Almost 800 euros for a card that costs approximately 400. Seems OK. Ain't it?

Sure. I'll obviously buy that one over a 1080 Ti. That's a no-brainer.

It's just ~€110 more (the Asus ROG Strix 1080 Ti goes for €900.) Which translates to something like 15% price difference for a 50% performance difference.
