Nvidia in GDC 2017 keynote announced that it will be offering significant GeForce GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 price cuts which already went live yesterday. There are now custom models of the GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 that come pre-bundled with a GeForce game with prices ranging from $499.99 to $599.99 for the top-tier chip and $369.99 to $399.99 for the mid-range.

Enthusiasts and high-end gamers will have much to celebrate with the GeForce GTX 1080 price cuts as the high-end chips become more affordable at $499 from original $599 price. The card was launched in May 2016 using the GP104 GPU with 2560 CUDA and leveraging on NVIDIA's FinFET architecture for extreme overclocking as demonstrated in its launching. The GTX 1080 has 8GB of the next-generation and faster GDDR5X memory across 256-bit bus with a boost of over 352 GB/s as compared to its 320 GB/s when it first shipped.

The GeForce GTX 1080 price cuts are now featured and available in Newegg and Amazon with pre-bundled games like the "Ghost Recon: Wildlands" or "For Honor" according to wccftech. Newegg offers the best deals like the MSI GTX 1080 DUKE OC 8GB 1847 MHz Boost with GeForce game bundle for $499.99 or Gigabyte's GTX 1080 Turbo OC 8GB 1797 MHz Boost with GeForce game bundle for the same price. Also at Newegg is the EVGA GTX 1080 FTW Hybrid 8GB 1860 MHz Boost with game bundle for $589.99 while the Aorus GTX 1080 Extreme OC 8GB 1936 MHz Boost with game bundle is at $599.99. Amazon sells the ZOTAC GTX 1080 AMP! Edition 8GB 1822 MHz Boost with GeForce game bundle for $549.99.

NVIDIA also offers not only the GeForce GTX 1080 price cuts but also the GTX 1070 now only $349 from the original price of $379. The GTX 1070 ranks high in performance-to-price ratio with a competitive price for a card that is deemed faster than the flagship product of rivals. Gamers may now experience 1440p gaming using advanced Visual Quality and 8GB of GDDR5 memory. Amazon is now selling the Gigabyte GTX 1070 Windforce 8GB 1771 MHz Boost with GeForce game bundle or the Gigabyte GTX 1070 Mini OC 8GB 1746 with GeForce game bundle for only $369.99 each.

Incidentally, the GeForce GTX 1080 price cuts in the U.K. are also bringing significant impact to the PC gaming market despite the weakness of the pound according to Hexus. Several e-tailers like SCAN, Aria, OCUK, eBuyer, Box, Novatech and Amazon offer custom models by third-party manufacturers for less than £500. Asus Strix graphics cards like the 1080 Advanced A8G Gaming is now only £579 when last week it was priced from £669 to £699.
