Jensen said on stage that the 5070 gives "4090 levels of performance for USD$549"

For some reference - the 4070 Super launched at USD$599, and here most 3rd party AIB's are retailing for AUD$999.

US pricing for the 5070Ti is USD$749, the 5080 is USD$999, and the 5090 is USD$1,999.

Who's getting one??!

          given current exchange rate trajectory that might be spot on by release time.

      No way, you might as well pay direct for a US one and get it directly shipped here for an extra $10 instead of paying double the price.

            @commiewealth: Ah yes, those 9 years of solid debt the last mob built up. COVID was the best thing to happen to the Liberal party because they had shot the debt right up prior to it happening, and when it happened, they threw more cash around under the guise of COVID.

                +1

                @R4: It's less about the COVID response (well giving billions to the banks to give out more loans and the banks then just holding onto the money wasn't a great idea but whatever) and more about the debt they quadrupled in the years prior that everyone seems to forget.

                • R4 on 10/01/2025 - 14:27

                  @Ruddaga: Both sides of politics have spent too much over previous decades - they all like big government, overgenerous welfare, waste etc but the coalition have been in government more than the ALP so naturally will have run up more debt.

                  Neither side has done a good job in this regard but we also have an electorate that sees government as a concierge service unfortunately.

                    @R4: For all those that are not aware welfare includes all types of social security spending and accounts for the largest chunk of spending by the government. It includes the disability, age pension, family tax benefits, jobseeker, etc and jobseeker usually has the smallest budget out of the lot. I feel people always think that unemployment is costly when if you eliminated that expense the government would just allocate it to somewhere else lol 😂

                    • R4 on 12/01/2025 - 20:13
                      +1

                      @cobknob: Governments in Australia have a spending problem. They have plenty of income but often use it poorly - including over generous welfare. It's not the only area of waste - they employ far too many civil servants for example - but it is a major problem.

                      • cobknob on 13/01/2025 - 00:06

                        @R4: Ndis, family tax benefits, childcare subsides, and age pensions are over generous NOT employment benefits or other forms of assistance. Fixing the pension is a challenging one, ndis is simply restricting usage, childcare subsides should apply to a couple with a combined income of less than 150$k, and same goes for family tax benefits.

                        Gov also needs to fix tax brackets and paying 0 tax should be a no no. Then I could afford a 5090 LEGEND edition haha. Did I also mentioned government contracts are lucrative and overblown - eg infrastructure contracts and budgets always blowout.

          Given Trump means huge inflationary pressure their and higher rates this is actually likely to hurt our dollar more as investors flee to the higher interest rates.

      • jk82 on 07/01/2025 - 15:16

        Well the 4090 at launch was $3.5k, and the 4080 was $2.4k so it's sort of in line with that. Will be interesting to see benchmarks and how much of the performance gains rely on DLSS4 and how that'll be inserted into games.

      • Trance N Dance on 07/01/2025 - 15:24

        Pricing looks like a 15% markup once GST is accounted for. That weak dollar is quite painful.

      • wots on 07/01/2025 - 15:38

        5070: 599 USD is 956.78 AUD. Add 10% GST comes to 1052.46. I assume the extra 56 is for our 2 year ACL warranty (only 1 year in the USA)

        One can only speculate if the AUD appreciates enough in ~2years such that the upcoming RTX6090 will come in at $4206.90 AUD

    Reviews and benchmarks required, $ per frame. Might have to cash in some annual leave, sell the kids and as a last resort the synths. Cpu limited on an 11700k as well. Curious to see how much the Australia tax is.

    • posilepton on 07/01/2025 - 15:03

      Aussie tax looks to be about 12-15%.

    • drprox on 07/01/2025 - 15:16

      People buying these generally won't care about $/frame just frames.

      • feral on 07/01/2025 - 15:21
        +2

        Between 5070 to 5080 I'd call it relevant.

        • drprox on 07/01/2025 - 19:52

          Maybe but still not sure anyone at those price points is looking at $/frame. They're either juuuuust scraping together enough for a 5070 or buying a 5080 anyway. Just like it's been for many generations.

          • gromit on 08/01/2025 - 09:34
            +1

            @drprox: I certainly will be, while I can afford the 5080, if the 5070 does the job at a better price per frame I will save the money for a future upgrade. Will also be having a close look at the RX 9000 series cards to see if they do the job at a better $ per frame.

            edit : ewwww I take it back, the 5070 is only 12GB. how pathetic. that should not be a thing for a $1000+ card in 2025. So for me will be between the 5070 ti and 5080 or potentially RX 9000. I just wish my RX 6800 was not on deaths door so I could skip this gen.

            • xylarr on 08/01/2025 - 10:05

              @gromit: Yeah, I have an RX6700 and even compared to the 4070 it's not good. My Ship of Theseus machine has gone though maybe 8 graphics cards over the last ~20 years, of both religious persuasions. Time to switch to nVidia again.

