Mod 13/9 (copy paste of the report reply): For those reporting that RRP should be in the forum or similar, there is no such guideline. 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. In any case it's up to members to decide. In relation to potential issues about the deal details, should the deal not go ahead as posted, or another issue that breaches guidelines, it will be removed at that time. Please use TWAM for other issues and keep comments respectful. Thanks

Mod 2 15/9: Mwave has now announced there will be a raffle to purchase (that's a new one). The main deal link has been updated and the deal post moved to forums. Please join the raffle should you be interested in purchasing and continue discussion in the comments below.

          Yes, you're wrong. If you're referring to RTX IO, this will reduce decompression loads on the CPU and improve load times on games that actually implement it (likely a year or two away), but you can't "bypass the CPU entirely" lol.

          • R.R.P on 13/09/2020 - 10:52

            @elli0t: Ah right. "entirely" was the wrong word to use, I guess what I meant was it'll become less of a bottleneck?

            • elli0t on 13/09/2020 - 17:09

              @R.R.P: I don't believe RTX IO will benefit in terms of framerate performance (CPU bound scenario), only load times. It may take some load off the CPU, but it's hard to say at this stage how much that impacts framerate (especially at higher fps)

      You'd be far better off buying a 3080 and selling in 2 years for the 4080…. upgrade cost will be minimal and the performance will beat the 3090 and you'll be WELL infront $ wise too.

      And rinse repeat in 4 years with the 5080.

    Not a bargain at all. Rrp

    Edit - are there really 400 or so ozbargainers out there who are considering buying this?

    And if so, are they just planning to sell it on for a profit?

    • yeb123 on 13/09/2020 - 13:49

      Nope, they just don't want to miss this 'deal'. Otherwise other cards would be more expensive than this with the same chips.

      Form this side, I totally understand that some think it is a bargain.

    Poster getting a bit butt hurt, yes you aren't the first in recent times to post something like this… It still doesn't fit the site… It's called Ozbargain, yet lots of people are just trying to use it as "now in stock" or news posting… Use forums… If people are interested in finding out this stuff the news is all over the internet.

    Make ozbargain about bargains again!

      The OP isn't butt hurt. Rather pointing out how dumb some of these neggers are saying how RRP isn't a bargain. Clearly it is based on the evidence.

  • Nyclix on 13/09/2020 - 09:29

    Do I buy this or just wait a few months for the best aftermarket card…. Hmmm…

      Yes worth it if you're into AI/ML. It's actually the cheapest and most powerful solution available.

      RTX 3090 is not a gaming card, it's a TITAN for other uses that require CUDA cores.

  • Alturo on 13/09/2020 - 10:08

    First post. From what I have seen so far, the FE cards will be the cheapest on the market for the first few months. AIB's will release cards well above RRP. This is Nvidia's push to release a card that is seen as value for money however the real cost will be born by the AIB's who will have to release cards far above the RRP. Get them while they are hot and good luck getting a 3080 at RRP for the next 6 months once the FE cards are bought up.

  • [Deactivated] on 13/09/2020 - 10:08

    RRP isn't a bargain.

    This isn't a product that has even been released.

    Did I mis-click? Am I just on plain ol' OzAdvertising now?

    For some reason I've had negative post removed by a moderator… because it said "yeah nah this isn't a deal" …which I feel isn't dissimilar to most of the posts here, so NFI what was up with that.Hopefully this post better explains the neg vote.

    • Moderatorhamza23 on 13/09/2020 - 14:45

      The voting guidelines were sent to you, but here they are again in case you missed them:

      Inappropriate uses of negative vote

      Any negative vote that falls into any of these reasons will be revoked by a moderator. Negative votes for any other reason will not be removed by a moderator. These are verbatim phrases.

      No explanation of the vote:
      “No deal/Not a deal”

      If you wish to neg vote with the reason its RRP, that's fine next time, just ensure you write your reason, instead of 'no deal' or similar.

