There is a chance - however small - that details on custom coolers are under an NDA which is due to expire in the next day. Hopefully.
Im more surprised at the low to no outrage against Nvidia for announcing $599/379 skus that we are unlikely to see.
Makes no economic or marketing sense for Nvidia partners to go lower than $599/379 for their fancy customed heatsinks and supersized pcb boards.

They are charging $100 more as an early adopter fee. There is no difference between a Founder's Edition and a "regular" 1080.
Other than being $100 more.
Tough thing is that normally it's
- a cooling system/fan
- factory OC'd
- not $100 more than base/reference
This is Nvidia hammering the early adopters because they know they will pay and also because AMD is not doing anything competitive right now and they also know that.
So? It's a reference design, reference designs always come first. We don't even know what the actual custom designs are going to be and if the cheap ones are any good or not.

i'm never gonna upgrade
This is just NVIDIA getting a slice of the scarcity pie they created.
1. Launch several products at a shortage
2. Watch as people resell said product at a premium
3. Competitor becomes complacent and not very relevant in the market
3. Knowingly design the product launch to cause shortage position.
4. Manufactured shortage situation now becomes profitable for NVIDIA
I blame AMD.
This is the behavior of a company when there is no viable competition.
Come May 27 you won't be saying that about AMD.
Let me tell you guys and gals something about that 599 price tag...
You'll never see it that low.
I'm getting my wallet ready for that $799 Ti.
Yup. It at least partially has to do with low yields.The "intentional shortage" part seems like tinfoil hat territory.
Only Nvidia could get away with something like this.
I was gonna buy a 1070, now I'm praying for AMD to deliver.
AMD lol
It means i have no hope that AMD will put out anything good enough to combat what Nvidia is doing. I hope they do especially at a cheaper price but i doubt it.What does this post even mean?
Rumors point to 390X/390 performance at less that $299. To me 390X at $299 sounds good.

I'm sure EVGA will launch EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 SC+ GAMING ACX 2.0+, EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 CLASSIFIED GAMING ACX 2.0+ within a week or two
So what's the difference between Founder and Regular?
Yikes, this is shitty news. Looks like I'll be waiting for quite a while before buying. AMD save us.
AMD lol
SC+ starts at 729
Classifieds goes for 799
pre-order now and shipping in July.
We can't buy it anyways, it will be sold out within the minute.People, please show some restraint and DON"T BUY THIS. Seriously, wait a month for AIB's like EVGA and Asus to release their cooler, faster and likely cheaper cards.
WTF? So you're basically paying a premium for reference coolers?
