The founders is $699 or about £600. My guess is the $599 will be the minimum set point for vendors. I'm guessing they will be slightly cheaper than the founders. Possibly slightly more expensive for the top cards.

Maybe overclockers will send me a big pack of 980Ti's when I buy two 1080s then :p.

I'll have several tabs open with the different sites I use to buy parts. F5 Bashing time...Problem is (if preorders start tomorrow) I'll be at work at 9am which is when I imagine you can preorder with no signal on my phone :( Might have to take an early break. Taking my tablet to work to hopefully make it easier.

The hype has well and truly gripped me now, I'm such a weakling. Hoping I can snag 2.
I can't take gaming on a paltry midrange GPU placeholder card anymore (980 ;)

I'm waiting for EVGA Custom GTX1080.

im wondering if its just best to Keep buying the "mid" ranged card from a pure perf/time/cost perspective

what i mean is buy

780 on release, cheaper than a Ti generally, skip ti
buy
980 on release cheaper than Ti generally skip Ti
buy
1080 on release cheaper than Ti generally skip Ti

i wonder if that actaully works out cheaper & better perf over time?

you get new tech quicker, cheaper unless of course you start at Ti.

It's probably a good idea to do this, but one step down. i.e.

Buy 770 - slightly faster than 680 for nearly half the price

Buy 970 - slightly faster than 780 Ti for under half the price

Buy 1070 - slightly faster than 980 Ti for nearly half the price


Say you budgeted about £1000 over 3 generations, doing this you'd end up with a 1070 (starting from the 7xx series), but you'd run out of money at the 980 under your example. And the 970 isn't that much slower than the 980, so I think this way works out better in the long run.
 
3Ghz?! I thought 2Ghz was impressive, but bloody hell. Will be impressive to see what overclockers are able to achieve, especially under water.

Also depending on price ( as always..) I may get a Hybrid. still the fear of a leak threatens!

770 released at the same price as the 670($400) - just $100 cheaper than the 680.

I think the thing to think about is just "How aggressively priced is a certain card?" In other words, does it have a lot of room for a price drop with what is expected over the next year or so? The 970 was a great deal from Day 1 and held its value basically its entire lifecycle as a result. There just wasn't room for a price drop and there was nothing for Nvidia to replace it with til this year.

From what I'm seeing, neither the 1070 nor 1080 look to be 'aggressively priced'. The 1070 is still cheaper than the 670 or 770 was, but not by much. And both those cards could be found much cheaper a year later.

If you really want the best value, I think it'll be worth waiting this time.

It's also possible AMD bring out a smaller Vega card next year that competes with the GP104, motivating a price cut even more.
 
Fans or aio this time round - 1080 EVGA? Never tried one before. Warranty is good, but the pump issues you sometimes hear of from all manufacturers put me off. Not even sure my 200r is wide enough on the side. Would easily reach the base though.

I wish they'd just hurry up and get on with it. I mean, I found out about this new range of cards only last week and they are not out yet. Slowcoaches.

But seriously, do we know the approximate release dates for the various models (sorry I haven't read 17 pages of thread if the answer is in there somewhere)?

I'm more interested in the mobile chips and when they will be coming, and not the top range 1080m but the mid range 1060m to replace the so commonly used 960m in almost every £800 laptop.

I'm surprised they run the product releases staggered to be honest, as all it will do is kill sales while people wait for the new tech.
 
So does anyone know if there will be anything online today? For example reviews from Uk sites going online at 12am?

Or is it US time so nothing will be online until tomorrow?

Anyone remember what happened with other launches?

Is the "17th NDA" going to be US time? Technically it will be the 17th in 5 hours here, but the US is 7 hours behind.

Not always. People wanting a 980Ti for SLI etc will pay for them. At that point the pricing of the 1080/70 doesn't matter. This will go on for a month or two after launch.

1070 launching at £375 don't forget. At equal performance, possibly less in areas won't drive the Ti down to £200.

780Ti's are STILL going for £150-200 on eBay.

Who said £200?

I, unlike most on here, am basing my thoughts and predictions on past history and the actual RRP of things.

The 900 series UK prices started at pretty much bang on the exchange rate at the time + 20% VAT (based on the US dollar MSRP)

With the exchange rate now + VAT, the non founders 1080 will be ~£500 and the non founders 1070 will be ~£315.

In terms of 980Ti prices, 780Ti's dropped to £300 very soon brand new after the 900 series came out and the 900 series didn't even bring that much more performance over the 780Ti (unlike the 1000 series which looks like it might give a decent jump).

Sure there will be some gouging going on for the 1000 series at some retailers for the first week or two but I'm not taking that into account as if you are savvy you will avoid this.