      Thanks

          • Clear on 13/09/2020 - 10:18

            @scuderiarmani: How is the OP salty? All he's done is pointed out the double standards (as you've mentioned) regarding RRP.

            • scuderiarmani on 13/09/2020 - 10:20

              @Clear: Two wrongs don't make a right. It's salty and childish.

              It's no different to posting Netflix additions because games pass additions are fine and using that as a justification.

              They weren't allowed. Nor should this.

              • Clear on 13/09/2020 - 10:22

                @scuderiarmani: So pointing out that other RRP deals have been posted is salty and childish? That makes you and I salty and childish as well as we've both done exactly that.

                It sounds like a forum post is in order. The mods do take feedback and that's how most of the guidelines have been created.

                    @scuderiarmani: FYI my edit wasn't salty. Seeing this post generated so much RRP remove it hate, I was just pointing out apparently these posts are fine from previous examples.
                    As you've stated below "I see switch deals a little differently" you're clearly showing a RRP deal is in the eyes of the beholder. The exact double standard I'm pointing out.
                    Either way 430 up votes, 81 negs, and 2 badges later, love it or hate it but I'm not taking it personally. As long as it helps 1 person securing one, I'm glad I could help. Isn't that what this whole community should be about?

                        Any who instead of flooding this post with the same repetitive stuff, how about we make it easier for other members to actually discuss the card and their setups? Nah, let's just ruin it for everyone that's genuinely interested!

                    But it does help some people for those kinds of post.

      • cille745 on 13/09/2020 - 12:26

        No, because the series x will have more availability and more importantly will always be $750. This on the other hand will be the cheapest card for the next 6 months

        • Osiris on 13/09/2020 - 12:41

            @Osiris: I think you misunderstand, what I meant was that $750 is the price ceiling for the Series X. It will never be above that, therefore at that price it isn't a deal. This on the other hand will be the cheapest card for the next few months, with all the the AIB's charging more, for worse coolers

              @cille745: Previously, gigabyte and others charged more for better coolers. This time around, unless they come up with some other marketing spin, we might see a change.

              This cooler actually cost NVIDIA quite a bit to make over the standard blowers and pipes they used before. Without it, other companies might pass savings onto the rest of us. But having said that, I think at launch these will sell like hotcakes and stock will be short for many months to come…

              Let's see what AMD comes up with in OCT

              • cille745 on 13/09/2020 - 14:24

      You probably wont be able to buy for a loong time then. Most 3rd party cards would have jacked up the prices for sure considering how big a cooling this needs and the demand it has.

      • neomoz on 14/09/2020 - 15:38

        Nvidia need to sell cards to pay for that 40bn ARM purchase, they'll be flooding the market with the 30 series, especially since Samsung has a lot of fab capacity to spare.

        First batch is always limited, but nvidia said themselves that supply will be far better than Turing launch.

        • Clear on 13/09/2020 - 11:28

          They're joining the neg train. With most deals it only takes a few for everyone else to follow. The best part is that a lot of them even negged the 2000 series clearance deals because the 3000 series is just around the corner.

          • froddoog on 13/09/2020 - 11:32

            @Clear: Sigh… There we go again with the double standards.

            This kinda post or deal posted here does help some people to be aware that this product exists (like me, I'm almost never going to google and type "is FE available in Australia?)

            So this post actually does help me and some people to know and aware that certain product is available.

      The cooler master vertical mount gives good space between glass and card. But some others push it up against glass

    Usually I'd be in the "RRP = no deal" camp, but some reports from leakers like Moore's Law Of Dead indicate these founders editions may be loss leaders with limited stock while AIB models are more expensive. Like a 3D chess move by NVIDIA to 'game' the price to performance metrics.
    I take it all with a grain of salt, but at the very least resale is likely to good, so if people want to take the plunge I say go for it.

      Because its not a 'deal" - 99% that want it wont be able to secure it for this price, its like some 'Supreme' level BS, where the only way to actually get the product is resellers for massive price inflations.

