    $699 for 11.5 NVIDIA TFLOPs of compute performance and what's likely to be the best graphics card for the next few months, period.

    I have to say, I'm surprised by the fairly low pricing. There isn't a distinction between regular and Founder's Edition pricing anymore, too, so you should be able to buy one for 7 Benjamins plus change.

    Too expensive?

    The GTX 1080 has received a price cut. There will also be flavours of 1080 and 1060 with significantly upclocked memory.

    Seems like there should be plenty to watch out for people looking for new graphics cards.
     
    It'll be interesting to see what sort of knock-on effects this has on the 1070's price. With the 1080 getting closer to the 1070 in price, for many users who are already dropping enormous amounts of money on a GPU the cost involved in an upgrade from 1070 to 1080 would be relatively small. Hopefully it too sees some price cuts, else it'll become irrelevant pretty quickly.

    The GTX 1070 also silently received a price cut to the tune of $50 to the Founder's Edition, from $449 to $399. I think it wouldn't be too much to extrapolate that to the pricing of standard cards.

    Note that the $499 price is for non-Founder's Edition GTX 1080s; the FE is $549 (still quite an amount less). However, given the current market landscape, the $499 price should now be the new baseline, unlike how things were initially. At the moment, as I can see an existing OEM video card with a custom cooler selling for $559, there shouldn't be anything of concern. Just wait ;)
     
    i think nvidia is trying to keep top of the game while amd tries catching up to there performance i remember when i tried using a amd tv card it had nothing but issues
     
    The card looks overpriced with third parties. EVGA has it for 900 bucks! I mean wtf is up with that. I'm sorry but no graphics card is worth almost a grand.

    Could buy a 1060 and a 1080 for that price.

    When the prices level out, I plan to pick one up to either compliment or replace my 980ti
     
    That moment when a graphics card is worth more than your entire computer. {XD}
    Seriously though, maybe it's me and my restricted budget but I see no point in spending all that money on a graphics card if it's purely used for gaming (unless you plan to do fancy things such as VR or multi-monitor setups).

    It's excessive, for sure, but that doesn't really mean much. Like anything else, enthusiasts with money will spend more for a premium product and a better experience. It's no different to dropping a lot of money on things like clothes, cards, even food, etc. when the basics are sufficient and far cheaper; high-end graphics cards are a luxury just like like high-end anything else. Think of anything you've ever purchased which was more expensive than a basic version of it, and there's your point.
