Few cents more expensive than the sold out Harris Technology deal, but this one is an eBay Plus listing so if you're a subscriber you get express shipping and free change of mind returns.
Plenty of stock. 69 at time of posting.
$688 is the AU RRP for the FE version of this card IIRC.
$700 is a genuine deal for this cooler.
If you care about noise / thermals / OC? Yes. It is one of the top tier ones afaik.
If its going under your desk and you wont touch it again, then no.
@Ahbal: Indeed. That deal was late 2020 though and the prices are the same or more 15 months later. Not less. I would expect further drops/actual deals as we're 80% through the life of this gen.
This is just msrp. And usually nothing is ever sold for msrp near the end of it's life.ie $559 3070s $199 10400f
That was an international deal that was in stock for 5 minutes and it isn't clear whether or not any of them even shipped. Most likely, the seller cancelled the orders and relisted them.
@iseeyou1312: Then how would you explain this? https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/572620
This deal went through. $499USD is same msrp as 3070. So what you're implying isn't possible actually is. ie $559 RTX 3070 with a free ssd.
Keep mind mind we're entering Q2 2022. Those $700+ x60ti prices would've been good Q4 2020 but not now. Crypto ruined this gen
@Jimmy77: What? Why are you comparing an international seller on Amazon to an Australian retail store's Ebay deal, on a totally different card? Like, what is that even meant to prove.
FYI, Gigashyte never shipped the SSDs that came with that deal. A 3060 Ti is also ~22% stronger than a 2070 super.
If you're expecting 3070 deals for $559 plus a free SSD you're going to be waiting a very long time. The VRAM on that 2070 super at the time cost ~$60 USD (what the manufacturer pays). Nowadays, the same amount costs ~$160 (prices are falling though).
@iseeyou1312: What? The below deal wasn't an international seller. The 2070s had $499usd msrp and the deal was $559aud with free ssd. The RTX 3070 also has a $499usd msrp. So saying the model below (3060ti) for $150 more is a good deal is at this point in the gens lifetime is incorrect. The 3060ti at $700 is still rather overpriced. If it was late 2020 prices would be reasonable but they should be lower than they are now.
@Azro: It appears he is living in a different country too.
He is also blissfully unaware of US prices today, we are paying less than they are and they have almost no stock.
@Jimmy77: Sorry but I think you're insane.
Its like comparing 2020 house prices to 2022.
edit: Should also add….at the time many of us disregarding these "amazing" deals you are linking now. Hindsight is always perfect.
Who knows? Fews months from now someone could link this post.
You're missing the point that if you want to buy a GPU now, this is the best price for the arous 3060ti.
People buying now may not have been in the market in late 2020, and they certainly didn't have a crystal ball to predict how prices would trend.
Personally, I don't think it's a good time to be buying a 3060 card because I suspect prices will continue to drop, but I'm not even looking at GPUs right now..
$70 is worth it to get extra fan, and extra 1 year warranty. Aorus is top tier like Strix.
@[Deactivated]: Aorus Elite is only Aorus in name though, Aorus Master are proper Aorus cards. Even then, they still rank pretty poorly in noise/thermals compared to cards like Strix, Vulcan, etc…
@[Deactivated]: Yep, Master/Elite/Gaming/Eagle all use the same thermal pads - although they won't be "that bad" with GDDR6 compared to the much hotter GDDR6X. Elite is also using the crappy windforce fans the budget cards have, whereas Master gets dual-ball bearings.
Although all their cards are meant to be using better ones now, at least compared to the white ones they released with.
@badonde: It's "better" to the extent that the heatsink is larger (same heatpipe layout but longer fins), nicer RGB and 1 year longer warranty. Other than that they're identical, but at this price I would definitely go for the Aorus Elite.
are you always this sour bro?
I dont see anybody complaining here about it not being in 600s. Why do you feel Holders are feeling bad? lol You are the only one crying here.
Fiat hodlers have always been weaklings.
3060 ti is in par with 1070 and 2070 super on their heydays, not toe to toe now, and always priced around $600-$700 depending on tier like tuf, strix, aorus, etc. Taking into account inflation, this deal is still a deal.
How do you know how much is in stock? My eBay just says more than 10 available.
I think you try and add 999 to cart and see how many it will let you add
TIL
If you bought 999 GPUs, would you be able to play Minesweeper with it?
