There's still plenty of old shit on eBay...
In 2004 I had a bad experience with a CPU I bought on eBay that the seller had overcocked to hell and sold broken. Never again.

Yeah, but what about the 1070s still on the market? Wouldnt retailers be dropping the price on those, because the newer cards are both cheaper and well, newer?
In essence Xero has the right idea, once the 2XXX series is released the 1XXX series will start to be discounted, obviously if there is still stock on the market. One other option is to go second hand. I've bought second hand GFX cards in the past, and I don't ever remember having any problems with em.

Confirm anything!!! I just want some price drops already on the 1070!
If the leaks are to be believed, the 2070 is going to launch soon at a lower price than the 1070, with slightly better performance.
That sounds a little...stupid...to me. Why/How would the 2070 be faster and cost less?
Both companies have launched newer iterations at lower price points in the past. Think about it for a second. "faster" is just a consequence of refreshed tech or manufacturing refinements.

It's a refresh gen, same like what they did with the... was it the 680? It was just a refresh of the 580? And that was also spun into the 770, so the same card essentially appeared in 3 different generations. Each time some very mild optimizations appeared, and the price dropped, but was essentially the same chip.
Supposedly, same shit happening with the 2xxx series. The 3xxx series is their next architecture Volta.

WTF, so they're changing the numbering scheme again? Why no 1100s?
It seems unlikely they'd go to a 2000 series, especially since it's not really a big change from the 1000. Dunno. Slick may just be bad at numbers.
And Dr_donkles, yes, it IS a Ferrari, so you won't be buying it for the price of a Corolla.

This is how the marketing executives make it look like they're doing something. 'We need to show the customers how fresh and new our cards are and by that I mean we've refreshed our old new cards. Thus hence forth we shall increase model numbers by the sum of 1000, no more no less. Brilliant yes? Now where's my bonus?'
