I can only hope they get burned. I chatted with the guy on amazon who was selling his for $1,200 and asked him why he thought price gouging the card was okay.

He basically told me that it's a "sellers market" and he can do what he wants.

I can't disagree, because it's legal. But I gave him flack for thinking anyone would pay for a card that is better than a titan x but with half the MSRP.

Price gouging the card defeats the purpose of the low cost high output of the card.

It's the old law of supply and demand at work here.  And he is right, it's definitely a "sellers market".    Glad you got on him for that.

Honestly I don't know what the point of the Titan X is - maybe for people who need the professional-class stuff for rendering and such, I believe it's similar to the Quadro in that regard?
IIRC for gaming and typical home-user tasks the 980Ti scored about the same as the Titan X, which IMO renders (heh) the Titan pointless for home users. And the 1080 I believe has much higher performance than either.

What's the MSRP for a FTW in the EU? I bet it's not Australia bad but Canada's cards (just north of our damn country) has a $218 higher cost than if you bought it domestic.

I dunno what the MSRP is, but here are the prices (for the FTW) various e-tailors are currently listing at:
 
Overclockers UK: £668.99
Novatech: £699.60
Amazon: £668.99
Scan: £674.99
eBuyer: £722.99
Aria: £661.98
 
That's UK prices BTW. We're still (currently) part of the EU

These are high as well based on those prices.  1£ = $1.30 dollars (approximately).   MSRP for 1080 FTW is $679 dollars or £522

Oh that sucks. Excuse my ignorance. Nvidia and evga should build factories out there

Figures. We always get boned vs US prices. Just not as bad as some other places (like Australia). That said currently on eBay there's cards (from the US only I should note, I don't think anyone has one here yet) going for £671.29 - fairly competitive even after shipping and import fees, I've not seen any huge con prices on eBay so far. Of course, then you don't get support/warranty and have to deal with UK customs charges so not worth it for me personally.
 
XC-Volcom - Yeah, it's pretty crappy. Though it comes down to the conversion rate a lot of the time so it depends how well we're doing. TBH we get it mild compared to the total screwing over some countries get.

I have just received evidence that this whole GTX 1080 card thing is a huge hoax!
 
Yes, you have seen videos of them on YouTube. However, those were created in a NASA studio by Stanley Kubrick. (Yes, he is still alive but that is another hoax we will not go into today.)
 
None of the people in the videos are never seen anywhere in real life. You have never seen them, have you?
 
Newegg, Amazon and the other sellers of cards are all in on the  hoax.
 
Anyone that you actually know that claims to have one is either lying or is part of the hoax. (Be cautious they may be real aliens. Yes, those from outer space.)
 
AMD, feeling left out has started their own version of this hoax with a so called RX 480 card.
 
I think the whole thing is a prelude to alien invasion.
