ASUS GTX 1080 Strix

[Dawelio]

Hey guys,

A bit of an odd question, but does anyone know or perhaps have any information regarding this graphics card and when it will be released?...

As the information I find regarding it on Google is mostly just talk about when the Founders Edition got released and that no retailers has any stock of this GPU.

Do you guys know anything regarding it?...

I live in Sweden as well, if that makes any difference.

Thanks,
Chrazey

You just have to keep an eye out for stock because most people have pre-ordered so as soon as stock comes in it is already gone and sent out.

Ahh... Ohh... So that is why the "Pre Order" button went away from of my retailers website then :mellow:

I talked to scan about preordering one and they said they had 400+ pre orders.

Yeah, seems like the demand is already sky high!

And the price. Since the brexit vote there seems to be alot of retailers who have increased the price quite a bit

A lot of retailers are raising price on stock they have had for weeks now which is beyond greedy and caused a hell of a **** storm especially on OCUK with their customers.

Mate of mine who works in retail said that in reality the price should only go up by the tiniest margin but retailers are doing their usual greedy part it seems.

It's disgusting behaviour. Scan/ocuk are two of the worst offenders. Scan added 80-100 to some of their cards. The worst thing was scan cancelled an order I had and then made the same card available for £80 more on a different code in the site.

Can someone more educated than me explain all of this "yield" talk?... I can't get my head around it and don't get it honestly. I read it everywhere, but don't get it.

Does it have any effect on why the 1080 Strix is so hard to get hold of etc?...

Ohh and Dicey, looking at your sig now, I thought you had an 1080? But says in your sis Zotac 980 Ti? :huh:... Is it just me, or have you become like me? Switching and returning a lot hehe?

It's just supply & demand at its ugliest and its nothing new or unique. Strategically selling a product for a maximum profit at a price that they can get away with based on the current demand.

So let's say I were going to sell a new variant on a 1080, I would advertise the the crap out of it, give it to online reviewers etc and then make availability small to begin with as to heighten the want but can't have feature that's wired into most of our brains. It wouldn't make sense to flood the market which can naturally drive down further prices.

Yield management is a variable pricing strategy, based on understanding, anticipating and influencing consumer behavior in order to maximize revenue or profits from a fixed, perishable resource (such as airline seats or hotel room reservations or advertising inventory).

Um no. Lebel, that's not the specific "yield" that was being mentioned.
Although I can't even find where it was being talked about in this thread.. think he may have gotten threads mixed up.

To clear up as simple as I can make it so i don't confuse you Chrazey, yields in circuit fabrication in regards to CPUs/GPUs/SoC refers to the average "yield" per whole wafer. So let's say you have a wafer that has 1000 different cpu circuit, like a 6700k core. But 100 are defective. That means 10% is defective per wafer, so the yield would be 90%. So when cutting out each specific circuit and going through testing, they would end up tossing 100 6700ks in the bin.

That's not entirely 100% accurate of a description as only a Fab Engineer could explain, but it gets the point across

And to be clear, initial yields for Nvidias GTX 10 series was not bad. Demand was so high that supply was low. But after 2 months the problem was more or less sorted out. If any specific card is hard to get a hold of while many others are not, such is the case for the Strix, then that's Asus own problem, not Nvidias.
They did better than AMD so far for supply, as AMD just only recently got there crap sorted.

Without the correct definition it's a path I took. Back in your box lebel
