As always the community will decide if it's a good deal or not via the voting system and/or comments. In general, a deal can be good value or of interest without being discounted as such, whilst a deal can be discounted but still be of little interest or poor value.

        For goods with a value of AUD1000 or less, there are generally no duties, taxes or charges to pay at the border.
        https://www.abf.gov.au/buying-online/buying-online.
        You should be fine if you purchase the Zotac Trinity/Gigabyte Eagle variants via the pay yourself option at the checkout.
        Otherwise yeah, you will have to pay an extra 10%.

        Personally I recommend getting a mailing address via a mailing service in the states. That can heavily save on GST costs

      • Snortlepig on 12/09/2020 - 21:50

        I just checked the site. They add 10% duties and taxes - to the whole price even under $1000.

        So the above prices are 10% higher than Yve quoted.

        A 2070 Super is 529.99 USD. It's 33.01 in shipping and 56.39 in duties and taxes.

        PayPal (and pretty much everyone else) also has a conversion fee, PayPal's is 2.5%

        So the Zotac Trinity actually comes out to:
        ~1025 + 42 + 107 = 1173

        • Revrnd on 13/09/2020 - 13:07

          Yep. so essentially with FTA (Free Trade Agreement) we shouldn't be paying import duty, but we still pay GST on item + shipping.

          Found that out when I imported my 3D printer.. and fought for clarification on import prices on my CNC (FedEx charged the company $2000 USD shipping.. not $399 as I'd paid) as GST came out 2x projected cost.

      None of those cards have warranty… They are international cards.

      • Yve on 12/09/2020 - 20:38

        Check the AIB partners, Gigabyte and Asus offer global warranty on their cards.
        Zotac however does not have global warranty.

        • [Deactivated] on 12/09/2020 - 23:02

          So consumer affairs will agree to assist with Asus international refunds, wow.

        EVGA has international warranty - my last 1070 was an EVGA BHP Photo OzB deal. It had a problem with fan whine, and I had it RMA'd direct with their Taiwan HQ.

    That is so infuriating.

    https://www.kotaku.com.au/2020/09/rtx-3080-rtx-3090-founders…

    Because of that I'm definitely waiting for amd's announcement, Nvidia lost some respect (no idea why mwave) but segmenting their customer base with the temporary finger really doesn't fit well with me.

    I was so ready and pumped to preorder the 3090, but now since Xbox Series X and Amd just around the corner, it could be a interesting year.

    I would love to know apart from (limited stock, issues stocking it, limited numbers,) why Nvidia shafted their customers to begin with.

    It's really distasteful to send one message and then give the finger, and retract the finger silently.

    To give Nvidia the temporary finger I'll hold out for the AIB edition over the Fe edition for now, the question is how much will there be of a difference in AIB prices compared to 2020 Fe.

    • [Deactivated] on 13/09/2020 - 09:15

      I would be interested to know why you would bother with the Xbox Series X if you are getting a 3090? Literally everything you can play on that particular console you can also get on PC day one.

      • [Deactivated] on 14/09/2020 - 00:58

        Was interested,

        The 3090 for 3d animation, and rtx enabled features, and write cuda code, write up some machine learning stuff on those tensor cores.

        Then sell it once it's served its purpose.

        Oh in regards to the series X, well because EB games have offered a great deal for those who trade Xbox one X in.

        Series X $399 can't say no to that offer.

      But RRP is okay according to all the negs in the RTX 2000 series deals.

  • o2saint on 12/09/2020 - 20:26

    I’m curious why people with 2080 S and Ti are selling off their cards and so hyped about launch day availability. As big as the leap in the performance is, surely it doesn’t mean 2080 S and Ti stopped performing.

    I have 5700 XT and looking forward to the 3070 benchmarks and hopefully some deals. Just like 10th gen CPUs, once the FOMO is over, we will see prices return to normal.

        Still, as I said, $1000+ for a video card??

        • ln28909 on 12/09/2020 - 21:28

          that's a fair price I think, not too expensive and not too cheap

          • AussieZed on 12/09/2020 - 21:29

            @ln28909: It's astronomical.

            • ln28909 on 12/09/2020 - 21:31

              @AussieZed: a typical build that run this card would be starting from ~$1.5k for all the other parts, so $1k is justified

              think this, I just bought some psu cable extensions (yeah not the psu, just cables) for $150, now that's expensive

              so comparatively, this is really cheap if you were to compare it with those cables

              • Revrnd on 13/09/2020 - 13:12

                @ln28909: I'm looking at this card and just my CPU + Mobo alone come in at $1500.. so why would $1000 be astronomical for a GPU?

                It's not like an $800 console on launch. at least the PC can be used for a myriad of other duties.

                • ln28909 on 13/09/2020 - 14:42

                  @Revrnd: Yeah I agree this is a fair price , definitely not astronomical

            • fatal on 12/09/2020 - 22:45

              @AussieZed: Yeah but gaming with high frames on a high resolution monitor is not required for everyone. If you don't have those requirements, then you can pick up any lesser card within your price range.

    • netsurfer on 12/09/2020 - 22:51

      People are negging it because this is basically RRP. Are we now allowing RRPs to be posted for hyped up products? What's next? Every AIB cards for RTX3070/3080/3090s at RRPs can be posted as bargains?

      And the thought of majority of people neg voting this fear losing out on this? Please… don't get so hyped up and get sucked in by all the marketing pitch and the huge % increase over last gen.

      Honestly, if I really want it, I will ask a relative in the USA to buy it from a state without state tax and DHL/Fedex the card to me. It will be cheaper than this. Heck, if for some reason, this shinny new toy is a must, maybe just buy from USA and use a forwarder.

      I reckon nVidia should try to sell as many cards as possible quickly. This will give both AMD and the two consoles a tougher time. RDNA2 will be quite competitive and if performance is slightly behind, AMD will price their cards down.

            @michaelTito: Chinese tiktok aka Douyin, is completely different. The userbase age range spans from young teens to elderly people. Most of the successful tiktokkers have a whole film crew to create and edit videos. It's more competitive and harder to create compelling videos to gain popularity. These influencers can be anywhere from 18 to 40+. The short videos you see on there range from talents showcase to product reviews, to cooking to workout routines. It's really different compared to international tiktok.. almost impossible for douyin algorithms to recommend 13yo lip syncing

      Plus GST?

      I expect USA pricing to be cheaper but it is a good ballpark
