But, but, we are in Europe, I thought that gave us good buying power
Got to love good old blighty
We are everyone's suckers here...
Nice one.
Do you have any custom cards/info on other custom cards aswell at 14:00?
I have absolutely everything but am telling you all nothing until 14:00 Friday.
OMG this Asus, OMG it is so nice, oh my oh my.

EU is buggered and has just a bad exchange rate as us. Well almost. FE cards are £607 across Europe so we have lost out slightly by £12 or 2%.
And buying power was the wrong choice of words, I just meant with our current exchange rate, all imports are 50% more than they used to be.
Fools Edition
Previously @ Nvidia HQ....
Marketing "you know how the reference cards always come out first"
Boss "Uh huh"
Marketing "and never really sell incredibly well as everyone wants the improved aftermarket designs"
Boss "uh huh"
Marketing "why don't we call them the "founders edition" and pretend they're the superior cards, the version to buy, the premium option"
Boss "hmmmmmmmmmmmm"
Marketing "you know whack £50 on, rake in some early profit margins while the vendors potter about creating aftermarket heatsinks"
Boss "I like that. A lot."
Marketing "Founders Edition, sounds classy right"
Boss "Make it £100 surcharge, the punters will lap it up, oh and tell Asus to make it £130 surcharge LOLs"

Waiting for Custom card info. Cheers Gibbo
Prices are up globally for this Card. America is complaining, Canada is complaining, Australian is complaining, India is complaining.
Sure the exchange rate doesn't help but total nonsense to blame the £620+ price on the exchange rate. nonsense.
All the complaints is about the $100 on the Founders edition, not about the normal edition being $50 up on last model.
Everybody is in agreement the FE is just wrong.

I like how you used "this" rather than "the". It's with you right now isn't it? isn't it?

You only need to lube up if you are willing to let Nvidia **** you...
