I feel that it won't be overlooked, therefore 1070 will cost at least £349, 1080 - £499 or £549. Then in 2017 GTX1080 Ti will cost - £749, and the new Titan - £1299, hence HBM 2.

Turns out that it all is coming true. http://www.gamersnexus.net/news-pc/...080-founders-edition-and-reference#!/ccomment
There will be only one reference GPU version of each and 1080 will cost about £550. Ti will definitely be more expensive that £700. HBM 2 alone will cost a cow for us so I think that even £850 ($999) for Ti is a possible price tag as the Titan X costs that much now. Of course not many people will pay that much (only enthusiasts I guess) , therefore their next gen cards 1170 and 1180 will give the performance of 1080 Ti for half the price.

Welcome.

Bit odd that the reference style card on launch could very well be more expensive than 3rd party versions though./

Yer, NVidia are taking the opportunity to make some easy money but then again, 7 billion on R&D means they have to recoup it somehow and inject it into the next big thing.

Except the 1070 is going to come in closer to £300 and the 1080 £480-500 for the 'budget' 3rd party cards.
 
As I now understand it then, the first, and only 1080 to buy at launch will be the 'founders' edition, which is just the new name for the reference model, at a $100 bloat over the normal mrsp. That will cost at least £600 in the UK.

Ah well, as a 980TI SLI owner (bought for v good prices) this is making it even easier for me to not be bothered at all about the new cards.

My hearing isn't what it used to be :D

Yeah. Sometimes I wonder if good old gregster knows what's what, or he is just wearing green tinted sunglasses :p

First he says GDDR5X is almost as fast as HBM, now he is saying nvidia spent seven billion in r&d on pascal. Lol :D

hey, I am an old man who gets things wrong now and then but at least I hold my hands up. I am not a guru and quite happy to admit when I am wrong :p

Haha. Well I can respect that. So many here would just continue on arguing even though they are wrong.
 
They are releasing the founders edition at the higher MSRP, then they are saying that the MSRP for the custom cards is $100 lower than the "founders / reference" edition..... but the brands decide how much the custom cards are, so the custom (better cooling than reference and higher clocks) cards will be quite possibly the same as the founders edition anyway, they will probably release some lower and higher cards like for example the palit jetstream vs MSI lightning, but usually the reference is the lowest not the highest, odd move I wonder why they did that!

I thought from the start the new cooler design was standard, and the Founders Edition was just that, but like the "Ti" cards we have today.

If the custom cards are cheaper.. count me in.

In the games built in benchmark, the R9 Fury X is able to achieve a score of 4300 points with an average framerate of 44.4 FPS, with the Nvidia GTX 1080 achieving a higher score of 4900 and an average framerate of 49.6.

In Ashes of the Singularity, the Nvidia GTX 1080 has framerates that are around 10-12% higher than AMD's R9 Fury X. These scores were provided by the same gamer on the same system, so this comparison should be fairly accurate.

That's.... underwhelming? 12% over a Fury X, synthethic benches ain't everything it seems. Any game benchmarks of stuff like Witcher 3 or GTA5?
