Understanding the BD Hardware Market

[UzuShin]

I'm new to PC gaming. My current PC is the first I have ever built myself.

So I have no prior experience about the PC hardware market in bd.

With Pascal/Polaris right around the corner. I'm curious to know how long it takes for new GPUs to come to bd after the US release. Also how is the pricing done? will they charge the usual 100tk/dollar they already charge or will they charge more. Like if a gtx 1070 is priced at 350$ will they sell it for 30~35k or will it be even more overpriced?

I really want to get a next gen GPU and am already saving up for it. So considering the bd market when would be the ideal time to sell my current GPU? I don't mind sacrificing a month or two of gaming if it means I'll get a good price.

At 1st they will charge a hefty premium for high end model so if u r looking for one get it from abroad.

the midrange cards on the other hand are somewhat correctly priced.

Yes, you can expect a price of around 34k for GTX 1070. I am saving up for it too. Will get it in December of this year.

good question :v nobody knows...


some gpu seller in BD do sell new released gpu at 105-115tk instead of 100tk. i remember them selling 340$ gpu at 38.5k... though slowly price gets reduced.


usually new gpu comes in BD ~1.5 months after intl release (amd, for nvidia i think it will take at least 2 to 3) (sadface)

i think i am gonna need an answer on that question too

edit: we now have vanguard support... so we might be able to get gpus sooner than before

I have gone through some news/articles about nVidia's upcoming Pascal series GPU which probably will be released in June/July '16. I've noticed that most sources cover news/information about only two variants of Pascal GPU which are 1070 and 1080, does this mean those who want to buy entry/mid level Pascal GPU will have to wait quite a while till nVidia releases entry/mid level GPU with Pascal architecture (something like 1050 or 1060)? I wanted to buy a GTX950 next month but upon reading some facts about the new generation of nVidia GPU, it seems Pascal will have massive improvement over Maxwell so I'm in a dilemma now. Does anyone know anything about the announcement of other 10xx series GPUs apart from 1070 and 1080? Will nVidia even consider doing that this year?

Would something like a 1070/490 be fairly priced?

@furiousTaher It takes 2-3 months for nvidia :O. Does that meab we might get something like a r9 490 before a 1070 here in bd?

December? It'll take that long?

[furiousTaher]

nvidia and amd always release mid range gpu chips 6 months/8months after releasing flagship... except when rebranding previous years products

It will come to BD sometime in September, as per Vanguard bro. I will wait the other 3 months for the pricing to stabilize and do research in the meanwhile as to which brand of GTX 1070 will fit my purpose.

So the New Titan and x80ti will be out first?

Interesting, so I guess I can keep my GPU for a little longer without worrying about it getting devalued right away.

Sacre bleu! I am a man, monsieur.

NOOOHHH...!!! Your card is perfectly capable for at least 2-3 years mi thinks monsieur.

@furiousTaher:That means entry/mid range Pascal GPUs won't be released till October/November (could be December) 2016 in international market so they might be available in Bangladesh in March/April 2017. I guess I'm better off buying GTX950 next month then.

its possible for them to release x60/1060 after 3 months of releasing x80. .... anything can happen. i think this time nvidia will try to be unforgiven and try to pounce on amd to achieve 95% share.

Yeah, but I wanna be able to play games at 1080p60 maxed out. The 390/970 already can't play games like "the division" at 60fps without downgrading to PS4 equivalent settings.

@furiousTaher when do you think the 1070 will be out?
