Very well priced? Are you insane?

Just because SOME 980Ti's are currently priced at £550 doesn't alter the fact that the 1080FE is massively overpriced. The 980Ti is EOL and will soon have to have a price cut to shift stock, so the current pricing is a total irrelevance. The 1080 is replacing the 980Ti as the current high end GPU but at an additional ~£100.

Yes, the 1080Ti will come along in 6-12 months and replace the 1080, but usually the new high end would come in at the current high end price point and the prices of the lower tier cards adjust accordingly.

Very well priced. :D

Sorry i should have added i didn't take in to account of the FE. I was just basing it of the normal 1080. and i purchased a 980ti the other month and payed £635 upgrading from my old 780. I'll add if the standard card is -£600 it's reasonably priced for sure.

Just my take though :)
 
20% more expensive than 980Ti
+
20% 'better' performance than 980Ti

= Disappointing overall, and zero point considering a 1080 for current 980Ti owners.

Fair summary chaps?
 
just had a chat with a work colleague found out he sold is 980 ti reference 3 weeks ago for £460 and as just bought an gigabyte 980 ti g1 for £340 talk about a re buy fleabay bargain

I so love how you put the blame on AMD for this. LOL :p

Maybe you should also put some of that blame on yourselves for shelling out for them at the ridiculous prices they gouge. They have your ego by the ******** and they won't let go. Surely that is not AMDs fault.

If no-one bought one then they would drop the prices very quickly. Easy really, but hard to get anyone to do it, unfortunately. You reap what you sow, I'm afraid. :(

My last 3 cards have all been AMD, as is my current card, so in no way am I an Nvidia fan boy.

My point was that Nvidia are simply doing what any other company with such a dominant market share would do and charge a premium price. until AMD start competing at the top end, or the unlikely scenario of a 3rd graphics card maker entering the market and competing at the top end, then Nvidia will continue to charge premium prices, and yes, consumers are also to blame for paying the premium price.

Fairly accurate IMO. Overclock vs overclock the gap is smaller than 20%, although we are of course comparing a reference card to better 980 Ti cooling solutions.

It'll be interesting to see if there's much left to be squeezed by custom editions.

Add in some more for the gtx980ti gaming as it's not maxed.

Looks like my Ti (with my overclock) is on a par with a stock 1080. Quite chuffed with that, and will try to hold out for the big boys ;)

(will probably fail though!!)

Exactly what i'm doing with my 980ti, i thought before the benchmarks were released have a made a mistake considering the new cards are out in a few months but my 980ti seems to hold it's own against these benchmarks.
