| JEMC said: I don't know how bad is the exchange rate for you, but both the Fury X and the 980Ti are advertised as $649. Here in Spain it's impossible to find the 980Ti for less than 749€, and who knows how AMD's partners will price the Fury X. |
I actually noticed a slight price reduction on some 980Ti's here over the weekend. Only a few hundred SEK, but still about 3-4%. Could be more when the Fury X arrives, should it prove to be the better of the two from a technical standpoint.
But, yes, the prices of top GPU's are ridiculous. A 980Ti costs about half the amount I paid for my last car (which was Spanish... 
).
I see Curl-6's point as well though; 1080p and 60 fps was touted as something we would get to enjoy in almost all our games with the PS3 and 360 and, yet, not even the PS4 and Xbox One are able to do it properly. Consoles are really moving very slowly hardware-wise, there's a reason why they're were all so (relatively) cheap this gen compared to the PS3's early days.