        I agree with most of what you said, but the fact is, those few who do manage to grab one of these FE card, will be getting a deal as it will be for cheapest rtx 30 series cards available for likely a long time.

    I disagree with all the negs. If you can secure one at that price, great as it will be cheaper then any other 3080s from AIB partners. If you don't think its a good deal, or price you don't upvote.

      Im trully hoping the NVidia FE cards blow the AIB partner cards out the water for temp managment.

      This will then force AIBs to compete directly against Nvidia's offerrings … they're now competing properly against AIBs for retail market share.

        Every single generation, the FE cards cooling has been absolutely crap.

        And every generation they hype it up.

        I'm betting it'll be just as bad this generation.

        • TheLurker on 13/09/2020 - 13:16

          That's been true, but that 3080 cooler design really makes sense particularly in my top venting case. I guess we get to find out on the 16th when reviewers pass the embargo

          • KenDiaMoi on 13/09/2020 - 15:27

            @TheLurker: The card might run cooler but I'm betting it'll roast the (profanity) out of your CPU if you're using air cooler. It ejects heat directly onto it lmao

            • TheLurker on 13/09/2020 - 18:59

              @KenDiaMoi: I'm keen to see test results of that on Wednesday when released, but it could suit my new build layout really well. I could even split the case to make a 'chimney'. Any other gpu has nothing but 2 slot width as an exhaust. We'd never constrain a cpu like that, and this thing runs at 320w. New design just seems logical to me. Edit: it's an itx mb so the 3080 card back exhaust is firing into open space, just.

    It's interesting seeing how many people are complaining it's not a deal because it's RRP when you can clearly see from the upvotes that a lot of people (including myself) sees this as a deal.

    From my personal POV, reading this post helped me because I now know this is actually happening first and foremost when they originally said it wont.

    With the amount of people that wants this card, I dont believe there's anyone who is under the illusion that this card would be easy to get. Knowing where, when and how is an advantage and a good deal.

      Some actually care about posts being bargains, others are just AMD fanboys.

      some people just upvote anything, then you have members like clear and the gang running around trying to turn it into some ideological debate that we need to upvote this otherwise you're salty. All you guys have done is set a precedent where the bias of the mods is going to be increasingly exposed in the future as they have to deal with a slew of rrp posts that aren't benefiting them like this one or you have more product announcements clogging up the site.

      I can go anywhere to find the rrp of stuff the value of this site is bargains so congrats on the effort really improving things here.

        then you have members like clear and the gang running around trying to turn it into some ideological debate that we need to upvote this otherwise you're salty.

        Except I didn't upvote the deal so that's not right. If that's what you call exposing the double standards of people's voting patterns - RRP is okay sometimes but not always right?

        I'm sure it'll be a discussion for the mods tomorrow when they're all back at work considering the number of unresolved reports. These kind of things are almost never looked at on weekends.

      • sym26 on 14/09/2020 - 09:54

        I don't understand the pressure of upvoting otherwise you're salty… At the end of the day, no one sees nor cares if you vote or not.

        Value is on the eye of the beholder. Which is why the voting system is there. Not many people understand the value of knowing when where or how to get this card because missing out on this card and having to wait months before the second supply of the cards come about and that's fine.

        Those that who does are upvoting it including myself.

        • Osiris on 14/09/2020 - 16:52

          ..yeah we get why you are upvoting it but disagree with that being what is of value on this site.

    • r3volt on 13/09/2020 - 15:41

      Alot of people, including myself are banned from voting on deals.

    Its Sunday so I would have thought todays neggers would have been in church or protesting at their local mall about the price of tofu, not on here bitching about a graphic card.

      Whatever dude.

      Everyone's in their right to hold whatever opinion they have. To me, it seems all the "bitching" is coming from you insulting other people for not following the majority. Let people have their discussion.

  • Cineaste on 13/09/2020 - 13:25

    I consider this a deal because the card wasn't meant to be sold at all in Australia. For mwave to secure a deal with Nvidia after finding out about the backlash is huge. No other card would fit my case.
