wow, what a god-awful website
Not a good website unless it loads in 100mb of pictures and moving sales banners!
Oh my god, straight flashbacks to 1998.
they also have this Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4080 GAMING OC 16GB GDDR6X for $100 more $1700
https://www.ccpu.com.au/show_prod.php?class_id=video-nvidia&…I mean, if you keep paying 100 more, you might as well buy the 4080 super at around 18xx
What!? I thought the 4080 Super was USD$200 cheaper than the OG 4080!
It's supposed to be 1K USD so about 1.5k AUD? But of course, we have our Australian cost…
4080 super is like 2% faster…it's not worth it.
God that website is so 2000
If only the prices were.
Looks fine on my Netscape browser, not sure what you're complaining about. :)
The fact I remember Netscape Navigator makes me feel very old
You're not wrong - from the menu js:

This looks ancient by 2007 standards ;)
so does the shop, old school brick and mortar.
Reminds me of the nissan.com website (back when it was still up).
Maybe if this was the super variant I’d consider this a deal but sadly it’s not
Performance difference is basically negligible :(
Was $1500 last week. Better price.
Was is the keyword, also different model this is still a low for the card.
@lookingforadeal7: Low for now, but it's always been overpriced to it's performance, not really worth at 1600
@Tbargain12: I agree with the sentiment all GPUs are currently overpriced, but "inflation" (quotations cause honestly that's not a good reason when retailers still bought the cards at X costs before inflation). We've seen these prices 6 months ago actually and hasn't really dropped under until the recent $1500 deal. But how low can it go? I'm guessing what retailers purchased at is the lowest it can go and if the recent prebuilt 4080 deals are anything to go by where the retailers are passing on the savings at low margins I'm not so sure if we'll see it drop much lower than $1500 in the long run.
@lookingforadeal7: That's true, it all depends on the amount of stock left, and whether people will flock to buy them all at this price, then there's absolutely no incentive for them to drop the cost for now while they're replaced by the super.
@Tbargain12: Yeah I agree, the supers are just a sneaky RRP reset by Nvidia. I'd be hesitant to buy just due to last gen and this gen, 4070 beating a 3080. Id hate to buy this and the 5070 be released at $1k with 16gb VRAM and beat the 4080 in games. I'd probably never buy from Nvidia again if I had purchased a 3xxx series card at RRP.
@lookingforadeal7: Yep… unfortunately I bought 3080ti at the time when it was like 2.5k, back then didn't really have a choice, but realistically I was upgrading from a 1080ti, so I sold that and plus had a gift card, so I only paid about $500.
Yeah might just have to see what I end up doing, if the 4080 drops below or around 1500 before they clear out, I might upgrade and sell 3080ti, but if not I'll probably end up waiting to see the next gen AMD hopefully late this year or wait until 5xxx series.
Not in a hurry, but only if I plan on moving to 4K monitor.
@lookingforadeal7: GPU prices are not much up to the retailers. Nvidia (and board partneres to a lesser extent) controls prices centrally, and will rebate retailers to do sales.
@xrailgun: Oh I see thanks for the info I actually didn't know about this, makes a lot more sense I thought retailers just had fairly large markups
@lookingforadeal7: not that it's any better, both are bottom-tier cards from each manufacture, get the cheapest one possible, wait for it to hit 1500 cause we know it can
Yeah but if you don't consider the non-super a deal at this price, I don't see how it being the super would make it a deal.
The difference is so tiny that they might as well be the same card.@BadAtEveryGame: Yeah and if you put into account the super is 5% more performance but more than 10% of the cost of this deal this is still a deal considering current prices, can't say it's not a deal off possible future pricing I'm sure many people expected bigger drops but doesn't seem like that's the case.
@lookingforadeal7: I Agree 100%. The difference is almost 20% of the cost, at AUD$1875 for a generic 4080 Super.
Ventus wasn’t
agreed, and msi ventus is not a good build anyway.
Care to share why this is?
it is the lowest tier in the MSI lineup,
msi ventus is the smallest (air-cooled) 4080/4090 card besides the FE (which we don't get in Australia). basically all 4080/4090 cards are over-engineered in terms of cooling and power delivery. as far as I know, there are no particular issues with the ventus 4080/4090.
Great shop, been going here for over 15 years.
Their website looks 25 years old.
17 years actually based on some comments in their javascript haha
Nah, if it was 25 years old it would be designed probably for a 640x480 window, meaning you'd have loads of wasted space on either side. This one stretches out to fit the screen width, so much newer design.
I think it's great, Without the sarcasm. I'd rather they supply well priced parts than spend money on trendy websites 😉
PNY card on sale for the same price at a much better store
I bought components for my previous pc, the i7 920 from CCPU back in 2008. Their website was the same back then as it is today. Surprisingly, they have survived all these years!
After holding, been wavering over this, don’t think this card is going to dip to 1500 like the PNY (which doesn’t fit my case)
Reminds me of fluidtek's website
That's because it IS Fluidtek's website (in a way). These guys bought he business from "Fast" Eddie in mid 2000s as he had kind of like a cult following and they basically bought his clients.
Man, I remember buying stuff from him when he was running the shop form his garage in North Rocks! With his father making me turkish coffee while I waited for the delivery van. Good times.
Oh, what a surprise! They still have a fax number listed on their website. So, of course, I thought I'd be all retro and place an order through fax. But lo and behold, it's not connecting! Well, I guess that's a deal-breaker for me. No fax, no deal
You must be a Man Utd fan using Fax for deals :D
Not the cheapest 4080 to date, but for those who are wondering it would be one of the smaller 4080 that can fit in some of the popular itx cases; A4h2O, Fractal Terra and T1.
What is this website bro lmao?
$1600 is the most I'd pay for a 4080, it just isn't good enough for the price.
I'd wait a bit longer, hard to know if the official price cut has been passed on yet, and the dollar (AUD vs USD) may be on the way up which could help too.
Doesn’t ccpu refuse to post or something like that
