And in my opinion, is outrages,
The Australian Pricing for the GTX 1080 is here
May 27, 2016
Pricing for the GeForce GTX 1080 Graphics Cards has finally been revealed and Australians are expected to pay around $1179-$1199 AUD depending on brand.
The models listed first are the Founder’s Cards – which is the new name for the reference models. Third-party models are coming at a later date which are expected to be cheaper than the new Founder’s Editions.
Here’s the pricing breakdown for each model from Mwave.com.au:
MSI GTX 1080 Founders Edition – $1179
ASUS GTX 1080 Founders Edition – $1199
Gigabyte GTX 1080 Founders Edition – $1199
EVGA GTX 1080 Founders Edition – $1179
The USD pricing for the cards were announced for $699 USD for the GTX 1080 Founders Edition which equates to about $968 AUD when directly converted. Big difference but this has always been expected with IT products in Australia. The cards are available for purchase from 11PM AEST tonight from selected IT retailers.

Or are they just protecting the price of the 900 series. They've dropped considerably but nowhere near what they would have if the 1080 had of been priced according to the exchange rate. Not that I'm ever going to afford either of course..... ;D ;D ;D

But that's why the 900 series was priced so high in the first place. ;)

I held off, just ordered a new desktop but will wait to see the price of the 1070 and then the hybrid cards. Thinking I will go with the 1070 until the titan comes out.
New desktop is purely to drive the oculus and is a beast, so definitely going add a latest gen gpu, but $1200 is insane for a reference card.

Amd are doing a paper release at computex 31st of may, i am hoping the 490x will be on par with fury x, this should drop the price of the 1080 as fury x is on par with 980ti. I am going red team this gen as i have no plans for rift and already bought a freesync monitor.

Do you guys really feel you need this level of gfx power? I mean I could drive 3x24 screens (1200px height, 7mp) with 2x970's with ease (AC running at 100-150fps). A UHD monitor is 8.3 mp so it'll be about the same. Unless you run 3x UHD screens (why?!?) you don't need these cards. Plus, I'm not sure what CPU power you need to actually drive it properly...probably a lot. :)

Exactly! I stop being fascinated by the infamous"pc upgrade" long time ago.These cards are a completely waste of money and time

I'm gonna wait until the "GTX1080ti hybrid" (or whatever they call it) comes out before I look at upgrading. ;D

Wise as i think the 1080 is having a few heat issues.
Now Bird and Simone, your opinion of what I buy is non of my business ;D

ur an evil man Glen :P
I am EVGA fan over the other brands... :)

Keep in mind this is pricing for the "Founders" edition, which from memory was about US$100 more expensive.
The rest is "Australia tax". Seriously though, I think the 1070 is the card to get, but I'd be waiting until AMD release their next gen cards and we should see prices start to fall along with early adopters no longer keeping those prices sustainable.

"Lurker Alert", "Lurker Alert"!
I will be waiting for a good price for a curved screen that is the equivalent of triples, then upgrade. But we will all benefit from the fight for this round of new generation cards, waiting for the dust to settle...
PS Howdy GB

GPU utilization only sitting at 51% for AMD.
Thats RX480 8GB in crossfire sitting just below the 1080, still cheaper than one 1080. I think AMD have done some real development with GPU's.
