I thought 3rd part cards were supposedly cheaper than the MSRPs .... an ASUS STRIX 1080 goes for just under 1000$ usd and the 1070s are priced as a 1080??? what gives.. and will prices ever go down this year???
Supply and Demand. I am actually not sure if prices will ever reach declared $599 MSRP this year. Maybe around 800$... Knowing how many 1080/70 in market and in produciton might get the right price number. 980Ti prices are keep falling down. I actually considering getting 980Ti around 350-400$ if prices not gonna stabilize soon. (If they don't stabilize soon, they won't stabilize much later unless AMD brings killer card) In my country it takes around 3 months before prices start to drop. http://kakaku.com/item/K0000697812/pricehistory/ http://kakaku.com/item/K0000697809/pricehistory/ So yeah, grab itch spray and pray