            • kouk on 10/01/2025 - 10:04

              @gromit: Just buy a 9800xt for $700 and skip this gen.

              • gromit on 10/01/2025 - 13:00

                @kouk: that's a lot of money to spend to "skip" a gen.

    • furythree on 09/01/2025 - 03:37
      +3

      the problem is that these numbers are all bullsh1t

      hes comparing apples to oranges.

      20 real calculated and drawn frames + 100 interpolated frames using DLSS 4 by AI = 120 jensenframes vs 60 real frames by a last gen GPU
      ironically it seems like 5 series generates LESS organic frames than previous gen. With the exception being the 5090 which is $500 usd MORE expensive

      for the average user it may not matter. but for FPS shooters theres input lag and artifacting (which is minimised with the new reflex tech and approach to frame gen, but still exists). twitch shooters are where high FPS matter in the first place. for single player games where lag doesnt matter, you didnt need high FPS to begin with.

      so this really only benefits low end machines, laptops and no twitch shooter games

      Dunno about you but I bought my 3080 on launch day for just under $1200 AUD. This is substantially more expensive, even if you paid scalper prices.

      • jk82 on 07/01/2025 - 15:16

        that's pre-covid pricing!

      • plmko on 07/01/2025 - 17:20

        Yeah you bought it launch day. That's not what I am pointing to.

        I bought a 3070Ti for $1500 and a 3080 standard for $1900. Coincidence?

        And then there were people desperate enough to buy above used cards for more than I paid when I moved on.

  • Zabuza on 07/01/2025 - 15:47

    these would be Nvidia direct ones, I will be higher at third party sellers.

      • Zabuza on 07/01/2025 - 20:32

        Nope, they never head, which leads me to believe this pricing is most likely the cheapest third party seller pricing. As it says "Starting at". One can only hope the third party guys make 2 slot variants. Sffpc!

      They’ve priced the 5 series in a way where the 4090s current price is still relevant(the gap at $3k) ..5070 will just not have 4090 raw performance … maybe in select titles using dlss 4 frame gen trickery. I don’t even think the 5080 will touch the 4090..tbh. Wait till benchmarks I’ll eat my shorts if I’m wrong.

      With DLSS 4 apparently it'll be 2x

      but in real world without DLSS 4 (aka multi frame gen) I'm guessing it won't be as much.

    5080 Laptop 16GB GDDR7 = 5070 Ti Desktop 16GB performance
    5070 Ti Laptop 12GB GDDR7 = 5070 Desktop 12GB performance
    5070 Laptop 8GB GDDR7 = unannounced 5060 Desktop 8GB performance

    The AMD Defence Force on OzBargain just got played with NV now officially grinding Radeon into dust

    AMD did not even properly announce RDNA 4 with any prices because they were too scared to offer a good deal

    And after Jacket Man announced the 5070 for $550 USD, AMD realised "holy shit, we can't sell this 9070 XT 16GB with 4070 Super'ish performance and single title FSR 4 support for $500 USD"

          It's going to kick off the most hotly contested GPU market in years. NVIDIA will win comprehensively, but at least the alternatives aren't as horrible as they were 2 years ago.

      my thoughts exactly.

      I upgraded from a GTX970 to a used RTX3080 last year. its fine for a few more years.

      this year ill upgrade my 3930k to a 9950X3D (possibly 9950X depending on benchmarks.)

    The dollar is bad but it still comes to $1613 with the exchange rate. Add $161 for GST. That's around $1800 not $2020.

    Last time I checked- shipping to the US from asia is further than Aus.

    Someone should start a class action lawsuit for this "aus tax". If you remember back to when our dollar was on par with the US and even worth more the same aus tax was in existence.

    Newbie to the PC scene here.
    Other than FX, AUS logistic tax and GST, can someone explain to me why obtaining one of these will be significantly more $$$$ than what NVIDIA announced today? Third parties throw on fun tax?

      Yeah every one is comparing nvidas ‘founders price’ in USD to the ‘starting’ price gif the cards we will get - which won’t be Nvida versions. 3rd Party has always been a bit higher

      Essentially because Nvidia don’t give 3rd party reasonable headroom with the RRP, to design, fab, test and market their cards - look up videos on why EVGA dropped out of the GPU market.

      Add on top of that issue, we here in Au have a small market so smaller shipments, stronger consumer law (you bet if these cards die on there own in 3,4,5 years people will try consumer protection), weak exchange rate and they probably also factor it that it might get worse ( they can’t change pricing each week). Then you might find there is a local regional importer then the local retail store also wants to make money (that’s two more hands it comes through vs direct from nvida in the US) .. well you are going to see that “15 - 20% Australia tax” appear.

        Thanks for explaining. So fair to say even though founders price for 5070 Ti is $1.5k its probably going to be a hell of a lot closer to $2k when MSI/Gigabyte etc release theirs?
