Who is this And you speak of.
If you want 8gb then you are only talking about a £100 saving. Personally id rather spend the extra and have the one single gpu solution (assumkng xfire 480's and the 1080 are similar in performance, which is what AMD have explicitly shown )

Ah that's interesting, not sure why they've done that.
tri-fire sapphire toxic 370Xs would be cool to try out.
It will decimate new/used prices for 960/970 as well.
That is something else which the 480 AotS benchmark was weird about. $500 for xfire 480 but they list the FE price for the 1080 when you can actually get them for $600.
Obviously they did. It is just an exceptionally biased comparison. To be expected ofcourse.
Plenty of reasons - they are on beta drivers and need more tuning for Polaris - the game engine itself needs more tuning as devs are in direct control of mGPU - three - they are not going to drop all their ACES at once. I suspect they will be around 390X/980 performance when released and then get faster; towards nano speed after a little bit.
its going to be a hell of a card as 169-200 range....
they are competing with nvidia not AIBs
, and Nvidia said that their Founder Edition is the Nvidia card, with their very own solution blablabla, makes sense except 970/980 are EOL.......no more are being made....so you're not going to see those price cuts ever
You will when all the stock is sold off.
Is this ceasing of manufacturing official?
Nope - when card ends up EOL - you'll have a small decrease and then usually price hike as they become more rare to find. We've seen this many times in the past happen.
Lol. Every previous generation says otherwise.
Just as an example, a month after the 900 series release...

We also had 480's/580's for £200, 670's for £160. 680's for £220 etc.
those were push sells to get rid of stock - as not price cuts that they will sell normally;
You'll see 970 drop by 50 and 980 by 100......and the the slash sells to get rid of the very last of the stock - but your over all price drops no the cards don't drop in price like that.......we've seen cards actually rise in price after EOL - because they were still selling well.
how the discussion went was, me guessing that nvidia could drop 1070/1080 prices as soon as july, depanding on how far the 1060 is, and price gap between these cards.
D.P suggested that they wont cut price on 1070/1080 so soon, and that the solution is on the 1060, and 970/980 price cut, so i posted that to show that the price cut needed from 970 and 980 was too high to be part of the solution, even if production stopped they cant just cut price by that much, to fight off the RX 480, and the 1060 remains the only viable solution i can see.
although the 1060 performance and price need to be very carefully set by Nvidia, time frame of the release need to be july, the stock need to be high etc.
To be fair you can only blame Nvidia for that. The "reference" 1080 is $699.
Who is to say that the AIB boards wont be cheaper than $250 each for the AMD?
AMD have announced two msrp's like nvidia have they?
