So, I was thinking about one of these as a better pairing than my 1060 with my monitor (I had bought the 1060 first). Newegg has their presale orders up now, and the prices are ridiculous IMO:
EVGA $469
Gigabyte $489
Asus Strix $509
I love my 1060 strix, but at $509, who in the world is buying one of these? Why not just pickup a 1080?
Also as an aside, is there not a forum link on the main Anandtech page anymore? I accidentally went there instead, and figured Id just click the link. Didn't see one.
Those small SKUs xx4 are made lately only for one thing:milking.I learned lesson with GTX1070 and i will never ever buy again xx4 SKU.Only real card NV offering is 1080TI in high-end.X60 cards are also decent, but 1070 and 1080 are just milking cards nothing more.Who is going to pay $475 for a cutdown 1080 with slow RAM when you can get the real thing for $500? And no factory overclocks either on the 1070 Tis. What a joke. Between the ether boom, Vega being crap, and Nvidia still pushing Pascal instead of giving us Volta this year I'm getting pretty sick of PC gaming. I mean it was bad three years ago paying $350 for a GTX 560 equivalent in the product stack (eg cutdown midrange XX4 dies), but now paying $475 for it? I have barely even touched my PC for gaming this year after getting a PS4, PS3, and Wii U and I'll be fine without it. I'm starting to wonder if my 970 will be the last gpu I buy. I'm never going to pay these kind of prices for midrange dies.

xx4 SKUs are midrange SKUs selling as gtx460,560 and so on(200usd) in past.Today NV using them in GTX1080/1070 and charging for them 700USD(new GTX1080) thats why they are just milking cards nothing more.Lol what are you even talking about?

1080TI is only real high-end card from nv for decent price(it was 500-650usd in past) so 1080TI at 700USd have actually normal HE price.
Yes it is 40% higher price 700usd vs 500usd.But it still better than milking xx4 SKUs.They were 200USd and now nv sells them for 700USD thats 350% price increase.The big dies 80Ti equivalents were $500 back in the day of GTX 480/580. This gpu price inflation really makes me question if PC gaming is worth it. About the only way I could logically justify the price now is if you just went and pirated all your games, which is an easy option on PC but not console.
Is this targeted to miners
did nVidia just launch a box? i only see unboxing articles on several sites.
Grab one for msrp and overclock it.
I believe this will be the best price /performance card to get in a week or 2.
Less power, quieter, less heat and more performance for about the same price as it competition.
How can you go wrong?

Well its competition is a $470 Vega 56 and $580 Vega 64..Thinking you can get one for MSRP?
