MSI 1080 Gaming X Pricing

[vladonizer]

This pricing I found on newegg is higher then I expected, hopefully it won't stay up there as demand goes down. Still going to get it either way though

What a joke, $720 for that piece of shit?

Supply & Demand

 

Initial prices will be high until supplies can keep up with demand and the "newness" wears off.  Give it a few months and it will likely come down to match the other non-reference OC'ed cards.

For what I want its good. I want a card that stays cool and quiet under, and that looks good. I'm not as interested in overclocking it as I am my cpu.

Agreed, going to wait till it drops into the $600's before I buy it. Since I still gotta get other parts for my new rig

 

Edit: The EVGA cards do look better for the money, I just can't bring myself to buy a graphics card that IMO is ugly

[Gerr]

Don't hold your breath on $600, I could see it dropping to $650-$680, but not to the base $599 price point.

I said $600's. I know it won't be $600, I was already thinking $650-$690

[Gerr]

ah, my bad.

jesus, how much are they gonna charge for the Gaming Z? 

 

750? hybrid cards are going to be comparable at that price.

It will probably go down after a month or 2, it will probably get to the 980ti prices as they go down

Is any of the cards going to be priced  anywhere near the MSRP ? More than $100 over the announced price is BS

EVGA's ACX 3.0 card is $620, as is Asus' Strix. They also have versions of both cards with factory OCs for $650. EVGA's blower 1080 is $610.

Yeah. I think buying whatever is cheapest will probably net the best results. 

 

Doesn't look like the OC"s are scaling well anyways - and it also looks like extra power and phase control is just a waste of money.

That's good to know. If by any chance you know of any place that sells those at that price in Arizona (or perhaps on a website, I don't mind ordering online), I'm interested!

Board partners cards are the same or even more expensive then the FE in europe while in the US they are cheaper then the FE

We got screwed 2 times 

FE is 909 dollars and board partners are 965 dollars ... (799/849euro)

Newegg is notorious for price gouging new cards. That $720 is in no way real. I bet the X version will be $649 and the Z at $679 once more widely available.

 

Another thing, Amazon prices are not from Amazon direct, they're from scalpers. There's dickwads that buy these cards to sell them $100-200 dollars more. I can't stand fuckers like that.

That sounds about right on the pricing

Newegg has the EVGA SC for $650 and the EVGA ACX 3.0 for $620, but they're out of stock. You'll have to keep checking the site over and over though, as they sell out really fast.

The EVGA cards are all listed at the EVGA MSRP by newegg. The Gigabyte G1 Gaming 1080 is $650 at newegg. The MSI Gaming X would be the only one they're price gouging on if so.

I just find it hard to believe that MSI is going to overprice themselves out of their competition. Who is going to pay $720 for MSI when you can get AIB cards anywhere from $50-100 dollars cheaper.

The first poster in this thread said he'd buy it for $720.

That would be me. I'm the person to pay more for getting exactly what I wanted, but it does seem a bit weird for them to make a lot of people buy the cheaper versions

I'd be willing to bet most people would go for the cheaper solutions over 1 person sample. MSI card is not some god card, it is (to me) not worth spending over better alternatives. Hell, for that much I'd rather get a Classified, not some overpriced mid range MSI card.

 

Regardless, it's moot. It's not going to launch at that price once available.

Probably 90% or more would go for the cheaper solution

Makes you wonder what they are going to want for the 1080Ti's when they come out.
