As part of a pre-black Friday sale that is going on at Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/b/ref=amb_link_426234062_6?ie=UTF8&nod…

I found a great deal on the VGA EVGA GeForce GTX 970 Superclocked ACX 2.0 4GB GDDR5 256bit for $416.23 and $13.94 shipping = $430.17 Delivered.

Very nice card and EVGA seem to be good on their international warranties, you just need to cover the posting to Taiwan.

  • Cheaper by about $100+ according to staticice.

    I believe there is actually an EVGA Australian branch so you might be able to get them to on forward it to their HQ to lessen your own costs?

    I'm personally going to wait til the end of year to see if there are any massive deals on the reference model… I don't care for the factory OC versions as you can easily diy and would save around $20.

    Great price for this card though.

      I sent a dead EVGA card back for warranty earlier this year. No Australian service centre (at least at that time) and postage to Taiwan started at about $60 (auspost, not courier, and not even express or insured - you'd probably want to pay more like $100 for peace of mind).

      They sent back a replacement, in working order, though, so that's good. Nice card. But yeah, global warranty as long as you're ready to spend the $60-100 if you have to.

      • Hmm, that's a shame… I thought they had a CS centre or something in Aus. Do they cover the postage if the item is actually faulty or do you cover it regardless?

        • +1

          No, you pay to send, they pay to send it back.

          (Pretty frustrating - if they had a single service centre in Aus (or even NZ) buying EVGA cards online would be a decent deal because postage would only be like $15-30. They'd sell thousands more, I reckon.)

        • @mgowen:

          I disagree about the thousands bit - I think most people either are unaware they don't have a service centre or take the risk because they have a statistically low chance of being affected by it.

          It'd take an absolute bare minimum of 100k to have a service centre in this country and that's a lot of people who are actually bothering to read warranty terms :-)

  • Title is probably wrong, no need for the extra VGA

    May wanna consider the MSI though, I hear they are currently the crew to beat for silent (or at elast very quiet) video cards

  • Hmmm, there has been other EVGA GTX970s for nearer $330 in the past. I precise the benefits of this model, but I'm gonna keep holding out for Black Friday deals nearer to that $330 mark again.

    Edit I see they still have the $349 versions kicking around. That's close!

    Looks like it qualifies for a free game: Far Cry 4, Assassin's Creed: Unity, or The Crew (pick one)
    T&C

  • Hmmm, worth upgrading over Radeon R9 280x?

  • erm, you guys do know that this has pretty much been the price on amazon since launch?

  • +1

    $349 is pretty much the Day 1 price. Hope these new GTX900s will be on sale during black friday or cyber monday.

    • +1

      $349 is the day 1 price for the reference cards, this has a custom cooler on it so will be slightly more expensive. As I haven't researched GPUs in a while since I dont need to replace my main machine's GPUs yet, I am not sure if these have a custom PCB on them, but this will also contribute to the higher cost.

      Either way, US$349 for a GTX 970 with an after market cooler and factory OC is actually a bargain regardless of brand. Of course it would be even more of a bargain if it was aus stock as well XD

    Just ordered the Gigabyte G1 970 for around 382$US shipped from amazon store, not gigabyte store. Shows a shipping date of 21st November.
    Thought for additional 20-30$ might aswell get better cooling.

    Update: Was charged 438.79 AU$ on cc. Not bad I guess.
