    Do you definitely get Gears of War 4, being an import from US to Aus?
    A bunch of people in the reviews saying they didn't get a code with the card, even those in the US apparently.

    Great deal otherwise lyl!

    • lyl on 25/10/2016 - 17:44

      Thanks, googled it, and found two articles:
      http://www.itechpost.com/articles/35659/20161003/gears-war-4…
      http://www.thecountrycaller.com/49210-heres-why-your-gears-o…

      Apparently there was a 'glitch' where Amazon sent the codes upon purchase, so many exploited by ordering it to receive the code and then cancelling their order, resulting in Amazon being now removed from the promotion.

      • konakona on 25/10/2016 - 17:50

        It only seems to indicate that Amazon no longer sends out the code automatically, but there shouldn't be anything stopping you from directly registering your card with EVGA and claiming a code that way (or by manually contacting them and showing proof of purchase)?

        • theguyrules on 25/10/2016 - 17:52

          Bit of a gamble but worth a try if ordering one anyway!

        • lyl on 25/10/2016 - 17:58

          Hmmm have kept the link up, hopefully there's still a way to get it.

          EDIT: Just found that in a previous ozbargain deal that they didn't receive a code, and some were able to get a $61 USD refund after persistently contacting amazon support

          @lyl: I fall into that category. Bought it during the last deal and after heaps of discussion with Amazon they agreed to refund me after I placed an order for Gears of War.

        • nerdbasher on 26/10/2016 - 13:52

          @lyl: Amazon have a customer service policy in which if one representative tells you you'll be able to get something all subsequent representatives you contact must honour that initial promise, which can become incredibly beneficial in this sort of situation

        • This Void on 26/10/2016 - 16:08

          EVGA will not give you a code, they told me to chase Amazon for the code. Nice company.

      You do NOT get GOW4. I recently got a GTX 1070 from Amazon, and when I tried to register it with EVGA it was knocked back

      You will not get the game. I have asked Amazon and here is the reply:
      Hello,

      I do apologize, but we currently aren't offering this promotion through Amazon.com. If you'd like, you can contact the manufacturer directly to inquire if Amazon.com orders count, or what you'll have to do in order to qualify for their promotion. They can be reached at 1 (800) 797-6530. I'm sorry we don't have further information on the promotion NVIDIA is offering.

      I hope this helps. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

      We'd appreciate your feedback. Please use the links below to tell us about your experience today.

    I know it's EVGA and they have great customer service, but be aware of the recent cooling issues where the cooler of these cards aren't making contact with the GPU. Would link the guru3d post but I'm on mobile.

    • King Steuart on 25/10/2016 - 17:44

      Rocket Chainsaw have it covered and there's a link to get the free thermal pads sent out.

      I've already got some heading my way for my 1080 FTW. free shipping to Australia.

      • Unseatingcargo1 on 25/10/2016 - 17:52

        Thanks for linking that. Great price regardless of Gears not being included.

      • TheContact on 25/10/2016 - 18:12

        It says there's a problem with their custom cards, does the SC/ACX count? It's reference PCB with a custom cooler. If it does, then it should be noted that the Black edition doesn't have a backplate and thus the thermal pad solution as described is useless.

        • King Steuart on 25/10/2016 - 19:46

          If you register your 1070 or 1080 with EVGA on their website then you can check if your card is eligible for the free thermal pads. You can only order them if you have a registered card that it applies for

      • ChillBro on 25/10/2016 - 18:13

        Considered doing that but will the installation void the warranty? If so it might be best to wait until it dies naturally.

        • fleetfeather on 25/10/2016 - 20:47
          +1

          does not void warranty. EVGA warranty is quite relaxed

        EVGA GTX 1070/1080 Overheating Issues - Company Says Thermal Pads A Solution.

        Was looking at getting this card. Would have expected better from EVGA than to just offer a band aid solution and expect the end user to fix it themself. Still rather not have to deal with this issue and just buy another brand that was designed correctly in the first place

        • Butt Scratcher on 25/10/2016 - 19:45

          That only applies to ftw cards and mostly or only 1080 I believe. EVGA is known for their customer service, but not so much with their gpu design. If you want great cooling, msi is usually a safe option.

