First time posting here, go easy on me 😅
Looks like a solid deal on a Gigabyte 5070 — there’s an extra $30 off if you pay via bank transfer.
Brings it down to $849 delivered.
Currently cheaper than Palit and PNY.
Surcharge: 0% Bank Transfer, 0% Hello Clever, 1.38% credit/debit card, 4.52% Afterpay.
Cbf to gather the dragon balls again…
Free standard shipping or $50(!!) for express. Make it make sense.
I’m on the market for a 5070 or better yet 5070Ti but hard to justify the prices still…my wallet is still burning after my RAM purchase…
Free shipping is free, express has a surcharge. Likely associated to manual handling versus a workflow. It's logical.
Also don't expect price drops on the TI cards given the super is not tipped to release this year and there have been reported supply issues already.
Unsure where that leaves the 5070 but it's a good price regardless.
It's not logical at all. They will have a workflow for both standard and express shipping. Will not change anything about their process and will be automated for shipping costs and label printing. Makes no difference to them, just a way for them to make bank on express shipping option.
Except express shipping costs extra, requires you to handle the product sooner and likely outside regularly scheduled behaviour. You make alot of assumptions.
@misunderstood98: It's just postage, dude. Not many businesses offer any higher priority for dispatch, only for the actual shipping…the label that goes on the box…
@misunderstood98: Express shipping costs extra correct. Not that much extra. Doesn't require them to handle the product sooner at all, just express shipping. They aren't coming into work at 5am to get express orders packed, they are just following the same process as standard deliveries and putting an express label on instead of standard. That's how ecommerce works, I run an ecommerce shop.
@Ilikecars: If you own an e-commerce shop, you would have made the choice as to whether you treat express posts as express and arrange drops for processing by 4pm or whether to just raise the pickup order and leave it to the post office to potentially pick up on time. If radium have taken the lazy route then yeah, the increase isn't justified, but we don't work inside their business to confirm.
Also pickup costs with Aust post are an extra $15 on top of the express post box cost which is around $25-35 anyways… So $50 is basically passing over the full cost.
@misunderstood98: Brother, any shop that gets a volume of orders has scheduled pickups that handle both standard and express posts, they don't manually drop them to the post office. For Australia post, there is no difference in cost for them to collect standard or express post. Yes it costs $15 per pickup and they collect it all. $15 is nothing for a daily pickup. Additionally, that is just Australia Post. High volume shops use Startrack, or a myriad of other courier options. The only change to anyone process is the label. Sure, maybe some places have some system that puts an express order to the top of their pick/packing list, but that is not additional work, just jumping the queue, and even then, that is a HUGE rarity. Express post for almost all businesses I've seen are exactly that, EXPRESS POST. It means, once the courier/postage company has the order, it will process quicker, but makes no difference for the handling on the companies side.
@Ilikecars: Well when I ran a brick&mortar it was mostly in-store sales with local drivers for anything bulky, not bulk dispatch on smaller items, so we most certainly charged the fees. Given what you've said I'm inclined to agree and would be interested to hear the justification from Radium in that case.
Edit: AI estimates them as a 2-10 person business focused mostly on building machines for shipping. It mentions people reporting delays on builds and notes practices they have on their listing of most parts being "sold out", suggesting that they are predominantly a pc building company. Given that, I could imagine they aren't as automated or regular as other ecomm stores in terms of shipping volumes - likely meaning they may not have the same pickup frequency as a pure high volume/ small package ecomm business. Just a thought.
Might be worth double checking as well, but I think Nvidia are also running a promo to get Pragmata for free if you get a 5070. I haven't read the Ts & Cs so not sure if there's anything specific to it, but could also include a free game
OP will need to confirm they have bundle codes
The codes come from Gigabyte directly, you have to fill out the form on their website with serial number and proof of purchase.
https://www.aorus.com/en-au/explore/events/pragmata-rtx50-bu…
Actually NVIDIA have their own promotion which supplies codes to retailers:
https://www.nvidia.com/en-au/geforce/campaigns/pragmata-bund…
Interestingly, the gigabyte dates run longer than the NVIDIA dates.
@misunderstood98: NVIDIA gives the codes to the AIBs like Gigabyte, then you get the codes from the AIB. Retailers don't get the codes.
The following terms and conditions are applicable only for APAC region redemption
In order to make a valid redemption, the customer must fill out the request form and upload a clear picture of the purchase invoice, with the invoice date falling within the promotion campaign period. The pick-up date is not considered when redeeming the game code.
