probably make nachos

What are Nvidia going to do with all those returned chips?

According to leaks the RTX 2060 will surpass the 1080 even when it's overclocked "but purported tests of a GeForce GTX 2060 have the mid-range design outperforming an overclocked GTX 1080 in 3DMark tests. " Who knows if that holds true, but it's going to be an interesting week and the prices of the 10XX series should drop substantially.

The rumours suggest we won’t see the 2070 for another month after the 2080.

Tempting...but gonna wait and see what happen tomorrow..

Wish I could swap my IdeaPad i3 for this beast...

There is a great chance that the LCD is TN panel.

With new geforce cards coming, 10 series laptops are going to be this price

has a dvd drive! i7 a bit pointless really for a general machine and just puts the price up i5 and 100quid less and would have been decent but this isn't great

Anyone have any good suggestions for video/photo editing ? Thanks

Speak for yourself

Everyone's expecting the new cards in a week Everyone's going to be disappointed

Yes you’re probably right, I’m not sure what other competition there is around for £900 though as there seem to be some new models being released

Also looking at the very fx504 laptop for 900. Surely a 120hz much better ips screen, larger ssd, and 8th gen i5 are worth the extra £150 or am I wrong?

Yeah me too, want a 1060 6gb around the £700 mark

Does look as if the very one is a better screen and newer processor, both look good to me but £150 more is a lot, I’m looking for one myself at the moment, just a shame there isn’t that much choice at very

I think that's the FX503, much difference between the 2 ?

Inside source says 1180 only be 30% stronger than 1180 meaning its pointless to go for new gpu which will cost double when you can go 1080 ti as its about 25% over 1080

It's more that the pricing and seeming desperation to sell, does tally with those supposed leaked reports about Nvidia overstock issues and then wanting to sort it before dropping 11xx. It just feels like a time where buying a 1080 is fraught with risk. I'm in the market for one, but I've lasted this long now that I'll only be annoyed if the 11s are absolute dynamite or the 1080 price drops off a cliff.

When Bestbuy was around in the UK the prices were at Currys levels or higher so I doubt we would have seen those prices regardless.

Its just the Gaming version, they also have the Gamin X version for alot more https://www.scan.co.uk/products/msi-geforce-gtx-1080-gaming-x-rgb-8gb-gddr5x-vr-ready-graphics-card-2560-core-1683-mhz-gpu-1822-mhz- The only difference is a slight clock boost and can push a bit further with its built in OC mode. There is also a Gaming X + but I don't think that is available anymore.

I know it's not an apples for apples comparison, but Best Buy in America were doing weekend specials, selling 1080s below $400 a couple of days ago. It may never manifest here (doesn't help we don't have Best Buy obviously) but it may at least be indicative of where the prices with the 1080s are going sooner rather than later with the major retailers.

Now in stock at £240 on Amazon.

£240 now on Amazon, Albeit out of stock. Agreed £302 was over priced for what this is. A budget CPU in terms of brands.

the best edition ever

Just so you know this is the special edition. The ningkumpoop edition!

Even Amazon themselves are selling it £60 cheaper on the same deal page

A 1070 is capable of 4K just don't expect high fps also being in a laptop chassis will increase system temperature so performance will be significantly throttled.

Potato mode

4k gaming on 1070?

Original price was stupid and irrelevant being generous giving yourself a -12% on that deal

Just look at that new seller's storefront - loads of items at prices that indeed are too good to be true. I'm 99% sure ordering anything from that seller will result in a no-delivery and having to claim a refund as it'll be a scam.

Nope. Intel is expected to announce a whole new bunch of processors in September/October the i9 will have come down to “regular” consumer (whatever that means) in all categories, their next launch. I’m stopping myself from going for a new Desktop (long overdue, current is a decade old) till September/October. Then I could invest in current highest spec Intel (which will have been a “previous” version by then). Heat added for someone looking for now, though.

The I7 similar spec version is only £650 new from a marketplace dealer (must be a mistake surely https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B071ZPXBNS/ref=olp_twister_child?ie=UTF8&mv_size_name=0&mv_style_name=2

Kcooperman. I guess I've a rough idea but I haven't been tweaking stuff since I got my vive so most stuff is stock drivers. There's a lot of them but the main ones are the Pimax 4k/8k. Whole list of them on here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_virtual_reality_headsets Not sure if that list has the newer MR hmds on there so there could be more. I'm curious about which one you would go for between the pimax,vive pro or one of the inside out devices.

The HTC vive is low res compared to most of the new VR headsets. I'd main saving point is low POV. It's res is only 1080x1200 per eye which bears the dk2 but little else. Give pro is 1440x1600 per eyes which is a big bump but only keeping up with the newer hmds out there. I honest can't say if the GTX 1070 will cope with the 2k per eye hmds that are being released later on this decade though.

