Yep, can't do 12gb at this price myself. Surviving with 8gb at 1440p currently, but if and when I bother to upgrade it'll be 16gb or else 12gb at a much cheaper price point than $900
Understandable. I have to be careful because I still have a 1060 6GB, so anything looks like candy.
still on a 970 here…
@picket23 @TsundereGuy sames - still rocking a 1070 here, still doing the job just fine for the 10yr old games I stick to.
thinking when I can find a 2ndhand 4070 for around $400 I might pull the trigger
maybe the just released 9060 xt they are available for $629 with 16gb vram not the best value but if you compare it to the b580 which people were going crazy for this new card seems better value than that, that would be good if you want new or you could get a 6800xt 16gb used for $500 personally using a 6800xt and its a beast at anything unless you require ray tracing.
Just paid $592 for the 16GB 9060XT. Good enough price for me coming from a $400 6700XT.
@heef: true honestly don't get why 6700xt (use to own one) are like 400 on used market when you can get 6800 for like 400-450 and 6800xt closer to 500 and are like 25-40% faster, but you should feel a uplift coming from the 6700xt, personally going to stick to my 6800xt, only benefit i can see with buying the 9060xt is lower power draw and new features. 6800xt is even faster raw performance. anyone on 6700xt's should upgrade especially if they can sell for 400 just upgrade to a 6800xt 7800xt 7900gre you'll get an insane uplift in performance for only couple hundred bucks more.
@DENDEN321: second hand market is still insane, people trying to flog 3060 setups for $1500+
It's pretty hard to find a bargain.
@Captain Yobbo: yeh, true if you aren't willing build on your own it would be best to buy a prebuilt from techfast or nebula with the ozbargain listings (search gaming pc in the ozbargain search bar) but yeh overall pc market is quite expensive new and used, its hard to find a full setup as a bargain but individual parts such as the graphics card are much easier i went from a gtx 1080 ($200) and moved to a 6700xt i got for ($300) i could sell this 6700xt vs 350-400 if i choose to but gave it to my brother and bought a 6800xt which i got for $450, best part about buying used is that you can sell it for usually the same price you bought it for and you can even make a small profit. nvidia 40 series on used market is like the same price it was new last year.
@DENDEN321: The GPU aftermarket is a strange beast. Sounds like you got lucky, as someone else mentioned different areas = different prices. I got very lucky and landed a near new 7800XT + 7800X3D setup with a 32" AOC monitor for under 2k. It was a passion project for a father & son (quite well off - I saw the house!) and they had moved on to the next one. Right place, right time I guess.
@Captain Yobbo: yeh sometimes you get lucky but can also snipe them when good deal gets posted, also can usually negotiate a bit
Where are you seeing 6800 XT for $500?
Most of what I’m seeing is around $600-$650 or even higher for certain models.
@lordezekiel: Yeah I can't find any in Brisbane for less than $600-700. I think the reason the 6700XT holds its value is because it actually sold in decent numbers and more people know what it's capable of.
What about 16GB for $592.02 https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/909648 @ Around the RTX4060Ti Level performance
Yep good for those above commentators on even older stuff but not quite enough of a bump from a 3070. Close though for the price!! If my card died today I reckon I'd grab it.
Edit: oh it's pretty much on par with a 3070 besides vram, that's a bit disappointing. Techspot review summary makes the 9060xt look significantly faster but individual benchmarks show that's only if you let vram get exceeded. Ah well not bad for $600 but definitely not an upgrade from 3060ti/3070/4060ti performance.
According to TPU, this is almost 50% weaker overall, what’s with the obsession on VRAM?
@ramb9: Quite a number of games this year are using more than 8gb of vram when on max texture settings. I haven't deep dived into it but I'm not sure why review sites like TPU aren't highlighting it. But there's plenty of videos on youtube doing 8gb vs 16gb vram comparisons and it's not good at all.
eg: https://youtu.be/C0_4aCiORzE?si=i9iOw2_JFBvBcZf5
Not ideal now and doesn't bode well for the future either. With that being said, you can usually drop down to high from max/ultra textures and you probably wouldn't notice too much. But still.
@bert-lifts: The majority of people would never be able to tell the difference between ultra, high and medium textures. Especially if they are at 1080p or 1440p.
are you speculating that 12gb is not enough? Not enough for what exactly? 1440p gaming or 4k gaming?. I doubt this card can do 4k even it had 16gb.
Does anyone here actually have a 12gb gpu that can confirm they run out?
On NBA 2K25 and Cyberpunk at 1440p I max out my 12GB quite easily
12GB is cutting it fine but it should be enough for 1440P for the vast majority of current titles at max settings. I think the 5070 can do playable 4K with DLSS as well but probably not at max settings or RT. It's definitely more of a 1440P card and I think for that purpose, 12GB is adequate… at least for current titles.
The bigger issue is looking forward, 12GB may well prove to be insufficient. It's not like VRAM requirements will ever go down, so it's definitely better to have at least 16GB these days so you're not 'redlining' your VRAM with upcoming titles.
