Keepa.
Was it all existing 10 series cards? I thought only the 1080 got an official RRP drop (to $499).
1070 got a cut too, to $349. I'll wait until it settle down.
Ta, I must have missed that in the news. :)
Awesome prices, not sure if they reflect the new pricing as announced yesterday at GDC as noted in comment above though. Just FYI - I bought the EVGA GTX 1080 SC as above from Amazon France a few months ago when it was ~820 AUD or so shipped, and after a lot of back and forth they refused to give me the game redemption codes (Gears of War 4 was the game at the time) as Amazon was not a participating retailer with the Nvidia promotion in Australia. Granted most of the back and forth was me trying to get one of their staff to actually look at my case instead of just giving me a bogus ETA and fobbing me off. I did try to redeem my serial number directly on the EVGA website but it said it was not a valid serial number, and further investigation on how the promotion works with Amazon suggested that Amazon themselves are supposed to send you a code. No regrets as the card itself performs more than admirably but if the free game redemption is tempting you to jump on this, be warned that you'll likely be in for a fight if my experience is anything to go by. Perhaps worth using a UK address and pretending you're in the UK for code redemption purposes?
I had this same issue with my evga 1070 bought in September. I solved it by emailing EVGA themselves. They then sent me the code a day or two later after providing the serial number and receipt photocopy.
Lucky - I emailed EVGA themselves also but got told by EVGA that Amazon was not a participating reseller:

Your Answer:
Dear Valued Customer
Sorry , Amazon is not NV bundle retail store, and NV won't offer the game code.
Thank you
EVGA Customer Service Center
This was in November however so probably after the game bundles in September/October Amazon was no longer a participating store.
Amazon France isn't a participating retailer. I think Amazon US is.
@toxicdav3: Sorry I wasn't very clear - At the time Amazon France had the same promotion showing on their website, but the reason they gave me for not sending me a code is that Australia wasn't eligible for the offer. After over a month of hassling I decided Gears of War 4 wasn't worth the hassle so I gave up.
Wow sorry to hear that mate. I bought it from U.S Amazon, which may be why it had worked out.
The GTX 1080 Ti is coming next week and it's the best GTX 1080 in terms of power.
I wouldn't buy this one without seeing how much the new one is.
PLE had pre-orders at $1200. (profanity). THAT.
PLE can eat a bag of D..ks
ducks?
Yeah, but at the same time isn't that around where the 1080 launched? Internet archive shows PCCG selling them for $1199 a couple months after launch.

still WAY to much for a graphics card. I don't think there is any point buying a nVidia card before the AMD Vega cards are released. Worst case is that Vega doesn't offer anythng to compete and nVidia prices remain high. Opposite case is Vega is awesome and nVidia price has to Plummet.
@Todes Angst: Oh yeah, don't get me wrong I'm not saying it's a good thing, just that it's where the initial price point was a year ago. Pretty sure most retailers were around that mark.
I'm surprised AMD didn't announce anything Vega yesterday (apart from the name) - they had a real shot to disrupt the NV dominance and … well, they AMD'd it. Some saying that's intentional since they knew the 1080ti would be announced same day, but NV didn't schedule their conference until after the C&C event was already scheduled.

Or they would've been drowned out by the nVidia launch. I'm glad they held off, it was the smart thing to do. They just shouldn't hold off for too much longer.
Yeah but that's what I'm saying, NV only booked their announcement for the same day as AMD after the Capsaicin & Cream event was already locked in. AMD would have already known what they were announcing and I'm not sure they would have changed what they presented simply because NV confirmed that the 1080ti announcement would be 8 hours later.
Maybe they did, maybe I'm not giving AMD enough credit for seeing a risk of being drowned out and altering course. I don't know. I just think they need to move quickly to get Vega specs and release dates out once the news cycle moves on.
(I should also clarify, I want Vega to succeed. If they announce a good card at a good price point I will buy it, but they need all the traction they can get at this point.)
1080ti, probably will have 30% more power then a 1070 anyway.
my 1070 always gets over 60+ FPS on AAA games at Very High and Ultra at times at 1440p
no point upgrading until it drops under the 60FPS mark.
if you just compare speed the 1080 is already 25% faster than the 1070, the 1080ti will be even faster than that. And yes you need the correct monitor to even make use of it, this is a given in todays high end GPU
Nvidia press release of the 1080ti yesterday showed a 30% increase between the 1080ti and 1080 in benchmarks across the board.
Their catch phrase this generation is that it's the biggest performance increase a Ti card has ever seen.
Nvidia are saying 25% more power than an OG GTX 1080 so significantly more powr than that. And 120 FPS is a better target to aim for with 90FPS getting most of the improvement if you have adaptive refresh.
(profanity) that, especially with the new price updates coming soon AND AMD's new VEGA coming.
AyyMD baaabbyyy!
Nvidia in GDC 2017 announces price drop for all existing 10 series card. That price seems to be still old price?
1080 is now 499 USD which is around 650 AUD.
Wait for the price to update before buying
