I think your neg is maybe over the top, but your sentiment is spot on.
Buying a $720 1080 now seems VERY far from a bargain today.
Except that a 2070 is $900, not $710. Also we don't have any real benchmarks, just relative claims from NVIDIA. We won't know how they really perform until the reviews come out.
Isn't that exactly his point though? Wait to see what the new cards are like before dropping heavy coin on an older model.
The quoted aftermarket price was starting at US $499, aka AU $750 after GST. Yeah, shelf price will be higher, but this is with a discount code.
And mate, please go to /r/nvidia if you honestly think 60% extra silicon and 2 years of development for the Volta/Turing platform was completely smoke and mirrors.
https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2018/08/22/geforce-rtx-60-fps-…
There's now a performance graph similar to what was shown in the 10-series debut. Wait for benchmarks by all means (you'd have to anyway), but understand the changes in the tech before you neg me for telling someone not to call this a bargain.
That's a 2080 in that graph.
Considering it's going to cost more than a 1080ti at its minimum rrp it seems a bit disingenuous to compare it to a 1080@Lief1250: The Ti is typically released 9-11 months after launch (they previously released a Titan card at series launch, but have just opted to label it the Ti this time), so there's absolutely nothing disingenuous about it, and it's 20% better than the 1080ti bare minimum based on the performance values coming through.
AI optimisations/performance hacks and async compute can drive that value up to 80%. People are looking at CUDA core counts and not understanding what's changed.
So what will likely happen next year is the entire line down to about the 2060 will drop to down to compete with the single Navi card AMD will be releasing, bringing the Ti to its usual price at the usual time.
EDIT: cheers for opening a discussion and then downvoting me…
@jasswolf:
2080ti launches next month. And you're right going by those numbers the 2080 should be faster than the 1080ti,so why didn't Nvidia choose to compare it to that? That's what I was talking about.
Also I didnt down vote you.@Lief1250: then someone literally downvoted me inside a minute, what a day….
It's important to remember that the launch is also a reveal to investors, plus it's blurred by their internal enthusiasm about raytracing and its possibilities.
Given that machine learning enhancements are not consistent from game to game (kind of like FPS from scene to scene), plus the performance hit of raytracing where used, it's really tough to throw around a single number, so they gave a pretty solid explanation, plus throwing some raytracing numbers around.
Truthfully, they're 60% larger GPUs at a slightly higher density, but the performance boost minimum generation to generation looks to be 40%. What's important to remember though is that this 40% means neither the developers or NVIDIA put in zero work to optimise, and it's not using a game engine with async compute support (such as a genuine DX12 game, or Vulkan).
@Lief1250: No self respecting person would believe a 1st party benchmark, don't be such an easily duped muppet.
This is literally the comments section
Downvote all you want mate, this isn't reddit.
Every time a computer component is posted here, you always find a way to talk crap about it or recommend some other rubbish part - we get it, you're an expert because you spend way too much time researching parts.
@Lorindor: I'm not scribbling over the deal with texta, I'm providing context for anyone who wants to read the comments section.
When you downvote someone because they have a negative opinion of what's presented instead of when they are outright wrong or inflammatory, you're defeating the entire point of the system.
If you ever want to talk about how or where I have personally affronted you, you can PM me, otherwise get lost.
I don't care if someone has an opinion, but must you post on every CPU/GPU deal that's posted here with something negative?
Also, you're calling the kettle black with your remark about negative votes.
The 1080 Ti has been price dropped to $599usd. Take what you will from that (lots? Nothing? Who knows!)
$450 USD for a 1080 on newegg.
Before GST and delivery which is somewhere from $100-$200. Plus ROG is always more expensive than other, Asus is considered "premium".
Gonna try this again from a different tact because of the absolute madness that is downvoting on this place at the moment.
Baseline GTX 1080 cards have been going for about AU $535 (GST inc) in the USA, and similar high-end cooling models are going for about $600.
This is a rip off.
Link to GTX 1080 at AU $535.
Thanks.
My bad, it was $560 and $630 inc GST, but both deals are sold out.
EVGA's official ebay store is where I'm quoting, but there have been better deals via Amazon.
but there have been better deals via Amazon.
Which is no longer available to Australia, so what's your point?
@Lorindor: you do realise some of these items have been listed on the AU store and eligible for free international shipping via Prime, yes?
Jog on.
@Lorindor: https://reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/
Browse at your leisure. You won't be getting a reply from me in the future.
I assume you have actual examples of some of these items that have been listed on Amazon AU, either posted here or otherwise?
That is BEFORE GST and delivery. I bought my GTX 1080 from Amazon US 2 years ago, thankfully that was below $1,000 so no GST at that point. Delivery was actually dirt cheap, U$16.
@Bigboomboom: it was before delivery only, I factored in tax.
I don't think it's reasonable to call this a sale price when we're paying a further $80-$100 on top of shipping costs.
@jasswolf: The cheapest GTX 1080 atm is U$409 or A$560, which is the Blower FE. That is BEFORE GST. ASUS is well known as "premium" brand and is usually more expensive.
@Bigboomboom: that's because the bulk of the remaining stock has already run out the door, and these guys have slid in after that trying to get some desperate purchases.
It's predatory and reflects their pricing tactics.
At lot of things sell for less in the USA, that's just plain economics my friend.
I have a degree in economics, and that's not what's happening here.
It's pretty straight forward to see that there is an additional margin being slapped on above and beyond import costs and tariffs.
Wouldn't economics tell you to slap on a margin when there is uncertainty in foreign currency translations?
@Risto: And that should be a further 10%+ in an industry that traditionally works with profit margins of 5-10%?
Even when the crypto craze ended, companies like this one (and it was tried a bit globally too) were trying to shift that number to 20%, and it seems you're happy to accept that now.
@jasswolf: Just saying slapping 20% is also economics. Take a look at fuel prices as an example. Am I happy about it, no, but we are talking economics here. cheers
@Risto: And here I am making some noise about disparity and getting downvoted for it and rallied against on a bargain website. All the best.
If an individual can buy an item from overseas with shipping costs included than going into a store over here, its a (profanity) ripoff, you sound like a sissy.
Mate this isn't Oz-"Best bargain there has ever been"-Bargain. If you can show a better deal, kindly share us a link and prove this deal a bust. Otherwise, pipe down.
This would be better with a sitewide code, and the base model for theirs has been about 10% cheaper than that before codes.
The ICX version has also been priced around that via Amazon when on sale (which has happened several times in the last fortnight). I believe that's been on AU, but stock and items linked to the US store disappear all the time so it's harder to track.
The MSY mid-year sales were way better than this. There's an extremely strong argument that this should be the regular price, but I've come to expect bullshit from Futu/Shallot/Shopping Express when it comes to GPUs, because they obviously made a bet on crypto and the 10 series launch that they've been trying to recoup.
RTX is releasing soon, better to save your money and wait imo
I looked up this same card on new egg and it is AU$795. There are cheaper 1080's on new egg yes, however I prefer asus over the cheaper quality brands.
At these prices I'd be more interested in something with a liquid or hybrid cooling solution, of which EVGA stands out if you don't want to build your own solution from a more basic card.
I believe some warranties are expanding to not let them be void if you remove the heatsink, so there's ways to save money and get great quality if you're happy to spend 10 minutes on your card before installing it.
You could grab them for $599 a few weeks ago.
Considering the 2000 series was announced on Tuesday the price is only going to drop further. Don't buy for $600+
Surely you'd wait and see how the new 2XXX series of cards will affect prices in the coming weeks?
