Galax GTX1080 and GTX1070 look very good.

Brilliant review by PC Gamer on the 'GTX 1070'
http://www.pcgamer.com/the-geforce-gtx-1070-review/

I've chat with a local seller who said that only ACX3 SC and FTW will be brought in. 

Any shop doing GTX1070 preorder?

jeesus, RM3599 for GTX1080

what were the manufacturer smoking these days to mark it up so much?

Idealtech pricelist, its there. not sure if its final pricing

the cheapest is Palit at RM3399

its already sold

i saw that too, got walloped so fast

Darn good price lor if custom cooler get sub RM 3.3k.

It's been years no upgrade, I m still using GTX 660Ti. So this time it is a big upgrade for me. Let's hope my pocket is big enough. 

With all this discussion about 1070 & 1080. I wonder how many of you are going to upgrade to 1440p or 4K monitors ?

Or stick back to 1080p monitors. 

I am still using a non 1080p mon (22" 1680x1050). Upgrading 1080p seems not too much difference, where as 1440p or 4K quite expensive > RM2.5K. If I buy 1440p mon + GTX 1080, it will cost me around RM 6K 

here is a review of the 1070 that explores the question, should the bang for buck user skip over the 1080 and go for the 1070?

At the moment 1070 or 1080 is rare. I want to get non foundation card, hopefully cheaper.
Right now, monitor is available for purchase.
OK. I am aiming for 1440p Gsync with 144hz. Think of getting Acer XB271HU, 27" can still fit my desk. It cost >RM3K,
rather expensive IMO, could probably buy a big TV. Hands already itchy... 

IMO 4K monitors is just not there yet, with 60hz refresh rate. Currently I think, 1440p and 4K monitors is early adopters' market. Limited choices and probably next 2 years or so will drop price maybe to RM2k region.

Now I ponder 2 plans,

Plan A,
Buy XB271HU Monitor with GTX 1080 Estimate Cost RM6K++

Plan B,
Buy 24" (1080p Gsync 144hz) Monitor with GTX 1070 (or lower spec GPU). Estimate Cost RM4K

Choices, choices.

Plan C:

Buy XB271HU Monitor and GTX1070

guys, i'm really thinking if a 1070 would really be an overkill as I would only like to play max settings on a 1080p output at 60 fps. what will be a good alternative to a 1070?

so non FE ones will likely be higher or lower?

It won't matter cause all the custom cooler non reference design on the market seems to oc the same or less than fe. And I see the main gaming and gigabyte ones costing more in Seoul atm.

Some ppl complained Malaysia pricing on the cards let me tell u in seoul the cheapest card is around 950 usd here so Malaysia actually have quite good pricing.

Rent is higher food cost more not everyone lives in their parents basement rent free 

EVGA has international warranty.

Also, probably have custom duties also.

whelp, RIP my plans to buy on day one

its just too much, cant justify dumping 2.4k on a single PC component at all

looks like longer days ahead with my GTX780
