*Rumour* 1070 Ti (Videocardz.com)

I hope it's less than that. We have loads of options around the £400 range with this kind of performance.

I hope so also. But with the current market, I won't hold my breath.

We will not be getting an improvement on price for performance until Volta arrives in my opinion. This will be more the same. Slightly less performance than a 1080 for slightly less money's. They are just failed 1080 GPU's they are getting rid of before Volta arrives.

It looks like AMD will have a re spin and shrunk Vega out possibly in February. Hopefully will bring some prices drops as I think buy then the graphics card market will be pretty much saturated by then.

I wonder if they will be able to keep prices below £400 here :)

Unlikely but zero coming out off NVIDIA, as far as they are concerned it does not exist, for all we know this part does not exist and is a rumour, though my better judgement says otherwise (that is a complete guess).

The price unlikely, unless they do something similar to AMD did on VEGA 56 where they launch at a low price, say £399 for a quantity of stock or time period for a cheap blower style card, at which point the price will increase as there won't be any price drop on 1070 or 1060 simply as they are always typically sold out and the consistent memory price increases is pretty much nullifying any price drops now.

So as with the last few product launches, buy at launch, because days/weeks later the product will cost more.

If you visit NVIDIA UK:
https://www.nvidia.co.uk/buy/graphics-cards/

You can see current official price is £379 for a 1070 blower, OcUK has a few 1070's from £379 also from Asus and Zotac. The rumour I am hearing is this shall increase to £399 due to Samsung rising the price again and then stating memory prices will now continue to rise throughout 2017 and potentially first several months of 2018 also. As such if the rumoured (not confirmed) 1070Ti did launch at £399 it would be a bargain but it would for sure quickly increase in price no doubt to around £450 for very basic models, also again £399 like all NVIDIA launches before would be for the very basic blower style cards, anything like an Asus Strix you can bet would be over £500.

Also note how NVIDIA have zero stock on 1080 and 1080Ti, our stock is healthy as we received advance warning there would be a shortage on 1080 and 1080Ti until November/December so we should be good to see us through, but demand remains very strong from all our customer bases. :)

I hope so - the £150-£200 market needs a shake up, as it's fairly dire atm:
On AMD's side £130 gets you a RX560 4GB, but you can't get anything better without spending £250 for a RX570
The NV side is slightly better, with £150 getting you a 1050Ti, and the 1060 3GB at £210 (but even at 1080P can't help but feel that 3GB is not really enough)

It's disappointing that even 5+ years on that cards such as the 7870 or 7950 (that can be picked up for £40-£50 these days) are still competitive with cards in this price bracket

Oh boy. Thanks for reply Gibbo.

Finding it hard to swallow these prices knowing Volta is not that far away personally. I would maybe go for a 1080Ti that is not a blower for under £600 or maybe say a top model like an Aorus Xtreme for under £700, but it does not look to be happening. At worst I figure Volta will be here by the summer.

Don't look at RAM prices then, just placed a fresh Corsair order, some prices have riven by 40% :(

If your budget is £150-£200 for a GPU, you may as well buy a console.

You just can't get a better-than-console experience these days unless you're buying a £500 GPU, a £300 CPU, £200 RAM, £200 mobo...

Most of us have given up. PC is dead for anyone on a budget.