Normal resolution but low AA which makes a big different in performance but not so necessary on visual front . Only real reason for the extra speed requirement is bumping up super sampling. Also I'm only rendering to the main display and the vive though as the igpu handles the side displays. I guess it depends on you setup and if you're suffering with microstutters.

Low bar to set 'didn't throw up' must be fine, right? You never used a 1070, yet you are trying to describe your expertise in comparing the two? You think the HTC Vive is low rez? I mean, if you turn the graphics down to accomodate the 1060's lower GPU power, it would look lower, I guess? What gfx settings are you using?

You used your GTX 1070 as a HMD ? (shock) Not sure what you mean but GTX 1060 supports SMP too. You struggled to get 90fps on your GTX 1060 because ? Never used GTX 1070 but didn't throw up on my GTX 1060 so don't see the point (highfive) Have found that the HTC Vive is pretty low res so don't really need that high graphical quality but is probably because I don't have gear vr lens installed :D

Without checking I doubt it due to lack of space, if it has an m2 slot you might be in luck.

Is it possible to add an SSD in addition to the HDD already installed?

us style enter key

No :)

Is the OP an Asus rep, lol ............ soooo many posts for Asus lappies?

This or the Dell XPS 9570 ?

I don't see as to why not?. If AO are on either TopCashBack, or on Quidco?, then yes, I assume so ...

Can you combine it with Quidco or another cashback service?

I love steak. Nice bonus

Would avoid these, I returned an FX503 because of display problems when gaming... horrendous flickering at top of screen... corners were cut when making these clearly. Graphics card isn’t the best on this either! I had a GTX 1060 3GB version and it took way too long to startup, shutdown, update and restore...

Hot for asus missus has got one 5 years now and still is going strong

Having to give em away as nobody wants the 10 series at the current prices. Can’t blame em. Over 2 years old and barely any real depreciation put on them from when they came out.

Whoosh.

Don't feed the trolls

That back log of the 10 series cards Nvidia are really trying to shift them

£10 for what? A GTX 1060/70/80? You cant even buy a used GTX 560 for £10

"you wouldnt want a 1060 for 1440p anyhow"

Nobody mentions 1440p before you do and you're right 3gb doesn't cut the mustard at high resolutions but you're talking about a card aimed at 1080p gaming and mentioning 1440p.

Can you not read?

Bad deal, sorry guys!

About the right price I'd say .. Should perhaps be dropping in anticipation of the "Wonders we are about to Behold" coming from Nvidia Amd ,Not content with giving no competition to Intel for years and years, now they're doing giving no competition to Nvidia for years and years ..... lol

gigabyte is specifically concerned with sales of their graphics, amazon and other stores stock seems to stay at the same level but ok,no point to argue, we know very little, rather speculating, we will see what's gonna happen

Gigabyte is a partner - of which there are many - they're not Nvidia. That's like saying Medion issued a profits warning therefore Intel are doing badly.

:) read gigabyte's profits warnings, the mistery 300k gpus return to nvidia from one of the major manufacturers and recent promo with free ssd from Nvidia for some 1060s. Huang says what's good for the business, if he stated that that the release is very soon, no-one would buy their stuff they need to get rid off quickly. Gtx 10xx is NOT selling well at all. Enthusiasts market, early adopters + some miners if proves viable for business will buy 1180 at good price, does not mean nVidia will manage to sell a lot, we will see.I anticipate they are gonna be careful with pricing as the long term support is shrinking quickly.

Did you deliberately omit the 700 series to try making a point?

Read the investment websites and the Nvidia's press releases, Huang's keynotes etc. The 10XX has been hugely successful for them. The 1180 will be pricey upon released. Guaranteed.

If you have waited this long there is no reason not to wait a bit longer.

Same as me. I was hoping they will be less than €300 by now.

Yup, I've waited this long, so I'll let them turn green moldy before they get money from me for their over priced junk. Now they need to shift their very soon to be defunct trash. Keep them, I'll just make do.

I'd expect a 1070ti for this price and certainly not a Palit model by now...

Why's this cold? Not that bad for a 1070

And there we go, the leaks are out: https://wccftech.com/nvidia-geforce-11-series-gtx-1180-gtx-1170-gtx-1160-release-date-leak/ Looks like next month for the 1180.

Yes, yearly revenue for NVIDIA have always been black, but 'keeping it in the black' is just a term for 'making money'.

Nvidia have always been in the black. They even ramped up production of the 10XX series last year (albeit overestimating mining demand for Q1 and Q2 2018) which is what partly resulted in the 300K OEM stock being returned.

Oh, you mean the guy who wants to sell the 300k in stock? Sure, he'll say that to keep the next couple months in the black.
