Aren't the 1070 prices way to high? 

 

$379USD = $622NZD after adding GST . 

 

 

 

I think many people will be shipping from amazon as a nearly $300 price differential is worth forgoing the protections of the CGA... you are covered anyway with the standard 1yr warranty, you just have to ship it back.

The price including shipping in NZ$ for a GTX 1070 from Amazon. Crazy shipping prices!

I thought the partner cards were cheaper than the founders edition?

Why wouldn't you just use Youshop or similar?

Even without the shipping costs, the card itself is still $861, which makes the $899 prices from places like PBTech seem reasonable.

For $861 NZD you might as well just buy one from a store here to save the hassle. They are $899.

Play tech had stock of some gigabyte ones with aftermarket fans yesterday but I don't know if they have any left, check their website or call them up. There are stock shortages at the moment.

$379 USD is the suggested retail price by Nvidia but board partners are pricing them around  400-440 USD.

 

Here's a link to Newegg but it's currently out of stock:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125871&cm_re=gigabyte_gtx_1070-_-14-125-871-_-Product

 

Probably lesser known brands like Inno3D or Palit may be around 379 USD, but the tier 1 board partners like Asus, EVGA or Gigabyte may be slightly more expensive.

I would expect a price drop maybe in a few months or so when there's no stock shortage and when AMD releases the RX 480

Well I got a fantastic deal from someone who had stock and mine arrived ten minutes ago. Dinner, kids to bed and away I go. 

 

 

 

What's a good free benchmarking tool I can run on my system before and after :) ?
