I've noted prices of secondhand 1080 Ti's went up actually, after benchmarks of the new RTX cards were known (and how much they retail for) there's actually been an increase in interest in secondhand Pascal cards.
Speaking of which, RTX 2070's are up for pre-order for a minimum of $969. About as expensive as a 1080Ti…
Not surprising Pascal prices have rebounded given how garbage the 20xx series is.
Wow, the markup is real there… should be $700ish once the stock speed chips debut.
Best price I can see on eBay right now is $911 with code, but again these are all factory OC cards.
Wait for a 1080Ti. You can buy one used on GumTree for around $850'ish
Any 1080ti's? spewing I missed the one for $900
Checked this earlier and the cheapest one in this 20% off sale is $1020 for the gigabyte version
Waiting on a 1080ti too, either that or 2080 but need the 11gb ram
Curious, what do you need 11GB of VRAM for? Seems like a lot of VRAM to me, but then a 1080Ti is a pretty powerful card.
Prototyping deep learning models, running higher batch sizes is generally better. If I could benefit from half precision operations then I’d go with the tensor cores in the 2080. Either way still way cheaper than Titan cards
Is the 1080ti much of an improvement over 1080
I think around 30%
I use an ultra wide monitor under 4K res and a 1080 is good enough.
3440x1440? Are you running your 1080 OCed? I'm even considering a 2nd hand 1070ti and OC it to match or better a 1080 stock on 3440x1440.
I was wondering that this morning while I watched that video. Until I realised it was at 4k ultra. Even with a 25℅ perf gain, at 1080p, I'll never see it.
And it's a lot more than a 25% price difference.
Unless it can deep fake on the fly, too spooky..
A lot cheaper than 2070s. Seems like a good deal.
(Edited to correct an earlier brain fart)
It's a good deal considering after it's found out the 2070 is only slightly better than the 1080 the price of the 1080 will spike up to around 850-900
Unreal price for a card that is more than 2 years old, saying that looking at the 2070 performance vs price, the risk of price increase for the 10-series is very plausible.
Although it makes sense for a price spike in the 10xx series, we also do have to bear in mind there is an oversupply of them in the market currently due to the miscalculation of the crypto boom. At this point I'd say it's anyone's guess which way the prices go.
Looking at eBay and Amazon, I think the 1080/1080Ti supplies are dwindling, well priced good models are mostly out of stock/discontinued.
Don't say that! I'm holding out in hope the 1080Ti goes down in price.
Haha! I guess if you wait long enough you will see the prices coming down further but on the other end prices will move up when supplies dwindles.
IMO, RTX prices are not coming down soon making the 10 series very attractive and because RTX prices are not coming down soon the chances of 10 series prices coming down further until the whole series runs out is pretty slim.
The price for this card is quite overclocked in itself
It feels like I have been waiting forever for a big discount. Paying MSRP 2 years after release is now a "good" thing.
Should we just accept the reality of GPUs being hilariously priced forever? AMD won't have anything new for quite some time.
Sucks to pay this much for a 2 years old card but I reckon once the 10 series runs out, we will be stuck with overinflated RTX prices which will sucks even more unfortunately. The other unfortunate thing is that AMD doesn't have anything to counter nvidia in 1440p and 2160p segment :(
ummm Vega 64
Yeah, Vega 64 is tempting but it uses a bit more power than GTX 1080, FreeSync monitors are cheaper as well.
Does anyone have an opinion which of these cards would be quietest? Wouldn't mind spending a few extra dollars if worthwhile.
Blech, all three out of stock
GTX 1080 supplies are starting to dwindle. All the premium 'quiet cards' with nice coolers are probably going to be very difficult to find, or expensive to purchase.
You can get a MSI Armor for $648 or EVGA Superclocked for $660. In terms of cooler performance, both are likely going to be equal, but not as good as some of the higher tier stuff like MSI Gaming X, ASUS Strix or EVGA SC2.
Eek! Which one is "better"? I'm inclined to get the MSI because it appears a lot shorter and I'm partial to smaller cases but if there's any compelling performance factors to consider…
@jonathonsunshine: MSI Armor cooler is not very good, EVGA has better cooler and better customer service as far as I know but you pay $12 more ;)
@ganymede: Better cooler how? I'm not planning on going to 4k anytime soon so with vsync enabled, I'm hoping I won't actually have to max out the cards performance often.
I may or may not have already bought the MSI…
@jonathonsunshine: Seeing as you wanted the MSI because of it appearing smaller, I hope you checked the actual dimensions. The MSI is a fat bastard and is both wider and longer than the EVGA.
@TheContact: Do you mean the cards in the OP (sold out) or the ones Scrimshaw suggested in response to me?
MSI Card 279 x 140 x 37 mm
EVGA Card - 266.7mm x 111 x ?
Either way, I'll be ok, it's gonna fit my case, and if the fans are that much bigger then hopefully theyll run quieter which is a bigger concern for me.
I'm just happy to be rejoining the PC master race.
Shipped from Sydney yesterday at 5pm, any chance it will get to Brisbane today? Spend the weekend playing Ring of Elysium (free on steam, pubg clone, look awesome)
Been waiting for a 1080 ti, but this is so tempting.
