Can't, got to wait till next Friday.

The prices are fine to me, as the FuryXs were £650, and these absolutely smash em, and have double the vram.

So where are the standard editions? They said that they would be available from the 27th as well, that it was all a misunderstanding and that both reference and normal editions would be available at the same time.
 
Im laughing so hard right now. Im so glad i made the choice to skip mid tier pascal cause this milking is extreme even for early adopters tax. But must **** to be the guys who sold their 980ti for pennies only to find out that they could have bought 2 more 2nd hand and still have a few pounds left compared to a brand new 1080.
 
I love that by undervolting my reference 290x overclocks well and runs quietly enough but got absolutely, utterly destroyed by everyone, but Nvidia offering it's own card that doesn't sustain decent overclocks without a very loud fan noise and they are tripping over themselves to preorder at £650 when they have literally been told they are paying the early adopters tax for a no where near great reference card.

Custom 1080s will be very good cards, albeit way way too expensive currently, but massively overpaying for a meh reference card, why? I also got a 290 for a great deal and I bought it at the time not least because mining litecoin basically paid for themselves. I wouldn't have paid just under £300 for a reference version had it not been for the existing payback from mining.

The Founder Edition IS the reference edition.

It's just a lot more expensive than it used to be.

The rational is that Nvidia don;t undercut their partners, who can come in with custom cards at a lower price (£550 etc)

The truth is that they will price them the same or higher, and we will be paying £650 for a Gigabyte G1 1080

Hope i'm totally wrong lol
 
If the AIB cards aren't at least ~£90 cheaper than these milking editions, I'll be saying hello to a used 980Ti instead.. It'll save me £300 for something else so I won't be mad :)

By your logic the 1080 should be priced higher than a TitanX since it smashes that too.
The FuryX/980ti were marketed and sold as top end cards whereas the 1080 is a 980 segement replacement.

While were at it, the 1070 is expected to smash the 980ti and FuryX so I guess you'll be happy to pay £600+ for that too?
