Err...Oct 26th is a Thursday. Not that it really matters.

Yeah that was already fixed, thanks for noting though 🙂

So Nvidia is pulling the old 560 ti 448 core trick now for those who remember those cards. Well too bad that you couldn't flash the 1070 BIOS to a 1070 Ti due to the fact of that the Architectures are different GP104-300 (Ti) vs a GP104-200 (Standard). Plus there are probably other differences as well on the card level.

MSRP= $399, Amazon Price= $499 to buy it at that price, you will have to go to the factory...

If this was going to be sold at msrp I would buy one right away but I'm not crossing my fingers going by recent prices.

This card at $400 is a steal. Very interested to see reviews of it.

Guessing Nvidia had a lot of slightly borked 1080 chips in their warehouse and wanted to sell them XD Be interesting to see the results, one SMX gone and using GDDR5 instead of GDDR5X, i cannot see this being much slower... within 10%-15% of the 1080 i reckon... Sadly mining is still pushing card prices through the roof :/

No doubt custom variants of 1070Ti will be out well before store shelves see any custom Vegas.

I still think I'll be skipping this whole generation with the current price tags.

You'd have to be desperate and without a GPU to go buy pascal at this point in its lifecycle.

Why? What other options are there? Certainly not vega.

Amazon does MSRP; but they have no control over 3rd party seller's prices on the marketplace.

This would be a hell of an upgrade for you.

You beat as I have just a tab above that to spent coming in Nov which was plan for new GPU for this black friday.

good move for nvidia. by striking at the consumer "sweet spot" msrp, they extend their time on the clock working out the bugs on the next gen, whether that's volta or not. and, not coincidentally, doing a bit of a screw you to amd. pascal's here for a bit boys. nvidia can afford to buy time by doing a pascal refresh but it will have to deliver an answer before navi - that is the point the technology scale tilts to amd. nvidia really has to have their scalability game on point by that time.

Yup and my beat it is ever bit as fast Vega 56 if just hair bit faster but with out the jackup price

I just don't get where this confidence in AMD R&D in their graphics department comes from. They need to prove they can deliver something before I will expect anything from them.

I love that everything has to be about some stupid brand war on G3D these days 🙂 No it's a bad purchase because it's a near end of life product, a year and a half ago, wonderful. And it's not like we're talking about yet another titan for the no sense, money doesn't matter "whales" that'll just buy whatever as long as its the fastest thing when they're buying it. Anyway, reminds me of my best pal who kept asking for advice for GPU, and he bought a 970 even tho I kept telling him to wait. Two months before the 1xxx cards came out, his wife tells me he's still mad about wasting that money on a 970.

EoL? What basis did you make that assumption off of? Volta is going to be out after GDDR6 mass production starts. You're looking at Q2 2018 for an equivalent of GV104. We aren't talking about a month or two, 9 months is a long time. Are you going to tell new system builders to stick with IGP until volta release?

well i can see where you'd have that attitude. what i'm talking about are the physical properties of the gpu die. for example, volta is at the maximum size of any chip as it encompasses virtually the entire wafer...in order to actually sell them, they have to be sorted with certain sections disabled because of variations in yield...and those disabled sections are not consistent except for being at the periphery...which takes time and money and thus is not ready for primetime. like ryzen, vega is scalable. instead of "zeppelin" modules, you'd have the equivalent. meaning at 7nm, they could configure a gpu with multiple times the performance currently available at a far higher rate of yield, lowering costs, power, and temps with increased frequency. that is navi. that scares nvidia (justly) as they race to come up with an alternative.
