ATL at a local retailer? Stock seems available online and at some stores. While this is an SFF compatible version, it appears to have a vapour chamber so should be cooler/quieter than the other SFF versions of the 5080.

Shadow is a low end entry model card. I would definitely pay an extra $29 for this card instead.
Goodness me, a “crippled” 5080 should be at half of this price.
Someeeebody at the distribution centres noticed stock ain't moving… I reckon EOFY will see $1800 base cards, flush stock to a low state waiting for the super series
Yeh, hope you're right.
At a guess, the super versions will start at around $2500, you reckon?
Depends on supply and demand - the 4080 Super was widely considered what the 4080 should have always been, slight bump in performance and a more reasonable price point, and as a result was much better received.
I wouldn't be holding my breath on the Super cards though, supply has been constrained since launch, and past performance (which does not predict future performance) suggests 12-18 months cycle until we see them. I'm also highly skeptical on the 24Gb rumors. There's no reason that just because they can add 3Gb chips, that they have to use them for every slot, a mix of 2Gb and 3Gb for a total of 20Gb Is what I'd bet on.
Decent for a SFF build, but this variant is light on cooling so maybe hold out if temps/noise are a priority.
Still, cheapest 5080 in a while I guess? Still obscene prices though.
"So get good internet"
You realise this is Australia, right? Where 40% of the country has mandatory terrible internet by law?
I’m surprised by the downvotes. Was trying to save OzBargain folk literally thousands but I suppose savings are no longer the priority on this website? People here want to give Nvidia more money upfront, sure..
But in all seriousness, I am confident most people would be pleasantly surprised by how well GeForce NOW performs even on a 100 down connection and reasonable Wi-Fi 6 router.
The downvotes you received were well deserved, you were suggesting something that's literally impossible for nearly half the country to receive an alternative that isn't useful.
How do you suggest people play competitive shooters with all that input latency? How about fighting games?
How does one train machine learning models on GeForce Now?
How do you suggest everybody stuck with Fibre to the Node, which maxes out at 25mbit, doesn't work when it's raining, with no alternative and no fibre upgrade available or planned for their area, such as my parents, simply "just get good internet"?
Additionally, your tone was sarcastic and unpleasant. I hadn't even downvoted you, in fact, but I will now.
@EitherWayUp: Latency @ 240fps on GeForce NOW (<40ms end to end with perfect 1000/1000 fiber in a metro area…) has more input lag than dropping all the way to 30fps (<33ms) on a local pc, so unless you only play RTS games or something it's genuinely unusable.
If you can't percieve 40ms of input lag I don't really know what to say, <10ms is easily perceptible to esentially all people.
It's a significantly larger disadvantage than going from 144fps to 60fps in a competitive title.
I want whatever Nvidia AI marketing slop this guy is smoking…
@HPdeskjet: I have been using GeForce now for almost a year, on the back of my third custom pc. Gave up building due to the stupid prices of GPU’s. Like with this post. I don’t play competitive shooters but have played Black Ops 6 via GeForce NOW and I can absolutely confidently say the latency is not nearly as noticeable as you’re suggesting above. This is at 120hz mind you, which GFN is capable of. But competitive shooters aside, most people that try it are blown away by how responsive it is. I mean heck, Digital Foundry even did an analysis proving there is less input latency than an Xbox One locally. And last time I checked, there are “a few” people that play shooters on console. So go ahead and throw the time old argument that cloud gaming MUST be riddled with latency noticeable by everyone, etc. I was saying the same thing as you a year ago. I know what I know and I’m confident folks like you would be pleasantly surprised, like I was.
@EitherWayUp: Thanks for the cordial response and discussion, rare to see that on this platform :)
I mean, I can notice the latency penalty for FPS games even from in-home streaming using Moonlight, which is orders of magnitude faster at 2-3ms instead of 40ms for cloud on a gigabit connection - It's not like I haven't tried, I've been on the streaming train since 2019. I actually in-home stream games to my TV when I play more casual stuff.
It makes it quite unpleasant to make microadjustments when trying to aim, especially for click-timing movements (similar to 1w6ts). There's this sense that your cursor is never quite following your mouse, and that you have to lead your flicks. I was good enough to play in T3 CS / Valorant so I might be a bit more sensitive to it, but it's not a small difference at all.
There's also the bitrate / visual issue for geforce now, where the bitrate gets compressed from 16000mbps for 4k60 / 1080p240 over cable to a whopping 45mbps, with visible artifacting and banding whenever anything on the screen moves.
Again, this is somewhat noticable with Moonlight running at even 1080p 500mbps, so GeForce Now trying to press 45mbps for 4K (and 12mbps for 1080p) isn't great. You need a 1:10 to 1:20 compression ratio to remove artifacting with fast-moving images, which would require anywhere from 1600-800mbps instead of… 45mbps, which Nvidia can't do without destroying server hosting costs.
I don't doubt that GFN is at a state where it can match the Xbox One running stuff at 720p60 / 1080p30 in terms of responsiveness, and that's really impressive for how far we have come from Stadia and the first-gen cloud streaming platforms, but that's hardly a good standard for modern competitive games, or if you want higher visual fidelity like HDR. I can see it working for casual games where you wouldn't need to otherwise buy a expensive gaming PC.
