Hey guys im getting kinda confused about the prices the newer cards get now.
with the release of the Pascal Gtx 1080 we could have atleast seen the prices of the 980Ti stay the same or drop a little? but why are they getting more expensive everyday?

a month ago i could buy 1 brand new for 580 euro (Eu Netherlands) but im waiting till summer
now i checked back last week and i rose again to 669 euro, i kinda think that the 580 was a temporary action of some sort (kinda ridiculous diffrent) now i checked it again today and now its at a whopping 714 euro?!? can someone explain this Nvidia logic to me?
 
Solution
funny thing now is that hybrid card sell cheaper at evga then at newegg now they went back to 735 price last night ??

thing is NVidia cant drop the 900 card price much cause guys like me would just as well have a 980 it over the new 1000 cards anyway doing so all that price drop would do is hurt 1000 card sales so I really don't see anything more then 50 bucks or so knocked off any 900 card [NVidia aint stupid and been doing this for some time now ] they just assume pull the 900 cards from the market then give you a good deal on a 900 when they really want you to buy there latest cards at full marked up prices [ win-win for them ]
So its just waiting for another supply? then maybe the sales come back? doesn't make sense to me if they are going to drop the supply on this card already because its just near 1 year old.
 
''Why is the price of a 980Ti rising''

must be looking in all the wrong places ?? not to say there cheap but a lot of lower prices that I see [newegg] I follow the hybrid reg price 735 just went off sale with rebate for 645 and today its 669 after rebate ??

980ti classy 675 reg price and today its 639 ? 980ti FTW 664 reg - 604 after rebate ?

unless I don't know what rising means ??

Never knew that NewEgg had a europe deppartment xD there prices are way cheaper then the ones i checked indeed

EDIT:

ok nevermind Newegg xd its gets even more expensive with the shipping added

Msi Gtx 980Ti 6Gb gaming: 617,99
Estimated VAT/GST & Duty: 135,17+ (what the hell is this for?!)
Shipping: 30,14+

Grand Total: 783,93 Euro xD
 
Cheapest i can get is the classified from Evga at a grand total of 687,28 euro. still paying alot the shipping and Vac makes it not realy worth all the hassel. guess ill be waiting for a sale on the Msi one because it got all the way down to 550 maybe ima see this again
 


Why so salty bro? im just trying to get the most bang for the buck but it seems like im waiting until sales kick in again 🙁 but i have to wait until august to get one i hope until then they became cheaper..
 


Aye true, sorry i can be a bit direct sometimes :)
its just these prices where ranging very fast within a month time i just find it weird that it did so fast
like my Evga 970 i have right now, i was tracking it for a month back then and it just went 5 euros cheaper once in that month
 
''sorry i can be a bit direct sometimes'' me too or just can come off that way as you thought , no big deal

thig is overthere is the crazy add value tax [vat] or what ever seems you cats could vote that out shipping cost from china maybe less seeing its shorter to California ports ???

I see guys at evga from Europe crying so I guess it down to GOD bless America land of the use to be free and home of the cheap skates ??
 
Yeah shipping products from Usa to Eu comes with so many extra costs thats its hardly worth it at the end, i never have orderd anything out china seems like it could be cheaper. i just found it weird that the prices where going up and down like crazy last month, i feels like i missed the chance of getting one for a decent price, no way im going to pay over 700 for a Gpu
 
'' i just found it weird that the prices where going up and down like crazy last month''

maybe testing to see what the maximum low piece they can get away with ??? like that 980ti hybrid its been 735 665 645 710 670$$ . like you say all over the place bit then theres some stores that just hold firm at the msrp of 735 ??

over at microcenter they dropped the 970 price down to like 240 bucks for a few days on line and the changed it to in store only ??
