**Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Thread**

My plan is to sell my GTX 1080 and buy a second GTX 980 Ti ,which is only costing me a bit more than GTX 1060 6GB than after few months i will buy a GTX 1080 Ti lightning or matrix edition.

Hang on a tick, you got a 1080 but want a second 980ti? What's in your system? I'm lost.

I think he meant to type "hand" after "second".
 
GTX 980 launch price was $549 back in 2014 then GTX 980 Ti was launched in 2015 $100 more at $649. GTX 1080 launch price was $599 so I think Nvidia will set 1080 Ti price to $699. That would be close to £699 included VAT.

Unfortunately it never is quite as simple as that. Knowing Nvidia, they will price it much higher in the UK and there'll be a few fools defending that pricing, using various excuses. A shame, cos £600 is that magic number for the 1080ti, where a lot of people would all of a sudden be willing to buy it at that price. And expect £800+ for the popular AIB versions, no doubt Nvidia will keep the $100 Reference Founder's Edition tax.

Which is all the reason for people to wait till Vega actually releases and for retailers to do the odd sale on 1080tis which will by then be plenty in stock. Nvidia will likely do a Nintendo and have low stock at release so people will be on waiting lists for their 1080tis.
 
Even at £600 I would not buy it. It would mean Nvidia know something and want to shift as many units as possible before Vega is out. It is best to wait see what Vega brings then buy whichever provides best price for performance at that point.
