Posted May 27, 2016 The UK price of a reference 980 at launch was £430, the 980ti launched at £530, the 1080 "founders edition card" (aka the reference card) is £630. Now it seems the partner cards will be cheaper but even so they seem to be setting the prices higher than a ti class card (at launch) and insanely higher than the usual price for a 980 class card (at launch). Edit : Partner cards prices just came out at £570 and above. Just crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 27, 2016 Don't bother with the 1080 and 1070. Pick us a used 980/980Ti for cheap in a few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted May 27, 2016 Not just the UK mate. Australia has it rough too. Founders Edition 1080 cost as much as aftermarket 980 Ti's when they came out, that's like $300au more than the 980's. Price increase is ridiculous for what it is supposed to replace.

Nope, they have the reg 1080s up for preorder.https://www.overclockers.co.uk/pc-components/graphics-cards/nvidia/geforce-gtx-1080?sPage=1&sSort=3 And for the US it seems to be a lot better, $699 Founders = £639 in the UK (when the actual conversion should be more like £477) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 27, 2016 I'm not exactly sure why NVidia set the price so high in the UK and lower everywhere else in Europe. You can save a bit by purchasing from other Amazon websites, although note that no matter what they're shipped from Germany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
