On launch day the chances are the AIB partners are only going to have FE cards available which should be available for next day delivery from OcUK.

The problem with going to NVidia direct is it can be a bit slow like with the Pascal Titans which took several days to show up after launch day.

There is a good chance that holding out to order from OcUK is going to be a couple of days faster than going to NVidia.

I won't be ordering on launch day as I want to see what is available. I am also fortunate that I have a few old cards to keep me going.

I'm just worried that etailers will start price gouging the FE cards instead of sticking to Nvidia's pricing which on moral grounds would stop me from buying.

Yeah that would really pee you off. Is it likely i.e. happened before?

Price gouging on new items is the norm sadly and it's unnecessary, I know business' are not charities but price gouging is beyond greedy.

Gibbo has said that the FE cards will be priced the same at OCUK as nvidia have them.

OcUK will be selling at the price NVIDIA are! Not less, not more on FE cards!

I'm thinking of ditching SLI and going for a single card, But should i buy a 1080ti or wait for Volta?

Running 3440x1440 ultrawide now.

What they said and what they do are two different things. Proofs in the pudding

What would be the point of selling them higher. People would just buy elsewhere, like from NVIDIA direct.

orbitalwalsh · 6 Mar 2017 at 09:53

only thing that will through it off is the price of the Dollar, Nvidia can take Pre-orders of the at the price of the $$ when it went Live, OCUK can only do that when they first Buy stock. Also Nvidia can hold the pricing of the dollar to what ever they please really, OCUK run a Nation business and cant .

But I have confidence that it'll be the same price for a while

This is a thread for owners and prospective owners. I don't want to see any bickering.

This would only stand so long as the exhange rate didnt tank. If say, the exchange rate dropped by 10 to 20% before Friday, there is no way Gibbo could hold to Nvidia's price on the FE.

We say it with the 1080 FE and some manufacturers wanting £50 more for the FE version.

Merge the non owner stuff into the 1080ti general thread. This is 3 pages of drivel and no owners yet.

Hurm....Dammit. I can stomach 6xx for a card, not sure I want to go into the 7xx's, I'd be coming from a 970, decisions decisions lol

A 1080 Ti from a 970 would be a fantastic upgrade!! I'd be willing to bet with gpu bound games it'll be up to 3 x faster at least if overclocked

Nice.

Loving the look of that cooler, although once in my case, I only ever look at it again when I am cleaning, so once every 2 years ish
