GTX1080 reviews out!
  5 / 12    
UK prices just announced: http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/new-product/pc-components/nvidia-pascal-uk-release-date-price-specs-gtx-1070-1080-3634003/ £619 for the GTX1080 Founder's Edition, about $900 US. So I'm guessing here in Australia we'll be expected to pay a Titanic price. Might have to wait until Pascal Gen.2, hopefully AMD will have caught up a little and Nvidia can no longer cash in on the hype.

What a fucking joke the UK prices are. $699 = £650 ?? Even with VAT added on it doesn't tally up. Greedy pigs! It's 980ti priced for a non TI card! All the people talking about performance per pound or dollar have been brainwashed by the hype! Cards always get faster, the price doesn't go up to reflect the performance increase! WTF?? If that's the case the 1080TI will be what £1500??? It's NVidia testing the market to see what they'll pay. Charge more for the founders reference cards and if they sell I bet the OC'd ones won't be much cheaper, if they don't sell the OC'd ones will be substantially cheaper. It's dirty is what it is! I love the way they call it 'the founders edition' when its just a reference card with not enough power connectors on it to make it a decent over-clocker. The smart people will wait for the OC;d cards with more power connectors on it. Send a message to Nvidia and don't buy these crippled 'founders edition' versions. Can't be bothered waiting an extra month every year for the decent cards whilst Nvidia milk the founders edition. Sens a message and send it now! They are just testing the waters after the fail of the overpriced Titan Z! Let's show they the water is cold so they cut out these greedy tatics. They've joined the 5 billion club, lie to us about tech that never appears (multi res shading and auto stereo) and think that we'll just forget about it and lap it up! Screw you Nvidia you greedy grinding bastards!

Just had a look at the GTX1070 specs. "More powerful than Titan X" my arse. It's still not a bad value proposition for someone upgrading from a 970, depending on how overblown the international prices are. If it sells for around $600AUS and they haven't ruined 3D Vision support, I'll probably pick one up. I doubt that will be the case though, I'm expecting a retail price of around $700-750AUS for 1070 and $1100-1200 for 1080. I'm pretty disappointed now. I just hope the price of a 980Ti drops a bit.

Seriously though I am not a fan of stickers/labels, my PNY XLR8 GTX 670 has this hideous looking label on it instead of taking the time to print it directly on it or better yet raise the plastic lettering and print it.

Well if your country has a Nvidia Store, you should be able to buy it direct from Nvidia for MSRP. http://store.nvidia.com/sstore?Action=DisplayGlobalSelectPage&SiteID=nvidia The NewEgg page still doesn't show anything. http://promotions.newegg.com/vga/16-3286/index.html?cm_sp=Homepage-Top2016-_-P5_vga%2F16-3286-_-http%3A%2F%2Fpromotions.newegg.com%2Fvga%2F16-3286%2F1920x360.jpg&icid=358243 http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&N=8000&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=PPSSVYJXPPLKEI Amazon had pre-orders available for $699. They sold out in minutes. No idea why a person would want a Founder's Edition so bad. Probably e-bay sellers hoping that there will be a shortage, so that they can rape people. https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/4ka5n2/preorders_of_1080_on_amazon_evga_and_msi_are_out/ https://www.nowinstock.net/computers/videocards/nvidia/gtx1080/

Founder editions... Founders OF WHAT EXACTLY?!?! This is just a PR/Marketing GIMMICK! It;s a STOCK CARD! Just look at ALL the previous Geforce and GTX cards... First came STOCK cards. Later came "partners" with their boards. In 75%+ of the cases the "custom cards" were better than the STOCK one. The Founder edition was made just to fuel the "Pascal flame" (hype) even further. I agree the GPU is awesome...but... IS JUST ANOTHER GPU! When 900 came it beat the 700. When 700 came it beat the 600 and so on. The Pascal beats the 900 (big surprise...). I still don't like the "Founder Edition" tag... I wonder if it has at least something special to it... (like a signature or something, except the "MADE IN CHINA" sticker...)

Founders is just a way to gouge early adopters AND drives the price up of all other cards. MSRP is $600. We won't be seing a $600 version for a long time I have a feeling. Something tells me that even that one I posted won't be $600.

There is no way to make me buy a Founders Edition version. More expensive, throttling problems, high temperatures... Its point is just the release date. Nothing else. Reference models just make no sense (other than using them for water blocks, I've heard).

Graphics cards aren't collectables :D It's not like a Founder's Edition will increase in value if you keep it in the safe :D With computer parts nowadays the only thing that matters is price to performance ratio.

Reference models just make no sense (other than using them for water blocks, I've heard).[/quote] Exactly! My 2x780Ti were reference cards. Both were watercooled, because one was running at 75 degrees Celsius the other was reaching 90 on STOCK coolers (the shiny aluminium reference cooler). So after I bought them, 30 minutes later I removed them and ordered waterblocks. After, (when blocks arrived and installed them) I overclocked them to the max (around 25% + overvoltage). Maximum temperature on both cards was 72 degrees afterwards after 8 hours of continuously gaming. That is stock for you. The 2x980Ti are the Asus Strix OC that came with the Asus cooler. They run cool at around 65-80 which is OK for air cooling. Problem was the NOISE!!!!! It was driving me insane. So, again waterblocks + overclock. Max temperature is now 65 degrees Celsius (lol) and SILENCE...oh I love the silence;)) The waterblocks were around 80£/100 Euro on top of the card, but they are worth every penny/cent! (If you have the other hardware for watercooling) and I always recommend it for cooling, noise, overclocking performance. If only the Founder Editions came with waterblocks for the extra $$$ they are asking... Then it would be a good bargain;) [quote="ummester"]Graphics cards aren't collectables :D It's not like a Founder's Edition will increase in value if you keep it in the safe :D With computer parts nowadays the only thing that matters is price to performance ratio.[/quote] Yupp... "Founder's Edition" will be worth way less in 2 years time and you will see them on E-bay as second hand. I don't think someone will pay extra then, just because is advertised as "Founder Edition"...
