Wow, so the GTX 1070 is going to be faster than the TItan X?? Wasn't that shyt $1000 last year and the 1070 gonna be $400??

I mean... damn.

No brainer.

I'm looking to buy a new SSD this week, my old one is full.

Is this a good one or does anybody have a better suggestion?

Those are the best 2.5" SSDs out currently. Great drives.

I got alerts setup on all these sites, but still no word on when the 1080s go on tomorrow

I guess I'll start refreshing at 9:30am PDT.

Will wait to see AMD GPUs before I make a decision with Nividia.

That's too late.

I have little birdies telling me that there might be a refresh on newegg at 12:01 PST

PayPal me $1,500 and I will do my best to get 2 of them

2am CDT? Man, fukk that shyt. If I can't get em tomorrow morning, then fukk it, I'll just wait for the inevitable restock. It's not like there is any game that's gonna need them anytime in the next 6 months (shyt, maybe a whole year).

So this is all kind of pointless then, isn't it?

I don't need them, but I want them (especially for the VR advances). My Titan Xs should take me through every game for the next year, if I'm being honest. But I'm playing at 3440X1440p and not hitting 60 on all games, so it would be nice to have the upgrade. My plan was to buy 2 1080s, use em til the Pascal Titan comes out, sell the 1080s and buy 1 Pascal Titan. I wanna try to avoid SLI in the future, but that's not possible now. I figured I could enjoy the new 1080s for like 6-9 months, sell em for $500 each and then get the Pascal Titan for $1K. It was all planned out. We'll see tomorrow if I can buy the cards, but nvidia and everybody is being super fukking secretive about the time the cards go on sale.

These vultures don't sleep.

Some are grabbing them in hopes to resell them at a profit

I looked at ebay and amazon. shyt's are going for like a grand

They'll be back in stock in 2 weeks. I hate these fukking scalpers. Nvidia encourages it too. Making limited stock to up the demand

have you considered building your own 1080's?

If I only knew how....

I can't fault them...I do the same thing. @ $1,000 you are looking at a $120 profit.

I don't like dealing with very pricey hardware though because people can be very fickle. The card might not meet their demands and will then force your hand through eBay/Paypal at any minute for a return.
