Translation. F&$&in HOLD! Hold apes, we need to hold
Piggybacking here to mention there's not a single comment about recent 3060 Ti deals.
It's an 8-12% performance drop compared to this, and it's regularly going for 25-30% less…
RTX 3070 and 3070 Ti are the mid-range vanity purchase in the current lineup.
Vanity purchase seems like a weird description, as unless you use it for work, aren't all graphics cards purchase a vanity purchase of sorts?
Vanity = epeeen
@foursaken: I think FabMan means vanity = high resolution, high FPS and high graphics setting. Not the design of the card looking flashy and full of RGB.
3060TI can't lock >=240fps in the games I play, 3070.
I have a 240hz monitor.
HODOR!
!!!!! D O L H
Apes Strong Togetherrrr!!!!!!!!!!!
Pretty sure it's not gddr6x
How much was the launch price?
PLE used to sling the EVGA 3070 for $999, everyone else was doing 1100-1200
Thanks.
I just looked up the founders edition RRP. USD499, so about AUD750 with GST added.
I hope one day cards get back to sensible pricing.
FE pricing is completely irrelevant in Aus. Only AIB pricing matters.
RRP in Australia was 809
Not that there were many if any of them available at launch anyway
RRP was $809. So about 40% extra on price.
Pretty good for a 3070, the 3060ti is still better value but this card is a killer for 1440p
@freefall101: at what price does the 3060 ti become "better value"? because you cant get one of those for less than $1050 currently.
@BigKahunaBurger: https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/graphics-cards/nvidia/91… - if you can wait 2 weeks.
As local retailers also need to make something and none were available at this price, seems like a false yard stick.
I get where you are coming from, but I don't think you will see this product St that price ever (even when the 4xxx come out).
PLE used to sling the EVGA 3070 for $999
Even lower for the first 3-4 months from launch.
$919 - 3070 XC3 Black
$919 - 3070 XC3
$949 - 3070 XC3 Ultra
eVGA GeForce RTX 3070 XC3 Black - AUD$899
eVGA GeForce RTX 3070 XC3 - AUD$949
eVGA GeForce RTX 3070 XC3 Ultra - AUD$999
Since launch AIB's have come out and said they will be charging more then MSRP due to tariffs in USA (yes this will carry over to those outside the USA) shortages and so on. Quick google will find stories about it -

@Auspcbuilda: I think you copied the wrong prices from that link.
I'm seeing:
$899 - 3070 XC3 Black
not listed - 3070 XC3
$949 - 3070 XC3 Ultra
@Auspcbuilda: eVGA GeForce RTX 3070 XC3 Black - AUD$899
eVGA GeForce RTX 3070 XC3 Ultra - AUD$949
eVGA GeForce RTX 3070 FTW3 UItra Gaming - AUD$1029
@Auspcbuilda: How much would a 3080ti have been at launch if all this crazy stuff didn’t happen ?
I’m thinking $1,700 - $2,200.
Would that have been close ?
@Auspcbuilda: All graphics cards that come to Australia have to go through the USA first and incur a 25% tariff now? That seems like madness, why don't they just send them another way??
It was possible to get 3070 with two fans under $900 in December/January.
Won’t be long until Nvidia’s profits start dropping and they quickly rethink LHR.
I think it's distributors that were jacking up prices, not nvidia. Nvidia also makes cruise ships of cash. If that drops to tug boats of cash….no matter how you look at it, it's still boatloads of cash!
Unfortunately, that's not how shareholders think 😋
I would imagine most people on the board of a large tech company would be looking at their company's net revenue, rather than what individual SKUs are selling for at online retailers.
Nvidia's profits shouldn't be changing much at all, since they weren't the ones price jacking.
According to AMD RAM costs twice what it did a year ago, logistics is way more expensive than a year ago, so it's not just price jacking.
Still sucks though.
You can’t please one side without upsetting the other. Gamers may not have as much purchasing power as miners, but they have existed for as long as GPUs has been around. Nvidia had to do something since their first attempt to LHR was half baked. They threw a bone towards gamers but I don’t expect more from them anytime sooner
If Nvidia releases non LHR 'mining' cards at scalper pricing, they will make even more money than before, selling to both gamers and miners
they have mining specific SKUS for it now. No need for them to cross contaminate
not received it yet for $1199, and discounted now, not feel good, can get price difference back?
Man that is not good. The audacity of these sellers!
Plenty of warnings not to buy though… but you still did.
This cards will clearly cost 800+ AUD very soon. Why do you think everyone says HOLD? Retailer screws us with +50% price over RRP because someone is buying video cards for such ridiculous prices.
I believe the retailers know the price of GPU cards are going to drop significantly, so rather than waiting for stock to arrive and then advertise at lower prices later, they try to sell them now at higher prices, locking the orders in with those impatient customers while the stock is still a few weeks away from arrival.
HODL
I want it but I don't need it just yet.
$999 or no dice, OP
Not an impressive price considering its LHR. I'll probably pay $900 for this.
