Yeah 1080s regularly go between 650-700. Not a great deal imo
They did, past tense. If you can see $650 1080s anywhere you should be putting them on Ebay yourself.
The point here is that people should not be buying one at these horribly inflated prices. You'll notice we didn't neg the deal, merely critiqued it.
The new xx70 and xx80 cards are going to be here in April, if the jungle drums are to be believed. June by the latest.
In the mean time it's miners fighting for scraps.
The Gigabyte Windforce 1080 was available for around $680 delivered as part of the PCTECH sale in Jan.
$824 for a 1080 lol.. you were able to buy a 1080ti for around $850..
I think the poster is doing a good job. This is a good price if you have to get a card now or in the next few months. I think prices will get worse because:
- 3DCentre reports TSMC stopped producing the GP102 GPU used in the 1080TI so stocks will run out
- Nvidia said this month it expects supply problems for at least the next quarter (i.e. they're stuffed till the new GPUs are available)
- Sellers are running out of stock of high end Nvidia cards including 1070TI and 1080;
- the 3GB 1060 is becoming less attractive to miners due to the eth DAG size issue pushing them to higher cards
- plenty of places expecting the new Nvidia GPUs to be expensive
- I think the high-end Nvidia cards are more likely to be using the more expensive Samsung 16GB GDDR6 rather than the Hynix 8GB GDDR6. The extra memory also allowing Nvidia to sell them at a premium over the the 11GB 1080TI cards.
Let's hope the crypto market keeps crashing. Once it gets low enough miners will be selling off their old cards for next to nothing, and new cards will be available at normal prices.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but it's all going back up again.. And even in the dip it was still profitable.
I think BTC has to hit about $6k before it's not breaking even anymore, assuming all crypto is still tethered to it.
If the new cards work well with mining, you'll bet your top dollar the price hikes will remain.
Sorry to burst your bubble but an ungoverned asset that doesn't have an intrinsic value, and will never be able to sprout one, isn't really an asset.
The best thing that could happen for the world right now is that the retail cards are somehow coded at an instruction level to prevent cryptomining, and this whole absurd practice starts to die.
Bah cash money has no intrinsic value either. People accept cash and believe it has value because they trust that other people will accept it. Not much different from the popular cryptos in my opinion.
@Loopyloop: 'an ungoverned asset'
Fiat currency is government-backed. Whether or not you think very much of that, it stands for something more, as opposed to a handshake agreement about a decentralised ledger network.
Don't be stupid, it is impossible to stop Cryptomining on GPUs, they are just CUDA and OpenCL code after all.
@Namesareapain: it's not impossible, just difficult and will likely cause a minor price increase on GPUs going into the future.
It would effectively be a form of DRM akin to HDCP. The 'trick' would be how to maintain it over time with rolling encryption methods, but you could at least prevent the hardware from being used in certain configurations, then possibly latch onto any unique calls.
Doing so while offering mining alternatives with better grades of VRAM at suitably higher prices might allow them to permanently segment the markets (if the market for crypto can't be killed off).
Yep, please serve up some more of that crypto trading advice via the mainstream media!
sold ftw3 1080ti for 900 last NOV FML
Given that you'd otherwise expect a GTX 1080ti at this price, it's really not.
This was under $700 in November/December.
