Currently 'out of stock', so therefore a backorder/preorder and will ship when stock becomes available.
Not sure how long this is going to last, as from past GTX1080 listings, even the 'Temporarily out of stock. Order now and we'll deliver when available' page will disappear after a few hours as Amazon is hammered with pre-orders.
CamelCamelCamel.
$591 is the approximate AUD value if you pay for it in USD with a fee free card such as 28 degrees or bankwest zero.
Oh right thank you :)
Thanks for putting it in the Op…
Do CBA have any cards like this?
If you have a card with no currency exchange fees, pay by USD and let your card do the exchange rate (Citibank / 28 Degrees / etc.).
amazing price
I'm assuming that this is going to be the best price for us aussies? :( :)?
The card's RRP is only $379 US, so there'll be cheaper cards once the introductory scalping period blows over. We're definitely not going to see cards this cheap locally, though.
Isn't the RRP USD $449? or it's just the FE price?
That's just FE yeah.
Also depends on what value the AUD by the time the price drops come around. If it hits 0.65 you're going to be paying more.
Just adding a little fuel bargain panic fire. Have fun guys.
Waiting for the GTX 2080 next Christmas.
Im running my S3 ViRGE and passing it through my Voodoo2 12 MB.
I can wait for the next gen….
pfft I'm running a voodoo banshee, in PCI
has voodoo 2s SLI'd back in the dizzay, were they ISA cards lol
Hehe had a Banshee back in the days as well. Couldn't afford a Voodoo 2…
@scotty:
Voodoo2 SLI with a US Robotics V90 56kbit modem was the only way to be pro in comps playing Quake II
I was playing kingpin deathmatch with a netcomm 33.6 modem. I remember my internet quota was 30 hours a month with Camtech Internet lol…folks werent happy when I breached that and they got a huge bill when I found kingpin, team fortress classic and quake online….man logging into a server took ages!
@Scoobth: I went to the Matrox Millennium G400, bitches! Fastest card around, oh yeah, so what if OpenGL based games ran like shit. Using a wrapper on the OpenGL to call Direct3D was genius, or very tardy… not sure.
It was a pity seeing 3DFX go down the toilet…glide was still better than heaps of shit years after.
@FabMan: Prior to that, the Mystique 220 was the best bang for buck. But then I changed over to the m3d. These were the days!
Younger computer owners get excited at 5% improvements, bah!
Going from a 60Mhz CPU to a 133MHz felt like the massive improvement it was, not just witnessing a benchmark number getting higher. Slipping in the 3D card alongside the 2D card felt like raw power! I wonder how many times I ran those early benchmark tests? (Sheds a tear for the past).
I got the GeForce 3 when it was first released, like the NVIDIA 1080, it was the king of GPU's at release. I'm not sure if people remember 3D before Texture and Lighting technique (first introduced with GeForce 3), but man that was the biggest jump in gaming visuals I ever experienced.
Completely agreed! Was sooo effing amazing when i first saw q3a in 3d…
Made me jump out and buy a second hand voodoo because that's all i could afford. Craziest jump ever going from 2d to a 3d card.
@FabMan: the exciting thing now is more power usage and prices. +20% performance at a much lower wattage rating is impressive, especially when it's priced well.
I love this "Good old days" reminiscence thread :)
Back in the mid 90s (DOS to Windows 95 transition) video cards were only capable of 2D acceleration, but this made a big difference to the responsiveness of the Windows UI. I was convinced that dedicated 3d accelerator cards were the future, but it took several years for the first true accelerator, the 3dFX Voodoo, to appear. It had to be pre-ordered, since computer stores didn't stock it normally and the people working in them couldn't understand why I would want a 3D accelerator. It had 4MB of RAM, but GTX 970 has 1,000 times as much, and you need that much if you want to run a game with lots of 2K textures (eg Skyrim modded with texture pack, or Middle Earth Shadows of Mordor).
GoG sells several games that used 3dfx Glide accelerator. There are wrappers to convert to Glide to DirectX functions, but they seem to run poorly, like for Bethesda's RedGuard.
Back in the day I had a GeForce 3 ti 200 and put a peltier on that shit to get a top 10 3D mark score haha. This was the day when they didn't have gamer cases but the ones you cut your hands up in when you were messing around in there. And if you wanted a window you had to Dremel one yourself. I remember when rounded pci cables became a thing haha
Now I don't even play games and use a Mac lol. Id probably enjoy playing street rod or stunts more. Games today require too much updating and signing up to shit and being notified with too much shit can't stand it.