Or Solitaire.
@[Deactivated]: Overrated, I only play snap.
My dad works at Big W and gets me discount on latest tech, he is also very smart when it comes to making comparters work.
47 left.
Was about 68 yesterday
Not exactly flying off the shelves, I guess most people already got a gpu now
Seems a waste to buy a card now so close to the next gen being released
It's the same story going for years and years.
I'll wait for the new gen. Shit, that's expensive, I'll wait for the price of new gen to drop. Shit, newer gen is coming, I'll wait for the new gen. Rinse and repeat.
Lol nah Ill actually pay the premium for the new gen as I am reaching the end of life of my 1080 haha
I am in the same boat. We dont even know if there will be a big premium. Its all just speculation. Base MSRP will be higher for sure compared to 3xxx, but not definitely as high as what we saw in the last few months due to miners and scalpers.
@John Doh: I reckon just buy the card that you and your wallet like at the moment you ready to pay for it.
Forget these crystal ball mentality, its just wasting your time tbh.
The waiting, predicting, speculating game on next gen card price & performance for the sake of 'saving' $100-$200 is not worth it.
Best to spend those time playing minesweeper or solitaire.
@[Deactivated]: It's different with Lovelace though. Usually we'd expect to see 20-30% gains generationally, maybe 30-40% if we're lucky. Lovelace is 80%+ and RDNA3 will likely be even more. Too much competition and improvement is on the table to upgrade now if you're happy with your PC and don't want to mine crypto in the interim.
@[Deactivated]: 350-400 watts on the 4080 and 450-500 watts on the 4090 isn't great, but not that much more than Ampere and the same as the 3090 Ti.
Next gen is going to be eye wateringly overpriced, especially in Australia, after Nvidia saw how much people were willing to fork out.
There are no leaks suggesting that. Its all supply vs demand. If people dont buy becuase they are expensive or because mining is not booming, the street price will drop to a level where supply vs demand meets. Also there is a lot of competition from AMD - https://wccftech.com/rumor-amds-mcm-based-rdna3-rx-7000-gpus…
Leaks are all based internationally.
AU retail prices are always retail scalped 10 - 20% higher than the direct USD to aud conversion.
This goes for pretty much everything, not just GPUs. Lego is a great example.
see my comment above jd.
Problem with the "competition coming from AMD" comment is that AMD/Nvidia are basically colluding and price fixing while maintaining plausible deniability.
After AMD basically exited the high end market for a while, Nvidia raised the prices, then when AMD became competitive again at high-end, what did they do? They raised their prices to match Nvidia - US $579 and $649 for 6800 and XT respectively - instead of setting their prices as, say, $499 and $599
For 4000 series you prob need to get a new psu
No you dont, unless you are buying a higher end card. Also RDNA3 is going to be a lot more efficient. I am just hoping RDNA 3 comes up with better RT implementation.
It will. Next gen will probably be when Ray tracing becomes more than a very niche and unused thing
@badonde: I understand, but nvidia will come with something more solid and make me change my mind into buying the 4xxx series. I have always been alternating between nvidia and amd cards right from when first radeon came out to support both companies, this time I want to side with radeon lol.
No what is a waste is waiting, time is priceless, GPUs or hardware in general is not. People will pay what they're willing and I can tell you easy 1500 GPUs have been sold in 3 days just on eBay alone.
1500 GPUs is nothing in the big picture though, this would mean nothing to nVidia or partners, Australia is possibly one of the smallest markets as a large country when perspective on the world economy.
WCCF put out a BS article misquoting a tweet and stated that retailers are thinning out old stock which is complete and utter nonsense.
A container came in, suppliers said as wholesale to retailers, you can have these for XXX amount as we got them cheap, ASUS announce 25% cut which THEN forces retailers to do the same.
That one alone public announcement has ensured RRP has dropped, retailers I am sure would have stayed at the same $ had ASUS said nothing.
Then add the AP sale of additional 15% and you have a pretty good option, rather than waiting another 6 months for a possible release with a rumored 25% increase in price. Then add availability and if all goes well, you might see some GPUs released, but we are amidst a war atm and the whole political thing means economic stability might change things for the worse.
Petrol is at an all time high atm, who knows what will happen, but it is far from being a waste when all you have is conjecture to base a purchase off.
