Source for those prices? Everything I've read has the 1080 FE at $699 MSRP and the custom partner cards at $599 MSRP. Or is this still you guessing based on the current cost of the Titan X which it performs like?

Still not seeing where you get your pessimistic Pascal price outlooks from, even without AMD competition until fall your prices are way higher than whats been announced.


In the defense of the AIB partners, the listings were deleted, But there were more than Simply a "GPU in a Box"

$749-799
But from what I saw:

-Premium Built 1080GTX GFX Card,
-Moisture Resist Coating to Protect PCB from Moisture/Liquid Drips
-2x 8 Pin PCI Connectors w/ LED Diagnostics
-14 (12+2) Phase VRM,
-3 Fan Cooler w/ Flat/Sq Heat Pipes,
-RGB Adjustable LEDs,
-Assorted Adapters (Molex to 6 Pin, DP to DVI/ etc)
-Custom HB SLi Bridge, w/ Adjustable RGB LEDs.
-Internal HDMI Ports on the Back of the Board Next to Power Connectors
-Breakout Box for front panel HDMI and USB3.0 Ports
-Back Slot Bracket for HDMI Ports
-Mouse Pad
-Wrist Protector
-Case Sticker
-4 Yr Warranty


Well worth the Price, if you can afford it.
