

Ah yes. I can see it's about 4-8% off.

Was expecting more. :o

Something like 1070's at £330. That was the price I originally bought my 970.

4-8% ?

I don't get that, does brexit Tax work both ways now?, you would think $100 price drop would yield better results than that considering how much extra we pay on dollar items.

Perhaps it's an indication of a high UK price for the Ti, may have to eat my hat :-(

Glad I'll be watercooling, so I can simply go with the cheapest and rip the cooler off. Assuming I get one that is... I'm going to wait until VEGA drops. 1070 will tide me over until then.

takeaways from me.

a) There is no doubt I will be buying a 1080ti (and a VEGA!)
b) This is a normalisation of prices due to competition, this is not a problem for AMD, it is a problem for Nvidia this means....
c) Vega must be as least as fast as the 1080 at a similar price level
d) Glad I did not drink the 1080 cool-aid (my 1080 cards were £852 each all-in before I sent them back)
e) There is in-fact a large amount of full-fat GP102 class chips that Nvidia are sitting on
f) Nvidia have bumped the clock speed of the 1080ti over the Titan Pascal in order to put clear air between it and Vega.

Big Vega beats Titan X in my mind, no question now. $200 cheaper ti... 1080 retains it's price, Titan retains it's price... they don't expect much from Vega or don't know.

Half the Titan X price, kill the 1080 pricing requiring the 1080 to be slashed in price and offer a big core at $700..... there is a sole reason for this. Vega is going to own Pascal. This is literally a inventory clearing move. You slash prices to clear stock before a product comes along and makes your inventory significantly devalued. IE you sell at a smaller profit much quicker in the short term to prevent being stuck with a lot of inventory that you can now only sell for a much lower profit or even at a loss.

Honestly $699 ti, with higher performance compared to a Titan at $1200 screams to me that they think Vega is shortly going to come along and kick their behinds and they don't want to be sitting on several hundred million of expensive inventory they can't make a profit on any more.
