Best price I have seen lately, not a bad deal if you like Gigabyte. They usually start around $660+ but I haven't seen one of those on OZB in a few months.
Sorry for any newbie mistakes.
CamelCamelCamel.
I want it if it's quieter too…
eastern europeans mining fake money! no GPUs left, AMD new cards are overpriced to target content creators not gamers!
Big if true
"not a bad deal if you like Gigabyte"
I think it's been quite a while since the brand slapped on the side of a mass produced card really made any difference.
Yes it does. EVGA for example has global warranty.
Performance-wise there is almost none
is there a shortage with these cards? they are advertised for pre-order locally from australian sellers
Yes. They're being bought up for Ethereum mining (similar to Bitcoin.)
These cards in particular aren't the tool of choice, but the overall pressure on supply has jacked prices up a lot.
Urgh, it kind of hurts that 1080ti has been only about $150 more than this recently! I'm in the market for a graphics card and considered 'byting' at this price… but can't help but wonder what next week will hold.
Where have 1080ti been up for $850? Thats quite a deal
around when I got my 1080 for 650. pre EOFY with 15 off ebay code, 1080 was 790-820 after coupon
Problem with Gigabyte is that it comes with 1 hdmi port and 3 display ports. A bit of an inconvinience if your monitor uses hdmi and you get something like the occulus rift which also needs a hdmi port.
I feel like this is fairly standard despite the manufacturer. Nothing stopping you from using an active DP-HDMI adaptor though?
This should be fine. You should only be using the HDMI for Occulus Rift - HDMI can only support 1080p at 120Hz which this card would be overkill for. For monitors it's better off using the Display Ports with 2K @ 144Hz or 4K @ 60Hz
HDMI can only support 1080p at 120Hz
You do realise the whole 10xx series has HDMI 2.0b don't you?
No I did not know this - you can play 1440p at 120Hz with that connection after all.
Only $720 here with local warranty and PRESENT code http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Gigabyte-nVidia-GeForce-GTX-1080-…