Reminiscing with the OGs here. Funny seeing kids trying to compare products and talk specs and being swamped with gamer marketed crap, bet they never de-lidded a CPU though or connected jumpers by colouring them in with a pencil.
@jenkemjunkie:
Ha the AMD hack with the pencil, I did that one. I think it was the AMD Athlon XP 2100+? Can't remember.
I also did the ATi Radeon 9800 Pro to 9800 XT mod, then again not too long ago I did the AMD HD 6950 to HD 6970 mod also.
Yeah you could on that. I did mine on the xp1600 that had the most desirable stepping code. They had this particular serial/stepping and if manufactured around week 50 on it they were overclocking beasts!!! I remember it was like AGOGA hahaha man over 15 years ago now!
Did you pick out that CPU for the stepping code, or did you buy it and then realise. I love it when I strike lucky like that.
My current system i5-750 which is overclocked by 50%, I'm pretty sure this will be my last overclocking effort.
Saying that, my newish laptop I undervolt, reducing temperatures and allowing it to run faster as it doesn't cut back so frequent.
Nah I got lucky, when I was researching overclocking I found out that way, but I loved the ramshackle cooling methods I had to incorporate. Nowadays there are all these products that make it so much easier and water cooling isn't that risky with the leaks haha
Lol I had a Voodoo2 and and S3 Virge in the day. I spent my whole weekly pay packet on the Voodoo2 something like $400
Anyone know how the RX 480s will stack up against these?
Are there even any benchmarks for the 480 released yet? From a few 'leaks' I've seen, the 1070 kills it. But the 480 is meant to be in a completely different price range from the 1070.
In CFX apparently it trades punches with the 1080 but I want to see independant benchmarks for that, they have only released benchmarks from AMD for that.
edit: CFX as it's 199USD each which is about 200USD cheaper than a 1080
Unless crossfire has improved dramatically from when I was using it a few years ago, I'd much rather a single card. The performance improvement over a single card varies far too much game from game to really make it worth it from when I had it. Plus then certain games just flat out refusing to support crossfire.
nothing interesting http://videocardz.com/61005/new-amd-radeon-rx-480-3dmark-ben…
edit: oops beat to it
Not bad its on par with the gtx980 and that is still a $600 card.
This charming Indian gentleman will provide you the insight you desire:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eina_dk_HgE
RX480 slightly behind 980, definitely not a threat to 1070
http://videocardz.com/61005/new-amd-radeon-rx-480-3dmark-ben…
Can't really compare cause the RX480 are a much cheaper card.
There's no proper benchmarks yet, but the leaks put it a bit below a 980Ti (and alot below a 1070/1080). But it's also way cheaper than any of them. I'd wait for the real-world benchmarks. It's probably going to do very well.
http://www.anandtech.com/show/10389/amd-teases-radeon-rx-480…
specs looks like it's just a very efficient r9 390
RRP is US$379 , wait 1 month price will crash. This is not cheap
$379 will likely be lower end reference design coolers, $591 shippped to aus compared to $769-$780 cards pccasegear, scroptech are selling right now is a really good price.
It only appears a really good price because of how much gouging is going on at the moment due to limited supply. The non FE cards will be cheaper and faster but you have to wait a few more weeks at least.
You are half right. $379 will be the lowest end card while Reference card is the premium and likely the most expensive metal card that costs $449
So will the Aussie dollar….
I'll wait for a couple of more weeks, price should be more competitive once more stock are available.
If the Australian dollar doesn't fall even further . I only paid $450 for my 970 shortly after release so in comparison these new cards seem a bit exxy .
Yeah I know what you mean my r9 290 cost me $480.
Except performance for the 1070 is more inline with the 980ti/Titan X
Whereas the 970 was only comparative to the 780 more so
Sure but it's a 1/3 increase for the same range card which is huge . Don't get me wrong the GP104 a great improvement but the bang for buck has really been diluted due to the weak Australian dollar . It's probably a lot more exciting if your in a country that has a stronger dollar .
How will warranty work when it's not an EVGA?
Gigabyte has a warranties too?
international warranty?
Only evga has international warranty apparently.
Gigabyte only comes with 12 months warranty i think, and if you ever needed to warranty the item, you would need to send it back to the usa. Evga is the only brand worth buying from overseas if you want local warranty.
Wait, EVGA have a service center here? or do you mean the warranty lasts longer?
