Nvidia is reported to release a Pascal-based Titan GPU in August

Looking at past prices and current prices I can see the 1080 Ti coming in a bit higher than the current pricing of the 1080 and that is just a big no no from me, Not a question of being able to afford it but at that point it goes into the urine extraction area, More so than it is now.

I don't care what kind of performance a card has, I'm not paying €800+ just for a graphics card. NVidia would be taking the micky with that. The 1080 is the same price as the 980ti was at launch here in Europe. That is a joke to me.

The reference 980 Ti came in at roughly £550 in the UK and now the 1080 reference comes in at £620.

I can see Nvidia repeating this trend every gen and even then the die hard fan boys will have to admit that these price increases are just pure greed.

It has to come to a head eventually, though. People will stop buying GPU's because a 1070 will be good for 1080p for years to come. A 970 is good for 1080p. The flagships will only be bought by the elite 5%. There can't be that much revenue in that for the supposed R&D and production that goes into these massive 600mm chips.

AMD's prices have risen as well. The 290X was $550. The Fury X wasn't that much of a performance jump and it cost $650.

Then why do you keep showing them it's OK to charge that much?

If you didn't do that they would have to drop prices.

Only cards I have ever paid ludicrous amounts of money for have been the Fury X and Titan X which I got a refund on.

The 1080 I only put 200 towards as I sold my 980 Ti for 400 a while ago.

However 600 is my limit, I paid £600 for the Fury X and £600 for the 1080, Any more and GPU makers can take a swan dive off the empire state ^_^
