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

Gibbo said:
OcUK is making a fortune on those as were pretty much the only store worldwide with a NVIDIA reference 970, OcUK was first and last on that one as I designed it. :D

Reality was when I had a few thousand in stock we were selling them sub £300. :)

Typically a high-end custom card with more power phase, improved cooling cost more than a reference design card.

Another example being we was selling the 980Ti reference cards at £500, whereas KingPin cards were £750. Reference cards are typically never the most expensive.

If you had to guesstimate how much do you think the likes of Classifieds and Matrix' will come in at ?

Unknown as they will come later by which time exchange rates could have moved in our favour or even gone against us.

If they were available right now I would expect Matrix and Classified to be just as much if not more!

Flagship custom cards will cost more!
High-end custom cards will cost similar!
Low-end custom cards (cheap blowers), will cost less!


People should be able to realise this, it is pretty much common sense, just look at our 980Ti pricing and bear in mind we typically sold the reference 980Ti's for around £500, only at the end of their lifespan did we increase pricing as I took decision to stop ordering those.
 
Still using my TitanXs and no intention of selling.

Benefits -
Titan Xs 4 way SLI.
12gb VRAM.
overclocked performance with 10% of 1080 overclocked performance.
Waterblocks fitted so no overheating.

I will definitely get the GTX 1080 but only when I can get what I want.

Lower price.
Non reference PCB.
8 & 6 pin power connectors minimum.
better cooler.
Waterblocks available.

Definitely interested in the Classified or Matrix.

Do you think it is unlikely that we will see a Kingpin Edition from EVGA.

This is ignoring the fact that we haven't before had a 100$ negative difference in the MSRP between the reference and custom models. Even for the 980Ti the "non extreme" custom cards like the MSI Gaming were only about £40-£50 if that more than the reference lowest price blowers.

The 900 series started at exactly the exchange rate at the time + 20% VAT.

Why is that different now? Well actually I know why, because Nvidia have zero competition...

Until we know the pricing we don't know how Nvidia are going to play this generation.

They could also have priced the 1080 at current prices to keep the 980ti's place in the product stack.

We need an AMD reply to keep then honest.

I am confident these cards with additional power phase and hybrid coolers will overclock insane, the reference cards can do 2GHz plus, I'd be amazed if we did not see some Hybrid Classified cooled style cards close to 2.5GHz OC.

Time will tell. :)

Well now all that sold their 980ti's because of all the scaremongering now regret it for sure... Basically they are going to pay £300 extra on what they sold their cards for and all for a %20 increase at best and worse cooler than the ones they had on their 980ti's..

If it's any consolation, Nvidia will probably have amnesia about 980Ti and other old gen cards, and the need of optimising drivers for them :p
 
Wow, what happened to the $ to £. to inflate these prices, i thought they were supposed to be $600 not $800.

Very surprised. Im definately out.

Even if the case, my point still stands because a Classy, KingPin, Matrix are always more than $100 additional cost over a boggo reference card. :)

Still its just a matter of time, not exactly worth losing any sleep over. :)

I'm pretty much in the same boat and I'll take the same approach.

If your living in the US and buy a card from OcUK the card would cost the person in the US $725-$750 depending on the exchange rate the bank/cc company gave for the transaction.

So UK pricing is not far from US MSRP of $699 really.


Just like if you buy a card from the US online delivered to the UK, then customs will add import and VAT charges, plus delivery etc. and again the final amount will be similar or more, with no UK support.

People are comparing the 1080 launch price to the launch price of the GTX 680.

What they are forgetting is the GTX 1080 is 4x as fast as a GTX 680.
 
think il be waiting for the better cooled and powered none flounders edition cards, which should be at the very least be under £600.
