jnelsoninjax Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 So according to every thing that I read, the new Nvidia GTX 1080 cards are supposed to be released today, but no one seems to be selling them, Newegg doesn't show them at all, and Amazon shows them listed for over $1100 which obviously is not correct. Does anyone have any insight into what might be happening with the cards? Is there a reason why there not released yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmcgregor Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 (edited) I see them on sites like BestBuy or Nvidia.com but they are sold out every link I click Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnelsoninjax Posted May 28, 2016 Author Share Posted May 28, 2016 I find it hard to believe that they are all sold out already. Is it possible that Nvida has not released the card yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGHammer Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Lack of supply is the issue; this has been typical whenever a new GPU family is introduced; this was, in fact, true of every iteration of Maxwell at launch, and was equally true of Kepler and Fermi (which preceded Maxwell) - why did we expect otherwise?

Odom Member Posted May 30, 2016 Member Share Posted May 30, 2016 I think you will start finding them in stores around the 10th June. The online stores I use have dates anywhere from 10th June to 17th June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xendrome Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 So, have a pre-order at Amazon for the EVGA FTW 1080 @ $679.99. Decided to ask their customer service if they had an estimated ship date. About an hour later I get back an email saying they currently do not, however for my trouble they would like to offer me 20% of the order. I of course accept and they make the adjustment. Price on order is now $544.00. Might be worth repeating for anyone who has a pending order at amazon T3X4S and Vvo 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnelsoninjax Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share Posted June 9, 2016 Nice find, however I'm still holding out for the Asus Strix GTX 1080, currently only seeing it on newegg, and of course out of stock, so I'm waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T3X4S Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Every single negative rating I read had to do with the price of the Founder's Edition (people complaining that it didnt provide any performance delta over other versions) I think people should have to pass an IQ test before posting reviews. How do I make the pics I attach full size ? where people dont have to click on it to see ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vvo Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I'm pretty sure that these consumers that are giving negative ratings don't understand the concept of supply and demand when it comes to newly released products.............. xendrome 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and it was made very clear that the Founder's Edition was simply a "hot off the press" they never said it would be better. It was for early adopters - gamers and enthusiasts will pay crazy prices to get it as soon as it comes out. The fact they thought it would be better than the normal production ones is just their own idiocy, they shouldnt blame the card. I have seen many times where the bulk of the people giving reviews have no business doing such. (you see this in AV software, and monitors especially) END OF RANT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hulibecker Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Think I might finally take the plunge & upgrade my AMD Radeon R9 270 Think its worth waiting 6-9 months for the Ti or just go for one of the OC cards now from the likes of MSi ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnelsoninjax Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 I finally got a 1080 ordered, it will be in tomorrow, even though it has been sitting in Jacksonville since Thursday, since FedEx promised to deliver the card Monday, they are not going to deliver it until Monday!
