I find it hard to believe such an expensive card would sell so many, especially when it seems a poor upgrade from a 980ti or titan. I may be a cynic but I find this to be a padding exercise by nvidia.

Attempt at justification of price increase for this and future models?

100% Its what Nvidia is Excellent at!

It's NO BS by Nvidia I see our orders I speak to board partners and distributors and orders are huge and insane. The sales are very real which is superb because no one expected to outsell Maxwell like this but it's happening!

Well he's not wrong - it's a poor upgrade for the price for those with a 980Ti or Titan X - but I think he's underestimating the number of people who don't have a 980Ti and were waiting for a big upgrade.

No offense but it's in your best interest as a partner to say it's doing excellently, publicly.

Nvidia marketing is first class, everyone and their gran wants a 1080. But it's more than just that, it has the performance to get gamers throwing their cash at Nvidia.

I hope that one day AMD can be in the same position to drive down pricing.

Not talking about other places or shops. Ocuk sold 100k vs this fourm. The numbers don't add up at all.
This fourm is one of the most popular UK hardware forums, ocuk is one the most popular hardware retailer.

And yet 100k sold vs what is being posted doesn't add up. That list should easy be in the hundreds.
Greg enough of the insults thank you.

Not everyone posts in owners threads.

When you are told a figure by someone like gibbo what they have done and u choose not to believe it.
Who would you believe explaining what OCUK has/hasnt sold? :confused:

There isnt a better person to tell you these figures

Am sorry but I just don't believe what salesperson say. Never have and never will.

Edit
Last time I repeating this.
I know not all the sales would post in that thread!!! I know that 100k will not POST! But you expect more than 60 post from that 100k! The thread should be into the hundreds easy...

Those posts were on the 18th and 19th June - on the 20th June:

Just what is your beef? Gibbo has said that he has a 1000 480s in stock and he expects to sell at least 500 on the first day.

It took 3 weeks for ocuk to sell (as in dispatch) a 1000 1080s.

If 480s dont outsell 1080s in the first day it will be by day two.

You seem to follow me everywhere and quote every post i make and spout rubbish based on your fanboyism even when the facts are posted you dont back down.

Gibbo SOLD a 1000 1080s in 3 weeks ignoring preorders. Yet you seem to think that backs up 10,000s of been sold in that period.

Give it a rest and drop it Jono before i have to RTM for constant harressment.

If the answer is no one then its simply burying your head in the sand sadly and you dont wish to know. :rolleyes:

It would but I'd not come on here and lie, I've got honour and I have no reason to big it up, everything is sold out.

But hey you believe what you want and when nvidia post their financials in a year time you will see there was no BS.

I go with my own judgement, and the reason I debating my case.

1080 on course for the most profitable GPU ever.

I should think so too since price gouging is up to 20% on the card

Not often you get away with putting a 20% extra profit on something and you still can't make enough

I'm a sales guy yes, I'm also a tech guy and I'm also a member.

Also I am not you regular sales guy I often advise against upgrades or even recommend lesser product, I just tell it how it is and sometimes it gets me in trouble with manufacturers but I put customer first.

Triss, it is like arguing the Sea is wet with him. He has called Gibbo a liar and will not believe him, so don't waste your time bud.

Makes me laugh, I love these forums and our members but our customer base is far far bigger and most of them are not members of this forum and those who are are not interested in posting.

Yer, not everyone wants to participate and I frequent other forums without posting, so using a ROH thread as a basis of ownership is daft. Pay no heed and I like the way you are straight up and no BS.

So you use your own judgment on what ocuk actually sells?
Sorry thats laughable. you have no idea what they do or dont sell just like the rest of us that arent privy to the information.

Nvm i can see its pointless and he doesnt wish to know the truth
