Nvidia really is becoming the Apple of the PC market.

It is the best, though. :/

 

[melmac]

You must be an octopus judging by the number of cards you buy

LOL And the laughs go on

Well, 1070 arrived this morning, turns out my 7970 Lightning BE is managing to keep the Vive running decent enough.

still not opened the 1070 box, guess it will be going back monday and I can join the 1080 FTW queue!

my only question now... is it rude to take the Haribo out of the box before returning?

Not sure, hopefully its not too long. I have an old 680 i can use untill it comes.

Isnt the 1080 the fastest single gpu money can buy?

No

Check the Firestike HOF tables.

Hopefully they will get the 1080 up there but at the moment it does not even get a look in.

Oh god........ please don't remind me.

I worry about the next release/future as we venture further into apple territory.

No, leave a note saying thanks for the charitybo.

And no 8Pack in the top 10? Why call a card HOF after him then?

Too many people get worried about labels. A few weeks ago the Titan was selling for £800. Now the 1070 is less than half of that and according to all the easily googled benchmarks noticeably faster. Yes in my book 10-15 fps is significant.

Ah yes, another Victim of Nvidia's brilliant marketing. Comparing the 1070 to an overpriced Titan-x and thinking you are getting a good deal.

Available here in NZ now too and we're also getting rinsed on price. Selling for £444 (if calculated on direct currency conversion) with stock quite freely available. So more expensive than the UK.

Spoke to a guy in my local PC superstore this morning and asked if they've sold any since it was released on Friday. Sold one so far but apparently quite a few 1080s.

Its amazing a few years back nVidia would have been crucified for it, these days people even defend them.

 

[MichaelAwkward]

I feel so gutted buying the 970 just before the 1070 came out, looks like such a decent card!

Why? It's 65% of the price for 64% of the performance at 1080p. It'll be months before the 1070 prices start to fall.

The Titan I never minded because it priced so that most people won't bother and additionally it's a true high end card. That said the pricing on the 1080 and 1070 is - in my opinion - completely ludicrous.

I've got no problems if people weigh up the pros and cons and decide to plump for either but objectively these cards are priced at least a tier above what they should be. Let's remind ourselves that these are 256 bit bus, GP104 GPUs yet priced along the lines of previous Ti/x80 lines.

It's too far for me to go for in this generation personally.

But nvidia said they only used premium components..thats sure worth the extra 100-150 pounds right? I mean components cost like a lot of money.. A LOT OF MONEY... A LOT...

The new 'Four Quid Mate Edition' range is where it's at right now.

Are you seriously ignoring all the crucifying that people ARE doing to them over this? Or are you just going to pick out the rare exceptions and then act like they represent the popular opinion?
