There will be a new Titan soon and it will be as much faster than 1070/1080 as the current one was over 970/980. Not sure why this is bad or surprising.

Probably a dumb question, but if I was going to buy an FE card, is there really any difference in any of the ones from different manufacturers? I don't know nearly as much as I should about how this works.

all of the Founders cards are the same

Wtf newegg is now restricting orders from overseas, it's taking both 1070-80 from my cart when I try to order. I'm not paying bloody $780 for a mid range card.... Selling my 970 was such a shitty mistake....

Wow
I personally went with the EVGA model because of the step up program, in case I want a better card down the line, it'll be cheaper to upgrade

These prices are obscene. I'm not paying more than the equivalent of $350.
I've got other more important things in my life to spend my coin on. Like we're thinking of getting a pet pig this summer, which can't be cheap either.

Yup. Nvidia still bullshittin. I really wanted one, but now...... Damnit.

Crazy cos I sold my 980 early thinking these would be freely available kinda about now and that card would plummet in re-sale value. I got the money from selling it so I'm either going RX 480 or a cheaper AIB 1070.

Lol I got one of those. I used it to pick up a second-hand GTX 960 for £112 total. That's on its way to tide me over until these prices normalize. The 750 Ti I'm currently rocking is being returned for a full refund.
Looks like the MSI Aero OC (which should actually be under $400) and Sea Hawk X may come sooner than expected. Amazon has pages up!
Stock seems a lot more abundant for the 1070 than it was for the 1080 at launch. I have faith.
Edit: Nvidia has the FE in stock again.

That MSI Aero card might be my pick if it's under $400. Would look really nice in a white or black S340.

These are ugly as sin though. I've noticed nearly all the 1070/80 cards look pretty bad, reference and AIB. EVGA are usually sexy but their new designs are pretty terrible.
Not yet, unfortunately. It'll probably be at least $470 anyway.
Well, one of those is basically a plastic reference card so you shouldn't expct much from it anyway. It's just meant to be cheap.

Don't know why people are being so indignant about the pricing... this is exactly what they said it was going to be when they announced it. If you don't want to pay a premium, just wait a bit.

the thing that's disappointing is that the majority of the partner cards will be over Founders pricing when the 1080 is the opposite
right now for the 1080 the only card that's higher than Founders pricing is the 1080 Gaming X from MSI...for the 1070 the only non-blower cards expected to be under Founders pricing are the ACX 3.0 and SC from EVGA at $420 and $440 (just $10 cheaper so almost a wash)...all of the other 1070 cards are expected to be $460+ if not $500
that's why I said the 1080 pricing seems fair in comparison to how they are doing the 1070

Has anyone's Amazon order shipped? I paid extra for next day delivery, but it hasn't shipped yet =S
No, it's not what they said at launch. It's what you expected based on what they said.
To be fair, those are also the only cards with known pricing. There's still a chance that others will be cheaper.

Wait an item with low supply and high demand is being price gouged? What type of world are we living in??
I think anyone with a basic concept of economics knew this shit was gonna happen.

If this is how the market plays out, AMD could have a big win if they release an awesome $300-330ish card. If most decent cooler aftermarket cards are going to be $440+, that is pricing themselves out of the sub $350 market that the 970 sold a ton at.

EVGA official european prices is essentially 500€.
Completely out of market.
http://eu.evga.com/Products/ProductList.aspx?type=0&family=GeForce+10+Series+Family&chipset=GTX+1070
(also, the OC version is barely +100MHz, where the 970 models were around +200. This is not a good sign. Memory is +8 MHz, literally. For a whopping 0.3Gb/s bandwidth increase.)
Yeah it's literally just an early adopter's tax.
I'll be waiting for the MSI Aero model, if that comes in at $380-$400 I'll bite.
Give it a month for the prices to settle down. The 970 was the popular card and card makers are probably marking it as such. The 1070 is exactly what I thought would happen when you make the founders more expensive, i.e. Higher prices on better performing cards. The $379 is the bullshit entry level like the 16gb iPhone that nobody buys. Hope we get lucky and can get something decent like an asus strix or gigabyte g1 for $400 in a month.

As someone who bought a 1070 a couple hours ago, here's how I see it: new technology is always coming out, and stuff is always getting faster and cheaper. If you buy a 1070 FE now, you're getting substantially more performance per dollar than if you'd bought a 980 TI a month ago.
(And, in my case, I'm starting my first job after college in a few weeks, so this may be one of the last times in my life that I have this much free time. Would rather get my new card when I still have lots of time to play games.)

I've got a Gigabyte 980Ti Waterforce on its way for £400. Worth cancelling that and getting a 1070 or 1080? Performances seem to be somewhat similar to the 1070, but with much more overclocking headroom.

I just grabbed the EVGA founders edition off NCIX. I had an ancient gift card from an old purchase lying around that saved me the shipping insurance too !
With GST and and everything it wasn't much more then the 390X I grabbed a little while ago to tide me over.
I really did want a 1080 but the cheapest one is 829.99 canadian and I'm on a 1080p (3D... that I barely use) monitor for the near term so I just couldn't justify spending the extra 210$ (minimum). Leaves me open to upgrade in another couple years I suppose.
Only shame is that my card probably won't show up until next thursday or friday ... but I have to say I'm curious to return to team green and finally check out all those nvidia exclusive features I've missed out on in roughly half the games out there

I can't wait till the founders phase is over.
Any idea how long this will take?
What's bad about that?
Nothing. I'm just warning you that they'll be blowers and won't have cooling as good as actual custom cards. That's basically an FE with a plastic shroud. If that doesn't matter you and you just want the card it's a good buy. Going from a 760, even a stock 1070 will more than double your performance.
Up to a month I'd say.
