>Nvidia promised the gtx 1070 would be around $350

Most likely...
>Nvidia sells them wholesale for about $200-250 with $350 MSRP for basic OEM-style cards
>Jewish retailers jack up the price because muh supply and demand

Wait a few months and prices will drop. How it goes every time the newest GPU is hot shit.

MSRP is not a promise
AIB cards aren't sold by Nvidia, nor does Nvidia price them.

What's the best 1070 to buy? I'm thinking the MSI Gaming X.
