GPU Prices Plunge: GTX 1080 Ti Now $526

[eye4bear]

I just clicked on the link for the 1070 shown at 318.79 yet the link shows the price as $489.00

Most of the prices were wrong within hours of the article posting, but since its one of the most popular articles, I wouldn't expect any correction. I mean its not the first click bait on tom's, and surely not the last. There's more than a few price trending sites to confirm, so clearly Avram should know the headline price was nonsense before even posting the article. Maybe best to just skip his articles, if you bother reading any on this site.

Open box RX 580 8GB for $180. at micro center. It's all mine.

The link shows a price of 679.99 dollars instead of 526 Tom's says. LOL

Newegg has one for $610, after rebate. Still a big difference, but also a very good price.

Just a heads up to everyone, this ended up being a complete scam.

The seller "shipped" my card to the wrong address.

It wasn't an isolated incident. If you look at their feedback, they have about 20 other people siting the exact same issue.

Seller had positive feedback prior to this scam. Likely sold a bunch of small items to pad feedback before going for the big one.

Obviously this card isn't available for purchase anymore, but just be aware of the seller SMARTERCASE on Amazon.

I don't know if I can post links, but here's a link to their feedback as of today.

Are you F**king kidding me... I just ordered RAM from that seller a few days ago.. It was G.skill 3200 cas14 that went on sale for a few hours a couple days in a row for $180 down from $224. I actually tried to cancel the order like 10 minutes after I posted it and at some point a couple days later the charge went through..
I got a tracking number from USPS saying it is coming from Honolulu and is in transit from there.

Did you get any tracking info before it went to another state??

Tere will be A SMALLISH window around xmas , jan when prices on older cards will be very good but that is because they will finally be the last of the 10x stock. Prior to that I feel prices will shrink but not by a great deal.
What evidence do you have that your ebay card is nly 5 months old? even if somebody shows you a receipt for a card, no gtee its the one you get, cravat emptor as they say

The GTX 1080Ti ended up being a scam lol.

Good job Toms for researching the seller before posting it.

 

[stevenmbyers]

just for giggles amazon is auto refunding everyone who ordered one the accouint that was selling them was fraudulent

 

[stevenmbyers]

I wish people would stop quoting the amazon 526$ gtx 1080 ti from zotac. it is confirmed (and i was a purchaser) that particular sale by that particular seller was a scam. Luckily Amazon is processing refunds fore all the ppl he screwed

 

[mortemas]

Yeah, pretty annoying that Tom's hasn't updated the article (or at least verify with Amazon that the seller was bogus). The only thing that justified the word "Plunge" in the headline was the $526, which it seems was not a valid listing. I mean I would say prices have definitely been dwindling, but plunge? No.

 

[Krazie_Ivan]

is 30 month old tech finally at/near msrp exciting or a "deal" to anyone?
i know, no competition & a mining bubble, but... in that length of time, we would normally see the launch of nearly 2 generations, so RTX3000 would be coming soon. an RTX3060 would be $240 & beat a 1080ti. feel like i'm the only disappointed dude around here :/

 

[capndan]

Buyers beware. The Zotac 1080 Ti card they mentioned a few days ago for $520 was being sold by a scammer on Amazon. Every single review of the seller mentioned the delivery mysteriously going to a different state. Happened to me, delivered to the wrong address two days after I ordered. Fortunately Amazon immediately refunded my money.

What about 1070ti? Will it drop?

You can find graphs of price histories at pcpartpicker.com. Just look at the graphs on some popular 1070 Ti models and gauge for yourself.

A couple of comments. When I heard of the release the other day, I'm pretty certain it said the RTX 2080 and 2080Ti were going to be available. Then the card prices dropped. Now those cards aren't being released yet and the prices went back up. Of course.

Remember last time? nVidia released the GTX 1070 and 1080, but they were $100 more than what the company announced. Then there was the "Founders edition" that was a reference card with a blower fan for an extra $100. Then of course they had a "shortage" which drove the prices higher. You will see this repeated.

As far as waiting for prices to drop, that is possibly a good idea with certain models. For several weeks now the GTX 1070Ti cards have been significantly higher than GTX 1080. The 1080 makes a lot of sense for folks that don't have that kind of performance currently, and need a bargain for a top end card.

During the GPU crunch, the GTX 1060 was one of the worthwhile cards available. Oddly enough, when the crisis started to abate GTX 1060 prices went up and stayed up. Even for the 3GB models. Don't count on drops for GTX 1060. RX 570 and 580 have dropped nicely, but at $300 I really don't like the 1060.

Best bet? GTX 1070 or 1080 now or very soon unless you are on 4K. And yeah, RTX cards will not drop until Black Friday.

JUST GOT A GTX 1080 for $320. I am totally fine with medium/high settings in 4k. ultra/maxxed is unneeded tbh.

You're saying they changed their mind about the launch date, after the official announcement? No way. There would be a !@$#! storm in these forums, if they actually did such a thing. Not to mention all the flak they would take from their partners and the sales channels. It was always Sept 20, with a (rumored) review embargo of Sept 16th.

You can find all the presentation slides on here, or the full video (if you're a masochist) on Youtube.

Eh, we'll see how supply and demand play out, but I wouldn't hold my breath. If you're right about a demand spike or supply shortage driving up prices, then I don't imagine there will suddenly be sales on Black Friday (perhaps except for a few promotional batches of very limited quantities).

Used? Or where?

Newegg now has them for as low as $430.

Thanks! Do you recommend any other websites like pcpartpicker?

I can smell everyone's trying to get their hands on one like monkeys fighting for a banana. Dang, I hope I get one, too. I missed a closeout sale last month on a Logitech 403 wireless mouse for 40.00. and I'm bothered a plenty. Last deal I got was a Vega 64 at retail ($500) before prices chased the cow over the moon.

Aaah, good idea. I will sneak a peak at pcpartpicker. Thanks!

Is it only Nvidia card prices going down?

I haven't followed AMD, but at least some of the RX 500 cards are now below their launch price.

I think Vega has hit a price floor, however, due to the price of HBM2 memory and perhaps the sheer size of Vega's die.

I don't know about you guys and gals and bis and flies and horses and shit (fucking hollywoof man I gotta be politically correct) OH well. Holy shit the advertisements make it painfully slow to type in the comment section on Tomshardware.com on a best Microsoft Surface Go. Anyways, I would just wait brosephs. Why buy now? Just all wait in mass and these mufuggas gonna have to drop them to rock bottom so they can remain solvent. You all waited this long always due to the crypto fags buyin up all the cards and having the capital to do so, so let's punish the GPU manufacturers for not helping us out more.
