Look at this OVERPRICED SHIT

[GirlFromYonder]

All prices are in Canadian Dollars. (NCIX)

[Mohenjo]

actually, thats the exact same pricing thats in the US. 1 canda dollar is .76 usd. So 909 canada shekels equals 700 dollars, the price of a founders edition card.

What i mean is that it isnt overpriced, there giving you a 1 to 1 ratio with usd prices. if they sold it for 700 CA they would only get 535 US dollars.

Nah the 1080 is bs anyways, I am waiting for 1080ti or the top model AMD comes with.

[MadyTehWolfie]

Seems like Canada needs to either pay its workers more to keep up with inflation or get its economy back on track.

[Megahurt]

When I saw it was 700$ US, I thought it would be close to 1000 CAD, so this is better than expected. Either way, way out of what I'm willing to pay for a gpu o_O

thats not how currency conversion works

 

and 909 CAD is £472 GBP

but the price of the 1080 founders in UK is £619 GBP in the UK which is 1191 CAD or 911 USD

The CAD is not as bad as you think it is, not compared to us in the UK

 

even without 20% VAT, in the UK its £515, which is $990 CAD 

[DioOmicida]

You could, you know, just be happy with what you have?
No? ... Okay..

20% sales tax really is a bitch, isn't it?
And sadly, you guys get shafted for prices every launch. I guess it's more expensive to sell stuff there? Probably.

When a US Company that is involved in international trade says a product will cost $700 they are not speaking dollars. This is how they designate Attic talents of silver.

 

If it is being advertised in Canada as 909 CAD, buy it now before they realize their mistake (an Attic talent of silver is 26 Kg).

 

 

Yeah, yeah, I know. The US uses Attic Talents when the rest of the world uses the more modern Roman Talents. You are just going to have to accept we are not going to change and learn to deal with it.

Its 5% where I am

The main problem is companies in Canada agreeing that they should all gouge the prices because they can.

[InsanelySecretD]

Are you crazy? How fucking spoiled you North Americans are! That card will be around 600 GBP here in the UK, which is nearly 900 USD and 1200 CAD .... Srsly?