Does it make any difference for gaming? Not everyone mines crypto lol
Resale value
resale is pretty irellevant for those of us who keep a GPU for 5+ years anyway. Worth it for those who always want the latest tho
@Anthropomorphised: Agree. Not everyone is a miner and planning to sell them a few years later. I usually hand my old build down to my father to use (for basic office apps and web browsing).
Have the the 3070ti of this card, great card ! fans are a bit loud over 50% but nothing headphones don't fix.
where does this model fit in the lineup? looks pretty beefy but seems like a cheaper one.
for example there was that MSI Gaming X Trio a while back for 1200 that seemed like a higher end model(also non-LHR for what matters)
but again the proper price for these should be the around 1000 range depending on the model.
Worth to spend another $300 for Non LHR version, then you can make the profit back
Only until eth goes pos, and assuming you pas cgt on any sales of crypto, will take a while to break even.
1144 plus 24 (delivery) plus $61(zip pay) =1229 (no thank you)
you dont have to use zip pay fyi
Been holding for so long that I might swell hold on until RTX 4000 series cards
Obligatory reminder: The uncrippled EVGA 3080 XC3 Black 10GB GDDR6X was $1139.
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/566682
You know what to do.
Damn
I've been away so long I've forgotten what home was like
A reminder that some of these people who preordered from PLE had to wait up to 6 months for their cards. In particular the very cheap EVGA ones.
They got 3080's for $1139 though.
Yeah, but give me the choice of waiting 6 months max. vs paying $1000 more - I'd wait any day
I agree, and I think everyone who wanted 3080 cards in Australia waited to some extent… but some waited and paid $1200, some $2000+
A 3080 made like $2000 in 6 months, so waiting is a bad choice
@KLoNe: when i have 100 3080, that's you working 600 hours, assuming 8 hours/day, that is 75 days
all while doing nothing
Still waiting on a FTW3 3080…
Thanks buffalo bill.
Hmmm i just had a thought my gtx1080 is going for about $500 now, how much will it go for when these are RRP is the question?
A friend of mine got 550 for his old 1070 on eBay today.
Wowza time to out mine up haha
Would buy it if it was non LHR
Nice lookin' card
another month or two, wait for xmas season
That’s what we all said last Xmas … hahaha
Honestly it is a punt. The crypto market can take off and in Dec, this price will let you view a card for 1 hr.
admittedly this is a good buy at the price, considering the last 12 months
the only thing holding me back is that say in another few months if 3800's get down to like 1400-1500 - i would much rather getting one of those
still slogging away on my rx480, but gotta pull the trigger soon. just upgraded my monitor to 1440, so i def need the performance boost soon
I regret selling my non-LHR MSI gaming trip for $1400.
It's ok my friend. I sold my Asus TUF OC 3080 for $2200 after paying $1500 off a scalper 6mths prior and mining with it in my down time. I'm holding out for the 6600 XT on the 11th - hopefully a good cheap solution to high fps e-sports gaming.
Patience is a virtue and good things always come to those that wait.
So in another word - HOLD?
DHOLLL
Still about $400 over priced
Strong Apes Hodor
This is less about the item price dropping but more about Techfast not being able to get rid of ugly arse graphics cards.
Ain't that the truth.
RRP or RIP
HOLD
resell value is so bad though
Not if Bitcoin hits $500,000 by that time!
Man there's a lot of herd mentality going on here.
Ethereum prices are on the rise again and GPU price drops have stalled worldwide expecting another 3 months at least until stocks are back up.
Honestly, at this rate the prices won't come down until the new AMD cards come out.
If you want a card now, don't wait, this is the best price you'll get currently for a decent 3070. Everywhere else is 1400 MINIMUM.
6600 xt coming out on the 11th should be a good value proposition.
I went for the 3060 Ti at $850, I think bang for bucks it makes slightly more sense, at least for my 1440p use case.
Agree with @JarryS88. People, just do what you want to do.
Hey what one did you get? It was between an Inno3D and Asus Dual Mini right? How are they? Can't find reviews on the Dual Mini, nobody is covering it. But it is the more interesting card because of the smaller board and cooling, wondering how it stacks up.
I went for ASUS as they seem to be using quality components (VRM etc) this gen. It was a pre-order, they "should" be in on the 18th but we will see. Hopefully the fact that they are LHR means the estimates are reasonably accurate.
Great price and great card! I have a Palit which is almost the same thing. Highly recommend!
Such a good deal but my monitor does FreeSync through HDMI :(
Pulled the plug on the 3080 non lhr (gainwind). Couldn't hold after more than a year (time is a blur for me). The downside is it is LOUD. Upside, mining to offset the cost of the card from MSRP.
What are your settings and hashrate? I've heard it can easily push past 100MH/s though with loud fans.
I am not trying to mine with the card and ruin it in the long run. I use my PC and mine at the same time. So it is a pseudo room heater. Core limit 975 mem 9501. Getting around 80
Pretty good, going back to early this year's price point, before crypto's large spike.
