such a shame

Everybody knows that whatever AMD do bring out. It'll based on price to performance. If it's a gtx1080 capable card in terms of performance it'll priced like a GTX1080. AMD will take the current price trend and match it. You know it's true.

Yup, they've already upped their prices of their enthusiast cards, they went Premium with their FuryXs.

And nvidia would respond by just lowering their prices which would make those new AMD cards a very hard sell so not sure what that would accomplish. Think the high-end vega is going to compete with the GTX 1080 Ti, which means it's going to be priced along those lines. :confused:

It would achieve lower prices, especially if AMD respond with their price drops... Good for us! This is why we need competition in the market.
 
:D good one needed a chuckle

£278 isn't bad for the performance you get from a Fury really. Its not comparable to the 1070, but its £110 less expensive, and the difference is even bigger if you compare 'like for like' models with good coolers.
 
Really, you pick a card that Amazon have put under review due to orders being wrong/dodgy. Why not find us a card that sold for $379 at launch in the US?

First card I entered in camelcamelcamel so not my fault. I dont follow cards all the time like you :p

And there will be leaf blowers which sold for $379 but you obviously need to pay more for better cards.

But there is the Galax for $399

And its not the leaf blower one either ;)

Oh and look, the second card I googled is the MSI Gaming Armour which is $379.

https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GTX-1070-ARMOR-8G/dp/B01GXOX2BU

I spent 30 seconds. Suspect I could find you 10 cards which are all $379 so I fail to see your point apart from you obviously have something against Nvidia or you dont have enough money.

And not going to link but the EVGA SC 1070 is under £400 at many places in the UK so thats a great card and is under £400 and much less than the founders cards

So what does the OP have to say in this thread?

Or is this the usual excuse for an AMD v NVidia handbag fight thread?

You're really struggling today it seems!

My first post started with prices in the US, in dollars, and you comment that I am only looking at Sterling prices. :confused:

My main point is that launch prices were not in line with the $379 price that was announced, I demonstrated that cards were over $400 at launch and challenged you to prove otherwise by finding a card that was $379 at launch, and instead you find two cards that are listed at $399 today, now that prices have dropped (I even gave you the MSI Gaming Armor prices in my post above - it is listed at $399 :eek:, the rebate is irrelevant to this discussion).

And this is after you try to convince us that the Strix OC was £300 by highlighting a bogus price.

You can try to defend the launch prices of the GTX 1070 all you want, but you are not showing anything to support that cards were available at launch, and all through the summer, at the price of $379 that nvidia announced. :o

The 1070 and 1080 have been selling at inflated prices because there is no competition... simple as that. Manufacturers and retailers are selling at the prices they can get away with and, it appears, enough people are willing to pay.

I have never owned an AMD card, and have had nvidia cards exclusively since voodoo 3dfx, but yeah, I do have something against nvidia right now... they are currently increasing prices at the expense of consumers because there is no competition to keep them in check... we should all have an issue with that! nvidia have big profit margins on their Pascal products, resulting in a huge increase in profits over the last quarter.

Your last comment that I don't have the money is just a desperate attempt to troll... I bought a 1070 last week, which I've said above. I have enough money to buy a Titan X without even a noticeable dent in my bank balance, but I choose not to because I value a better performance/cost ratio. :cool:

You are too picky. I don't have the time or energy to find how many cards were sold at $379. I suspect supply and demand kept the price slightly higher.

Clearly there is a good choice around at a mere $20 more so hardly massive increase.

And sorry about the can't afford it comment, I thought you were the OP who clearly hasn't bought a card.

LOL :p Someone take his spade away before he buries himself. :rolleyes:

Was just thinking that, he dropped his op and ran :)

ooooohhhh bad op. :D

Its not that bad. Ok I accept there is a $20 premium but its not the end of the world. The fact that they cost 25% more due to the exchange rate is the kicker
 
Is that £367 with paying the import fees? If so that's an amazing price

While we currently don't pay extra for EU imports, you forgot the non-sterling transaction fees (at least I had to pay that when I ordered something from France last year)... which is usually just a couple of bob anyway :D

Yes. £278 for a 4GB GPU is silly.

I must be a fool for paying a couple quid more for a 3.5GB GPU on the day of the 390 launch then lol (obviously time has a lot to do with it, £300 for 4GB at the end of 2016 does seem a bit iffy)...

In all honestly, I don't feel that the whole exchange rate has affected GPU prices (with regards to Nvidia at least) quite as much. It seems to me that the prices now are somewhat similar to launch prices, but that could be just the prices coming down over time like we'd expect them to.

And even when one takes into account launch prices and 6 months down the line, 6 months after the 970s release it was possible (but uncommon) to find one for £250 and the popular aftermarket ones around £300. The 1070 is somewhat similar... except everything is £100 up and there's still no card at £350 yet (cheapest I've seen is an ITX version for a tenner more). Even then, the Asus Strix and MSI Gaming cards are a bit more than the expected £400, but that's only cos those companies have turned into stingy buggers this gen and upped their AIB prices from once being among the best value.

I remember back in September, I almost had bought a GTX 980ti for around £350 (incidentally it was MSI Gaming) while the same version of a 1070 was close to £100 more still (maybe £20 less elsewhere, but this was OCUK)... back then, the 980ti was the go to at £300 to £400 IMO. If one ignores the BS folks say about previous gen Nvidia cards getting gimped and not performing quite as well (I remember that the 1070 was just about par on the stock benchmarks, but OCed vs OCed the 980ti won).

Thus I'd recommend OP to go back in time to September and grab a 980ti, just beware that OCUK listed them as stocked when in actual fact they had none left (hence why I'm still on a 970).
