Well worth it as compared to prices in Australia.

It is the ACX 2.0 SC+ version. Not sure how long it'll last so best to get it quick!

    Great price for a great card.

    • Agreed. Bargain for a great card. Got one on the Kogan sale a few months ago for around $400. A certain buy if you need a decent VC upgrade.

  • How do returns/DOA go for these shipped fromt he US? Much hassle paying to get then sent back and whatnot?

    • +1

      You will have to deal with evga directly. It costs about $35 to send back a card to Taiwan.

  • +3

    Thanks op,

    just got one, with postage (to Brisbane) is was a tad under 400 (398.27)

  • Hmm, very tempted. Missed out on the deal for 390 for 279, but this might be a goer..

    • which brand? from amazon?

    • +1

      If my calculations are correct, you can get this R9 290 for about $310 AUD with shipping by ShopMate
      220 USD base price
      -25 USD with code VCOBF15 (need to use Visa checkout, not sure if it will work with Aus cards though)
      Free shipping to US address
      =195 USD or ~275 AUD
      +30-40 AUD shipping to AU with code XMAS2015

        They had a G1 Gaming 390 for $279 from Amazon. It was an overkill for my needs (like this card is really, second gaming pc for 1080p gaming in lounge), so didn't end up getting it.

        Ive gone through 4 290s (all good cards, few issues with some of them) and the one you have posted was the worst (stock). I'd rather pay extra and not get one of those blowers again.

        • What was wrong with them? I was considering to order it.

        • @doperst:

          Nothing except it was hot and loud (sat at 85 degrees pretty regularly) and sounded like a jet engine. Not an issue for headphones, but still..

        • +1

          @Wally Simmonds: Glad I bought a second hand G1 Gaming 980, its really quiet and runs really cool.

        • @AMLagonda:
          Yep, I picked up a 980 TI earlier this year, pretty happy with the choice but as a long time AMD fan it gnaws at my soul =/

        • @Wally Simmonds: I had a 5970HD for a long time and it was very quiet and played all my games at high/ultra, till I got Fallout 4….
          Before that I had a 4890HD, also had 2 Geforce gtx290s but they were loud.

        • @Wally Simmonds: sounds like you either had a cheaper card with terrible cooling or your case isn't up to the task of cooling. I have the Asus 290x and it never goes above 70degrees. I did have a powercolor 7950 which blew up and it did get damn hot like you mention.

      • Let's just hope you don't have to return it.

        I thought newegg ships to AU now, as of a few days ago?

        • They do, but only selected products and shipping costs are really high.

          Anyway, I already ordered EVGA GeForce GTX 950 2GB SSC from Amazon for 205 AUD delivered.

  • dang just bought gtx 960 for 280 Aud 2 weeks ago :(

  • +1

    Is this part of the Black Friday deals in US? I wonder if this is the best price we will get or more deals on Cyber Monday…

    • +5

      Yep, I've been holding out for some decent deals. This is good but not instant-buy-now good (damn you AU dollar!)

      First world problems, I guess.

      • Yep, I went through the same thought process, word for word. At this rate I'm just going to wait until the new chips hit next year, I'm not playing anything that requires 970 levels of power at the moment.

      • 1 US$ = 3/4 of AU$

        We're back in millenium era 2000-ish

  • I bought its cousin EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB FTW a few days ago. Paid AU$464 delivered.

  • -5

    If anyone want a real 4GB graphic card. You can buy the HIS Radeon 290 from newegg

  • yeah recommend someone get this beacuse it's a pretty card + deal

  • Thank you! been waiting for the 970 price to drop and since shopping express didn't want to cut prices on it. this is perfect.

    What it like dealing with electronics from overseas? is it a hassle?

    • I've had no probs bro. (so far) I've ordered all sorts of stuff from Amazon

      • Have you return anything to them?

        • I have, no issues. The money they refund you for shipping is not going to cover shipping in my experience though.

        • @Wally Simmonds: i want to ask something oot tho, can you refund / return a brand new unopened item to them? For example i purchased gtx 960 less than 30 days and now i want to buy the gtx 970. Is that even possible? (Not bcs of defective issue etc)

        • @k3nn3th323:
          No idea. I'd ask them, but I dare say you'll probably lose out in shipping.

        • +1

          Nope, not needed to.

        • I have returned a very heavy item as DOA before ($500 aud shipping) and Amazon covered the cost.

          It was Amazon fulfilled.

  • http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00YDAYOK0/ref=twister_B00Z07KXCI?_…

    The 980 ti is also on sale w/ BP. If you use amazon locker pick up, it should be significantly cheaper. Comes around to about like ~$812 aud which is like ~$200 off what Aussie stores are offering the 980ti.

    • Big items usually don't work for parcel workers. Neither this nor the chromebook I bought yesterday are eligible for pickup at least where I live.

      • Ah righto. That's unfortunate. Where do you live? I'm in Sydney and there's plenty of spots for amazon lockers.

        • There are quite a few near me but for whatever reason bigger items don't ship to lockers. Micro sds and usbs etc work fine though.

        • My bad, woops. That's weird though. It offered me Amazon pickup for the GTX 970 listed in OP's post.

          Looking at the differences , it's not as if the GTX 980ti is significantly bigger than the 970. About 0.5 to 1 inches difference.

    Sold out.

    • In stock but may require an extra 1-2 days to process.

      • +1

        Price also went up

        • +1

          I think it's because its from a different seller.

  • You've got to be quick on these deals. You just never know. The price goes up or the shipping no longer is available for AU or some other deal breaker comes up.

  • +2

    Seriously considered this before price massively went up to $332.33
    Why does EVGA need to have nine versions of the same tech ?

    • +2

      Different GPU clocks. Cards when manufactured all perform differently with small variances. Some overclock well and some don't. To maximise their revenue, they test all their cards/chips and add in factory overclocks. That's why they have cards from $319, 329, $349 instead of them all starting at one price. It depends on the silicon lottery though, you can get lucky and overclock a cheaper version, but your factory overclock guarantees it.

    Won't post to Sydney?

    EDIT: Price has gone back up to $332.

  • Prices are fluctuating quite a bit

    The 04G-P4-2974-KR (SC GAMING ACX 2.0) was 289.99US earlier yesterday - managed to get some US credit from buying it a few days earlier for 319US

  • crazy.

  • Man I remember when I paid $500 odd dollars or so for this card 😫😫

  • Ridiculously good price. I sniped a galaxy gti 780ti accidentally, this just maaaay have been preferable but oh well- first world problems!

  • you can also get a r9 390 for like $50 more on amazon

  • DAMN I WANTED ONE BUT MISSED THIS!!!

  • Ohh wtf missed out. old 580 starting dying today(i think/blue screens on start up) think i will replace with this card. Any suggestions for price?
