Where? Cause find it for that price anywhere. I know cant say competing sites so just a hint maybe :P

I've found a Gigabyte going for £535, that's the lowest ive seen a 1080 being sold for but im skeptical on why it's so low whereas every other brand is atleast £100 more :s

If it's the windforce model I wouldn't worry.I used one in a build recently and it was great.Very cool and quiet minus the G1 rgb.No coil whine.
 
£1000? Ooof... then it better be more powerful than a Titan XP for that price, or I'm not bothering (heck I wouldn't bother if it weren't more powerful than TXP anyway). Get's me wondering as to what price Vega will release at. Some say around £600 for the 1080 competitor (Big Vega?).

But I bet the Nvidia mindshare will mean that people with money will buy a 1080ti anyway, even if it costs like £400 more (you could buy a 1070 with that difference!). All we can do right now is speculate on the most important things: price and performance. A shame we've got no CES demos to gauge the 1080ti performance like we can with Vega.

I'm still of the opinion that Vega will be my next step. I've never gone for an AMD card before so should be fun!

Depends on the price and performance of the Vega - but I might well be joining you.
I'd originally intended waiting on the 1080 Ti but Nvidia's recent pricing structure has really annoyed me (plus there's the extra for their Gsync tax)
 
The big issue is that by the time we get this card its likely that we will have £:$ parity so even though it might be priced at reasonable $ RRP it wont look good compared to the 1080 pricing in the UK.

Oh course same applies to AMD. They might have a 1080 beater at £500 at the exchange rate when the 1080 came out but by the time its launched that might equate to £700.

People will then say AMD are a waste of time and space releasing a card only slightly faster than a 1080 a year later and it even costs more money.

SO glad I pushed the button on Pascal when I did. I can see me not swapping until 2018 now.
 
At PAX East 2017 show

Although the Geforce GTX 1080 Ti was expected at the CES 2017 show, Nvidia has apparently decided to slightly delay it and, according to latest reports, the card is expected to launch at the PAX East 2017 show which starts on March 10th in Boston.

According to the story that was circling around the CES 2017 show, Nvidia was actually planning to reveal the GTX 1080 Ti at the show but has decided to delay it in order to wait for AMD's Vega -based graphics card and try to rain on its parade.

According to The Tech Buyer's Guru site, which cites "a friendly rep at the MSI booth", the GTX 1080 Ti graphics card is real and will be available from all Nvidia AIC partners, as soon as Nvidia gives the green light at the PAX East 2017 show.

This also means that the GTX 1080 Ti will probably be available from day one and it is also possible that partners got a green light to make custom versions.

In case you missed all the earlier rumors, the GTX 1080 Ti is likely to be based on the same 16nm GP102 Pascal GPU as the Titan X, but pack anywhere between 2560 and 3584 CUDA cores. It should also pack 10GB of GDDR5X VRAM on a 320-bit memory interface.

AMD's upcoming Vega 10-based graphics card performance was impressive at the show, but Nvidia's GTX 1080 Ti is certainly packing a lot of power as well.

As far as pricing is I'd say it's all down to VEGA. If it's similar to the 1080Ti's performance and launches at say £6-700? or less? Then nvidia will have to drop its price to match.

Then again if AMD bork this up and launch at silly money and it's underpowered. We may see the £800+ for FE.

I am not at all expecting VEGA to match the 1080Ti... it will fall short, but beat the 1080. Which given VEGA is launching in May is actually the absolute least it should manage, but offering no serious competition to 1080Ti (which will be launching sooner) means AMD have lost again at the top tier. I guess it's hard to compete with Nvidia's R&D budget, but I think we're just going to have to get used to this status quo... AMD are always going to play second fiddle to Nvidia, who simply have too much money to be able to compete with. AMD aren't going anywhere, they will still be an entity that hovers, able to offer product, but Nvidia are pretty much untouchable now I reckon.
