1060 Price

[sazrocks]

Since the 1080/1070 aftermarket cards are selling for significantly higher than msrp, is it likely that the 1060 will have the same problem?

[HKZeroFive]

If there's a lack of supply and high levels of demand like we saw in the launches of the GTX 1070/1080, don't expect prices to be close to that $249 MSRP. At this point of time, it's very likely for that happen.

 

The fact that there's also a Founders Edition doesn't help either.

So does that mean I should get a card on launch day before the prices go up or am I completely wrong?

there likely wont be aftermarket cards at launch (like the 1070/1080 launch), so the only cards you could get would be founder edition $299 cards

It will probably be impossible to get one in launch day. If you manage to find them in stock, they'll be the overpriced Founders Edition at $300.

According to Anand Tech the aftermarket cards will be available on the 19th. http://www.anandtech.com/show/10474/nvidia-announces-geforce-gtx-1060-july-19

May I remind you that the embargo on the review of this card ends on 19th July, so you should NOT base your purchase decision on marketing material. Wait for the official benchmark.

Since it's a mid range card, there should be a much bigger stock.

 

...right?

Anyone who pays a lot for the 1060 is a moron. It's the lowest Pascal card at the moment and we don't really know where the card lies vs the 970/980 and RX 480 besides a few early rumors. I would trust the reviews that hit really close to the launch date but not the early ones.

 

At the moment, we all know the Titan P and 1080 Ti are coming so why anyone pays more for ANY of the Pascal cards from this moment on would be fools. You don't have the benefit of bragging rights anymore saying you just bought the 1070 or 1080 and the 1060 is supposed to be the "budget" card. I just can't fathom paying $300 for a card when the 980 Ti will beat it for $399 or heck $350 used.

Here in Italy there's a specific shop that sells custom 1070s at 460-80, and founders at 450€.

Yes. Blame founders edition. All but one aftermarket 1080/1070 are above FE price in my country. The 1060 will probably follow the trend
