GTX 1070 price Drop

PseudoSudo · Dec 15, 2016

When will the GTX 1070 drop below $300 USD? It seems that the aftermarket cards are still above the $379 starting retail, and I am on a strict budget.

Not quite yet. Maybe by June depending on when/if a 1070 Ti is released.

Well the reference card is $399, so it's going to be tough to get it under $300. If were you, I would get a 1060 6GB. What are you aiming for?

Tyler Yaccarino · Dec 15, 2016

An overclocked 1060 can be had for under $300 which would be good depending on your preferences as mentioned above.

you can barely find used 970s for under $300. So not for a very long time.

1070's won't get in that range for a long long time , they are still selling at a high clip , no need to lower the price when sales are still booming.

I'm aiming to run Overwatch epic seetings at 4k. I have an rx 480 4gb that can barely run high >60 fps.

they probably long gone before they can drop that low....or even if they ever reach $300 mark there are already new gen of cards replacing them....

PseudoSudo :

Well the RX 480 made as a budget GPU to max out with 1080p. The 1070 may also struggle with it as well as it's strongpoint is 1440p. Even though Overwatch is a light game, you may want to consider a 980 Ti (not under $300) or a 1080 (again, not under $300). Just giving you all of your options.

But why is the gtx 980ti so expensive, even after the 10 series releases?

why_wolf · Dec 15, 2016

Because the 980ti is still a powerful card the 1070 is just barely better than it.

Herc08 · Dec 15, 2016

Because it was built to last. That's like saying why is a 2015 car so expensive even though 2016 is out. Just because you have a new generation, does not make the last-gen obsolete. The 980Ti is still a powerful card, and probably will not be lowered any time soon.

why_wolf :

ah makes sense.

renz496 · Dec 16, 2016

PseudoSudo :

when 1080/1070 first launch there is some deal that brings 980ti price down more to 1070 level but later it seems the price going back up. nvidia high end cards usually still expensive even when new gen cards coming out because nvidia usually stop the production much earlier so by the time new gen rolls out they don't need to lower the price significantly to clear left over stock. in fact the price could end up being more expensive due to limited stock.
