MSI are desperately trying to shift the stock of all their cards, as they are one of AMD's biggest card manufacturers, they obviously know something about the RX Vega range with regards to price vs. performance. I can imagine they are trying to mitigate larger losses by off loading stock now before the price tanks.

Heat for the deal. :smiley:

wow great price.

They've got the GTX 1070 at £300 too - making it basically the same cost/CUDA core.

While there's no much difference with AIB OC capabilities, I'd really not recommend a blower for a card of this pedigree.

Bring me VEGA!!! Heh, voted hot op.

How is the cashback sorted/claimed?.. A application to MSI for cashback?..

Alternative for about 400£.

that's about right for the now 1-year-old GTX 1080, regardless of its performance
wouldn't pay more than 400

LOL...

I need a 4k GPU price don't matter what you thinking ? and AM4 Mobo?

horrible ref card... will get you decent FPS but youll suffer with the noise from this thing

I have an uk Amazon account I do I buy from the French Amazon is there some special way of doing it , seems a lot cheaper to buy.

Great price, but still waiting for a VEGA drop to see what I'm working with. It's great to see these numbers falling in the right direction though. Heat for the deal.

MSI gaming x for £704 off Amazon German site

Cold. Can get a 1080 with AIB for £20 more.

Know many ITX or mATX people using a 1080 (32cm) card?

I know Dan case can accommodate it, but it's not even worth discussing as a use case.

I know me -- using a mildly overclocked 1080 FE in a Silverstone ML08, runs beautifully cool.
But regardless, I stand by a blower being best for a small enclosure - after market coolers are cool but they blow the hot air around your PC case & can make a small system pretty toasty.
I don't know how this MSI performs but the 1080 FE are quiet & good at dissipating heat

I'm not debating the fact a blower is ejects heat from a case, I agree. But a blower for 99% of people makes no sense.

The whole idea of ITX/mATX is a QUIET yet purposefully build machine, having a loud as 1080 blower in there makes no sense. There isn't a quiet blower on planet earth.

My 1080 FE is quieter than my 980TI STRIX when gaming, uses less power & is smaller.
You shouldn't really decide people want a quiet PC when they build an ITX case, some like the portability & ability to have a cute small PC.

Errr... no.

They are also clearing out 1070's with cashback incentives and reduced prices at retailers.

Do you have a source for your claim? You can say "Err... no." all you want, but I've sourced and provided a very common sense reason.

What you've appeared to suggest is that MSI have information on Vega/Volta being accelerated or released much sooner than their press has led on.

So, any source? Or are you just speculating?

Vega announcement along with Zen+ and Naples 15th May. Won't be a release but I expect a date then.

iim sure stock is being reduced for new stock and load of AMD. Also sure the 11 g thing must also be relevant. Ive held and held on this. Glad to see there is more room to falling if above both true

There's no way they'll beat the 1080ti IMO, the card is a freak.

AMD demonstrated with the 4XX/5XX they can compete in the mainstream markets, from the reading I've done the rumours are 3 SKU's, probably to compliment their Ryzen line-up, but also as a direct answer to the 1070 and 1080.

If they can continue to trade with the 1060 via the 580 and can demonstrate stellar DX12 performance versus 1070 and 1080GTX cards I'd be very happy with what they achieved, but I really don't see them competing with the Ti in anywhere but synthetic benchmarks buoyed by the use of HBM.

I was running my Fury until last week when I picked up a 1080gtx Amp Extreme (£390) via Amazon as an experiment. I can return it until June 5th, so pending the announcements it may be going back. It's giving me another 20fps in titles I play like Squad/Star Citizen @ 1440p but I'm losing freesync which would be my primary reason for swapping back to AMD if they can put out a 1080 aligned card for <£400.

If they can get give 1070 performance for £300, 1080 performance for £400 and Ti performance for £500 they'll have shaken things up nicely, but I just don't see the Ti being threatened. I don't see how they achieve low pricing to undercut Nvidia having used HBM which is undoubtedly expensive relative to DDR5.

Yes, pretty much my sentiments. Got the gigabyte gaming 1080ti myself paired with a pg279q monitor, needless to say it smashes everything to bits, 100+fps in everything I've played at 1440p. A very enjoyable gaming experience.

Nice, personally can't justify the cost of the Ti given I have no aspiration to move to 4K.

If you can get 100fps in either of the games I mentioned, I'll run down Oxford street naked.

It is pretty daft tbh particularly what you can get a 1080 for but I have no desire to SLI and have a 4k tv and my gaming monitor hooked to my PC so the fastest single card is what I was prepared to pay for (Titan cards aside)

Haven't played those games, are they just GPU monsters or do they crush the CPU as well?

Not especially, but they're alpha/early access and so not properly optimised.
