Hi Folks,
We have another 4090 deal up for grabs for the same price as we posted on release. These are in stock and ready to go, so they will be ready for next business day dispatch.
Cheers,

Damn this is like 2000x the price my 1st hand kit kat bar
I know right?!?!
Jimmy thinks this card worth $500. I paid my plumber $300 for 20 mins job.
Jimmy needs reality check, and a good shrink.
Mr Beast Jimmy?
Is Jimmy in the room with you right now?
Point on the doll where Jimmy touched you.
I hope you're not a nurse named Annie and I really hope that Jimmy isn't the name of your favourite author…
how many eneloop?
Does your second hand car have 16,384 Cuda cores?
No, but a springy antenna on top
but it does have an overclock button
Back in the day, dads/grandads would ask if kids wanted him to press the turbo button (and then stomp the accelerator)… Often a random/unused button on the dash, where we could see cause & effect.
I tried it years later, on my own car… found out my car had a windscreen water pump LOL. All those years of thinking just wipers (by turning the same knob).
Many experts on ozb thinks a GPU is a like a toaster, you can make your own in a garage with $20 materials.
facts
Does your second hand car have 16,384 Cuda cores?
Mine only had 16,383 Cuda cores. No wonder this costs 2.5 x more than my first car.
seen the prices of second hand cars these days? Rav4 sells for MORE than you buy them for
It's called SUV blindness
Turn Rav 4 what?
Not for much longer….
Explain?
4/5'ths the price of my first.
And half the size.
Would this fit in the NR200P Max case?
Product Size: 329.4 x 141.6 x 69.7mm
Looks like the power cable could be an issue pending style and location
Case
L: 336mm (incl. power connector), H: 160mm (incl. power connector), W: 75mm (triple slot)
https://preview.redd.it/tjqaxkd1k0x91.jpg?width=4000&format=…
Looks like someone has already put it in their NR200 case, I'' need to get a new power adapter tho
@Magik: if this dfoesn't fit the Ventus is even shorter
@Magik: The NR200P Max is slightly different to the NR200P case where the GPU is mounted vertically. I've seen the PNY XLR8 4090 fitting inside the NR200P Max case and that card is just a little bigger than this Gainward one.
@Davesday: Noice thats really positive news,thanks Dave!
The NR200P's maximum GPU clearance is 336x160x75, so it should fit. My only concern would be how close the card's fans would be to the tempered glass side panel as the card would be vertically mounted
Edit: For reference, a 4090 FE managed to fit but I think this Gainward card is slightly bigger https://www.instagram.com/p/CjmRIqTL_mT/?hl=en
There's no way you'd go a 4090 with the tempered glass side surely? I would also thing the power connector thing would be a struggle.
For some reason I thought it only came with the TG version but you're 100% right, going with the mesh version is a must
Will be a tight fit, Clearances - Graphics Card
L: 336mm (incl. power connector), H: 160mm (incl. power connector), W: 75mm (triple slot)
It will fit but I would recommend getting a custom cable anyhow.
I have a PNY 4090 in my nr200p that is wider than this card.
Gamers nexus did a very good analysis of price vs die size of each new nvidia release over the past few years. Basically the 4000 series is way over priced.
40 and 7000 series are poorly priced, such a mark up
the video was mainly aimed at the 4080 since the performance per $ is really bad. 4090 is actually ok.
The prices they compare have the 4080 at 75% of the price of a 4090. It's more like 66% for Australian prices. So not as bad.
No offence man but I made a post like last week specifically for comments like yours.
It’s reported by all channels that these are already expensive meanwhile we never get close to good exchange in comparison to the US and highly inflated MSRP yet because it’s % is more balanced you’re ready to say ‘it’s actually ok’.
Guess what man, it’s not OK at all.
@aaronmr: You're putting words in my mouth. I didn't say it's ok. The point is that people say to get the 4090 over the 4080 because it gives 30% better performance for 30% more. But in Australia it's actually 50% more, so the argument to always get a 4090 over a 4080 is weaker.
No point complaining about Australian markup, it isn't going to change.
@Jespur: I getchu but seeing the words it’s not bad tied to pricing in any form irks me all the same
I bought my 1080Ti on launch day for $1200, these prices are crazy.
