They are selling founders edition 1080s on ebay for 800 trying to out do all the other sellers asking for 900+ 😎
 
Uhhh pretty sure this happens all the time with new card releases -- at least it used to years ago. Pretty sure it's called "A Seller's Market"

I like how your question came after the "What is the retail price?" question.

If you can't actually BUY it at MSRP, that number is pretty meaningless. Like anything else in this world, it's worth what the market says it's worth.

I'm waiting for the 1060 myself, because I'm cheap and I don't want to replace the 475W power supply in my PC.

I really don't understand the point of the 1080. Still can't get 60 fps at 4k, and at lower resolutions the 980ti seems like better bang for buck. Why are people buying this card?

I'd guess newer, lower power & heat and its good enough for 4k gaming for the lucky few who have that option.
 
If the 480 4gb actually comes out at $200, and the 8Gb at the guesstimate of ~$250, I would think that is going to be a hotter turnover items because it will probably have serious supply issues for 4+ months, no?

Even crazier, if that 490 8GB really MSRPs at $300. Hard not to recommend that one above all others (Assuming benchmarks actually deliver on AMD promises). Imagine the supply issues and true purchase price if AMD magically meets expectations.


Oh, well this is always a factor:

My GTX680 still holds up well. I will be getting a GTX1070 though. Almost for sure.

E-peen. Plus there is the fact that its most likely going to be overshadowed by a titan or Ti version pretty quickly.
 
I might care if I was mining ethereum or something, but I don't think I need one to run two year-old ported console titles.
 
This reminds me of when the PS2 first came out when Gamestop was being a bitch and only selling it in "bundles" that saved absolutely no money. Basically just added up the price of everything and tacked on a few extra cents to make it end in .99.

$699/799 EUR "Founder's Edition" (reference blower)

Stock is in short supply so lots of resellers at the moment. I suspect some of them are in one of the five US states with no sales tax, and pocketing the difference from reselling the cards to people who can't wait a month for stock.
