I bought GTX 970 for 225 on release.

Its was an inno 3D one with a crap plastic cooler...

It was cheap though

Speculation. Have faith investors see potential in the UK's free open trade deals to any country on Earth after we escape the EU nightmare.

Yeah but it might happen. Half the issue people are complaining so much now about the price of the 1080 is the exchange rate.

in 2007 in was $2.11 dollars to the pound. If it was that today, even the FE edition would only be costing £398 inc VAT and the none founders would be £340 inc VAT.

I suspect at under £400 there would be a lot less said about the price of this card and a lot more bought in the UK.

It's as if Galax are saying yep, you would need to be a clown to buy this.

Then after the BREX BS is over maybe we'll see some pound strength.

True but it will probably mean we will be stuck with £600+ 1080's cards for the rest of the year.

When i saw that card I had to double check the date to make sure it wasn't april fools...

Thats something special...

Naff Galax cards are not a new phenomena

The funny part is that the people who made it think that is the best possible design.

Just saw this somewhere.
Some retailer stock piled Gigabyte GTX 1080 Founders Edition boxes just in time days before available for sales on 27 May 2016.

stock piled? I see 8
the cards piled up behind it appear to be other gigabyte cards

cadmunkey · 24 May 2016 at 13:46

Could that Galax card be any more random. I mean WTF???

Freddie1980 · 24 May 2016 at 14:05

That box art on the Galax 1080 is so ugly it makes you forget the price.........

Did you take that photo?

7 boxes that's some stockpile.

More like "taking delivery of their alloted units"?

Gerard · 24 May 2016 at 15:25

Galax version looks lol worthy, id love to see the rejected designs if somehow that won out. And gigabyte yet again slapping on the "robotic eye" onto their box, original.

The graphics card designed for the serial killer?

I guess you are probably right! I mean the FE Edition is CLEARLY designed for Batman, so it's only fair that they design one for Joker as well!
