Product Description
MSI’s Geforce GTX 1080 TI Gaming X 11G provides unprecedented speeds and efficiency. Improving upon its popular predecessor, the GTX 980 TI, this upgraded version blows it out of the water in both performance and size Read More
Did anyone get the notification from Nvidia that the 1080ti, 1080, 1070ti and 1060 were all going to be in stock today? I woke up at 5am Central and none were available, checked every hour and still sold out. Did They sell out that quickly? Have they not been released yet? Or was it a cruel joke?
Well luckily you already have three very capable cards at your disposal so there's really no need to worry about nVidia's "cruel joke" of an email now is there?
If you don't want people calling you out, then don't gloat about it in some threads, then whine about it others. When you do, it becomes my (and other people's) prerogative, because we all use this site both as a way to shop for ourselves and also to help other community memebers with their projects.
It's not surprising that people don't like when miners chime in in these discussions, because you're all a big part of the reason these prices are so high. You make $300 a month on an alt coin with a handful of cards. Cool, good for you, maybe keep it to yourself instead of shooting your mouth off about it elsewhere and then crying about how expensive cards are if you're sensitive about it.
Otherwise, feel free to laugh all the way to the bank while you deposit your extremely modest profit of 300~ish dollars. You obviously don't need to care about what some rando online says when you're making a few hours worth of overtime a month with your "investment".

There´s plenty of reviews already check YouTube vids, JayzTwoCents just did one. In the other hand I feel that for those with patience it´s better to hang on and wait for the price gouging to wilt and match all markets, further more there´s still the red boys response with the RX 480 which supposedly can surpass GTX 1080 in CROSSFIRE settings whit more bang for your buck. In short .. don´t fall for the Hype !!!!!
The RX 480 oc'ing from AIB I've heard about as well. I suspect it'll bring some challenge to the 1070, but not a chance to a 1080. I'd figure if the competition is good enough we'll see some price corrections on the 1070 by the late Q3/Q4 before Black Friday. Otherwise I figure an investment in a 1080 is fine, but I'd still wait unless you have a real need for it at the current moment.
Howdy Everyone,
Just want to make sure we are all looking at the same models here. I have been web searching and cant find the MSI Geforce GTX 1080 Gaming X 8G for less than $749.99. In a google shopping search it does show Walmart at the same price as us but if you follow the link it is $749.99 on the site. If you find it for less please let us know and share the link.
Cheers.
LMFAO Estimated ship date is Jul 29, 2016 By then MSI will probably have a better card release, stock will be plenty at any retailer, and they will probably start having MIR/bundle games/etc with them for the same price or less. I don't know how anyone finds deals on this site. By the time overpriced items hit your doorstep they are cheaper in stores. $15.75 shipping? Why can't it be free shipping LOL
Eh, no worries. My comment didn’t finish. My main point is Massdrop has not had better prices and only good for seeing what others are interested in. I’ve seen this card for 639 on Amazon too
MelodicApex8Well, the price on these cards has varied a lot in recent months due to crypto miners. Eventually they will return closer to their original prices. Some will wait for that and others won't. Just that simple.
I'm sure that card has been on Amazon for the $639 you're talking about, and that could have been as recent as November or December when the prices were almost back to normal. But then crypto miners started another buying frenzy of these graphic cards, causing a shortage and pushing prices way up again. I bought my MSI GTX 1080 Ti Gaming X in November for $770. Now that card is selling for about $1300 to $1400, and was as high as $1550 just a couple weeks ago!
So, the price will vary, but Massdrop is usually cheaper than most everywhere else. Sometimes not by much but still cheaper.
It's the same chip with the same VRAM. The only difference is cooler and PCB design. Except for the most basic overclockers, there is zero difference. Non-overclockers won't notice any significant difference. Extreme overclockers will replace their cooler with a waterblock, so the cooler it comes with is not worth mentioning.
As far as outside of the US, I can't comment because I don't know the prices outside of the US. That being said, Shipping always costs an arm and a leg anyway. US shipping is $15, which is ridiculous considering you can get free 2 day shipping with Amazon Prime on the $630 price. That's nearly a $100 difference for US shoppers.
I'm running a 290 right now, I edit a lot of 1080p 60 fps footage from my sony dslr and gopros when I rent them. while editing I barely see my gpu getting used more than 10 - 20%, my friend has a nvidia 980 and he sees a similar amount of use even though he's using CUDA.
Rendering is a similar story, but I pull all my footage from a networked storage server so the ~1Gb/s connection is more of a bottle neck than anything else. I barely ever see more than 20% gpu use and since the plugins I use (all the red giant plugins) aren't gpu optimized the only thing I assume the GPU is doing is helping decode the compressed footage.
For a couple of shoots I was given the chance to work with prores footage which is barely compressed and noticed a huge difference in speed there since the system doesn't have to decompress as much. I also converted my own footage to avid's uncompressed format, dnx or something since I had the codec for that and again noticed a difference.
For an editing system spend more in ram, storage, and cpu . The gpu is important but you don't need a huge gaming level gpu for that. Though VRAM is important to make sure there's a fast place nearby to store all the pixels.
I highly suggest going with an x99 system since that'll give you tons of room to upgrade. I'm currently saving up to switch from my z77 i5-3570k rig to an x99 i7-5820k rig.
I think someone suggested a quadro card, you're not going to see any benefit from that unless you're using a real workstation system with ECC ram.
also for the NLE I highly suggest Premiere Pro, its only $10/m from adobe and is quickly becoming an industry standard. Final Cut and avid are also great choices but neither integrates with other adobe software as well as PP. I have the full create cloud suite and pay about $30/m for it. When I edit I clean up and arrange all clips in PP, put together a sequence then I use Photoshop to pull in graphics, for simple animations I use PP but if I need more complex stuff i transfer the clip or sequence into after effects without having to render anything out and then one I finish in AE clicking save pulls the footage into PP, again no need to render anything out. Then once I finish the video I send the whole sequence to Audition to do the audio, here I can bounce the multitrack mix directly back into PP which is a huge time saver.
PP can also read photoshop PSDs so if I have a layered graphic I can pull each layer as clips and animate them individually.
So word of caution to people buying this, I have this card and in terms of it being better than the Founders Edition, well that is iffy. Overclocking is a crap shoot and all down to silicon lottery. I've been able to hit 2050 without any voltage and I've seen others in high 2100s, while other under 2000... This does have slightly higher stock speeds, but that really doesn't matter. The cooler is spot on and keeps the card cool and quiet. So if you are looking for a good air cooled card and not worried about paying a premium, this card is great. However if you are like me, you wanted better overclocking potential and wanted to put a waterblock on the card, I would say either get the Zotac Amp Extreme (rumored to overclock well) or just get a cheap reference card like the EVGA SC and hope the silicon gods are great to you.
