yup. prices on eBay took a dive the day before yesterday and rebates now attached to cards over at Newegg. All those used to be miners who bought 1070's and have been sitting on them hoping the price will go up before they have to sell, well, they waited too long

There's no reason for Nvidia to adjust 1070 prices as long as the Vega 56 is as high as it is.
The 1070 MSRP is already $350.

Where on earth can you find a new GTX 1070 for $350?
Yep, pretty much. Mining is still hella profitable. I feel for anyone trying to build a new rig. Even people holding out for Black Friday are going to be competing with miners wanting any deals available.
ummm, not so much. Used EVGA GTX 1070 FTW's are under $380 shipped on eBay and they sell slow if at all, 1060 6GB at $250 (shipped) and lower and 1070 Ti being released in a few days

There's the key. Miners are less likely to buy other miners' cards.

Exactly, even gamers. I wouldn't buy a used card for $400 dollars just because of the possibility that it could have been used for mining.

Are you saying this as a miner?
In any case, new prices aren't coming down by much any time soon.
Yes and I know plenty of miners that are perfectly fine buying other miner's cards. The fact is, once you move beyond hobbyist mining, you're in this for longevity. Any miner worth their salt is going for efficiency with a combination of undervolting/underclocking and open air with air turnover (or cards under water). I'm willing to bet my cards will outlast the gamer who puts the card through hot/cold cycles from the card being confined in a case.

or, you can view this one by EVGA that actually has a transferable warranty and techs you can reach on the phone free of charge and in about 5 minutes and it's 24/7 https://www.tweaktown.com/news/59633/evgas-new-geforce-gtx-1070-ti-cards-pictured/index.html

From the tweaktown article above:
"maybe even miners could pick up the GTX 1070 Ti".
Ugh, here we go again.

The $500 price tag from Amazon was a bit weird. The 1080's MSRP is still a flat $500.

$449 - https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/10series/geforce-gtx-1070-ti/
For that price, I'll spend the extra $50.
This is the direct from NVIDIA card, though. Hopefully, the third parties can bring it down from there. If it's above $400, I'll just grab a 1080. If it's under $400, the 1070Ti looks great.

Nvidia trying to beat Vega 56 out of the market on the off chance AMD partners start shipping custom card in large numbers.
Available for pre order here in the UK...https://www.scan.co.uk/shops/nvidia/geforce-gtx-1070ti-graphics-card

Card should have been $400, or gotten a bump to 9Gbps.
Does not justify it's existence, with the same castrated memory bus.
Also, them sticking with GDDR5 guarantees it will never be in stock at MSRP. We just recently got the stock model under the $450 mark, so this will be at $500+ for some time.
Is this a tip-of-the-hat to miners, or a last-ditch effort to outperform Vega 56? I'm just not sure here. But neither one will bite for that price.

They're selling chips which wouldn't cut it as 1080's, and they feel that they can get more profit this way than selling them as straight up 1070's.
Just NVidia way of saying eff you to Vega 56.
Anandtech has started deleting all comment posts on their reviews that go against AMD's narrative that they are trying to spin.
Had 5 of my posts deleted on their comments section of their review.
Just FYI, don't dare contradict the AMD talking point that 1070Ti is out of stock, as you will get your post deleted in Anandtech reviews nearly instantly.

Bad, bad Anandtech !!! They should be drawn and quartered, flogged and then put into the stocks
