**Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Thread**

Bit strange the boost clocks are the same on the AIO cards as the founders??????

Didn't Nvidia say they will boost to 2ghz?

Edit: nope i was dreaming :rolleyes:

Judging from the product code, we are looking at factory-overclocked model, although the clock speeds were not confirmed yet.

Asus didnt release their overclock until the last possible seconf until everybody else did so they could launch the fastest.
 
So, assuming £699 Founders Ti for 35% performance increase (application dependent), or the EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Gaming ACX 3.0, 8192 MB GDDR5X, for £445 - which is the better choice? **THIS IS NOT FOR GAMING**

I could buy one normal 1080, and then if I find I need to reduce my rendering times add another and spend a little more that what an AIB 1080Ti is, however the Ti looks promising, even with the increased power draw. However if I did want to add another it would mean a PSU change... I hate it when new stuff comes out when I am about to buy something!

Nvidia said there was no price drop on 1070s. The drops you see are just ocuk specials.

Only 1070 FE has dropped and its about £30, 1070 by board partners has no drops, just special deals which some partners have done.

Our best deals on 1070 is the Gigabyte FE at £359, the Asus Turbo at £359 and the MSI Quicksilver at £379.

can someone explain why at a price of 699 dollars, that would make ours worth 568.227 according to current exchange rate, why are we being charged 650-700 for it?

When most US companies announce pricing for their product, they always announce its base price, without any taxe. This is because in the US every state has a different % of sales tax (like our VAT here) so most americans wont be paying just $699, they'll have whatever their states sales tax on top to pay too.

In the UK we import at the base price, i.e. $699 converted using our exchange rate which would work out about £570, we than add out 20% VAT which works out around £690
 
Nvidias website has it down at £699 so I expect around £675-£700 for the Ti, £650 would be ideal I couldn't blow £700 on a gpu :/ I know it's only an extra £50 but the fact of blowing £700 would make me sick :/

On paper boost and what they will actually (for the most part) achieve out the box is another story - my 1070 has a 1683MHz boost clock but does 1911MHz fairly much sustained out the box and holds 2025MHz with a small voltage bump.

Nvidia just dropped 1080 pricing to $499, anyone paying more than £499 is being taking for a ride right now. Within a day or two the rebates for retailers will filter through and prices will drop on websites(for those willing to do so and if you stop buying they will).

When was the last time Nvidia actively dropped prices just for the good of their customers? Now out of nowhere, with a basically $600 price gap to install the 1080ti in between the 1080 and Titan X rather than put it in the middle and make more money, they chose to displace the 1080, drop it's price $200 and put down their profits on every single SKU.

Nvidia decided to be altruistic, for the first time in 20 years and completely against the ethos of the company, or something scared them into cutting the prices of every core they make.

317mm^2 core at $699, or 470m^2 core at $699, which has vastly more profit at that price point. 1080ti is 50% larger die size, which will increase direct costs maybe about 70%(yields go down as die size goes up), more memory within that prices is less profit on the actual chips. On top of that presuming 1080ti is available from AIBs and not just Nvidia, they cut out the extra profit reserved for themselves from the Titan X as they have to give up some of the profit to the AIB.

Nvidia would never, ever do this without feeling they had to, I can't think of a single reason other than Vega that they would feel they had to, can anyone here?

This is very interesting as nvidia has always seemed to have excellent sources inside amd. Nvidia's price drops may be much better Intel on Vega than all of the 5,000+ posts in the Vega thread combined. Tasty!

NVidia will know more than most about Vega, it is just not in their interests to share anything about it.

They will use their knowledge to guide their pricing though.:)
