With the release of the 1080 Ti, the MSRP of the 1080 GTX has lowered by ~$100 USD and Amazon US has reflected this price update.

I imagine local retailers will follow this more aggressively in the coming weeks, but still this is cheaper than any listing on staticice.

There are other brands and models available for comparable pricing (including harder to get models in Aus).

  Just goes to show how much markup there is on them when they were $1k+, if they can sell them for $680 and still make a profit.

    i dont think so, its more of a rebate from the manufacturer to the reseller to sell the 1080s for cheaper.

      Well the markup was there somewhere, doesn't matter if it from the manufacturer to the reseller or the reseller to the consumer.

  What u think 50% is a big markup? Check out iPhone, 300%+

    Sure, for the company with the fruit logo, definitely not the retailer.

    Why wouldn't they charge what people will pay?

    Do you think when you buy a phone you are just paying for the parts? You have to take into account the millions spent on R&D.

      That doesn't explain why there's such value to be found in phones with other OS like Android.

        Not sure what you mean, phones like the HTC U Ultra can cost more than an iPhone.

        It's a case of perceived value. Consumers will happily pay what they think the product is worth, regardless of if there is a 300% markup for "fruit products" or not

  Problem is warranty.

    I don't know how it is dealing with Amazon or with Gigabyte boards. There are some similarly priced EVGA boards which come with an international warranty/RMA process which might be worth looking at.

    To get a decent price, you need to buy it in USD and pay with a card that has 0% foreign transaction fee (Bankwest Zero Platinum, Citibank Plus, etc. If you buy it in AUD, Amazon gives you a bad exchange rate, charging you a few points.

    Also, the prices have gotten a bit worse since our exchange rate has changed.
