Weird 980Ti UK price?

So I was looking at the reviews for the 980Ti and saw that in the US it's price is around $650. I then saw that this translates roughly into £430 which is really weird due to the fact that the cheapest normal 980 on scan is £427 http://www.scan.co.uk/products/4gb-msi-gtx-980-4gd5-ocv1-pcie-30-7010mhz-gddr5-gpu-1152mhz-boost-1252mhz-cores-2048-dp-hdmi-dvi

So is this going to mean that the 980Ti is the same price as the regular one? Or will Nvidia bump the price upto around £500-£600?

GTX 980 is $549 in the US, which is roughly 500 euro's. The 980 retails for 630+ ($700) in the Netherlands. Sucks to be us.

US prices are without tax. so you have to add that too.

Ahh right, but then wouldn't it still be cheaper to import it from the US

Sadly it doesnt work like that Ben. If its $650 for us its going to be £600

No. Import tax + shipping charge. Plus warrently.

 

Gigabyte is the best for us UK boys as they have a base here.

Most likely not, because of all the import rates and the shipping in general.

Surely import tax isn't like £100 though?

You got to play extra 20% of worth of item, then additonal 2%. Then you have to pay shipping... So yes over 100 mate.

 

If you want to buy a GPU there are many cheaper options.

I'm more interested in the UK 980 price-drop. I've been hearing rumours that they could be getting down as low as £300...which means I need to return my unopened 970 asap!

Nah they would pop it too 360 or something because that would kill the 970 :P
