The graphic chip maker Nvidia has announced, with which euro price the GeForce GTX 1070 as “Founders Edition” to the release date on 10 June will start. According to this, interested buyers must expect 499 euros as a non-committal price recommendation from the manufacturer (EIA). This amount is approximately the converted US dollar price (449 USD) plus local VAT.
Should you strike now?
The price of 499 euros for the Geforce GTX 1070 appears very high, but there is no reason for concern: it is the costs for the so-called "Founders Edition". This is mainly aimed at early adopters, who want to have the latest hardware as early as possible. Custom designs should start according to Nvidia's announcement for $ 379. This could be just over 400 euros.
A look at the Geforce GTX 1080 allows a corresponding forecast for the price of the Geforce GTX 1070. Nvidia gave the price of the "GTX 1080 Founders Edition" with 699 US Dollar. Since the release on 27th May different shops call 789 euros for the high-end graphics card. Custom designs can already be ordered for as little as € 719 (according to online price comparisons) - for example from Gainward or EVGA.
Who plans to play in 4K and with VR glasses, should put on the new, powerful graphics cards. If Full-HD is enough, it will also be happy with the predecessor generation. At the moment the prices are falling. So there was already the Zotac Geforce GTX 970 at Amazon for under 260 euros including Roccat mouse and mouse pad. Ebay is currently waiting for an overclocked and quietly trimmed Asus Geforce GTX 970 Strix OC for 279 euros.
