Nvidia's GTX 10 series graphics cards have returned to MSRP pricing in the US and UK

From the 1060 upwards, every single one of those cards is still £50-£100 overpriced considering they're now near obsolete two year old tech.

You'd have to be some kind of stupid to spend £400-£700 on a Pascal card now.

Or maybe you'd be someone who needs a GPU and don't want to wait another 2-3 months.
 
The downside is that the next generation clearly isn't coming anytime soon, otherwise they wouldn't stock up on the old generation.

Yes they maybe overpriced still, but sometimes you don't really have a choice.

I would have liked to wait for the new card's before buying one, but since my dad's 780Ti's basically gave up on him, he needed a new card so I bought a 1080Ti and gave him my 980Ti.

Yet your sig still says 980 Ti ^_^

Yep it's still way to much and honestly I'd rather sell and get a new card that comes out this year.

Same; I have zero interest in Pascal. I'll take blah blah whatever it's named. It's going to be an awful long wait though as some are now mentioning holiday season availability. FFS!

Has there been an architecture that lived longer than this one?
 
I wouldn't buy a Pascal GPU now, but I can see why some would. The reality is, people haven't just decided to buy a new graphics card. They've wanted one for months but couldn't get one. Now they can. Also, as cool as a new architecture would be, I don't think we need it. Pascal has been out for two years, but it's still going strong and showing no major signs of weakness. Any new architecture will likely just be a refinement by reducing the TDP and price (slightly). But yeah, seeing new stock likely means we're still many months away from anything from Turing/Volta/Ampere.

Well said and true as always :)

Yeah been thinking that for a while. I'm still playing Far Cry 5 and alternating between rigs (my house and my mother's) and even my Fury X puts up a good fight at 1600p.

DX12 hasn't really happened and what we have is more than capable of throwing around any DX11 game.
 
I'm seriously thinking about buying one now. Yes they're 2 years old but they're still performing great and a 1080 would be a 100% upgrade from my 290x. Volta isn't coming out anytime soon and it's also not going to be cheap.

I guess it all depends on your needs. If you're pushing 4K then might as well wait for the most muscle but for guys like me that are still humming along happily at 1080, a good price on a 1080 or even Ti would be a worthwhile investment.

Yup 1080 is still more than enough for 1440p. Heck, you could even get away with a 1070 at that res. I would not bother with Volta until Ray Tracing becomes a proper thing where you actually need one. Until then DX12 is rather pants, and we are not even at the end of the DX11 development cycle (IE there are still going to be games started in DX11 and finished in DX11 for launch).

If you can find a GTX 1080 at a decent price, do it. There's nothing holding that card back and there's nothing coming in the next year or so (that we can predict) from game developers that will push a GTX 1080 out of its comfort zone or will take advantage of newer GPU architectures. The GTX 980 didn't last nearly as long and neither did the 780 or 780Ti. Pascal has been a fantastic architecture. It's given gamers what they want at the right time (minus price).
 
I went from a 290X to a 1080 a year ago and i've never looked back although I do wish I kept my 290X for Nostalgic reasons.