          But apparently there is a problem with vrm voltage on 1070 cards with micron memory, so it might be a good idea to read it up once or if you get a 1070 because it can be fixed with a bios update from the respective vendor

        • g12345567 on 26/10/2016 - 12:43

          @Hunga:

          That as well. Two problems, doesn't look good for 1070 cards

        • Butt Scratcher on 26/10/2016 - 18:40

          @g12345567: Again, it's only the FTW cards since it has a custom pcb and EVGA messed up the vrm design. All the other 1070's including this one (which has a reference pcb) is fine.

      • macca on 26/10/2016 - 12:03

        My 1070 SC (non black edition) is eligible for the pads on their support website so must affect these cards as well?

  • MilkDrinker on 25/10/2016 - 18:15

    Its about the same price on newegg and you DO get the game on there. But if you want to go through the hassle of contacting amazon support then amazon is the way to go for the pure refund.

    • lyl on 25/10/2016 - 18:22

        Yeah, I changed it to australian currency and it came to around $554 AUD. Even with the small cashrewards thats about $20 extra

  • rodinthink on 25/10/2016 - 18:26

    I remember almost like couple years ago that I bought the MSI GTX 970 from 20$ off ebay , with the bonus of Witcher 3 Game Code GOG From NVIDIA + Got 10% off from TRS, and that time there's a VPN pre-order bargain Witcher III expansion (Touissant + Hearthstone) for around $US 15. Ahh What a time to be alive

        +1

        %. sorry the % and $ placed closely together.
        Also $20 off for 970 doesnt make that much difference

        • MilkDrinker on 25/10/2016 - 18:50

          I also did that, good times, though gigabyte didnt want to honour my purchase because I was one day early, had to return it and buy a "new" one to get the free game. PCCG had a great 7 day no reason return policy on ebay.

  • noise36 on 25/10/2016 - 18:39

    I have this, great card and international warranty.

    It wont come with a GOW4 key so I suggest checking the other sellers like B&H, newegg, etc who still give out keys if you want the game.

    I managed to get a key from EVGA directly but it took some hassling via their support.

  • Kronak on 25/10/2016 - 19:31

    Is there any particular reason why Australian retailers aren't stocking a lot of the EVGA graphics cards specifically the EVGA GTX 1060 SSC version? I've been looking around for this card, but it seems like the SC is the only one available.

    • educalifa on 25/10/2016 - 22:24

      'Cause EVGA offers international warranty so not many ppl choose to pay more for the same thing they can get online for a lot less.

    • fleetfeather on 25/10/2016 - 23:06

      Probably because EVGA has no less than 11 variants of GTX 1070s available… if PCCG stocked all 11 of them, EVGA designs would account for nearly half of the available cards that the stock

      EVGA's SKUs are actually getting a bit out of hand these days

        Yeah it came back for a short moment and I just got my order in. Showing as $461.09 now. When I ordered it, it said it will be in stock on the 30th… hopefully I will still be able to claim Gears Of War 4 since it will still be in the promotion window.

        • WorkingLowJam on 26/10/2016 - 16:55

    The Black Edition - for those that do not know - is actually just the EVGA GTX 1070 SC ACX 3.0 without a backplate. Yes that's right, black edition just means no backplate.

    • Mixhael on 26/10/2016 - 04:44

      Is it nicer with or without the backplate?

      • Diji1 on 26/10/2016 - 12:34
        +1

        Card bends a little bit if it has no backplate. Doesn't hurt the card but it doesn't look good aesthetically.

    • Spazmos on 26/10/2016 - 11:27

      thanks, I was wondering what the difference is. Is there any advantage for not having a backplate?

      • Diji1 on 26/10/2016 - 12:36

    Ok took the plunge. Sold my 290 awhile back for 300 and was waiting for the 490 to be released but considering the stupid prices on the 480 currently I won't regret going for a Nvidia. Shame I really do want to support AMD but the pricing is just stupid at the moment. Considering this is 100 bucks less than what any decent aussie shop sells for and with EVGA's great warranty I was sold.

  • Ffejmania on 26/10/2016 - 17:38

  • Dienk on 26/10/2016 - 21:57

    Just be careful with EVGA (great branch I know). The lastest 1070 and 1080 are not perfect. Seems they did not put anything to cool the memory. Some information is here:
