One of the best prices you are going to find on the GTX 1080 presently, not a bad looking card either in my opinion. :smiley:
Dispatched & Sold by Amazon too.
Paid for in € with a fee free card, including shipping it comes in at €546, which translates to £466-468 depending on the card used.

Never let Amazon do the currency conversion for you. They get their exchange rates from a parallel universe.

I am not sure how you get the 466~468 calculation, or if you have tried it yourself, for me Amazon shows GBP 486.85, which is still a fine price.

Amazon will charge a higher rate than most credit cards. Change the currency to euros and you should get a much better rate.

As above, select the button for paying in € not £, this allows the card provider to convert rather than Amazon acting as you ForEx agent. :smiley:

Just realised that the nvidia offer for the free game still counts even from Amazon.fr, so you get a choice of For Honour or Ghost Recon: Wildlands

With the absolute sheer volume of 1080 deals, it may be best to let the dust settle and the price to drop.
There is going to be a very strong second hand market as the first adopters are going to upgrade to the 1080 ti, you may be able to find an exception bargain if you hold your horses.

Sensible advice.

The price is only going to drop so much. There will be a floor that will likely not be penetrated by anybody except the rare desperate Gumtree seller or whatever.
£470 for a new GTX1080 is probably gonna be about the new 'great deal' area for a decent 3rd party 1080. I'd honestly not expect this to change much going forward.

All gone at this price now. :smiley:

I don't get how you think this is true... We are already seeing sub 470... And that's before the 1080 ti has popped.
The 'new great deal' surely is going to be much lower.

It won't be much lower, once all the 'bulk' stock has gone you might get a single AIB card on offer for £449, or maybe two if you are lucky but the stock will soon disappear, also as the GTX 1080 is discontinued from next week then I doubt there will be many more being manufactured.
Once the GTX 1070Ti hits the shelves, which will more that likely be in a couple of months, it will just be a renamed 1080, possibly with a few tweaks, hitting the £380-500 range. So yes if you can wait a couple of months, then do so as you'll also have Vega to compare it too also (June maybe).