If history is anything to go by, the 5070 12GB in a few years will suffer a similar fate as what the 3070 8GB does today - still decent enough GPU horsepower but lacking in VRAM for modern titles.
@frugalpetey: I feel it would hold up well for the competitive online games I play, COD, iRacing and F1 etc
@YellingIntoTheVoid: You're probably right, it's not like the 3070 I replaced was VRAM limited for every title I played. But enough newer games were impacted to the point that I just had to pull the plug and upgrade to a higher VRAM card.
Just so you know F1 25 looks really good with path tracing but it's one of those features that are VRAM heavy ;)
There's a Zotac that can be had for the same price at Mwave too. It's also more suited for small form builds for whomever might be interested in that.
5070 price, 4090 performance
Kek
This is a very good deal! I ordered this last night. Made another account under a diff name and ordered my other pc parts. total was 2k ended up costing me just under 1800.
You saw a post with $100 discount so you spend $1800 to make a PC around it , you must be an elite ozbargainer !
I was looking at getting a Pre-built pc from nebula pc but when i can build my own pc with better quality parts its a bit smarter to fully use this deal?
Yep same 👍
The card is a crippled turd at 12gb. If you are spending that much go a little more for something that isnt so limited or waig till it crashes further in price.
Thats why people are just giving up and buying the RX9060XT 16GB for $592.02 https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/909648
Different tier of card though, as mentioned above the 9060 XT is basically a side grade for 3070/4060 Ti class owners, which honestly isn't great for $600 either.
The 5070 is clearly a step above, even with 12GB VRAM. I mean it wipes the floor with the 5060 Ti 16GB, which in turn is a faster card itself than the 9060 XT 16GB.
Honestly the midrange GPU scene is pretty grim if you're coming from a 3070 class card like I was. The 5070 is a somewhat compromised upgrade due to the VRAM but it's the 'cheapest' card that actually gives noticeable improvement upon previous gen midranges.
Ideally the 9070 16GB should be in the same price range but it's well over $1000 last I checked
@frugalpetey: I think that is really the point though, this card is a little bit in no-mans land. faster than 9060xt but crippled by memory for higher resolutions and for any real longevity. midrange is a horrible space at the moment, personally if I was in this market I would either holdout for something better if I could not afford a better card or go for something cheaper. 12GB should not be a thing in 2025 for anything midrange or above. If I had a 3070/4060ti then this card would be a definite no go as the upgrade is small versus the cost and longevity of the card.
@gromit: I mean I basically agree with you, $900 is a lot for a compromised upper mid range card like the 5070.
I just don't get the love for the 9060 XT at $600 like it's the second coming, it's basically a 3070/4060 Ti tier card with 16GB VRAM.
It's a pretty sad state of affairs that after 4 years I need to spend $1200+ to get a no compromise upgrade on my 3070. Which is actually what I did in the end FWIW, with an upgrade to a 5070 Ti
@frugalpetey: agreed, I think a lot of people are desperate for something and at least $600 is better than $900. the midrange line up is a compromise at the moment between price and performance, you can only have one of them being decent.
You are lucky, I could not find a 5070ti at a decent price so I went with a 9070xt, but no complaints with it either as it performs exceptially well.
No point in moving from a 4070 super for this right?
4070s is basically roughly equivalent performance so no, defintely not worth moving. wait for super which will hopefully have more memory or look at one of the higher SKU's
usually no point upgrading if you one generation behind, wait for the 6070 to be released.
This or 5060ti 16gb for $721 if i only play dota 2 and learning AI? currently using 3060ti 8gb :s
This RTX 5070 is about 30-40% better despite the VRAM shortage. I'm not sure what all the hate is for.
At this price, it's a no brainer for where this card sits price/performance.
https://www.techpowerup.com/review/asus-geforce-rtx-5060-ti-…
been doing some research and people say i need more VRAM to run LLMs and Stable Diffuser :s
5060 Ti 16GB is only ~20-30% faster than your current card (I also own the 3060 Ti) - I would suggest not bothering to update for gaming at all.
Are you currently having any actual issues with learning AI/running LLMs?
Don't upgrade for the sake of upgrading, your current card might be fine for now. If you're having crashes/it's severely impeding your learning, sure consider the jump, but don't swap just because '16 > 8' if it's not causing you major issues currently.
@ReaperX22: the other day i tried to generate a photo and upscale (x4) in stable disfuser it ran out of ram. not a big issue as i could just do the upscale separately. just thinking about getting a new card because there have been so many Graphics Card posts over the last 2 days :p
@ReaperX22: and the desktop isn't even my main computer. i use my macbook most of the time. the desktop is jut for playing dota 2 and running things in windows when i must (like stable diffusion - it's too slow on mac)
wtf did they make a 12GB 5070 for… * Insert "IT'S A TRAP" gif here *
Mwave went into administration…
Good post… waiting for it to get as low as the atl of the 4070 super which was around $750 late last year
