    Thanks mate, bought 2.

    • +39

      should have bought 4 for SLI

      • +3

        96GB of Vram does seem a bit of an overkill.

        • +6

          who needs RAM these days, when you can have so much VRAM

          • +47

            @shabaka: chrome has joined the chat

            • +4

              @slowmo: you better learn to keep your hands off my VRAM, chrome. I uninstalled you ages ago!

          • @shabaka: someone once said 640kB ought to be enough for anyone.

      • +15

        I know you're not series but they removed the SLI bridge connector this time

        • +2

          such a shame

        • +14

          Only happens in a parallel universe then

        • +11

          How could NV do that. I can't get enough performance for minesweeper now.

      • -1

        No SLI support on these cards.

    • +42

      5 years ago top-end 1080ti 11gb was around 1000 aud rrp

      So nvidia sucks

      • +2

        yes and Nvidia share price has gone up 1000x

        • +39

          Yes the new cards are faster each time, if they more than double in price every 5 years though that is massively above inflation and wages people would need a 30 year loan eventually for one. And the rises are just out of pure corporate greed not legitimate reasons, they purposely cut production to keep prices high.

          If price scaled with speed a video card should be a few million now since the 90s, what kind of excuse is that lol.

            @Kommodore: 2028 - Nvidia rtx 6090 $8200

            @Kommodore:

            If price scaled with speed a video card should be a few million now since the 90s

            Don't give nvidia any ideas now…

          • +7

            @Kommodore: Not 100% accurate as I've found some errors but more or less a good representation of the price creep. What isn't displayed is we can no longer trust the number. Basically, a GPU's tier really is determined by the die size/model we're getting less and paying more.

            For example, The RTX4080(12GB) is the NVIDIA AD104 GPU die this GPU is the same GPU on the 4060 and 4070. Where as the 4080 is on AD103 and 4090 is on 102

            RTX 3090/3080 etc were on the GA102 and the 3060/3070 were on GA104

            GTX 1080ti GP102. 1080, 1070 and 160 were on GP104

            GTX 980ti GM 200. 980 970 and 960 on GM 204 (960 was also on GM 206)

            https://www.cgdirector.com/gpu-msrp-list/

            4090: $1599
            3090: $1499
            3080 12GB/10GB: $799/$699
            2080: $699
            1080: $599
            980: $549
            780: $649
            680: $499

            3090 ti: $2000
            3080 ti: $1119
            2080 ti: $999
            1080 ti: $699
            980 ti: $649
            780 ti: $699

        • +3

          Significantly higher performance and significantly higher power draw.

      • +3

        your friend AMD will price it almost exactly the same kekw

        • +4

          They didn't last gen

        • +1

          this didnt age well

      • i mean theres also inflation, 1k 2015 money is now 1.2k, but every gen theres a price increase and that stacks up annoyingly, amd does the same

      • +4

        Just when I can afford $1000 graphic card the price increase outside my budget.

      • It's worth comparing the x090 series with Titans it replaced, I think the price for Titans was also very high (around 2.5-3k AUD if I remember correctly).

        4080 price increase is very significant compared to 1080/2080/3080

    • +13

      Thanks Luke, I am tempted but have no money left…. all goes to high petrol, food, interest rate, insurance.

      • +3

        Have you considered joining the rail union and turning off the Opal readers?

        We'll all be rich soon enough…

    thanks mate, bought 4 as heater in each room, can't wait for winter.

    • +3

      Do air cons work well as a gpu? It's already a closed loop.

    • apparently they are silent running so it’ll be like a passive radiator at 600w.

      I recon u’ll need about 3 of these to heat up a room

      • +1

        If it can heat up a room like my p4 prescott. Then i approve.

    • +1

      buy 100 make and youtube it

    • +4

      These seem to undervolt well, 300 watts and 5% or less preformance loss. All the coolers are overkill, nvidia pushed them to 450 watts for points of gains. AMD might be bring the heat this gen, if so the 4090Ti will be out in 6 months would be my guess.

    • I think we need a comparison chart with W/$, ie higher numbers are better heaters per dollar. I’ll askYouTuber PC Builder to put one together; he likes his spreadsheets.

    • +1

      Don't joke its a thing - Jasminer heater: https://www.jasminer.com/#/news-detail/97

      In summer, we can use them as microwave oven to heat lunch up. Bargain!

    LOL 3k for a video card, Jacket man thinks gamers are all millionaires

    • +23

      Considering apes all over the world were paying the equivalent of 2k AUD+ for 3080s etc can you blame him?

      • +72

        That was Ethereum apes with gold wallets. Now he doesn't realise he's dealing with literal apes with no money.

        • +1

          Very true lol

          Clear they designed this cards thinking the mining boom would last forever

        • Monkey see, monkey do…

      • +3

        I suspect the plan/hope is to milk those people with initial high prices, which they don't realistically expect to be sustainable, but hey, they can announce price drops when stock is a bit higher and the first wave has been bought up at 2-3x the actual price they'll bring it down to..

