  Delivery kills it.

  Plus you can get 680's and 7970's for less that perform largely identical to the 770 (maybe even slightly better depending on what you play); after all the 770 is largely a re-branded GTX 680 with a mild OC.

  Hopefully after NVidia drops the 780 Ti; both the 780 and 770 will see a good price drop and become really competitive.

    Re. Delivery - you can pick it up if you're from Melbourne.

    Hmm, you're right re. 680's and 7970's, but you'd be hard pressed to find a 680 for below $350. So a non-clearance price on a 770 for $389 is pretty good.

    I doubt it'd drop more than $30 - $40 after the 780 Ti is here though. The 770, at $389, is already comparable to the R9 280X, which is a little cheaper at around $370-ish, so after the 780 Ti launch, I'd expect it to drop to around $350. Also note that until very recently, the GTX 670 was still going for $299. So, the 770 will probably sit around the $350 mark till it's EOL and then gets cleared. Similarly, the 780 is now around $630 (EVGA from PCCG), which is cheaper than the R9 290X, which is going for around $699.

    So yeah, prices should remain pretty stagnant tbh.

      I disagree. All of the stores are desperately trying to shed GTX stock as the GTX 780Ti will put huge downward pressure on the mid-tier stuff. It's a great time to be in the market, but only from late next week. Sit tight and don't buy a new video card for now, the price crash is coming.

        Finally someone who speaks some sense.

        When something is so obviously about to happen, pays to sit tight and wait it out for a few weeks.

        Yes, but when the GTX770 has a US RRP of $329, you can't possibly expect the Australian GTX770 to drop far below this $389, given that you have to factor in 10% GST and the current exchange rate.

        Like, factoring in the exchange rate and GST, that $329 already becomes like $389, so this is still a pretty good deal.

        But sure, by all means wait for the GTX780 Ti release if you want, but again, I doubt prices will change much.

      you can pick it up if you're from Melbourne.

      Over 75% of Australia doesn't live in Melbourne; so statistically that doesn't make the lowest price for this deal feasible for a majority.

      I doubt it'd drop more than $30 - $40 after the 780 Ti is here though. The 770, at $389, is already comparable to the R9 280X, which is a little cheaper at around $370-ish, so after the 780 Ti launch, I'd expect it to drop to around $350.

      Agreed. I don't see how AMD's and NVidia's two, single-core, higher-end GPUs from the current generation can realistically fall below the $300 and $400 dollar mark respectively in the Australian market (which is where people would want them to be). America is a different story but historically, you've never seen the GTX 470/480/570/580 or the Radeon 4870/4890/5870/6970 go below $300/$400 while they were the current generation. Especially NVidia, who always follows very rigid price schedules.

    Disagree. According to Anandtech, across Far Cry 3, Infinite, Crysis 3, BF3, 770 gets almost 25% higher frames @ 1080p with ultra settings.

  I still think it's a good deal atm, nice spotting OP.
