NVIDIA Cuts Price of its GeForce GTX 1080 Graphics Card: $499

In the wake of its $699 GeForce GTX 1080 Ti enthusiast-segment graphics card launch, NVIDIA lowered the pricing of its previous GeForce "Pascal" flagship, the GeForce GTX 1080, which is now down to USD $499, from its launch price of $599 (custom-design baseline pricing). The GTX 1070 is unflinched for now, from its $349 baseline pricing. This launch should turn up the heat on AMD, with its HBM-powered Radeon RX Vega pricing, much in the same way the GTX 980 Ti steered pricing of the Radeon R9 Fury X.

newtekie1And none of them even came close to $800.
as per country... yep ... never ... or ... just where you live ... because for me :

around 900$ in Switzerland for any good custom 1080 ....

yep ... even a PNY 1080 FE is around 800$ .... soooooo 499$... dreams are nice ... even my 1070 did cost a little more than that where i live ...

Vega will certainly cover that part of the market.
Likely in May.
And that without hidden taxes on adaptive sync.

Plenty of GTX 1080's hitting eBay too at good prices as well, the 1080 Ti upgrade rush has already begun!

But then the GTX 1080 will be a year old by the time Vega finally shows up.

newtekie1I'm not entirely sure what you're talking about. Because the 1080 has been available for under $600 for a while now.

I mean, the eVGA GTX1080 FTW has been below $600 since back in January: camelcamelcamel.com/EVGA-GeForce-Support-Graphics-08G-P4-6286-KR/product/B01GAI64GO

And the Gigabyte GTX1080 could be picked up below $600 all the way back in November: camelcamelcamel.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-GV-N1080G1-GAMING-8GD-Graphics/product/B01GJEE9BG

Same thing with this Zotac: camelcamelcamel.com/ZOTAC-ZT-P10800C-10P-Wraparound-Ultra-wide-PowerBoost/product/B01GCAVRSU

And none of them even came close to $800.
Yes, because everybody in the world lives in United States of America....
