RTX 3080 10 GB still available for $999, from the last post more than 30 days ago.

Add a low-valued item for free metro shipping (thanks AusNugz).

AND…. leather jacket man announced:

The RTX 4080 will release second in November and will start at the below prices for the Founder’s Edition (which we aren’t sure if Australia is getting this time around).

RTX 4080 (12GB) will start at $1,659 AUD
RTX 4080 (16GB) will start at $2,219 AUD

https://press-start.com.au/news/tech-news/2022/09/21/austral…

With the premium pricing of 4080, the 3080 for $999 is still a steal, grab yours before they all gone….

And stop paying HODL tax. LOL.

                @Dsiee: Yeah there's a good enough amount of time between now and when AMD launches. That's a lot of 3000 cards that will still be sold at inflated prices before they lower prices further. Don't be a chump with FOMO unless you really need it now. Basic supply and demand.

                I'm waiting until after AMD launches because that's when the pressure will really be on NVIDIA to clear out their 3000 cards. If AMD plays it smart and prices well, they could potentially have 3000 buyers move across.

        • TChalla on 21/09/2022 - 12:31

          Yes.

        • jasswolf on 21/09/2022 - 12:51
          +19

          They're not even selling the 4080 cards for at least 2 months it seems, so they can say whatever they want until AMD fires a shot.

          Seems they've opted to say 'buy a 3090 for $1100-$1200, and a 3080 for $800-$900'.

          By the time they launch them, the 30 series inventory will be gone and AMD will have set their prices. The 4090 makes economic sense, but the 4080 does not.

          However, the 4080 makes arithmetic sense currently to those who do not understand the market, and I hope everyone with a platform is calling out NVIDIA for this.

          The whole process could be a tactic to lull AMD and Intel into a false sense of security regarding 2nm/3nm and 5nm orders and retail pricing, but it doesn't seem to be a particularly clever one.

          Regardless, wait.

          • RMBC on 21/09/2022 - 13:00

            @jasswolf: Everything I've seen so far accords with this; 4090 is relatively in line with 3090, 4080 16G is overpriced, and only able to be done since the 4080 12G is really what was expected from a 4070

              @RMBC: I didn't mind them calling an early 4070 Ti a 4080 model, but the way they have priced both only makes sense for selling off remaining 30 series cards.

              I doubt this price even makes it to their November launch.

          • Larsson on 21/09/2022 - 14:02
            +4

            @jasswolf: Honestly going to have to agree. When new tech/product comes in, older product prices substantially reduce because a lot of the design and tooling is now amortised and their profit margins are so much larger.

            So NVidia instead of doing that, just decided to up the next gens price. So ludicrous premium over on both existing and new gen.

            Vote with your wallet and wait just a little so they have to re-adjust pricing. This is surely them testing the waters to see if they can keep pricing stuff up and trying to find the ceiling.

              @Larsson: Yup I can't imagine wafer costs are more than 40% higher than TSMC 7nm as of this year (TSMC 5nm is also mature), and it's double the density so it's offset entirely for AD103 and lower, plus bus width is reduced a third comparing the 3080 and the 16GB 4080.

              GDDR6X costs should also be way down. They're cheap GPUs.

          They basically said it with the slide that has the pricing for 4090 and 4080 then said 3080, 3070, 3060 from 329. Why would you be advertising your 30 series at your 40 series launch/reveal otherwise. It is 100% a market tactic to sell 30 series.

    • Zorololo on 21/09/2022 - 12:20

      Why are you still HODLing at this point. Of course the 40 series is priced high. Of course the 30 series isnt' going to magically drop to $500 for a 3090. If you're still holding just give up on buying a GPU for the next two years.

        HODL for 7XXX series from AMD to get announced. It will definitely be cheaper than ngreedia. It would be unfair to jump on these deals without knowing whats next from team Red. They definitely have something nice cooking otherwise nvidia wouldnt have released a 600 W card.

        Or that AMDs new GPUs are due soon?

        Or that demand is slowing down due to inflation in major markets?

          agree, out of the past 2 years, right now has the most sense of HOLDING, otherwise one should have bought it months ago.

        • Zorololo on 21/09/2022 - 22:52

          They will trickle feed 40 series for the next few months to mimic the lack of stock that happened with the 30 series. So people won't able to buy 40 series even if they want too. The people that had been waiting for 40 series have now seen confirmed prices so they will be running to 3080s and 3090s. A lot of people don't want to buy used mining cards that have no warranty.

          Retailers are not going to have any trouble shifting 3080s and 3090 for the next 6 months so they won't be dropping prices much. The 3080 has been hitting $999 since 12/08/2022 but it has not dropped below that since. The lowest you'll see a 12gb 3080 this year will $950.

        +3

        Unless you desperately need a new card, why wouldn't you HODL?

        Nvidia's reasoning behind the expensive prices is simple: They have a backlog of older cards they want to sell (high 40 series launch prices make them seem like a better deal to quickly snap up 20/30 series cards just like the 10 series cards on 20 series launch). Also, they know they've got a short window of headstart before AMD launches their stuff where they can charge any price they like.

        Once AMD launch as well, then NVIDIA will be forced to slash prices because they massively overbought fab space and there's no miners to eat it all up.