Given we've seen inflation across many industries between 20-40%, that makes the 4080 not seem quite as bad (relative to the general market).
It's only an insulting price increase (relatively), not crazy, IMO.
@ssfps: This would be true if the 4080 were an 80ti but it's an 80 so the adjustment after inflation is still large, I'll explain.
GTX 1080 (the correct comparison), launched in Australia for $1299 AUD, and it was ridiculous. When the 1080ti launched they (Nvidia) took the opportunity to set the 80 class back to $500 USD, which translated here to about $950-1000 AUD. That's 2017.
Despite us being at around 7-7.5% inflation in Australia quarterly adjusted, using the RBA's inflation calc for a 6 year period, adjusting $1000 in 2016* then to today's value is, rounding up, $1100 AUD.
Best deal I can find on a 4080, that's in stock $2099, which is practically double.
So, no, I don't think assessing the technology bubble inflation %, though an interesting number and I'd like to see the source of that if you have it, I don't think that's a proper way for consumer to reflect on the price/s of PC components, since they should only factor in the wider economic market. When they spent $1000 in 2017, what would they be spending in 2022 for the equivalent product? Not an RTX 4080, the price has gone up.
*2016-2021 was used as 2022 is not in the calculator, it won't impact the results drastically.
@conza: I look at the prices of the new cards and think screw that, my entire computer almost cost the same price as these stupid cards. I'm surviving atm with my 1080ti so when that dies then I'll have to consider a new card and I'll probably go AMD this time.
@Mooncakes: Right there with you, also a 1080ti, pretty glad I didn't want a new PC during the 20, 30 or now 40 series, I'm at 5+ years on mine now so, could be that the silicon just wears out, they tend to with Nvidia stuff after a good while, 6-8 years seems like a typical run - Good luck!
@Mooncakes: My whole PC cost half this in 2020, and plays games just fine.
I love 120FPS and 4k as much as the next PC hardware addict, but at some point you have to use some common sense and not buy things for triple what they are worth.
I can wait until they've milked all the suckers and reduced price to cater for the bottom 99% of the market.
I got my 3080 on launch day for $1250?
@jonathonsunshine: Is that a question?
@jonathonsunshine: I don't think $50 is a huge premium over 4 years is all
@jonathonsunshine: Eh, never attempted to buy 3000 series but even I know you're missing a small truck load of context.
@bboT: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/566682
I still had to wait like 3 months… by the time I got it, I wasn't eligible to claim the Watch Dogs: Legion giveaway XD
Coronavirus aside and much like the PS5, they released a good product with a fairly decent price, so they were always gonna be popular.
People say the PS5 was a paper launch but they sold more consoles than the PS4 over the same lifetime.
Tie that in with everyone at home bored etc etc
@jonathonsunshine: And ethereum.
Did they factor in wafer cost in the comparison?
So what you're saying is, the hardware is lacking so nvidia has to use software to make it good??
So we have to pay for NVIDIA enticing the enterprise market to purchase their hardware and subscribe to their software solutions?
its amazing you need a detailed video to come to that conclusion 🙃
Great price for this high end GPU.
Does this come with burning power cables?
Look up PCIE 6, 8 and 24 pin cable ends melting before going on about 12/16 pins cable ends melting as it's user/builder error.
so is that a no
No it will not melt if it is correctly plugged in.
@TheFinal1: I own a card that uses the connector. Its not obvious at all if its fully plugged in or not. Theres no click and the retention clip is obscured by the heatsink. There is no getting around the fact the plug is poorly designed compared to every other connector in the same PC (well except the front panel switch/LED pin block. Thats not going to start a fire though),
@surg3on: USB 3 header says hi
No, it also doesn't come with old jokes either
no but you should stop listening to morons in reddit who wont admit it was their fault
Next cheapest in AU seemed to be this dodgy looking 'mystery 4090 card draw' for 2999$ so I say this here is a deal alright.
Slightly off topic but we are now two weeks away from CES, who want to guess at how much performance deficit we will be looking at for the rumoured 4090 mobile?
