    Very tempting…

    • RX 6800 or GTX 3080 ?

      • +6

        GTX 3080. The 6800 is a step down, you'd want the 6800 XT for the equivalent AMD GPU.

        • +2

          GTX3080 ???

          • +4

            @kaikor: Good point. Better choice is the GPU that exists. 6800 it is.

          • @kaikor: BRO CALM DOWN

          • @kaikor: RTX3080 from the alternate universe where raytracing never became the latest gimmick.

      • +5

        The 12GB variant is actually pretty close to the 3080 Ti in performance, so definately the 3080 unless you get the 6800 much much cheaper

      • 6800 xt, 6800 is meh

      • The 3080. To everyone else, I don't think he was asking for suggestions, I think he was asking which one I found tempting… Which in hindsight, I should've specified, seeing how many cards were mentioned.

  • +14

    Another drop. Pretty sure 10g RTX 3080 will be under $1000 AUD soon….

  • +4

    Damn BPC OP going at all hours of the morning to bring us the deelz.

  • Geez, I feel like an idiot buying a 3070 for $150 more a few months ago. Can't win them all.

    • +8

      Ouch. I wonder what people were feeling when they bought an RTX 3080 12GB for like $2000+ recently. You're literally paying like $800 for 2GB of GDDR RAM lol

        • Really? I've still got 3.5yrs left on my warranty. DIdn't know they sold cards with such short warranties.

          • @BargainKen: Mining does void warranty on various graphics cards. Not sure how the manufacturer can tell though…

      • yep 1 of my friends roughly 6 weeks ago. hes gutted

    • +10

      Don't stress mate, still an excellent card. You couldn't predict this.

        • +1

          Told you so ;p

        • +2

          You sound super salty about these deals in every single post .were you one of those people paying $2k for a card 🤣

          • @solidussnake: No, I was the one who posted the deal.

          • @solidussnake: Anyone who paid 2k at a reasonable time made it back and more.

        • All the people downvoting you, they need to know: camel case means sarcasm.

          • @dealhunt3r: its a dark humour, some understands it.

          • +1

            @dealhunt3r: thatIsNotCamelCase, it's aLtErNaTiNg cApS

            Also, it is indeed pretty obvious that it's sarcasm, but it still comes off as really salty.

            • +1

              @eepykate: Damn, I knew it sounded off but I didn't really know how else to put it.

      • Amazing irony

      • +4

        Ah yes, you could.
        Q2 Eth mining is over, Intel releasing cards.

        • +4

          I doubt "The Merge" will ship on-time, personally.

          • @Zorlin: Me too, with 40xx supposedly mining proof, 30xx series will surge in price.

    • Same here, but I’ve spent 150 hours on Elden Ring with the card so I don’t regret.

      • Another way to look at is you spent $150 + $70-$90 for this Elden Ring, that's one expensive game.
        Just teasing you anyway, enjoy the game ;p

  • +6

    Give us the 12GB Asus Strix at this price and I'm done waiting

    • what differences are there between brands?

      • +6

        asus strix is high end, comes with RGB and better cooling. Affects resell value as well.

        • +3

          is there comparisons out there between same gpu's and different brands? I know The Asus is good and Gigabyte not so much…what others are worth looking out for?

          • +4
          • @Lionheart: The Giga Master and Aorus are both great. It's there lead in with the Eagle that I wouldn't bother with

          • +3

            @Lionheart: I've found EVGA to be better than Gigabyte not just quality-wise but with customer support too.Trying to hang on for a drop in EVGA 3080's 12gb below $2k - was tempted by the recent deal on Giga 10gb Visions but I want the good support in case there is an issue during warranty. Just my 2 cents.

            • +1

              @Sonnyjimbo: The EVGA RTX 3080 12GB has already dropped to $1599 — not even sure if this is the best price, there might be better deals out there:

                @deadpoet: Cheers mate yeh I should have mentioned I'm looking at (Ti ) - currently still enjoying my 2060 super 8gb that's been great for 1440p. It struggles with FPS on Ultra in some of the beefier games which is why I'I'm looking now that prices are falling.

                • @Sonnyjimbo: It's really silly to upgrade to Ampere's high end a few months before Lovelace is released and doubles performance.

                  • +2

                    @iseeyou1312: Double performance or doubles price for 20-30% increase in performance? :P

                    Dont get me wrong, I am waiting for the new cards and excited to see how they perform in VR.

                    • @grrrr: I see you're a connoisseur of the VR kind. I too am eager to launch my 970 into the sun and enjoy the delight of current Gen graphics in VR.

        • +1

          RGB should make it cheaper!

