Really Nvidia, Really?

Okay okay i know its not their fault but in germany the 1060 FE is €319 with most custom cards coming up at 970 prices corca. €350.

 

i guess i shouldn't complain but this has lead me to a dilema of which card is best. Has anybody found a comparison of the different ones? also what are you thoughts on the european 1060 prices.

 

Thank you.

Slovakia here.

Cheapest 1060 I found is from Palit for €295

ASUS one is at €310.

Cheapest RX480 is €270

 

Unless there are non reference RX480 the GTX 1060 is no brainer.

I am actually very surprised that it is not almost €400.

I could be just stupid but I'm seeing GTX 1060s go for €279 in mindfactory.de

you should see the price gouging in the US. US prices arent any better, if anything, compared to relative income and purchasing power, the US prices are way worse

There are cards for 280€ though. I don't know anyways why you would want to go with FE but they said MSRP of FE 1060 would be 299$ if I am not mistaken so 319€ is (more I know but still) not that bad in my opinion. While stuff like that could never be cheap enough obviosuly I do expect the card to lower in prices a bit once the "I need one right now" buyers are saturated.

I would go with either MSI or Asus though since I'm thinking about doing that aswell but I'm still going to wait till winter at least.

i know the prices are alright but it does get rather tiring that GPUs in Germany are more expensive than th ones in the us even if the euro is stronger than the usd.

I do agree with that. I would love them all to be sub 300€.

they should go down to 300-320 by autumn/winter this year, unless they perform some sort of market crash miracle like the 1070.

Well there are taxes and VAT that you need to include. Everything in EU is 20% more expencive than in US. At least for PC hardware.

Mindfactory have gtx 1060 for 280€.

yeah im supriesed you can still get your hands on one, i geuss after the RX480 not too many people would've gone for a 1060 tat quickly.

In Romania the cheapest GTX 1060 you can buy right now is about €360 and the RX 480 (8GB) is about €290!

Prices are broken everywhere except US and maybe Canada (maybe).

No idea why prices are going up so much really, bring back the glory days, HD 4870.

i think only tom hanks would buy 2 1080s and then comment on prices for the 1060.

Because people (are forced to) pay it. That's the problem.

Got mine delivered minutes ago for 281€. Of course they are hopelessly sold out by now... Czech Republic.

Hmmm  well yeah I'm a bit P@*$?!! with pricing on most of the cards here in Australia!

Retail pricing in the major Computer store for Perth;

1080 is $1139-1279

1070 is $739-899

1060 is $589-489

RX480 is $369-469

980Ti is $689 for a Gigabyte Windforce as a comparison and a MSI 390 was $449.

Will be scary to see what the pricing will be on the top tier cards from both vendors at the end of this year, I was hoping to perhaps get a HBM2 card of some description, and I could afford it, just couldn't bring myself to waste that much money on a gpu.
