Nvidia reduces price of regular GeForce GTX 1070

With the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti being released/available seems to have the effect of a price reduction for other cards. From the looks of it, the regular GTX 1070 has now dropped towards $329 and $399 for the Founders edition.

NVIDIA did not announce the GTX 1070 price cut, reports techarp, however, you can spot that they cut the price of the GeForce GTX 1070 Founders Edition to just $399. The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Founders Edition will launch at $449.

We doubt a little that you will see AIB GTX 1070 cards at $329 USD though. I expect it to be more in that 350~375 regions. But who knows.

"kwaying your eyes out over being only the second cheapest country in the world when it comes to hardware prices"

Incorrect: they do not even figure in the top 10 cheapest countries. Do some research, I did and it took less than 5 minutes to prove you wrong.

I will give an example of the price gouging we have to deal with in Canada. Most Americans are clueless of this. Here we have the Asus ROG Strix X370-F Gaming motherboard in the USA. The board is 174.99 after a 15 dollar mail in rebate on Amazon USA. The same board is 264.69 at Amazon Canada, and no rebate offered. This type of garbage is what we have to deal with when buying any computer hardware. We get completely ripped off.

https://www.amazon.com/ROG-Strix-X370-F-GAMING-DisplayPort/dp/B071ZHCF41/ref=cm-cr-arp-d-product-top?ie=UTF8

https://www.amazon.ca/ROG-Strix-X370-F-GAMING-DisplayPort/dp/B071ZHCF41/ref=sr-1-1-mimg-1-pc-display-on-website?ie=UTF8&qid=1509398839&sr=8-1&keywords=asus+strix+x370

174.99 US is actually 224.52. We are paying 264.69, which is a 40.17 price gouge. This is what we have to deal with constantly.

That example does not help your case.

You are comparing amazon to a 3rd party seller.
3rd party sellers jack up the price no matter where you go.

Compared newegg prices.

https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132989&cm-re=asus-x370-f---13-132-989---Product

Newegg is 189 USD.
Converted is 244 Cad.

Newegg.ca is cheaper by 20 cad at 224, normal price is the same as the US newegg.

Again, when you take comparable products, prices end up being the same.

No, you are incorrect. You don't live here. People who make purchases on PC hardware in this country are well aware that in most cases, we pay more. Up until August, we were paying between 493 and 509 Canadian on Amazon.ca and Newegg.ca for an R7 1700X. I know this, as I bought one, and I tried to force them to price match to the exact conversion amount. They refused, and then I talked to management. In the end, they gave me a price of 399.99 Canadian.

I'm not incorrect as I just refuted with evidence on all of your examples.

X370 board, the 1080ti and the GTX 1070.

All 3 of those are the same prices vs US.

Your issues are entirely different where 3rd party sellers jack up prices based on limited quantity supplied.
Basic economics.

You claimed that all the prices are higher but the examples you provided all turned out to be the same prices as USA.