I had to send a DP MST hub back for warranty, and I had to send it to Taiwan. I even bought the thing here..
this is an over clocked edition even faster compare with founders edition!!
and for now only 610+ including shipping!
look at PCcasegear 769 sold out…. 150 cheaper…….
no more wait, great chance to replace my old 770~and enjoy full setting 1440P
according to my experience video cards are hardly to drop price in Australian…..
thanks great OZB KING~
and yet..no upvote
so sorry was too excited lol………..haha
they just had to put orange accents
they're RGB LED accents, just orange by default.
Ah thought it was only the fans, that's cool then
It has RGB LEDs, but it's also orange. Gigabyte doesn't know how to RGB yet. This isn't as bad as their new X99 boards though, as you won't likely see the orange.
ah damn i was thinking they might have fixed it between computex and release or something
Looks like a good deal, but IMO the custom board cards are only just starting to come out. I'd expect them to start to settle a bit lower soon, sub 400 USD.
same, always wait if on budget and not hurry.
Isnt the founders edition meant to be better for overclocking etc.
wouldnt the founders deal for $60 extra be better when you are spending at this price range? . Im not too savvy but that is what ive heard if im wrong disregard my comment
Founders is just another word for suck…I mean "early adopter"
Not that I know of… if anything it'd be the opposite as non-founders edition have more/better fan(s).
Put simply, Founders Edition = Fanboy Edition. (No hate, just the best way to explain it!).
Despite the comments below.. here's the truth:
Founders works really well in computer cases not designed with air flow to manage a hot air inside the case. This applies to larger cases without proper fans & most small form factor cases.
It's easy to recommend since you don't need to know anything about computer cooling and you know it will work very well. Also if you go SLI, it's more reliable since there's less hot air blowing onto the other GPU. Thus overheating that card.
The non-founders in cases that can support them can offer better cooling and better noise (but none to date have proven to overclock better).
I personally have a Silverstone SG09, originally had reference 970's in SLI and they did not overheat. But it's recommended for that case to have a blower-style cooler, so i picked up the founders. For the $50 difference I appreciated the piece of mind i get. Also i feel safer knowing that my OC'd CPU will not get any hotter due to the hot air in the case.
Galax will have a blower-style GTX 1070, hopefully coming in at US$379 since it's the budget model of a budget brand. MSI will also likely have one, as they have a blower-style 1080. Of course, that means you have to wait for them to release and become available, while you can more or less buy the founder's edition now.
Sure, but if the current pricing of the MSI blower is anything to go by: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GXOX35A
it will be more or less same price as founders. At least for the timebeing.
Furthermore, the nvidia blower (founders edition) model is much better. They have vapour chambers, backplate and metal design.
@GuniGuGu: Pretty sure you'll find the vapour chamber is only part of the GTX 1080 founders edition, NOT the 1070
@Rail Rider95: Yup, my mistake. I stand corrected. Still i think you could make a case the founders is a superior blower style cooler than the comp.
does anyone know when the xtreme gaming version is coming out and how mouch is USD would that be?
Google search says that the 1080 extreme gaming ships to media next week.
I hope the 1070 ships at the same time
pretty good price for a card thats faster then a 980ti..
Nevermind.
Good deal, pulled the trigger on this but I have a feeling it's not going to ship for many weeks. Hope I'm wrong.
Only a good deal in relation to the current price gauging…once stock is in supply it will be cheaper than this. i.e. $379USD or less.
That's for a reference card. G1 Gaming is a premium range. Gigabyte does lots of different models, which affect cooling and clock speed.
G1 is their most expensive line.
Understand, but graphics cards like most products sell well below RRP once stock levels are sufficient in a competitive market.
In this generation OC on AIB is very very limited, 5% gain on average. Also, reference card is the premium and more expensive one
Will it make an improvement to my Sinclair ZX81 ?
Will it even fit ?
Looks like they've blocked pre-orders for the moment, message says
"Currently unavailable.
We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock."
Thanks, expired the deal.
dollars getting massacred, projections of 50 cents on the dollar exchange rates incoming, i dont think we will see these 1070 cards in numbers anytime soon, expect to get shafted for a good few months
yeah predictions, like its the end of the world in the year 2000 :)
let me know if you can get me a card
http://wccftech.com/amd-rx-480-1500mhz-overclocking-tool-vol…
ouch for all those nVidia GTX 1070, 1080 buyers…
when will the card ship out…………
everyday was like a year………
give me the damn card and let me full setting 1440P…….
damn amazon changed condition
not shipping to overseas now……….
what should we do……
