Nvidia Geforce GTX 1070 Review Thread

I expect the 480 to be A LOT closer to a 970 than a 1070 honestly.
Deary me. They have 1080's on there for an extra £70

if your spending that much on a 1070 you might as well go fr a 1080

What?!?
How much, roughly, would this come down once the Nvidia buy-it-now-because-the-world-might-end-tomorrow tax is removed?
I have no plans of upgrading my 970 any time soon but still follow these new card releases with interest.
Back with the 970 and 980 there was a very real difference in price that could be weighed up. In this instance it would be sensible to entertain adding £70 to jump to the 1080.
They won't the non-FE's will be marked up.
Thanks guys.
Will there be a new version of the 960 coming out anytime soon? I can wait for a while... Otherwise I'll check out the new amd card
Do they even know their market for this card?
real pricing should be approximately £349 for the basic cards, up to £399 for the FE. Higher end custom cards will be somewhere inbetween - maybe stupid MSI tries it on and goes for a little more expensive than FE like they are with the 1080 gaming X.
But consider that you can get a 1080 for £530 - albeit a basic blower but it'll work just fine and later on you could strap an AIB cooler on for £50-60 and it'll be quiet and probably boost just as well as the custom ones.
The euro price is unfortunate but I think partly its a Canada situation - i.e shitty exchange rate. Iphone SE 16GB is $399 in the US - slightly more than the MSRP of basic 1070 - but in Europe it is 499 euro. So a 499 euro 1070 shouldn't be a surprise unfortunately, and that might just be for basic cards.
I'm pretty sure Nvidia know EXACTLY how much they can get away with.
Right, but it should be the same market that wouldn't pay this same price for a 980 nearly two years ago. So why would they pay it for a 1070 now? This isn't the 'money is no issue, need the best card now' people looking to buy it.

1060 and/or 1060Ti but don't expect them earlier than in Aug-Sep.

Exactly. The money is no issue people are buying 1080s
The 1070 is supposed to be an alternative for a slightly more price-conscious demographic. They're risking to price themselves out of what's considered acceptable for mid-range with this.
Well, let's wait and see where the custom cards land price-wise in the coming week.

now *that* is just profiteering IMO. Other than a couple of outliers, most custom cards should be at or below FE prices.

Strange, it seems to be gone. Whatever, they can get stuffed with that price. It would make more sense to get a 1080.
1070 Gaming X from Msi listed at £420 here now. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/msi-...ddr5-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-32a-ms.html
Either sold out already or price redacted again, but not interested at this markup

That store jumped the gun a little, the other stores are opening up orders in an hour. We'll see what their prices are like.
E: I'm seeing flash sales on the 980Ti HOF at 500€.
still taking the piss but more likely that is MSI doing it as their 1080 is overpriced too.

We certainly do.
I think it's a pastime like drinking tea and queuing...add to those two being shafted

Fucking lol, if all the third party 1070 end up being over €450 I'll just buy a 480 later. I'm not supporting these markups.
Really hope the leaked prices are just some overpriced editions or mistakes and decently priced ones will be available soon; I'm hoping to get one and quickly sell off my 970 to make back a decent amount of the cost, but if the prices stay this ridiculous I may as well not bother.

EVGA site was messed up before anything even launched (clearly they didn't learn anything from last time)
also apparently the pricing on these 1070s from all of the partners is expected to be really bad?...may end up just passing for now then if it's ridiculous

Wow, if they deliver to France and their 1070 prices are that level of reasonable I just might order from them.
E: looks like all the other online stores in France are selling them in the 499-549€ range.
It's like $419 for the base EVGA model.

was going off of what people were saying the European prices were...figured the US prices would be just as screwed up
right now though I can't get anything to load on EVGA's site as far as 1070's go and Newegg only has 1070's for sale as combo deals with other stuff

Are prices expected to go lower after these FE cards? Or will this be the spectrum wherein the cards will stay?
Looks like the complete opposite in the UK, with 3rd party cards going for more than the FE card.

Guru3D's MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Gaming X review is back online.
The prices will go lower once all the people who can't wait a month will get their Fail Edition cards. The stated MSRP of $380 means that there will be cards for that price (no idea how that converts to euro or pound, sorry).
