I know that's always going to be at a premium price, but I realize that the way I use my current computer (a laptop as well) is something that can pretty much only be done with a laptop. Besides, if I were to buy a PC, I'd have to buy everything; monitor and keyboard included.

I'm aiming for something running a GTX1070 instead.
Never, never never ever buy a ACER! Acer is known for extreme heat problems. Had 2 ACER LT´s that ended up in tha riverToxicBug wrote:Acer's new curved laptop rocks GTX 1080 SLI, G-SyncEraser wrote:Only has an integrated Intel GPU?

only because when they announced them, they quoted much lower prices.ToxicBug wrote:You were expecting Pascal prices to drop?Tsakali wrote:Looks like the prices haven't dropped at all this past month or so. I'm glad I baught it a while back and enjoying it, instead of hopelessly waiting for a better deal. By the looks of it, unless amd releases anything good, the prices are here to stay.... It's selling very well , so what's their incentive to drop pricing?
Nvidia said $699 and $449 USD for GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 reference editions, respectively.Tsakali wrote:only because when they announced them, they quoted much lower prices.
But maybe this is the norm? I haven't been following v-card trends for a few years b4 this generation
And it's not like I was the only one expecting drops... people seem to be kinda ticked off about it
$329 USD for GTX 970 and $549 USD for GTX 980 as per Wikipedia.shaft wrote:So the 70's are the same price as the 80's used to start at? I can see how people might be upset. The 970 was $350 and the 980 was $500 iirc.
A GTX 1070 is enough for 1080p @ 120 fps for almost any title maxed out. For 4K @ 120 fps you need 2x GTX 1080. 2x Titan X Pascal is better.losCHUNK wrote:The $200 gap is pretty much the difference between 1080 and 4k, innit ?
here is one I found, and they are not missinformed... this is the info nvidia was passing aroundToxicBug wrote:Nvidia said $699 and $449 USD for GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 reference editions, respectively.Tsakali wrote:only because when they announced them, they quoted much lower prices.
