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 – $1179The 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.

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.....

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

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.

I am going red team this gen as i have no plans for rift and already bought a freesync monitor.

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.
