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

There's a Canadian retailer that's got it's price up for the EVGA FTW, when converted it works out as roughly £490 shipped!

Their FE cards are also much cheaper as well. Obviously VAT increases that price for us but hopefully it's an indicator the custom cards will be sub £600.

hang on, so the FTW is more than the FE, but you expect the price to be less than the FE here?

Who says its more?

In theory the AIB start base line is $599. FTW versions are normally $70-$80 more than the reference cards.

Totally feasible that a FTW and all the other cards will come in at less than FE editions.

Confused... some say its release day other pre order day? Will the FE cards ship today?

its launch day today, founders edition cards will be in stock but we don't know yet what the status of aftermarket cards is, or how quickly the stock will go

so depending on your point of view, today is the day orders go live, and some of them may ship today, but there's also a good chance that a lot of people will be placing pre-orders for cards that haven't come in yet

The 980 was around £530 on release. The 980Ti was around £580 (for the EVGA SC at least) so I think marking it up by £200 in your estimate is a bit much.

980 was ~£420 on release. I bought one.
980Ti was ~£500 on release (or very soon after). I bought one.

1080 is £620 and the clue is in the name, it's a replacement for GTX980 and as such is £200 more expensive. Technically it's a hegh-end GPU because of performance, but a mid range card technically.

Will see later today what the cheaper ET* editions are going to cost, but the reference designs are significantly more expensive than when 980 was released. Yest there were a lot of people who actually believed Nvidia would release 1080 at 980 prices.

* ET Edition = Extreme Throttling".

Look at EVGA 980 Ti cards atm

Reference £499
SC £489
FTW 509
SC+ 529
Classified £559
Kingpin £629

Now if there had been a founders edition of the 980ti it would have being £569.

That in theory would mean that everything up to and including the Classified would be cheaper than the FE!!!!!!!!!

So yes I can see FTW to be under £600.

1080 is £540 not £619 so £120 more expensive than the 980.

I'm talking about the EVGA SC with my prices. I disclosed that in the post.

Plus he was stating the FTW version will be £200 more than the normal AIB versions, which I think is overestimating a bit.

Will the non reference cards be listed before 2pm or exactly at 2pm?

Not for sale just show so we know what's coming rather than a last minute scramble

Nope, my post was a bit unclear though.

The FTW is $10 more than the FE and the SC is cheaper than the FE by about $30.

So what I'm saying (and hoping!) is that the custom cards hopefully will range between £550 to £650 and not get into silly figures like £700+
