Just order a 1080 upgrading from a 1060 6gb

Nvidia still sells their stuff at MSRP when it comes in stock... and not even 3 months ago they release a statement URGING retailers like newegg, amazon, etc... to ONLY SELL to people that are using the nvidia GPU's for their intended purpose....

I don't know about AMD.. But Nvidia definitely isn't the bad guy in this situation.. It's other retailers.... like EVGA, MSI, Gigabyte marking up their products and 3rd party sellers like Amazon, NewEgg, B&H Photo, Ebay Seller also marking it up...

That's my understanding.. Nvidia doesn't want their GPU used for mining.. They want it to be bought and used by gamers... The people it was designed for.
