NVIDIA to Unveil GeForce GTX TITAN P at Gamescom

1080ti for £1000? Stay off the drugs please. You honestly think nvidia want to shrink their UK market that much?

What they going to do? Subsidise it by £200 just cause we are having Economic flid? Then everybody in Europe will just buy from the uk and have it shipped out to save £200 over what they are having to pay.

I don't see them subsidising the 1070 and 1080 by the £100 they have gone up.

Nvidia sets the price in dollars, they don't set the Uk price in pounds.

And just how big is the uk high end market? Worldwide sales of their top end gaming cards is only a percent or two of all the cards they sell. So how much of that is the uk?

I had a Titan X before and learned my lesson when the "Ti" came out, Never again will I buy a Titan card as I got better performance due to higher clocks on the "Ti" with vastly improved acoustics and way lower temps.

I expect it to be the same this time around.

I'd say 12 months is pretty good for graphics card. The 980Ti still holds it own and probably will continue to do so until the 1080Ti is released. I'd happily buy a 1080Ti if it is likely to give the same length of service.

Well high end Ti owners get 50% or whatever the percentage is, more performance over the standard 1080 almost mid gen (if you want to call it that) so cost wise it's not really that much different anyway. It just means we get the best performance possible only earlier, like if the 1080Ti is going to equal the next 1170 or whatever.

980Ti to 1070 = pretty much almost pointless, 1080 is better but not massively so.. so of course it makes sense to wait for the Ti, as for Titan P the clue is in the name, means Nv will be taking the mick with pricing :p but what else is new.

So 980 to 1080 is a 30% increase so 980ti to 1080ti will be $845. Then factor in vat, shipping and magic uk additional amount and the fact that exchange rate will be $1.20 to the pound and you get to a £1000.

Hell already there are 1080gtx approaching £800. Can't see a 1080ti been cheaper

Your maths is delusional IMO compared to the reality of NVIDIA pricing. Even with our terrible exchange rate now plus the added gouge/shipping, NVIDIA have never had a high end card come out with a price that ridiculous in the UK, the Titan X that they take the royal wee with was released at less than $999 = £999? Of course, so a $845 1080Ti gets you to £1000? come on, even right now on OcUK it's still $699 Reference 1080 to £619.99, which is still crap but what you're suggesting is ludicrous:

Palit GeForce GTX 1080 Jetstream 8192MB GDDR5X PCI-Express Graphics Card £589.99 10+ In Stock

Palit GeForce GTX 1080 "Founders Edition" 8192MB GDDR5X PCI-Express Graphics Card £599.99 10+ In Stock

Palit GeForce GTX 1080 GameRock 8192MB GDDR5X PCI-Express Graphics Card £608.99 10+ In Stock

Zotac GeForce GTX 1080 "Founders Edition" 8192MB GDDR5X PCI-Express Graphics Card £619.99 10+ In Stock

So even with the ridiculous shortage with 1080 aftermarket cards which is pushing up the price on those high demand SKU's (Strix, Gigabyte Xtreme, Gaming X) there are still cards that have not budged a huge lot in price compared to release.

Typical of you to reference the £750 cards that are hardly in stock - which raises demand/gouging to try and prove your point. By the time the Titan P comes out in over 2 months the 1080 rush for stock would have settled so there will eventually be available stock of Strix, Gaming X etc, which is when they will start to come down closer to launch prices.

Everyone should just wake up and realise that the Kf2 Reference 1080Ti at £689.99 on day one makes those with 1080 weep, Palit Jetstream 1080Ti at £689.99 etc. These are the cards/prices which will make the 1080 used price crash when the 1080Ti comes out, not the Strix with no stock available for 4 months at £800 because of stupid demand and trickle supply.

Listen, I get it and fully understand it would be ideal for you having brought a 1080, for the 1080Ti to come out at a halo price that the Titan has historically occupied. This will protect the value of your 1080. I can understand that you probably want the 1080Ti to be £1000.

Having owned a 980Ti, I realise it's inevitable NVIDIA will release a faster card at a similar price and screw my 980ti used value. The reality is unfortunately NVIDIA don't care about our used prices as it doesn't benefit them. Did they care when they released the 780Ti at $50 more than a 780? No. 980Ti released at $100 more than a 980? Nope. 1080 $50 more than a 980Ti on release... They knock the standing High end card off of it's $550-$700 perch and the money train continues.

You can wish the 1080Ti to be £1000 all you want, but unfortunately NVIDIAs pricing history fails you.

GTX Titan Z........;)

as per NVIDIA’s initial announcement the GTX Titan Z is retailing at $2999 (ed: or about £2350 in the UK),

Things just got out of control and I knew it was gonna turn nasty from then on when Nvidia launched the Titan and created a new (stupid) price bracket. They really are milking it, selling the 1080, essentially a mid-ranged chip, albeit the fastest atm for ludicrous prices (yes, GP104 is mid-ranged. GP100, big Pascal is the fully uncut high end chip).

Now we have this "Founders Edition" rubbish which really should have been labelled reference cards and the most inexpensive yet they are placed alongside most aftermarket coolers and the "real" reference cards are now the plainer blower types. Really now?

Can they pull off a triple retarded move and introduce another scheme to generate more money with unjustified greed next generation?

Not interested in bringing dual GPU cards into this, talking about single high end GPUsreleased in the $550-$700 price range. For example 980, 980ti, 1080, 1080Ti. This is a popular category for NVIDIA, you'll find the halo Titan Z sells a hell of a lot less than these cards.

It'll price me out of it, but even at £1000 there will be plenty of people willing to throw their wallets at it. People certainly did for the Titan.

Agreed. People in the uk are buying 1080s at £800 to £900. The MSI had at elast 30 in stock and all sold.

SO when Nvidia brings the 1080ti, why should they do it cheaper than the 1080?

People will still buy it esp if, as rumored, its 50% faster than a 1080.

I don't agree with you and I don't see the price being higher than 800.

My 1080 was 619. Once the stock is not an issue anymore, prices will come down naturally to around 580 - 620 giving it plenty of room for a Ti to come in at 800 or less. So how about we wait and see for a change, instead of trying to hype things up again, like it happened with the 480 launch?

The flounders are only at £619 cause they are bought and paid for stock before the exchange rate plummeted.

They all should £680-£690 by now.

Best short term guess for the exchange rate is $1.20 so thats another 10% increase on top of the 10% we have had already. So that would make a flunders edition around £760.

If you think Nvidia will then release a 1080ti at £689, then its you that are delusional.

And as you have just stated, they can make enough 1080s even that they are £700+ so people will buy.

And I got my 1080 for £525 so even if the 1080ti comes out for £689 then I'll be fine :)

Yes focus on the £750 Strix with no stock for months and ignore in stock 1080s sub £600, really suits your point.
