I'm interested in seeing performance vs price compared to the current GTX 9-series offerings. Might upgrade for my Vve if it's good enough

 

[Laquer Head]

I see some claimed GTX 1080 futuremark benches, but since they all say "GPU not recognized" I bet they are probably legit, but cant verify

Here is one that indicates a gtx 1080

Yea Hexus was had a post on the benchmarks. Looks like the 1080 is faster than the 980 ti.

God help us all when they announce pricing..

Relax guys, its probably going to cost as much as when the 980 first came out.

Which was, a shit ton. The 980 MSRP was like $550

As long as it's not getting a Titan price sticker... I'm ok with that.

Ya'll are in the wrong thread if you want an affordable GPU.

Man, I wish that was CAD$, here the 980 is still $700

I'll sell you my 980 Ti and I'll get a 1080

 

[Intel_man]

980 Ti is ~ $800 on sale at ncix

thats actually shocking, given that its finally nearly a proper exchange with todays exchange rate US to CAD

 

[Intel_man]

A quick glance at newegg is $560 US for a 980 Ti which equates to ~$720 CAD.

Keep in mind, we're still better off than most of Europe when it comes to PC prices.

I'm partial to the mountains in Alberta, but my love for all of Western Canada is strong.