@HPdeskjet: Maybe as I play less than I used to I don’t notice it as much. It was a good way for me to stay in the PC game without the expense that comes with it. My last PC started collecting dust after life got “busier” so I sold it. LianLi O11 case with the best cable management I ever pulled off and 9 sparkling RGB fans (because why not) was too pretty to be collecting dust so I made the decision to part ways.. didn’t loose too much on that investment and thought PS5 would suffice… then 6 months later I missed playing American Truck Simulator… judge away haha. So GFN was my solution to plug that gap. Fast forward, I’ve been buying steam games again exclusively to use via GFN. Sorry for the story, but I feel my situation might be the target market less so than for competitive users. And yes I was smug with the “get better internet” quote.. apologies.
Damn i just bought it at $2099 a few days ago.
Not the best 5080 card out there but its only 1-2% difference.
Why pay 500 more for 1% difference
You spent $2100 on a GPU…who are you people?
teal voters
I spent $1500 on A 3080 10GB 5 years ago…
I just built a whole new PC so wanted a new GPU to go with it, first build in 7 years
I have the money to buy a 5090 but never would, a 5070ti is a lot cheaper but i wanted the FPS for competitive games at 1440p & high single player frames at 4k.
I think the current prices are a rip off hence why i bought the cheapest 5080 possible.
All my personal opinion, there's no right or wrong answer
Yep its fair enough. I'm just a cranky old man. Still running a GTX1060. I cannot bring myself to pay over $1000 for a mid range card. Too old and too stubborn.
@Cor-blimey: I just put together an eGPU setup and couldn't stomach current prices either so I went with a used RTX 3080 off eBay, they're going for around $650 which seems relatively reasonable.
@Cor-blimey: i'm a cranky old man as well.. first time ever i spent over 1k on a GPU (9070XT) … :| i did sell my 6800XT for the same amount i bought it after nearly 3 years soooo really in my head i justified it as $600 (ignoring my initial purchase since that does count loll) …
@Cor-blimey: I had a GTX1080, upgraded 6800XT for around 550 (used). Used cards are pretty decent if you're on a budget and not upgrading the whole system assuming your current system won't severely bottleneck a decent mid range card.
@Cor-blimey: +1 for getting a used card or even find older models new sometimes if you dont mind importing. I was on a 1070 and wanted some more frames while i figured out the gpu pricing mess so I got a 5700xt off alixp for $250 and it was awesome until I upgraded
i spent 2400$ on a 3080 10GB ………..at the peak of that worst shortage year…..
i know probably can win stupidest person of the year……but hear me out……the result is now a real life girlfriend i have whom i met in game by having that gpu in the first place to be able to play a very demanding game!!!!! (i can explain everything !!!!)
just priorities, and timing man………ik ik………
@Hornpub: I'm jealous, What game and what server? I haven't found any Aussies or from Perth in the videogames I play
Right!? I spent ~$700 on a 4070 super last year which felt insane, not even for gaming either. Live content creation where it actually makes me money. Seeing this and $6k figures for 5090's is scary. Who's buying it?
@dav3: My 'job'/business creates content for other businesses. I specifically specialise in doing live broadcasts for my clients. Just because I don't sit in a boring office 9-5 Mon-Fri doesn't mean it's not a real job…. Not sure the insult was called for.
@vodamerc: I know exactly the job you mean that's awesome :) … ive had to do online preso/webinars which are either live or pre-recorded for "live" broadcast… definitely uncalled for as the guys i dealt with who do similar work like you were pretty damn good and talked just as much about tech as i do/did :) …
700$ on that card is insane good price…….
WiLl ThIs FiT iN mY oPtIpLeX 7050????
There’s always a way.
I sold my 4090 last year for $2500, so many regrets now…
😬
Oof
HODL this grift can't go on much longer. 5070 ti is 10% slower.
People been saying that since Covid…
It really depends on personal situation. Some have moved on with the new cards. Other are waiting for bigger Vram and/or more reasonable price. I am not rushing and clearing my pile of shame.
The issue is you could wait forever as theres always something new 'coming soon'… and the price of new always climbs
or buy now and enjoy it.
But your right in not rushing.
….. and if they end up releasing a Super series with 24GB in 18 months, the whinge will be "OMG why doesn't it have 32GB for that price?"
There is always a better GPU in the future. People would hold only when the product does not meet their expectation or they just don't need to upgrade. Expectation does not change that often. Most of us have a set target like run x game with y fps for z dollars and little extra room for future games, it is simple as that.
Dimensions are 303x125x49.7, it's an the upper end of what Nvidia considers SFF. The main concern in most cases being Length and Height (Thickness)
As usual please check your case specifications if it'll fit

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Seriously though, it is becoming increasingly hard to find cards to fit within SFF form factors unless they're specifically made as SFF variants.
Yeah, I kind of get Nvidia's decision to try and standardize "SFF" so case manufacturers design around it.
The problem is a handful of SFF (Sub 20L) cases still won't fit "SFF" cards.
It becomes a problem since we often think about what cases we want first instead of GPU design. Since cases may fulfill a specific function
Like an SFF with a carry handle, SFF in a fish tank design, Sandwich style cases, Console style cases etc…
A lot of people are buying cards just to realize their dream case they've been wanting to build in cannot fit their GPU.
Bought five
and you didn't even thank OP…
Your parents are going to be pissed when they see their credit card statement
16G at 2k$, nah nah nah.
I don't have a view on one or the other but throwing it out there as another option for those interested:
