One of the absolute best RX 5700 XT cards on the market. Yes, it's expensive compared to pre-corona, but the best deal available right now. Cheapest Australian stock looking to be $849 from Scorptec (plus shipping?)
8GB 256-Bit GDDR6
Core Clock 1840 MHz
Boost Clock 2035 MHz
2 x HDMI 2 x DisplayPort 1.4
2560 Stream Processors

Free shipping from US, sold by Newegg
Edit: Forgot to add that this is the SE (Special Edition) version
Sadly the prices of everything have gone up. I had a build ready in PcPartPicker, it was ~$1800 pre-corona. That has now gone to $2200+ in a matter of weeks
Yeah I just ended up buying a MacBook Pro weirdly. As that will tide me over until corona is done as prices haven't exploded for Apple tech.
interesting. I need to buy something by June (this FY) so maybe I should just get a macbook pro and get gaming PC next year
@ChatCPT: I figure resale value on Macs is so great in general, where as computer parts absolutely rank. So buying a PC at skyrocket prices will make my eyes bleed when I come to sell it to buy the ‘next best thing’.
@cc23: agreed cc789 might have to just get the macbook now for tax
Will keep playing PS3 till then :( curse you corona
Cmon TechFast do us a solid and repeat one of your old 2080 Super deals please
@ChatCPT: To be fair, the MacBook Pro running boot camp is just short of a GTX 1660ti, which is good enough for my gaming for now.
@coxymla: The 5300 isn't a slouch honestly. But yeah I got the 16 refurb deal posted the other day and honestly. I am surprised by how good the windows performance in general is, of course it isn't a gaming pc, or even a gaming laptop. But it is also a Mac, which is love.
Well when your prices are already astronomically high there isn't much higher to go ;)
Around how much would this have been before the prices went up?
I was thinking to get 5700xt in Sept hopefully we can get it cheaper by then
Yeah I'm gonna hold out till then too. Hopefully we see the prices fall until then
imo, you should buy it now.
Why? Will increase further?
And how does sapphire's the warranty work i'd assume it's not international also have heard new egg's warranty for international orders is crap.
Ignoring the international thing, in Australia the warranty for Sapphire's GPUs is only 2 years. I assume it's the same for international orders?
This warranty is the reason I opted for the Powercolor Red Devil which came with 3 years warranty. Kind of pointless thought, as they're all very expensive, ~$850 :(.
OOS
Looks like they are out of stock, also available on Amazon AU shopped from US I think:

The one you've posted is for the standard edition card, the SE one has RGB fans, but the one you've posted is still a very good deal .
Oh thanks! Is there any difference in performance between the two? I've been looking for this card for my first PC Build.
The SE has a higher core clock (1840mhz vs 1770mhz on standard) and a higher boost clock (2035mhz vs 2010mhz on standard). But the SE has a higher TDP (285W vs 265W on standard). Doesn't affect performance, but the SE also has RGB fans :D
But realistically, there shouldn't be much difference between the two, only a matter of 5-10 frames or so. Both are the among the best RX 5700 XT models you can buy.
@Stahh: I'm gonna watercool mine, so heat ain't a bother, but i've heard there are some thermal throttling issues with this chipset
@Omk4r123: Best to just get one of the reference model cards if watercooling. Cheaper and has one of the best PCB's (unless you want to get one with the block already installed like the Powercolor Liquid Devil)

$832.15 delivered for a Galax RTX 2070 Super from Futu. Probably not as nice a card as the Sapphire NITRO+ but it'll run better performance wise. I think the $50 premium is worth it for better performance, features (namely DLSS 2.0, RTX Audio, RTX) and drivers.
CBF posting this as a deal but for anyone reading this feel free to do so.
This is tempting, but sooo tempting to wait for another 2080 super around $900
Anyone with pcie 4.0 mobo please set your you pcie to 3.0 as these cards (5700 xt) have black screen flicking on pcie 4.0
Can get gigabyte model 5700xt (basically same performance) for $684 delivered (free shipping in NSW at least)