I highly doubt 4070 Ti let alone 4070 would sell at $700 on launch, especially on Aorus tier.
They will be around $1500. There is no way nVidia would spend billions making sure then can supply the demand only to ask very little in return. My dad works at Big W and he made my cpu quicker.
Weird flex but okay
Now is not a good time to be hoarding gpus
hodl
“I think I can, I think I can…”
anyone find psu deals to go with this and 5600x?
I second this, it runs very stable with 5x RX570.
5 of them? lol, I got 1.
Is there any way around the $600 limit as a new Afterpay user?
Giftcards
You can purchase eBay gift cards through ShopBack App and apply those to the order first to bring the amount below your Afterpay limit.
Awesome just did this and it worked! Thanks heaps
I just bought an eGift Card from Woolworths to cover the amount above the $600 limit and bought this GPU with no issues
How inconvenient
It added 5 mins to the transaction - it's really nothing to get upset over
@nurbsenvi: No, it's an eGift Card. You buy it on the Woolworth's website and it's emailed to you in a couple of minutes.
I am new to afterpay it won't let me buy anything over about $150.00 in any one transaction.
OK you need to buy some Gift cards which people have pointed out, use these to make up for the balance of the $150 and you should get your 15% off.
@[Deactivated]: So say I buy $550 worth of gift card, apply that then pay with afterpay and it will still discount the full $700 amount?
@jg1975: If they set your limit to 150 and you spend the entire amount of AP, which is why they're offering you 15% off in the 1st place, then yes they should honor it.
1 person posted they used all GC bar $2 to pay for their purchase and AP cancelled it.
Why would AP pay for your item if you're not willing to use their service properly?
Is it risky? yes, is it worth doing? well that's for you to decide.
@[Deactivated]: It says my limit is 600, but when i went to buy something worth 400, it declined it.. I have since made two purchases that were around 100, so I assume there is some limit on each transaction as well as a total.
I was happy to use afterpay service the way its meant to work, but i feel like i got suckered into being a customer with the whole spend $2000 get a $300 discount in the T&Cs on ebay.
If i knew i wasn't going to be able to do that, I probably wouldn't have bothered signing up
@jg1975: Were they transparent about the whole thing? The AP limit I don't think has anything to do with the promotion other than new customer's being limiting.
You have a limit of 600 until you pay some or all off.
What ever is owed = what is left over is your available balance.
You should have $450 left, check your AP account, but you could also be limited in transactions too.
@[Deactivated]: Yep checked the AP account, says my Est. available to spend is $513 (?)
I tried to buy something on ebay worth $233 just then and it gets declined, it does not say why. So its not very transparent.
Anyway just feel a bit like a sucker lol. Its only a few hundred bucks I was going to save. I have got a mate to buy some of the stuff on his account so not a total write off.
@jg1975: It's an automated process, new customer gets flagged and limited spending until others are paid. You will need maybe a 3 month old account with re-occurring payments for proper account usage it seems.
I have been with them for 5 years, they have served my needs well.
Hang on to the account, you never know when it will come in handy.
@jg1975: this user reported it didn't work, so be careful with gc: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/11895201/redir
Good to see stocks keep pumping in for such an incredible sale price, hope more sale in the coming Easter!
Just bought 20, thanks OP.
Asif you could afford $2,000.00
He's making fun of all the Americanized idiots who are too apathetic to feel shame. ie Caving in before prices stopped dropping and then bragging about it
I have no idea what you're talking about, it appears somehow somewhere someone has upset you because of their purchasing habits.
Just because you cannot afford what others can, doesn't mean they're Americanized idiots who are too apathetic to feel shame
My post to them was a joke, 20 GPUs @ 2K would be $100 ea just in case you missed that joke.
With all the graphics card deals going on this weekend (and hopefully more over the next few months), how do you pick a graphics card within the same 'tier'? i.e. given you want a 3060 Ti, how are you all deciding which particular model you want (and which ones should be avoided)
Number of fans, brand, warranty
Thanks Op! :)
All these out of stock and expired tags going to send the sheep into panic mode again. Will we see $8000 RTX 3060ti all thanks to those who can't hodl?
It is only expired because of the afterpay deal.
There is still plenty of stock - 3070ti can be had for 999 from BPC tech ebay right now

No more prices in the $600's it seems. Hodlers held for a few days then all caved like weaklings
