O problema é que a nvidia está cobrando $100 a mais para quem quiser a placa no lançamento. Parece que a nvidia arrumou mais uma maneira de tirar mais dinheiro dos mais apressados.Eu acho absurdo pagar isso, mas se vc ver, nem está tão caro visto que a 980Ti se acha por esse preço ou até mais caro.
E olha que a 1080 seria a substituta da 980 que foi lançada por $550 e agora estão cobrando $700. Imaginem o quanto vão cobrar nos chips maiores que vão substituir a 980Ti.

- Every single instance of “Founder's Edition” can be replaced with the word “Reference,” using previous-gen nomenclature. There is not one difference in its market positioning. They are synonymous. NVidia has replaced its “Reference” name with “Founder's Edition.”
- There are not two GTX 1080 models made by nVidia. Only the “Founder's Edition” exists; there is not a cheaper card made by nVidia than the $700 Founder's Edition, which ships first.
- Just to be clear: nVidia is making one official GTX 1080 and one official GTX 1070 model.
- The “Founder's Edition” is not specially binned.
- The “Founder's Edition” is not pre-overclocked.
- The “Founder's Edition” uses the new industrial design and cooler from nVidia. Historically, this is what we would call the “reference cooler.” The cooler is more-or-less identical to the previous reference models. It's got vapor chamber cooling, a VRM blower fan, and a large alloy heatsink under the shroud. There is a backplate on the GTX 1080 Founder's Edition.
- This card is not "limited edition," despite its name that would indicate as much, and will run production through the life of the GTX 1080 product line.
