The GTX 1080 Founders Edition will cost a minimum of 619.99 in the UK

Well AMD have gone 14nm FinFet so they may actually rival nvidia with the smaller process. We can only wait and see.

I personally have always preferred Nvidia and will most likely buy an Nvidia GPU but maybe not the pascal series I think on this occassion Nvidia have gotten a little bit greedy although I'm still holding out a little hope that the board partners release thier cards at the lowest MSRP that nvidia have quoted which should put them at around the £550 mark

Well we all know the process isnt everything. The architecture and itd focus will play a decent part too.

Ok found the euro pricing for the GTX 1080 and its only 657 euro that's only just over £500 and from what I understand we don't have to pay import tax on anything purchased within the EU other than alcohol and tobacco.

This could be a way of grabbing a card at a reasonable price

Where did you find that? Cheapest I have seen on any EU site is €789

Germany and france charge at the 789 euro rate because of their extra high tax

Cheers mate well let me know if you find cards listed at that price

 

[steverebo]

I'm looking but cant find any online retailers yet

Looks like the Australian pricing is not going to be cheap either which i knew it wasn't going to be but this might be the pricing.

From Kotaku not sure how good they are, But that's if the pricing is correct.

A Kotaku Australia reader has sent in a quote from a local retailer quoting the price of a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 8GB at a staggering $1,299 excluding shipping. The figure was apparently published by accident and picked up by Google Cache, although the listing has since been taken down from the main website.

Another retailer told me they would begin offering the Founders Edition of the GTX 1080 from $1199. They only did so under the veil of anonymity, however, to avoid risking the wrath of the GPU giant. That would mean the Founders Edition would be priced noticeably above the GTX 980 Ti, which most major retailers are selling for around $870 and $950 according to a StaticICE search.

I really want to hear something in regards to the board partners pricing but there is nothing I can find

IMO The price doesn't matter cause Nvidia knows that these cards are going to sell regardless of the price.

I understand what you're saying, new product, hype and will sell well but consider the other side of it;

Intel brought Skylake out and due to the prices, people ended up buying 5820K's instead (me included). I don't think that was part of their plan.

For the type of silly money this 1080 is going for, i may as well bankrupt myself and get the Radeon Pro Duo instead!

1199 wouldn't surprise me. About where the Ti's were launched IIRC. The straight exchange rate would put them in the 900 region already so a one to two hundred premium would probably go to the first lot. People will pay to be the first...

I'm not too concerned about the 1080, it's out of my price range and I haven't a monitor with a high enough resolution to justify the purchase of it. The GTX 1070 is what I'll likely get.

I'm hoping the aftermarket GTX 1070's will be around the 400-450 EUR for me. It's about what I paid for the nearly 3 year old GTX 780 I have.

Time will tell.

 

[steverebo]

From nvidia pricing chart which showed it only 100USD less than the 1080 and how it has worked out here I suspect the 1070 will be priced around £520 to £550 or around 600 euro

Its $220 cheaper, 1080 599$/1070 379$ It will be allot cheaper than 600 euro I would bet my house on it, the price gouging at the top end they can get away with because its the fastest card on the planet, barely, but it is and people will pay a large premium to have that and get it early, also if they released a 1070 at that price no one wold buy it, you can get watercooled Titan X's for the same money now.

Just checked my go to store to confirm, 789€, are they mad? The 3rd party ones will still be in the high 6xx at least, i think i just lost all hope for the 1070 to be reasonably priced.

 

[steverebo]

I really don't know, some sites are claiming the board partners cards will be £200 cheaper than the founders edition but I just can't see that happening. I'm hoping the non founders edition cards launch soon so we have an idea of cost I've been holding out buying a GPU for 6 weeks whilst waiting for this launch and my patience is running thin

To be fair, it's your own government who is the main cause of that €789 price rather than Nvidia.

Anyone in USA want to buy a 1080 for me a ship as a gift ^_^

I blame the Euro losing value. A few years ago 1$ was 75c, so the dollar price pretty much converted to the euro price with the tax. Now 1$ is 90c, which makes things more expensive. Either that or the tax is a new thing.

That comes into it too, but at the same time pretty much all European countries have a far higher tax rate (call it VAT or whatever) than the US. It's always been this way, or at least for our lifetimes.

It means the seller has to charge a higher price to make the same profit margin since the government is now stealing a large chunk of the pie. The larger that chunk of the pie, the higher the asking price for the same profit margin.

In short, it means us at this side of the Atlantic will always pay more for stuff in general regardless what the EURUSD is doing, unless something drastic happens like the USD hyperinflating or something.
