** NVIDIA GTX 1080 FOUNDERS EDITION: WANNA PRE-ORDER?

[RavenXXX2]

twice the 980Ti performance

Nope

 

[tcfreer]

Sorry but those prices are a joke.

I was already to by at £550 ish dependent, but not a chance now

Stupid price. Nvidia really are taking the **** out of the UK. I will just have to make my Voodoo 2 SLI last a bit longer until the prices come down to a sensible level

 

[mahius]

I like how people here are just complaining about the price. And yet no doubt these will sell like hotcakes and I'll bet OCUK and other retailers will be out of initial stock very quickly. Why? I dunno, ask your neighbour.

I'll just sit back and watch the chaos unfold and entertain me.

 

[gary996]

I would like to know what idiot will pay that price for one

 

[fiveub]

I can see these selling like hot cakes to be honest with you.

You have to bear in mind that Hot Cakes are considerably easier to swallow...

If we get AIB versions with additional power connectors and decent cooling for sub £550 then as much as it would sting the wallet, I'll probably end up getting one. £620-650 for a reference card? No chance.

 

[rickmomenton]

Joke prices.

 

[Darkman]

If you need to ask the price...

Hopefully the EU referendum uncertainty will be over soon and the pound will start to recover against the dollar.

 

[trickynickyuk]

Nvidia have always been the same with the pricing charge loads on release wait a few month and grab them near half price when they release the Ti Version

I will be in the US in June so might be tempted to buy a 1070 or maybe a 1080 if the price is good. Even adding VAT I'm looking at under £500 for the 1080 and even less for a 1070.

I reckon I'm going to have to convince my boss that I 'need' a graphics card upgrade (excel needs to run at 144fps for max performance and all that) but will happily pay for it myself if they eat the VAT.

 

[thenoseknows]

What's with the price for Asus' card? How is it £30 better than the KFA2 card, for example?

 

[cheesyboy]

$699 is £482 at today's exchange

Add VAT (that US price doesn't include sales tax) and you get £578.

So £620 isn't such a terrible comparison.

 

[FloppyPoppy]

Don't forget being the founders card it's going to have a premium. Waiting for none founders here

 

[TwsT]

I do agree there is an unfair 'uk' tax being added from the US price but I have to say that with, in some cases, twice the 980Ti performance I'd rather spend £620 on a 1080 than £500 on a 980Ti.

Off to the USA soon so might head to a 'no sales tax' state next to Boston

US online sales are tax free for most people in most cases but some will have to pay 18% if they are unlucky

People expecting a new generation NVIDIA card with superior performance to the current generation products with a very low supply at launch to be reasonably priced...



It is expensive, but it will sell out straight away, then people can wait for cheaper custom cards further down the line, until AMD give NVIDIA a reason to do it another way we'll just have to live with it. It's a great card, but I'll wait for the 1080Ti

 

[tipes]

meh - think I will keep my titan.

 

[crinkleshoes]

lol @ mid-range GPU for £630... absolutely insane.

I'm skipping this generation on principle...
