It also has a younger brother, too, the slightly less gutsy GTX 1070. What’s more surprising than these cards’ relative performance, though, is just how not expensive they are.The new GeForce GTX 1080 has a $US599 recommended retail price, much cheaper than most fans were expecting. In Australia, we can reasonably expect that to translate into an Australian retail price of around $900, although there will likely be an early adopter’s tax on top of that too.That’s still an expensive card, sure, but given the circa-$1200 retail prices of the GTX 980 Ti, Titan family and AMD’s top Radeon Fury X cards, it’s a big drop.The release date, too, is sooner than expected — May 27th will see cards released “around the world” according to Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang. There’s a specially-binned Founder’s Edition card coming too, with a $US100 more expensive RRP and “crazy overclockable” design according to the chipmaker.If that price is too much for your wallet to bear, there’s also a slightly lesser Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 with around two thirds’ the GTX 1080’s performance, and a $US379 recommended retail price and a $US449 Founder’s Edition. That card will be out around the world by June 10th.

Given the R&D costs in to these chipsets I would imagine that you will be fine with one of these. It's their biggest investment to date in to GPU and related hardware.
