£620 is very steep and a bit of a shocker but you can wait it out for the "non" founders card and get it for £100 cheaper and custom cooled with maybe better overclocking potential.

A badly worded and slightly ignorant statement about the graphics cards having 8GB of vRAM. It ignores that

a) We've already had GPU's with more than that.

and

b) Consoles use unified memory architecture, meaning only about 5GB of that GDDR5(or DDR3 in the XB1's case) is actually usable for graphics.

£50 less if we're lucky, but I reckon they'll be closer than that with all the custom cooling they will say makes the card so much more amazing! The gouging never ends.

That upgrade will cost me 120 quid...

Nothing for new shiny.:p

I'll be getting a 1080 non founders edition card from EVGA

I'm sure we'll have the more 'budget' 3rd party brands hitting close to the bottom level prices, as usual. Always gotta add at least a small premium to the MSRP for the bigger brand cards.

Fury X was AMD's top card though, the cherry on top of their range. The 1080 is the initial high end part before the 1080Ti, realistically the 1080 should be at the £450-£500 mark. Then the Ti at the £500-£650 mark.

this is what scares me

yes the 1080 should be around that mark £450 £500....not £600+

so the 1070 may be going to fit there £400+

then will have the 1080ti @ £750+ and titan @£1000+

so what nvidia is doing is increasing a lot more than the last gen 980 970 ect

And thanks again for the verdict, tnk I'll be doing the same, oh well got excited at first when I saw them stock results, but it's going to throttle right down around 2000mhz and won't do anymore therefore only 10% over my card isn't really worth the swap I'd get for my TX and cooler at this point, when will we be seeing the 1080ti people?

As you have a hybrid titan X at 1500mhz, its barely worth it, unless you can ebay your titan X and it works out not much. Low TDP is nice, especially as it is summer now... Not ideal having a 500w radiator in the room when it is 25c outside!!

thats why on conference he kept using word ' faster than Titan X' with both 1080 and 1070 so people will think this is bargain.
