Good price for a GTX 1080 in Australia with local warranty, plus it's custom with optional $20 extra for factory OC. Cheaper than next custom card by $100-120. Founders card is $1099 at greenboxit but that's without shipping. GLH comes with higher clock. Even though it might not be a sale price, it's still considered a bargain relative to the costs of other GTX 1080.

Edit: I have retracted the 'oc' from the $1009, because it is NOT the OC version, false advertising on MSY's part. If someone can get MSY to fix it that'll be great.

    How does this unit compare to founders ed?

    • KnifeEnthusiastBoi on 21/06/2016 - 21:51

      Isn't that a bit of an obvious question? I'd say a little bit better. Cooling performance is better

      Founders is a reference design which has a bad reputation based on past cards. For this card, Nvidia has been pushing the notion that their Founders card can compete with custom cooling cards and price them as such. I feel for the Founder's edition, you're basically get scalped by Nvidia regardless of cooling performance though.

      • PlagueistheCheap on 21/06/2016 - 22:08

        Thanks guys

        Ive been looking at getting a 144hz monitor but I run two monitors, one in borderless windowed and the other just for web browsing. I like to jump back and forward between them. Ive heard there are a few issues with gsync and windowed mode whilst freesync doesnt work at all in windowed. I think a beefy card would do the lot without having to worry about freesync/gsync.

        • FabMan on 21/06/2016 - 23:54

          Does two graphics cards work? One for gaming, other for 2D?

        • dogboy on 22/06/2016 - 08:18

          If your motherboard has onboard video, you can just run the web browsing monitor off that.

      • Diji1 on 21/06/2016 - 22:33

        Bad reputation for what?

        • exit on 21/06/2016 - 22:41

          Poor cooling/temps.

        • Diji1 on 21/06/2016 - 23:19

          @shot: OK but it just seems dumb that the company designing the hardware cannot get a simple thing like cooling done correctly and that companies not designing the hardware do a better job of a simple thing like cooling.

  • samfisher5986 on 21/06/2016 - 22:15

    Are you meant to call them?

    There are no MSY stores in QLD that list it.

  • mathemagician on 21/06/2016 - 22:20

    'Go to Deal' button should take you to the shop's product page. However, like the previous poster, I could not find it on their page either…

    EDIT: The parts list has it. Maybe the button should link to the list then.

      There isn't a product page and I don't want to list the price list since its not really helpful and partially misleading. I assume people who are willing to fork $1k+ on a graphics card will call up and contact MSY themselves first anyway. Might as well put in a pic instead.

  • rysith on 21/06/2016 - 22:39

    Does anyone know if MSY allow online ordering for items in their Parts list not on their online store?

    • Cielescha on 21/06/2016 - 23:10

      You can usually order for pickup by calling / emailing your local store, shipping probably isn't available.

  • [Deactivated] on 21/06/2016 - 23:36

    Should get a little lower. RRP is US$599. Take off Americas tax rate of around ~7% average (differs by state) and that's US$557. Add a little for postage (getting the item stocked locally) and what-not brings it to around $US$570. Converting to AUD that's 760, add a little to compensate for currency conversion fees and it's around 775. Add GST and you're looking at $850ish.

    Tl;Dr: Should retail for around AUD$850-900 after all the hype. Still, isn't bad for mid-hype.

      As far as I know, the prices quoted for MSRP is always quoted as not including tax. The price you've said will have tax added to that (depending on state as you mentioned). You can't take tax off that price as it doesn't include it.

      • [Deactivated] on 21/06/2016 - 23:44

        Oh it doesn't? I assumed it would have.. In that case closer to the $900 mark.

        • jaypick on 22/06/2016 - 00:30

          This card won't get to the 850-900 mark until 1080ti is released.

          @jaypick: B&H Photo has an evga FTW edition coming soon that will be only $912.18AUD (about 950 inc postage) http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1257992-REG/evga_08g_p…

          Cheaper versions, I imagine, would probably hit around the 850 mark. Sure you don't get a local warranty, but screw paying an extra $400 for that crap.

        • Rail Rider95 on 22/06/2016 - 11:13

          @SuperBurt:
          And if you're buying EVGA they have an international warranty that's pretty good from what I can tell
          My understanding is EVGA will let you take the product to your local support centre, rather than sending it back to where you bought it from

        • Cielescha on 23/06/2016 - 20:27

          EVGA doesn't have a support centre in Australia, so our "local" centre is either Taiwan or USA, shipping at own cost.

    Who actually pays $1000 for graphics card?

          For sure, though if you're already paying $500+ for a monitor you might as well ensure you have a card to back it.

          Beyond this it also allows for more specific things like multiple 4k monitors (some games support this), VR, etc. Some games still require users to turn settings down for a decent fps, esp. as we move towards 60hz 4k. It just ensures you can basically turn everything right up and it'll work, something not many other cards offer. Is it worth it? Not IMO as I'm happy on low-medium settings.

    • samfisher5986 on 22/06/2016 - 00:54

      Virtual Reality.

    • dogboy on 22/06/2016 - 08:20

      Enthusiasts. You pay twice the price of the latest gen console just for the video card and then the AAA games are developed for consoles with a crappy PC port that maxes at 60fps :(

      • Crassonator on 22/06/2016 - 10:16

        i dunno, its pretty nice playing the witcher 3 at over 100fps QHD=)

        • dogboy on 22/06/2016 - 11:06

          Fair enough but when it first came out on PC it was a dreadful port that maxed at about 40fps. Thankfully it appears they have addressed that so might give it another look.

    • CH on 22/06/2016 - 12:25

      I'm buying two, but the ones I want aren't out yet.

  • p3t0r on 22/06/2016 - 08:04

    nice to see lower prices, very tempting! But will wait for the 1080ti to replace my 980ti ;)

  • SuperBurt on 22/06/2016 - 10:08

    This looks like a sub par version though. Definitely better than the FE, but it's no FTW or Kingpin, that's for sure. I'd just wait a week or two.

  • CH on 22/06/2016 - 10:30

    From memory I think Gainward/Palit only give a one year warranty, every other manufacturer gives at least two.

    That said, if it doesn't fail in the first year it's probably going to be fine for the next few.

    • HeXa on 22/06/2016 - 11:10

      mwave quotes 2 year warranty on their gainward stock

  • danteshope on 22/06/2016 - 14:15

      Was never in stock at any of them. :/ ,I called HQ and asked about any stores, seem theyve put it on their parts list before actually getting them, Ive been put on a list for them to call when they do come into stock in a week or so though. :)

      • rysith on 23/06/2016 - 12:11

        Thanks for checking into this and letting us all know.

        As I don't live near any store, I'm more interested if they would ship these instead of needing to be picked up in store.

  • danteshope on 30/06/2016 - 01:17

    MSY has changed the pricing on these two, the GTX 1080 Pheonix OC and the GTX 1080 Pheonix GLH OC to $1099 and $1149 respectively. -.-
