When you order the 1080, order her some nice flowers and a bottle of wine. Sorted:)

Nvidias RRP is 379 euro so anything under 400 is a purchase for me.

Their price is $379 in America, before tax. You won't get one for €400, I'm expecting closer to €500

I was touting that one too but it seems £312 inc is being bandied about = €406. We might see €500 at launch or close to it but I suspect the lower tier cards will settle into the sub €400 bracket.

Is it? Pretty sure that's only Dollars. Could be wrong though.

Even so, that's in theory. Unfortunately what I was worried about happening has happened: Most manufactures took NVIDIA's pricing and went "Well as long as we're less than that, who cares?!" so almost none of them are pricing things at RRP.

Actually compared to the RRP of £450 and seeing the cheapest card in UK going for £525 has me worried about the 1070 prices.

I quoted 379 was dollars, so yeah, looking at more than 400 euro, probably 450 up which is probably beyond purchase territory for me.

MarkAnthony

€450 is my magic number. If they're less than €400 tonight it's going in the basket!

Guys, I was chatting with my mate in America (he lived in Kerry for his youth and now works as a software engineer in the USA) and he dropped a bombshell on me.
That "before tax" thing, is only said in California. EVERY other state in the USA does not put any tax on Hardware, merely they tax the shipping costs (usually, $1-$2). Which is why he only payed $700 for the Founder's Edition (a $1 delivery tax).
So, we really are being royally f**ked here in the EU by VAT.

Serephucus

Anyone travelling to the US soon want to do a mass Boards buy?

(I'm not joking)

MarkAnthony

If sitting here waiting turns out to be as anticlimactic as that fecking AMD stream I might cry.

You better bring a whole suitcase. I'm looking to upgrade a tonne of stuff XD

I know, I felt kind of bad for Raja, getting up there, English being his second language and then waiting for applause....and no one did.

At least it was better than nVidia's cheerleaders and actors shouting "WHAT'S MORE? HOLY SH!T" etc

MarkAnthony

Midnight in Europe, no update on the websites

MarkAnthony

Looks like 3 and 4 way SLI is gone out of the driver. The enthusiast key system has been dumped.

Serephucus

Good. It was absolutely pointless.

NVIDIA said they weren't going to be supporting 3/4-way (read: releasing SLI profiles), so the only way it was going to be used was in benchmark utilities that are coded for it (already a thing), and DX12 games that don't require an NVIDIA specific profile to work, also still a thing.

So actually, nothing has changed with this announcement.

Pushtrak

I've got the rest of the bits for a new PC but figure it best to hold out till Monday (at the earliest) to order a 1070. I'll see, I might hold out another week or two beyond that to see how the cards look on release, what the news is, etc.

Eoinmc97

Oh boy...although I never knew you could OC from the drivers.

challengemaster

First sign of 480 benches....apparently

I was starting to look at 980s on adverts as a middle ground. I don't really need 1070 performance. Definitely stopped that now, unless someone is going to sell me a 980 for €200 :pac:

MarkAnthony

I know KFA aren't known for being great but €659 is pretty tempting! Certainly reinforces my €450 budget. If that card was red and black I might have gone for it!

MarkAnthony

FFS looks like we have to wait for the yanks - I'm going to bed.

Founders Edition in US on sale at 450 dollar

TireeTerror

I thought the GTX 1070 was out today, is that not the case? I dont see it for sale in the usual places.

Serephucus

Probably on US time or something. It is supposed to be out today anyway.

I believe Overclockers put up postings for the 1080 around 11am, so speculation on OCUK forums appears to be similar

(Might be wrong on the time, but basically it was in or around lunch)

*Checking back on OCUK, the time speculated if 14:00, as it was the time the 1080 was available for order on OCUK

MarkAnthony

6am PST seems to be the latest guess.

Serephucus

1pm here, in that case.

TireeTerror

Is it the same situation that we had with the 1080, where its just the rubbish Founders Edition cards first, then we have to wait a few weeks for the partners cards?

Ive been hanging onto my 580SLI setup since 2011, I NEED an upgrade now.

Xenoronin

More than likely.

MarkAnthony

I expect we'll see AiB cards today as well. The 1080 launch was a slightly different setup.

Edit: based on EVGA links perhaps not

Nedved85

The 1070 FE is 499 on evga http://eu.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=08G-P4-6170-KR

Judging by evga's own 1080 prices, EVGAs' 1070 might be 399. That's not bad for those in the market!

Absolutely delighted I sold my 980 ti a few weeks ago now

TheDoc

Said I'd hang off as probably can't justify a €400-500 layout this month after moving house (misses IKEA trip) monitor and few other bits I bought.

But damn am I trying to fiddle the numbers
