think the star of the show will be the 1070 FE for £379 and non for £319

nearly half the price and 90% of the performance :)

LOL, good one. Hope people don't actually think this is going to happen? After what's happened with the 1080, how could anyone??

People without a 980ti? I have a titan and was looking forward to the 1080 as it's about twice the performance. However it's not £620 of performance.

It's not £620 though is it. Assuming that you'd replace the Titan with the 1080 and sell it then that is £300 back in your pocket making the 1080 only £320 upgrade

I'm not saying nvidia priced the 1080 just because of that. They probably priced it for its relative performance to current gen cards.

If that's how it worked then every next gen card should be 15-30% more expensive than previous one and by now we'll be paying about £4000 for a mid range GPU.

Surely you have inflation and currency exchange to account for over time but there is no reason why the same tier GPU should be more than 5-10% at most more expensive than previous one.
 
Silly price for a midrange card, its not about performance its about the price comparison between last gens midrage, its a massive price jump just because there's no competition. Its worth it for america but $600 is not £600. 1080 should be around £450, 1070 around £350. Getting tired of the stupid UK tax.

It seems all Nvidia have done here is switch up the tiers. So the 1080 now occupies the position of the 980Ti, the 1070 will slot in where the 980 was, and 1080Ti will take up a new position in-between the 1080 and next Titan. I expect a 1060Ti to slot in where the 970 was, with the 1060 hoovering up below that. Why have Nvidia done this you may ask? You don't need a degree in economics to answer that... people will pay and they make more money! Simple!! :rolleyes:

Of course you mean $699 not $600

theres no chance

FE 1070 will be 369-379 and maybe add £20 for an asus variant

no chance it can be over 400, if it is im out, finished with these pascal and buying a used titan x or 980 ti

No chance it WON'T be over £400, not for the FE anyway. AIB custom cards, perhaps a smidge under, depending on spec and performance, but best case scenario you won't be getting much change from £400 no matter what. Just look at how close in £ the 1080 has fallen to the $ price. 1070 is obviously going to follow suit.

What price is 980Ti going to have after these are released ? ...350-400£ ? :D

Will entirely depend on the performance, which will be close, but if the 1070 does a solid job of besting the 980Ti, it will certainly have to drop quite a bit from its lofty £500 perch. We of course don't know the 1070 price yet though... might be a sting in the tail there, remains to be seen!

Its pre order because chances are it it will sell out straight away on launch. Plus it will be limited stocks.

You're probably right but wouldn't it be great if hardly any of these 1080's shifted on launch; it might just send a message to nVidia that were fed up of getting fleeced.

That won't happen though so the best we can hope for right now is that AMD pull something amazing out of the bag and price it aggressively.

Personally I'm happy to stick with my 980 Ti as the GTX 1080 is in no way a worthwhile upgrade for me.

Fingers crossed the 980ti tumbles far from its £500 grace! I'm waiting to pounce if it does! :D
 
Given 970/980/980Ti are now EOL and have even been removed from the Nvidia site on their desktop product list, what is typically the fate of all the stock that remains, and the retail price of these products? I am sure there will still be plenty of stock out there, but clearly these are still very competent cards. Therefore if the price was slashed too aggressively, this could potentially steal sales from the new GPU's? But at the same time, that stock obviously carries a lot of value which retailers and Nvidia won't want to burn.
 
Lol at ocuk staff defending the prices. Please tell you lot haven't turned into a bunch of YES guys?

A 104 variant GPU has NO business being 620 quid..
