EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 SC 3.0 8GB [Inc EVGA Global Warranty] for $543.95 USD (~ $718 AUD) Delivered @ Amazon

So the price drops are starting to hit the 1080 family as we prepare for the 1080ti to hit retail. This is not the cheapest 1080 on the market (see the 3 MSI deals currently posted for those) but it is the cheapest EVGA which comes with that peace-of-mind-inducing global warranty.

Note: Price is converted using Google currency converter. Amazon currency conversion works out at $744.12 which is no longer more than NewEgg's AU price.