      • +1

        Its a bit like when comparing car brands, Toyota vs BMW vs Hyundai vs VW vs Audi etc etc. They all do the same thing, gets you from A to B, but some just does it a bit better

        • +1

          It's nothing like car brands wtf

          • +2

            @scottySK: @scottySK: I was just trying to explain to the question that, with anything you buy, there are different versions of the same thing. Some are cheaper than others, made using different quality parts, some have better features. Literally everything you can buy is like that.

          • +1

            @scottySK: Is so wtf

        • +9

          No idea why my comments are being negg'd. What have I said wrong? Its beyond me

          • +17

            @[Deactivated]: Because the difference in performance between these cards is what, 5-10% max between highest and lowest? And you've given car brands, rather than specific models. So people might assume you're saying there's no difference between a Hyundai Getz and a BMW 1 series (they're both small cars after all).

            Yes, there is differences between high and low end GPU models, but the performance difference is actually fairly minimal with the exception of some outliers. The premium models are premium because they feature things like quieter fans, better cooling, RGB, power limits, etc. They may have impacts on your system on the whole as better cooling may mean your CPU throttles less for example (12900k Intel 12th series says hi), but overall the actual performance difference is quite minimal and you pay for the quality extras (or marketing for some cards).

            • +4

              @Yekul: Thank you for your honest feedback. Appreciate it. I will learn from it

            • +5

              @Yekul:

              Yes, there is differences between high and low end GPU models, but the performance difference is actually fairly minimal with the exception of some outliers

              The funny thing is that this is exactly what the car analogy was saying - there is basically very little differences between different brands of cars in a particular class, with the exception of some outliers.

            • @Yekul: The differences are minimal because anything beyond stock performance provides diminishing returns. The power levels essentially need to be cranked right up into the 400-450w range to get the few extra percentage points which the higher end models seem to provide with better quality components. IMO the gains arent justified by the additional cost, typically with these higher end cards you pay 30-40% more for maybe 5-10% gain. With the 3090 at least you get the extra RAM to use for work purposes.

            Half the people in here are infants. They can't handle real life so have to react with negs every time reality triggers their fragile little egos. Just watch what happens to this post :)

            • +2

              @1st-Amendment: What are you talking about?
              The comparison was simply not valid and should be corrected.
              It would be like if one company designed the engine and car manufacturers would each design the chassis using the same engine but that’s not how the car industry works.

        • +2

          Those car brands don't have an identical engine with different engine management systems and cooling. So I'm afraid it's nothing like that at all.

          • +1

            @jsefrog: Well it kinda is TBH. It just comes down to what relatable examples you can use to understand or interpret something.
            Comparing 2 small cars with similar power, one a kia and the other lexus. Similar power (speed/performance), different level of quality/inclusions (basic vs better cooler on gpu).

            But with a passive aggressive name "okboomer", I get why you all are giving him a hard time lol

            • @NixMo1: Lol i did bring this on myself. You are right. Queue name change as well

            • +2

              @NixMo1: Might be a bit more like Subaru brz vs Toyota 86, or BMW Z4 vs Toyota Supra, or (almost) Audi R8 vs Lambo Gallardo… Same or similar platforms, different bells and whistles, sometimes significantly different parts and/designs.

          • @jsefrog: @jsefrog: At the end of the day, most people will understand what I was trying to explain (that card are not all made equal) but some won't unfortunately. Case in point. Admittedly I didnt actually provide any differences, but the likes of Brrrrt and Yekul filled the gap very nicely. The lesson learnt for me is, some people have no imagination. Queue the neggs, i'm moving on, piece

    • +3

      I'd be super happy with the TUF for this price.

      This is the card I am waiting for

    Hi BPC, I have a question/suggestion not entirely related to this posting: Would you be able to let us choose our own shipping methods (even if comes at a cost) and/or drop aramex as your shipping partner? They are seriously a bad company and it will start to put a dent into your business and your reputations. Just have a look under this thread: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/690560

    Don't get me wrong, I love the deals you guys been putting out and Ive basically being promoting your kraken laptops on every second gaming laptop thread here in ozbargain-because they seriously are good deals. But as good as your prices are, the weak link in your whole business is your shipping partner and no good price will make people buy your stuff if their stuff never ever get delivered on time at a remotely reasonable pace and that neither aramax's tracking nor CS system functions at all.

    • They used SF express for my delivery to SYD, arrived intact only thing I can fault was took a week.
      Tracking is terrible.
      Sms out for delivery 10am
      Sms saying was delayed at 6pm same day. Delivered next day.
      So pretty crap if you waited at home all day.
      :/ little inconvenient but getting good deals.

    • +7

      This. Aramex completely failed to deliver a package of mine in Adelaide and I ended up just losing my money.

