What happens when your PM back orders GTX 1080 TI's during a massive shortage, try to cancel it when the ETA kept getting pushed and then they all get delivered anyway months later? An OzBargain post!

The cheapest listing for a factory overclocked model of GTX 1080 TI's with a decent cooler has been in a long while and we're throwing in your choice of sleeved PSU extensions and a copy of Tropico : Dictator Pack (Tropico 1 through 4 with expansions) when you pick up from or order in store.

For sleeved cable options checkout the Avolv range here

We are located at 1/382 Huntingdale Road, Oakleigh South 3167 and open from 10am to 6pm Monday to Friday.

Delivery to Major metro areas should be $11.10 by courier satchel and if you leave a note during checkout letting us know which sleeved cable set you would like we will throw it as well.

Bundle with any Mushkin SSD, Mushkin RAM or Intel 8700 / 8700K / 7820x and we'll lop off any extra $10 each. (In store only)

In anticipation of the comments below;

  • Yes new GTX series cards are expected mid this year.
  • Typical new launch supply constrains expected.
  • Founders edition only for the first couple of months or more.
  • (Hopefully not true, but not unlikely) new card RRP will be much higher than typical new-gen flagship launches.
  • GTX1080 TI still in short supply and Nvidia is no longer producing them making further price reductions unlikely.

All things considered, if your committed to building a high end gaming PC in the near future, we at least think this is a pretty good deal. Seems like this exact model is between $1299 and $1379 at most other retailers with stock at the moment.

      Well if there is any price fixing going on it's happening long before they hit retailers! That being said price fixing assumes collusion, but when there is only Nvidia at the top, unprecedented demand and a fiduciary responsibility to maximise shareholder profits, it's probably just a case of them charging as much as they can get away with… not that we condone that

        No ones blaming the retailers.

        The prices are fixed well before retailers get to make their own 30% margins, of course.

          That more the bean-counters department but from what little I do know about the costs of some of the products, 30% is a very very generous estimation! It's probably in the single digits on the majority of big ticket items and we do our best to make it up on volume. Im pretty sure things like CPUs and HDDs often go at cost or a little below most of the time just to get people 'in the door' so to speak.

        Fiduciary responsibility is secondary to the law - see Vw, NVidia etc.

        yes NVidia have been done before over misleading so what's a little price fixing?

        At the end of the day will I ever go back to pc gaming as much? I think not because consoles are now far more price effective. So as a long term strategy just how do you think this will turn out? pc gaming priced itself out of my groups pocket and I really don't miss it. 2 xbox one x's v 1 price fixed card - no brainer.

          Definitely wouldn't put it past Nvidia or any other company with that much money to do something shady, but I'm just not sure who they would be colluding with to fix prices? AMD?

        It's not nVidia, it's your suppliers, with a dash of blame on the board manufacturers given EoL for the GPUs. They can't be bothered stocking you when individual parties walk in and kick off a bidding war for an entire shipment.

        Find less grubby suppliers.

        That being said, don't play the victim when every IT place in the country jacked their prices in anticipation of stock becoming an issue, and made away with a bundle of cash through the first two months of this year.

        • Store Repevatech @ Evatech Australia on 30/04/2018 - 17:51

          I feel like we got off on the wrong foot here. Only suggesting that it's probably something other than price fixing by it's classic definition. Also never by any means intended to come off sounding like a victim. We're just doing our best and playing the cards we're dealt.

          I don't know about other re-sellers but we only increased our pricing when our supply costs did and only proportionally. Unfortunately being in a relatively isolated country with a smaller market than many other countries single cities, we don't have a lot of choice when it comes to official distributors.

          Assuming there is any 'less grubby' suppliers to be found elsewhere in the world I'm guessing any form of timely freight would kill the deal, warranty turn around times would be horrendous and we would probably get a blackballed by the brands we were 'grey importing'.

        • jasswolf on 30/04/2018 - 17:59

          @evatech: agree with your thoughts, but that probably signals to you that it's time to find a way to shake up the supply chain if you have the market power to be able to.

          If not your company on its own, then I'm sure you can find a number of competitors willing to make a joint effort to provide a platform for new entrants that are prepared to make stronger guarantees on supplies and price inflation.

          Out of curiosity, are there significant cost savings available to you when you consolidate your product lines for each GPU series? I see a lot of retailers trying to stock 10-20 of everything when they should segment better.

          @jasswolf: I think we're getting to a level of discussion a little above my pay grade when it comes to leading a coup against the billion dollar vendor backed distributors. It is a nice thought though.

          I assume those re-sellers that try to list and stock such a wide range of products are working on the belief that if they don't list product X or Y, that they will lose a percentage of customers who are specifically seeking out those models for a particular function or aesthetic.

    • Diji1 on 01/05/2018 - 00:32

      It isn't price fixing, it's massive demand from datacentres to power AI, HPC and cryptocurrency mining. That has been consuming all of AMDs output and a great deal of Nvidia's before you get to AIB makers.