        • +1

          that's why they release highest spec first

    • +5

      Price is what the market will bear, not what you think is fair.

      • +25

        This price is what Nvidia thinks the market will bear.

        What the market will actually bear remains to be seen.

        (Though I have no doubt there are enough rich/keen/silly people to sell out the always-tiny numbers of cards they ship at launch. We'll see how fast they are forced to bring the price down to something less ludicrous in the coming months. My guess is not as fast as we'd hope: even if the ex-mining price crash is finally happening, it may not affect this top 1% of the market much).

        • +7

          "I have no doubt there are enough rich/keen/silly people to sell out…"

          So what you're saying is the market will actually bear this price?

          • +1

            @Tunblor: The crypto market is certainly in a bear

          • +4

            @Tunblor: 😂

            For the first few days of launch? Probably. For the other 99.99% of it's time on the market? We'll see.

      • Price is what Nvidia sets. The market is literally a duopoly.

        • +1

          Some would argue that with intel its not anymore. However I don't even agree its a duopoly, with how close nvdia get to devs for their drivers. Hell, i've heard they'll fly out their dudes, for free, to meet even indie devs and guide them through streamlining code to work with their drivers well. AMD aint doing that.

          • +1

            @philmarcracken: Nvidia has been a monopoly outside of 'playing games' for close to a decade now.
            Anything GPGPU or Machine Learning that has to work on Windows or perform well has to be an Nvidia.
            Intel could break this soon but it remains to be seen.

    • +4

      Jensens got expensive habits, someones gotta pay.

      Jacket man thinks gamers are all millionaires

      No. Jacket man is feasting on people’s ego and foolishness. If we learnt anything during the great shortage of tp and electronics, these people will pay anything to get these shit into their hands for no good reason.

      And lets agree, it’s super fun to see some YT reviewers go all hysterical in their videos over some fps numbers and rebuild their bi-yearly desk setups calling it the best!

      Have fun!

      • +3

        shortage of tp

        get shit into their hands

        It's not adding up. 🤪

    • +1

      Who is jacket man?

      • +2

        person mentioned in the youtube discussion by Jay link above… we avoid saying his name, because if we do it each time, the RRP of the GPUs goes up.

  • +4

    Got 6 thx!

    • +37

      only six? Are you poor?

      • +1

        They are generous and think of all the poor that can only afford one. Thanks, mate! Got just 5 for the same reason as you!

  • +3

    Here goes the kidney

    • +12

      Sell both. You dont need em.

    • +20

      I usually sell a bit of my liver, it grows back every couple of years just in time for my next GPU purchase.

      • +1

        Hahhaa might have to do that for the love of jacket man

      • +2

        You'll need to sell both livers for this one

        • +3

          Will have to hunt down a second one.

  • +4

    Any bargains for us commoners?
    Maybe an Intel Arc deal?

    • +8

      Theres always an s3 trio.

      • +6

        you forgot to pair it with a 3dfx voodoo1

        • +1

          A very potent combo.

        • +1

          With my Tseng labs ET4000

      • Ah, my first discrete GPU. Best $19 bucks I ever spent (lunch money deal in the playground).

  • +9

    …are expected to arrive in the first week of November. There is no lower price in Australia. Enjoy!

    Thanks mate sent one for my friend Kim Jong Un for his nuclear silo

    • +3

      They've been trying to get the AI to land on Japan, but it just keeps going in the sea. Thanks Nvidia!

    • +2

      Dennis Rodman, is that you?

  • +7

    2800 for the card alone? that's more than my entire PC cost, which was top of the line only 3 years ago

    • +5

      It's almost like there has been some big event that has rattled world supply chains and sent inflation soaring while at the same time driving up demand for gaming hardware as more and more people stay at home.

      Seriously though, if 25yo me heard about $4k graphics cards, his brain would pop.

      EDIT: Plus cryptobros, bro.

      • +27

        The price is not driven by demand or increased costs. Its pure nvidia marketing.

        • +1

          This price in particular? Because 3090's selling at double nVidia's RRP for years tells me otherwise, at least for those cards.

        • Of course the price is driven by demand. Nvidia's marketing only exists to increase demand.

      • Eveyrone works from home and Cyberpunk came out… Coincidence? You decide

        • +1

          i played cyberpunk with a 1080… so its not like its unplayable if you aren't on a 3000 series.

    • +5

      yeah, dumbasses were paying that for 3080 so Nvidia though, what the heck, lets jack them prices up for next gen so they make money not scalpers '
      monkeys get what they asked for

  • +31

    Bought 0, HODL.

  • +15

    hold! 40 series is around the Corner

    oh,wait……

    • +48

      Hodl for the 50 series.

      • LOL

      • +1

        60 not far off either

        • +6

          I will hold for the 69.

      • +1

        Hodl for AMD