      Every day of the week it says it's on-board for delivery but the driver will only deliver it on a random day. I spent numerous days at home expecting delivery but he came on other random days. Then they wanted to charge me for a third delivery which I refused.

      They couldn't just leave it because I live in a city apartment.

      They don't drop to Australia post.

      They don't have any drop off points in or near Adelaide CBD (they had one on their map but it was a lie and they don't drop there anymore).

      In the end they said they sent it back to the ebay seller, the ebay seller claimed they never received it and PayPal refused my refund because this whole process dragged on for more than 3 months or something.

      • +6

        aramex shouldn't be in business

        • +6

          They rebranded from Fastway couriers, probably to help get away from their terrible reviews.

          I too had one delivery be rescheduled multiple times. Such a waste of time waiting for something that won't arrive.

          • +2

            @twig: They rebranded as they got bought out.

            They aren't too bad if getting your stuff delivered to a workplace/business.

            Getting stuff delivered to residential and they go down hill very quick

          • @twig: oh Fastway, yeah they shouldn't be in business

    • +7

      For big purchases like this I would happily pay $20 extra shipping to have my parcel sent Auspost. Especially in my location. Aramex here are hopeless.

      Aramex shipping updates just don't work at all. Auspost tracking I get notified once onboard, and sometimes even the ETA for that day once driver starts the run.

    • +2

      300% agreed, all becoz of Arsamex, now forcing me to look away from BPC wonderful prebuilts … Simply not worth it. All BPC need to do is just give us a courier choice, hope they listen please …

    • +1

      Yes I hate getting packages from Aramex. They don't even bother attempting to deliver half the time and just leave a we missed you card. You then need to organise a redelivery…

    • That is so true!

    • +25

      Hi Brrrrt,

      First of all, we really appreciated your kindness to help us explain the hardware specs/software issues under the Kraken laptop post and many other posts.

      Your professional explanations impressed many of my colleagues.

      One of our colleagues did notice the issue and related discussion under the post you mentioned above.

      Our software team immediately looked into the system. Now you can see the Auspost Shipping method poped up with most Gaming PCs when you input the suburb & postcode when checking out.

      The Software team is still figuring out why Aramex popped up as the only shipping option. There is something wrong with the Auspost API. But we should fix it soon as all developers will be back in the office on Monday.

      Personally, I did have quite a bad experience with Fastway too, so I totally understand why everyone complained about them.

      We will start reaching out to Couriers like StarTrack and see if we can offer more premium shipping options, especially with Gaming PCs.

      Please understand that we do have customers looking for more affordable shipping options. Therefore, we have to keep couriers like Aramex on the service list.

      Again, thanks for your valuable advice.

      Sincerely,
      BPC Team

      • +5

        Thx BPC so much for really listening to customers comments, if we definitely can choose other couriers but NOT Arsamex, I will sure come back and consider your prebuilts as I am very impressed with all the exact brands and models of individual parts listed for each system on the description page.

  • +2

    Damn that’s awesome! For those who don’t know, the 12gb version of the 3080 is on par with the 3080ti. I believe the cheapest the 12gb has been is 1349 and that was during the afterpay sales.

    • -1

      Are you sure? There seems to be a 12Gb 3080 ti too.

      I suspect that you are referring to the 10Gb 3080?

      • +4

        So little difference and even outperforms 3080 Ti in some games

    • The cheapest 12gb was this, it wasn't part of afterpay sales: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/689394

    • How much better is a 12gb 3080 over a 10gb 3080?

      • I forgot which Steve said this, GN or HU, but gaming performance wise the better performance for the 12GB version was considered poor value given the price AT THE TIME.

        Now that the prices are falling, that observation may be a moot point.

        • $60 for 12gb over the gigabyte 10gb would be worth it.

    • Not according to this benchmark though:
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYoH6WKm5OA&t=432s

      It seems 12GB 3080 is closer in game performance to the 10GB 3080. 3080Ti is significantly faster.

  • +1

    HODL

    • +6

      Until they stop making them then HODL some more?

  • Good deal

  • This card ranked as 53th among all 55 3080s according to https://youtu.be/q_VC_00wcMU

    • +8

      by some rando youtube channel. i wont take it as gospel.

      • that video doesn't seem to test those cards individually, he probably just copy pasted other sources. Didn't see actual temp measurement, just bunch of graphs.

        • It's not completely scientific as they are comparing across multiple review sites which all have their own methodology, but even someone having a look at all the data and making a subjective decision is worth something. Like doobes said, don't treat it like gospel, but it's a useful resource given most tech sites have completely given up with big comparisons of AIBs within a given model range
