Reference GTX 980Ti reduced to 509.99 to combat the R9 Fury X

There are rumors of more price adjustments in the future. Guess people really like AMD's smaller and cooler running cards so much that Nvidia made a correction to their mid high end GPU pricing at least in Europe. Personally I thought that the GTX 980ti's value would have increased after the initial benchmarks.

Think the lower pricing may come to the USA?

OcUK had since last week a custom Zotac for 499 quid, so not sure how much the Fury has to do with the price drop of the standard one.
 
That is in pounds which is roughly 650 USD so the same price as here.

You should pray that the price drop doesn't happen or poor AMD might not even be able to sell FuryX anymore. U.S. is the largest consumer market and NVidia can play the cut off game which AMD cannot afford anymore.
 
Someone's buying Fury's that's for sure, my normal place sold through their XFX and MSI allocations already. I welcome the fight.

If nVidia cuts the prices, I'm sure AMD will respond. If 980Ti drops to $550, AMD should drop Fury X to $500 or $450. That way, everyone wins regardless of which company product you prefer. :D Of course the profit may be smaller per card for AMD, but they could recoup by the number of cards sold.
 
Prices aren't going anywhere.

initial rush on limited supply of Fury X by amateur reviewers, fanbois and eBay gougers isn't going to be sustained. OcUK guy mentioned yesterday there was a big surge of 980 Ti orders after the Fury X reviews released .

Nvidia will hold tight at $649
 
Foolish AMD fans trying to fool every one is what I would say.

When FuryX doesn't do well, no need to spread rumor based on concocted facts.
 
It would be easy for them to cut the price in Euros, as they already gouge the poor bastards by using the same price in dollars as in euros, ie, $649 to €649 which isn't a very favorable "conversion".

edit: looking at the prices its actually worse, as their MSRP is significantly higher than the US price even in just direct numbers....oh well think of it as revenge for all the lawsuits the EU constantly drops on US companies...LOL.
 
It's supply and demand dude. You price competitively in a region where you can sell in volume.
 
If fury x was faster yea then nvidia might lower prices but not when faster. Not to mention its oos most of the time especially gaming versions

Could also be the fact that US price are generally before tax, and EU prices are generally after tax.

So now NVIDIA is to blame for the import tax and VAT in the EU?
 
Yeah, that VAT is a blight of darkness that swallows all love and hope.

I don't blame Nvidia (or other companies) for the VAT, but they do need to learn how to do some math when they decide their MSRPs.

The Fury X is sold out everywhere. WTF is wrong with you?
 
Good for EU I guess...but I don't know if it's apparent to anyone else, but considering that AMD released a $550 graphics card for $650, does anyone else believe that AMD and nVidia are price-fixing again to artificially raise graphics card prices...I mean, in 2009 the top of the line single GPU Radeon 5870 launched at $330, and just six short years later AMD's top of the line single GPU almost doubled in price...Then AMD has a GPU that they know doesn't compete well against the 980-Ti at the same price-level, but release it an price it anyway at $650.....I mean, they are either price fixing, or AMD is incompetently full of themselves....

This isn't a Fury X bash (I'm not a fan of it, but whatever...) but how many were actually put on sale at release? That would determine whether them being sold out everywhere meant ANYTHING AT ALL...

Considering they only had like 10 review samples for all of Europe, probably very few.

Yeah, that's kinda what I thought. I'm sure there are even some models of 980Ti that are sold out right now too. Doesn't really say much unless we know exactly how many of each were initially made available.
