$729 for the EVGA one
Edit: It's sold out now
Oh wow.. 7 series came out earlier than I expected.
I think I'd be looking at 760Ti or 770 though.

Several of their 700 series cards are rebrands. Same silicon, different firmware.
It might worth looking at the old 600 series like gtx 670 if these rebrands are turn out to be true. hopefully the 600 price will drop soon.
note that 670 is vanilla 680, one of the 670 card beat out 680 straight on:

$150 dearer than US again, good job Australia!
gst? import duty? australia tax?
One you add gst the price difference is not alot. Our wages are also significantly higher than in the states especially for the working poor. You are welcome to leave Australia and emigrate to the United States if you wish.
So you happy with everything financially in Australia?
As an ex working class poor worker from Canada YES! Australians have it so good… And easy. Been here for ten years and I have no idea why people complain. Mark69 nailed it with his comment.
Oh and I run a business of my own which puts me in a higher risk category than most. So if I'm not complaining …
'working poor' way to look down on the working class.
Serious? Its not about class but an actual term in relation to a social issue.

Read mate. Volumes have been written about it along with documentaries. I lived it for the first 25 years of my life so… yah. Australia is hands down the easiest country in the world and anyone who complains about prices here needs really reflect about how much opportunity and advantage they have.
She works hard for the money So hard for it honey
just because we have it easy doesn't give any reason to be shafted by big companies.
While I understand the extra costs associated with importing and distributing in Australia, it cannot amount to such a large difference.
Google's Australia Tax on the Nexus devices is around $50 which is a reasonable amount.
$150 extra for a graphics card is outrageous.This is probably not shoppingsquare's fault but the supplier/distributor.
Most of these cards came from the same factory in China? why would it be more expensive to transport it here than to US?
780 is selling $650 in US:

Mark69 nailed it with his comment.
You meant mark96?
People who have voted mark96 down for his comment have no idea what the world is like outside Australia. Anyone who likes to compare the price of AU goods with US goods by comparing the exchange rate - do you expect to pay twice as much as the US when the AUD drops down to 50 US cents? Do RRPs stay relatively the same or do they double in price? Mark96 is spot on.
I just imported an LCL of stock from China into Australia consisting of 4 CBM. For 90% of it I was charged 5% tariff on it all plus the crazy expensive port clearance fees of close to $600. The tariff for the same goods going into Canada would have been 0 plus the port clearance fees and other associated charges are much lower. Also my business tax in Canada/USA would be lower in general.
So between GST and port fees there is an easy 16% price difference. Now I pay an employee a fairly standard wage and he costs about 2.3x as much as an American/Canadian worker doing the equivalent job.
The rent I pay on a warehouse is about twice as much along with other fees associated with running a business.
Bookkeeping is more, accounting is more… lease on a vehicle is much higher.. phone/internet and even packaging supplies. Oh and rego is a retarded system that is way too much… Don't get me started on how much we pay to ship goods around Australia as I eat a large portion of that to remain somewhat competitive.
As a consumer it's easy to go "oh yeah we pay $150 more so we are getting shafted… Australia sucks boo hoo…" but really you aren't paying a whole lot more.
As others have pointed out - go overseas and live in other countries and see what it is like. Everything isn't so black and white and based on pure retail numbers. Heaps of stuff going on…
As I stated before - I run my own business and what I do is way more sensitive to currency fluctuations and the retail environment on the whole than any average consumer will ever be able to relate to. I'm doing alright so I don't see why people who are fully employed and concerned about the difference in the price for a video card have to complain about.
Go the supermarket and look at all the food you can afford to buy.
the problem with you statement, third gear, is that the rest of us are also hit with the same expensive gst, leasing costs, accounting, phone/internet etc on an individuals basis
the busineses have no reason to cry poor and charge more. the margins should at least be proportional, but they are not
our wages arent high relative to the cost of living
Not really… I mean I'm paying for phone/internet/lease and what not twice. Once for the business as part of operating costs and once again for personal consumption. I take a wage out of my business and don't whinge a single peep about prices here and as a business owner who depends on himself for every $ earned I'm extremely cautious of all outgoings.
My issue isn't with paying these items as regardless of where business is operated it has to be paid. Just that these bills are substantially lower compared to the North American counter part. GST is irrelevant but does account for some price differentiation. When I was living in Ontario last it was 15% tax on top of the price you saw so ten is easy. So if a business over seas can operate at a lower operating cost guess what - they can sell goods for less. There are also heaps of free trade agreements in place none of which Australia has in place I believe.
And yes our wages are high relative to the cost of living - min wage worker here has it easy compared to those back home in North America. Veg is cheap .. milk is a dollar and bread is a buck and half.

Get episode #101 and watch that… might highlight what I was referring to in regards to the working poor. I believe those on the dole here make more money than those who work full time hours on min wage in USA. Don't hold me to that as I'm not firm on the $$'s off the top of my head.
Margins are quite fair in the industries I have worked in the passed from furniture, home electronics and also the I.T. component industry. It's really easy to view everything from the outside and make judgements about how evil corporations are ripping us off but it really isn't the case in most instances when a physical product is traded. Digital mediums - 100% it should be a globally set price as no physical goods are traded.
Anyways - I've said enough in this thread all of which has nothing to do with the actual product. :) Australia is awesome! Lucky us!
This is NOT a bargain. It is RRP!
A good deal is this card for US prices ie. $650Just waiting for a 7970 OC for around $350. Reputable brand like Asus or Sapphire. Saw an ASUS 7970 DCUII for $350 at a MSY clearance but someone bet me to it :(
I hope this means older cards start to come down in price soon.
HD 4000 performs admirably but I really would like to have a really nice mid-range (7870) cards, been waiting for them to drop closer to (or below) $200.Besides, it's almost winter now and a GPU can double as a small heater.
same as this http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/104283
