Any deal on GTX 1080 or 1080 Ti?

Hey Bargain hunters

I'm after a GTX 1080 or 1080Ti they seem to be $1200ish in Australia, I'm willing to purchase Internationally if I can nab a 1080Ti for under 1000.

Anyone know of any deals on a 1080Ti? Or a 1080 if the price is right.

I recently got a 3440P Asus Predator X34 monitor and the GTX 1070 I have was struggling to get good frame rates at the higher resolution. I've sold the 1070 so ready to get an upgraded card. Happy to pay more if there's a good deal in Australia.

Thanks.

  Would get hit with customs on that! Wish it was local :P

Just bought this today. EVGA 1080Ti FTW3, pretty awesome considering you dont have to pay a 10% GST because its under $1000.

  Very tempting at that price, and the 2-3 day delivery at $38 would make it $1027 delivered, no customs, and likely to get it by Friday… Hmm…
  
  I'm trying to bargain with an eBay seller on a second hand one to see if he'll go for 1k, so I can use c5oz and get it for about $950 haha. If he doesn't budge I'm likely buying the one you linked. Thanks man.

  Does the total price including delivery have to be below $1000 AUD?

    My understanding is delivery doesn't count for customs, only the product cost.

    Only cost of the item, in this case the GPU. Delivery is an exception.

      No, delivery is definitely included in customs assessment..

      @wetsandwich: oh you're right. My bad

      @wetsandwich:
      
      No this is 100% incorrect.
      
      Delivery is not included when assessing whether you should pay GST on an item.

      The Customs value is the value to be used when goods are imported into Australia.
      
      The Customs value does not include freight and insurance costs
      in transporting the goods from the ‘place of export’ to Australia.

  Um… sorry to break it to you but the cost of postage is included when they assess the value for GST and customs duties. So prepare your spare $150 to give to the government:/

eBay dude agreed to drop the price of his card from $1100 to $1000 for a 1080 Ti (Asus Turbo) but it has 3 years local warranty, and with the 5% c5oz eBay code works out to about $950 delivered. I'm going with that, woohoo!!!

  Grats man.
  - kimlo on 14/07/2017 - 22:20
    
    Cheers man. Can't wait to see how the 1080 Ti powers my 3440P screen. The 1070 can do it, but I certainly have to put the settings right down to get around the 100fps mark in more demanding titles.
    - AlienC on 14/07/2017 - 22:33
      
      Nice what screen. I am in the market for a new screen.
    - kimlo on 14/07/2017 - 22:36
      
      Acer Predator X34, amazing screen, and it's really well priced compared to the only real competitor that I know of which is the Asus version for $500 more.

      @kimlo: Thats because x35 is just around the corner.

      IS too dammit! :(

Hi guys, I need a new graphic card for my new VR Rift and I am thinking of getting the GTX 1080 FTW 2 https://www.newegg.com/global/au/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N…. I don't have any experience with graphic card, so I don't know if it is a good one. And, I don't now if it is worth to spend more money to get an GTX 1080 Ti or not? Hope you guys can give me some recommendations. Thank you.

  Get the Ti it is definitely worth it compared to the 1080.. the $300+ premium will keep you safely in the best possible current conditions so you won't be kept up awake at night thinking life could be better.
  
  Get a Ti just don't SLI as the benefits are not as good compared to previous generations.

Any deal on GTX 1080 or 1080 Ti?