“Mystery, it’ll be the cheapest card they can find, maybe even preowned
Apparently there's an equal chance of getting any of the cards listed, and the system picks randomly.
Not sure I'm buying it.
i trust that as much as I trust ebay shops not to jack prices before an ebay discount code! Unless they are publishing the draws to date, I'd say 99% will be a battle axe!
The real mystery is who's dumb enough to buy it.
I love how it says "Guaranteed to win an RTX 4090". I'd sure hope so after paying $2999
Good chance more people are buying these for productivity
Genuine question, what kind of productivity use case where you can get much more with 4090 that you can't get with 3000 series like 3070?
This is an insane price for "productivity", not that I don't believe you
youd be surprised how quickly you can fill even 12gb vram. I end up running my 3060 ti at 100% commonly in blender and what i do with it isnt even that intensive, personally ill be buying a 3080 for productivity after seeing the 7900xtx perform on par with it in blender, i have no interest in 40 series due to cooling (sffpc owner) and 7000 well i gave my reason. I do agree the price is extreme tho
@Pugkin: This doesn't make sense… if you can can fill 12gb relatively easily, surely the 20/24gb on the 7900xt/x has to be more attractive than the 10/12gb on a 3080.
@nitens: not the same, 3080 performs on par with 7900xtx despite reaching ~half the price in the past, the fault of AMD ignoring the productivity field
for one, ML tasks…. you run a lot of simulations and you don't want to waste your life away waiting.
and you don't have a budget big enough to splurge on GPU clusters or cloud GPU compute.
back when aws deepracer local sim is a thing (i'm sure things has changed now)… it still takes hours/days of running it to get the stupid car to drive right + fast.
I run alot of stable diffusion AI for generating images and video. it absolutely can bring any GPU to it's knees, but the upshot is unlimited horrifying rendered hands.
Training a stable diffusion model can just be done on a 12gb card but with a lot of cut corners in quality. It ideally needs a 24gb card to do properly.
My 3060 has turned out to a surprising beast for that with the large vram which people said was a useless gimmick. Beyond that only the 3090 and 4090 are really worth stepping up to for this task.
If you are an enthusiast looking to play games at 4K with everything set to max then it makes sense.
For most people turning down the ray tracing and using DLSS is a better option then spending $3k on a GPU.
Well, Nvidia got CDPR to re-release TW3 so poorly optimised that a 4090 is needed to use RT in that game lol.
This isn’t the right take. VR, triple monitor racing sims, 4K 120hz, heck even ultra wide gaming will take all the GPU grunt you can feed it. Just because you only know “console ports” it doesn’t mean there aren’t a whole lot of games and setups that will take this beast.
That isn't even what he said. 😕
no hes saying there are possible uses to use such a high end card, its great for productivity (something nvidia rules without competition)
The state of the gaming industry these days :(
Don't be foolish, there are plenty of games taking advantage of high frames at 4K.
That's said every generation, but console game limitations are just for graphic fidelity.
Using a high end card can allow you to pump out higher frame rates, or native 4k resolution without the upscaling tech required on consoles to hit 4k.
4k 120hz, yeah there is.
I would never pay this much for a toy, but to say that there are no games that would use it is ludicrous.
This is like those people that say CPUs are "plenty fast enough" now, that single core isn't a bad bottleneck.
They've got some very narrow idea of what a PC can do and is for. PC users will consume any available compute and there is never enough to do a variety of tasks. If we suddenly had the power of 20 4090s available for $1k games would suddenly look incredible with enormous detailed path traced GI-lit environments, running at a smooth 200Hz, yet we would still want more to be able to run it at 8K to remove more aliasing.
Here's a fun idea, if you applied that mindset to a microcomputer in the 80s, you would be asking why even bother with persistent storage (HDDs/SSDs) since all games being made just load from the FDD anyway.
pffft the 4090 can't even max out 4k 60 without using some form of upscaling technology, it's not even that performant - just overpriced.
Dayz on 4k high is between 30-60FPS on high settings with my 3080. The 4000 series is a massive leap forward if you have 4k.
Wow cheaper than what a 3090 Ti's was in less than a year.
RIP for those who paid the price for that.
Damn, half the price of my second hand car!
