Isn't the 980Ti a flat out better card though?

Mine is I would think, it's a EVGA FTW that boosts to 1400mhz. It's mostly for the much lower power consumption and the fact that there was 1 left in stock ready to ship. I should probably just step up to whatever EVGA SC/FTW there is.

One wonders if the yield issues with the Strix has resulted in a panic 'not reference but not overclocked in any way' product.

Mario wasn't sure if this Jeb guy was a good influence on Yoshi.

I'd be pleasantly surprised if the 480 could do that well overclocking, it doesn't really need to to be a good card that fits well in its price bracket. However, models that can crank the volts and clocks and go to the moon would explain Lisa talking about $100-300 even though the 8 GB version is 250 or less. Either that or preempting NV pricing.

That says either parametric yield issues or that they just want something to fit in the bottom of the price range without cannibalizing their factory OC models.

This is the first time I'm on the first row during a GPU launch and frankly I'm not enjoying it.

I saw this last night but wasn't sure if I wanted to post more unsubstantiated FUD, but...

quote:

Now we've had an industry source tell us that there won't be a huge flood of GeForce GTX 1080 cards, from all partners, until late July or even early August. This makes sense, but it also means that the price gouging that is happening now, will continue - and could even get worse. The EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 FTW ACX 3.0 is selling for $1999 on Amazon right now, which is absolutely nuts.

Anyways, I'm right there with you. I'm remembering one of the reasons I don't buy these things as frequently as I imagine myself doing sometimes.

you can't complain about data collection AND cortana being useless. the function of anything like cortana or siri or "ok google" is reliant on data collection. people have this doom and gloom idea that microsoft is collecting user data for the sole purpose of I guess selling it to advertisers? and that's just silly and ignores how software works in 2016.

Yes can I get a normal screenshot of Tracer's rear end with the 970 then the same screenshot with the 1080 using ansel at 51 million pixels ? I'm interested to see how many more pixels that is, and can you put that in a bar graph

I finally managed to at least get a backorder in on an EVGA 1070 ACX3.0 off Amazon this morning. Dunno when I'm actually going to get it, but at least it takes some of the pressure off sniping listings on Newegg for the 2 minutes they show up.

The 1080 non-FE nowinstock seems a bit like an illusion, at least for me. I get nowinstock notifications constantly for G1s, but they are either sold out when I get to the site or removed from my cart almost instantly. I think they are listing very small quantities of stock. I could probably set up visualping or distill I guess. The only thing that I've seen hang around for a while was that MS card at $720, which was available for an hour and a half or so.

The 1080 stock is nuts. It's like others have said here. If you aren't there at the moment it becomes available and have your login details and your payment details saved then you likely aren't getting it. I was somehow able to buy a Gigabyte 1080 G1 during a lull at work last night even though it isn't my preferred choice. I even saw the Strix in stock but the moment I added it to my cart it was OOS. For some reason I didn't get a text alert about this and only noticed it because I had missed out during another G1 stock alert that was gone in less than a minute.

Take a look the history around 8:00 PM EST last night - I got my mind set on a 1080 and have been stalking a bunch of sites for a few days or week or whatever now and the best batch I've seen yet came in then. Newegg put up a few batches of the $650 gaming model and one batch seemed to stay up for 15-20 minutes, by far the longest I've seen orders stick on there. I heard a ding on the Strix model at Newegg and successfully placed an order, seemed like a 5 minute or so window it was available. I wanted a ~$590 cheapest as possible model but the craziness around supply and a Rift sitting here unused drove me to it. gently caress Nvidia for doing the ~*Founders*~ pricing cause whatever their reasons there's no way it didn't help spike the prices on these things. First time for me to not just buy the $100-200 model from a generation or two back though so this is gonna be prettty :pcgaming:

I think the $1800 1080s would have happened either way just due to the supply constraints.

Considering its the only $200 new card available, and looking at the benches (good), remember past releases (not good, although for wildly various reasons), perhaps mix in financial considerations for a large pre-release inventory on a new process ...

I wouldn't be shocked if availability was low

Trade, sir! Discover it! This is you, this is a clue. Get a clue, discover trade!
Ended up getting the 1080 FTW yesterday and played around with it. Overclocking, I was able to get it stable at 2050 Mhz, with no artifacts. The card stays cool really easily though, and even when the fans do turn on they are pretty quiet. Using this with the Rift is simply a dream, no choppiness at all, and I never dropped below 60 frames on Elite Dangerous with max settings.

I think I need a new case though, since the card just BARELY fits in length wise (it's actually touching the drivebays), and I have a old case with non-removable drive bays.

I think that nowinstock uses polling that's not as frequent as you might expect. Or maybe it takes a while to dispatch all the notifications. PEople have mentioned seeing visualping notifications minutes before getting the text or mail from nowinstock.

E: Also this evga acx 3.0 1070 just went up for preorder on Amazon:

Its kind of sad, the G1 was one of the premium marked up model last time around. They didn't change the price difference this time, but its now basically the cheapest on 1070s. I wonder if AIBs are price gouging on 1070s due to FE msrp or if the chips just cost too much to make the more traditional pricepoints (since it doesn't appear to be the case for the 1080s)

If yields are actually this bad, they should probably have a 1060ti waiting as a response to the RX 480 that's made up of a larger amount of runt GP104s, that is, if the chip would actually run with that many disabled components.