    • GandalfTheCheap on 21/09/2022 - 17:10
      +2

      If you've waited this long, you'd be stupid not to wait until prices fall further over the next month or two as miners dump their cards, AMD releases their new GPUs, etc.

          Return as faulty within manufacture warranty via amazon chat. Got mine returned after 5 months of having it within 1-minute f chat support, they usually never ask about what the fault is and organise a return and refund or replacement.

          Otherwise within 30 days for change of mind, no questions asked even if open.

      They had a corporate explanation of what they're doing but I forget the 'fancy words', but they're basically reducing supply of 3000 to keep prices a bit higher, and they're deliberately pricing 4000 to be roughly the same $/flop. Essentially they're just screwing over the market.

      We're relying on miners, amd, or Intel to force them to drop prices.

      • justtoreply on 21/09/2022 - 12:12
        +42

        No.

        If you follow that logic then the voodoo rush cards were $400 so now that cards are 5000 times faster they should cost $2000000.

        We have always had next generation hardware for pretty minimal cost increases. That's how it works, likely due to manufacturing on smaller nodes. Small performance premium plus extra ram cost.. The rest is Nvidia trying to keep prices high.

        Maybe it will work. It worked for Apple. But i don't think it will… They've lost the mining market and will just push people onto consoles. They won't have nearly as many customers left

          Cost of a 7nm wafer $9K, cost of 5nm wafer $17K, which coincidently is priced in a manner in which the cost per transistor is the same, and since Nvidia isn't using chiplets yet, the price of their products must increase.

        But why bother holding onto them if they’re just going to rot? Wouldn’t it be better to cash out while the cards are still worth something regardless of whether they turned a profit or not during the mining boom?

        Edit: Businesses generally resell assets after their endeavour is complete. It’s called the salvage value and the same principle should apply here

            @[Deactivated]: I know you meant figuratively but they are a depreciating asset so value is rotting away
            It doesn’t matter if the cards have turned a profit or not, they are still worth something so should be resold to further profits if of no use.
            I guess the chance of another mining boom is the only real reason to hold them. Doesn’t sound like a good decision financially though, the slim chance it will be useful later is not worth holding onto a depreciating asset

              Personally I think it will be a slow burn to try and avoid crashing the market. If I had 30 cards, i'd sell a few at a time to make sure supply isn't > demand.

All those cards sitting doing nothing where you could sell up, invest and have the money work for you in another way. I don't get the theory of letting it sit doing nothing. Your only 'win' is if there is another mining boom and cards are sudden stupidly priced and you can't buy back in, that's your gamble.

        Total nonsense. Just picked up near new shiny 3080ti from nice lady ex-miner. $500 and she made me a surprise favor before I left home. Will see a queue of ex-miners along the road offering their service soon too.

      I've been watching eBay since the merge and there don't seem to be many cheap pre-owned cards and they're usually priced around 800-900. No sane person would go for a heavily mined card when they can pay 100-200 for a brand new one.

        Realistically they should start popping up soon. Some miners have tried other forms of mining, but they aren't as profitable. Either way, the prices are due to demand being greater than supply, even second hand cards have been selling at very high values, so once there is more supply than demand, prices will drop. Given that less GPU's will now be bought for mining, it should mean there will be less demand on new ones, and second hand ones, while being greater supply of second hand ones.
        I ran a GPU used for mining and had no issues. Just give it adequate cooling and you will be fine.
        Typically miners reduce power and clock speed of the GPU btw.

          I'll wait until there's a little less demand as people buy up current used and new 3000 cards, and more supply in a few months with the release of the new gens. Then I'll decide whether to go new gen or old gen depending on market prices…because this is OZB after all lol.

    Add something from here for a few dollars to qualify for the free shipping when spending over $1000

      that is very smart thanks

  • BlockBroking on 21/09/2022 - 12:23

    HODL until the Merge! Trust in Vitalik.

    oh wait…

      Now we're going through the reshuffling phase. Everyone that said "oh but miners will move to ETC/RVN etc are now realising the difficulty sky-rocketed, there isn't enough liquidity, and mining them is a loss making exercise. It'll take a few weeks/months for the cards to get sold off.

      Peaked at about 220, and rapidly dropped to 150.

      The 'starting at' is especially ominous. How much higher will it go lmao

        Yeah… that's bare card with no PCIE 5.0 power adaptor or heatsink, or fans…

          I heard it doesn't even include the card and it's just the box. The card costs another 5k on top lol

    • nitens on 21/09/2022 - 12:31

      But they won't be that far off. 750USD for a 3080 10GB EVGA on newegg, and 1320AUD for the same card from the same site (and other sellers) here.

    RTX 4080 (12GB) will start at $1,659 AUD

    Note that the rtx 4080 12gb should really be called a 4070, due to it being significantly less powerful than the 4080 16gb. They are different skus altogether

    Nvidia pricing sucks ass, I hate Jensen

    So with the RRP of 40 series what are good/great prices for the 30 series now?

    And stop paying HODL tax. LOL.

    What is this HODL tax you’re referring to? The cards have been dropping so even if you bit the bullet now, you’ve ended up saving by HODLing

        Keep HODLing