        Reapply thermal paste. Maybe replace the fans (and they are replaceable).

        Good as new.
        Even Linus tested it with a GTX 480 (iirc) that had been used non-stop 24/7 for mining for a couple years. Compared to a Brand New, sealed, same card. They were identical in heat, energy, noise, and performance.

          A year or two ago EVGA's 'international warranty' meant shipping it to the closest service centre which in Australia meant sending it to Taiwan.

    40% performance uptick on the next gen in 3 months, with a greater than 20% decrease compared to current prices? I don't think we're sad sacks for pointing out you're encouraging people to support your bad business decisions.

    Imagine actually buying one of these, and then gasping in July as people pay $600 for an 1170 that has virtually the same performance.

    • Store Repevatech @ Evatech Australia on 30/04/2018 - 17:40
      +13

      We could have just sent them back, wasn't really a big deal but instead we offered them to customers at well below market price, probably slightly under cost written down with a few marketing budget dollars.

      We even went so far as to tell people they probably should wait till next gen if they didn't already have their heart set on building a PC sooner.

      As much as we would love to hope you are right, $600 in July for a card that matches a GTX1080 TI in performance, while not completely out of the realm of possibility depending on who you ask, is optimistic to say the least.

      At the end of the day we're a gaming PC retailer. What's good for PC gamers is good for us! It's rough for an online business when the entire community is of the consensus (and rightly so) that historically speaking it's a bad time to buy a new PC. We would much prefer historically low pricing and ample stock availability!

          @deal seeking missile: so you're suggesting they're going to buck a trend they've largely held for a decade?

          There'll be a marginal difference in some cases due to memory bandwidth, but the only place that's significant is mining. You know, that thing that is entirely ancillary to any real form of currency and forever will be due to its inherent design?

    A hacknied deal like this posted up by a store rep is the clearest sign yet that GPU demand has fallen off a cliff compared to two months ago, which means that real bonafide corker deals are inbound imminently. Hold your fire boys! Don't pull the trigger until you can see the whites of their eyes.

    • wetsandwich on 01/05/2018 - 08:53

      Harsh but true. Mining is dead, and the cards just aren't selling any more at the silly +50% overkill prices. A big 'whoops' can be heard being emitted from all retailers and distributors just like the good old days (was it the 9xx series that they all ordered far too many as well? Or earlier?)
      As ex-miner sellers get more and more desperate to flood the market with 6, 12 or more cards each, it would simply be silly to pay the current retail prices. Remember the 'real' price range of $850-950 this time last year.

    • jasswolf on 01/05/2018 - 12:59

      Thank you! I've been negged into oblivion in here for point a finger, let alone a spear.

  • wetsandwich on 01/05/2018 - 08:51
    +3

    Well, I guess it's technically cheaper than others, but no one is actually buying at the $1k+ mark now. Only miners were buying them above that price, and mining is dead. The rest of us haven't forgotten that they were $900 a year ago.

    The ex-mining ones (which enthusiasts know are fine to use) aren't selling at the $900-950 most sellers are trying for in any of the FB crypto groups I'm in, so as those sellers get more desperate I'd imagine $750 will be the norm secondhand before too much longer. So brand new isn't worth 50% more.

    Combine that with the new range, I'd say that the price points can't actually be higher without mining backing it up, so the 1180 will be $1000-1100, and 1170 $800, etc. If they try for $1500+ who is honestly going to pay that?

    • souljah on 01/05/2018 - 09:58

      Agree completely. A lot of gamers have already been waiting months for price drops due to insane prices and I am finding the waiting actually easier as time goes on rather than harder (which is what I initially expected). I for one wont bat an eyelid until I see sub $800 and even then would rather see the next gen's benchmarks and lower power consumption first and then jump on a second hand 1080ti if I don't like what I see.

      It also helps that I know as soon as I pull the trigger on a new GPU (i have a Strix 970) I will then have to upgrade my cpu (i5-6500) as that will be bottle neck which then leads to new mobo and cpu and ram… Then I will need a shiny new 144hz ultrawide to enjoy it all where as at the moment there is no point upgrading from my 1080p Benq as I won't be able to drive anything anyway. My whole system only cost a few hundred more than this card at this price a couple of years ago.

      Plus side is I am starting to work through the 400 or so steam games that I have been stock piling for years from sales and cheap bundles and never getting around to playing. By the time I upgrade my pc all the new games will be heavily discounted and I save more.

      Do not buy an 1180 in Australia at launch. Aussie retailers do so little to guarantee supply shipment that the eye-candy items like that will be overpriced and in short supply.

      That's what causes the bulk of the 'Australia tax' in this instance. The 1170 should be more reasonable, especially if you're not grabbing a 4k/120Hz monitor any time soon.

    I picked up an EVGA 1080 ti SC2 in February, delivered, for 950 total. This was before the GPU prices started to drop. This is not a great deal in comparison.