The picture of the purchase invoice must clearly specify the store of purchase, product model name, product price, invoice number, and purchase date. If the picture of the purchase invoice is not clear enough, GIGABYTE may reject the customer’s redemption at its sole discretion.
After completing the registration procedure and receiving confirmation of successful registration from GIGABYTE, you will acquire the right to receive the appropriate game code. GIGABYTE will send the game code to you via e-mail within 7-10 working days from the official validation of the claim.
@misunderstood98: From the same promo at mwave -
https://www.mwave.com.au/product/gigabyte-geforce-rtx-5070-e…
Get PRAGMATA with select GeForce RTX 50 Series
Starts: 14/04/2026 11:00 PM AEST
Ends: 19/05/2026 4:59 PM AEST
Redemption Ends: 10/06/2026 4:59 PM AESTRedemption instructions available here.
Codes are redeemed through respective manufacturer and NVIDIA, Mwave does not send out codes for this promotion.
@in this economy: It appears that retailers can participate or push it back to the supplier, in mwaves case they are deferring.
Apparently some people have even automatically received it in their email after the order was fulfilled
Can confirm i got this game thru msi and nvidia, Good game
Oh god I think I might have to actually get a new GPU now lol
Op do this to see if you get free game
https://www.nvidia.com/en-au/geforce/campaigns/pragmata-bund…
it's advertised on the page, surely that would mean it' spart of the pragmata deal?
Bit clueless here, I thought we were avoiding sub 16gb vram cards now, no?
That’s my trouble. The disparity in price between this and the Ti is fairly big but I feel like I need the extra VRAM for MSFS2024.
With the ramageddon, presumably developers are going to be forced to start pulling their fingers out and optimising games better
9060xt 16gb sub 500…
new prompt: make it take up less ram. don't make any mistakes, and don't lose me any money
Crimson Desert max settings at 1440p is using 6.5GB VRAM on my 5070. I think there will be very few circumstances that the 12gb will be an issue, at least at 1440p where this card excels.
Okey
But next week the 4k Alienware OLED will be 70% off and you'll be stuck wanting a GPU that does 4k without a hitch
Go big or go home
Damn! This model won't fit in my tiny ass Intel NUC case, and for some reason this Gigabyte model requires a 750w PSU compared to other models normally being 650w, OC edition I guess. Holding off for a smaller/cheaper Palit or Galax model.
They've labelled it based on Nvidia's SFF standard which is a bit of a joke, allowing cards 30cm long and 2.5 slots thick, but kind of inevitable when SFF goes from a niche to something more widely marketed. Funny thing is your relatively bigarse NUC (vs the original NUC form factor) is itself a product of the same phenomenon.
Good price. I just sold my 5070 and bought 5070ti because of vram.
Discount for bank transfer?
What in the ACCC is this?
What exactly do you think is wrong here? It's completely legal to offer a cheaper option for bank transfer.
Multiple big companies are doing this to save us customers the fees that everyone hates there is no way a company won't honour the bank transfer with the invoice number attached to the transaction lol
It's exactly the same as offering less if you don't pay on credit cards to avoid fees
I tend to agree this has potential scam written all over it.
1000 people clicked the deal.
Discouraging express means the deal can stay live longer before people get us.
Given they have thousands of customers who've had high-end PCs built by them with the biggest issue being delivery timeframes, I'd say the purchase of a sub 1k card is safe.
Edit: search radium in the search bar, you'll see the volumes they process via OzB without reported issues.
Hey,
No scam at all, bank transfer is also super common for small-medium businesses with invoices. We've offered it as a running promotion all month. there is still the option for CC as well.
Any chargeback option for bank transfer? I’m guessing not.
This is good price yeah!!
For brand new on the market atm yeah
BUT I just snagged one from Marketplace for $700 tested on pick up no issues receipt provided too.
If I am paying this amount of money i will go for zotac triple fan version which will have 5 years warranty
Given 9070XT’s have been selling around this price lately, I’m struggling to see the deal. There’s around 25% more performance in most circumstances.
Nvidia dominates gaming GPU market with 95 percent share as sales of AMD Radeon graphics plummet to a historical low of 5 percent,
I wish everyone go to get 9070xt instead of 5070, so 5070 can drop further.
Yeah it feels real bad to get a 12GB card with 25% less raw performance for the same price. NVIDIA's frame gen and RT is much better, but I can't see how it's good enough to make the 5070 a better purchase at current 9070XT prices.
Great deal. Will come back in 2039 to see your second deal.
