Just bought this, the 1080 isn't worth it with the ridiculous price inflation in Canada.

What price inflation? It's $729.99 USD and $919.99 CAD. Right now $729.99 USD converts to $949.17 CAD.

Check out NCIX's prices, they have zero stock and are selling non-FE cards for over $1000. $919 is still way above the MSRP and not worth it, especially with Ti and Titan versions coming out in less than a year. Did you get your 1080s yet?

Yeah NCIX is abusing it, but Newegg is OK assuming you get it in stock. I think $729.99 USD or $919.99 CAD is fair for the GTX 1080 AMP! Extreme, it's a pretty nice custom board.

Haven't received my cards yet, Purolator is having issues right now due to Canada Post lockout.

BTW, Titan P is apparently going to be announced in mid-August 2016. Are you planning on getting one?

No because they'll probably be +1000 USD. The 1070 will cruise through 1440p and I can upgrade to whatever Ti version will be available in a couple years.

And yeah, shipping is ass right now. If you've been waiting over two weeks, I'm not holding much hope for my card. If I don't get shipping confirmation within a few days, I'll cancel my order.

You get a tracking number but not tracking info until it reaches Canada.

Are you still waiting? My Amazon shipment arrived today, 3 days late. I'm hoping Newegg won't have a worse delay than that.

Yeah I got them 10 days ago. Had an issue because of a bad RAM stick though. Hope it works now.

Guys, I had really bad stuttering issues in GTA V regardless of graphics setting. All the stuttering is gone if I run the game in Win 10 rather than Win 8.1 (tested by dual booting). Looks like I'm not alone either. Other games run smoother too, such as Dying Light.

I got sick of Purolator's BS, been almost 3 weeks and my 1070 is still sitting in a sorting facility so I just bought the Zotac Amp! Extreme 1080 from NCIX with store pickup.

Got a MSI Gaming X 1070 in the mail on Fri. First card I've ever owned that holds 60FPS in any game (so far), with all graphics settings cranked.

Still haven't tried Witcher 3 w/ hairworks though. :olo:
