Shipping ~$20 to Sydney.
GALAXY is the old brand. This is new international branding.

That mint 5am GTX 1080 dream that I was looking for one, go on computer to search and Tada!

Merge of Galaxy and KFA2 brand names

Galax, a company name made by combining Galaxy and KFA2

Already bought my EVGA ACX 3.0 on Amazon so thought I would share with my dear friends on Ozbargains as I don't need it also this one is in Melbourne(check my other posts for Amazon deal)

Can you believe it? Another GTX 1080 on promo! Also apparently Harvey Norman sells Graphics Cards now? Anything that makes money I guess.

If your searching for local stock of GTX 1080 in Melbourne this is cheapest by $42(Next is $819) and I've seen it recently apart from Amazon US or MSY EOL clearance stock.
Free game is deal maker.

Full disclosure I got a free tshirt from these guys once at PAX convention :P
It is $777 for good luck if you can seriously believe that.

Purchase between January 31st & March 28th to receive a free copy of For Honor or Ghost Recon: Wildlands (Details Here)

Not many reviews online but plenty on the HOF(Hall of Fame) edition
Only drawback is they have 2 year warranty only as compared to 3 at EVGA/others and fans never turn off which I though was a feature but not apparently to this guy below.
For reviews:
This guy claims it was his best Overclocker, but that's the 'silicon lottery' I guess: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5M0mkGA2zQ8

    $777 I mean really, it's bizzare pricing that reaks of desperation. I picked up a Fury X for peanuts, (mid $300) with drivers that keep improving as the card ages. It once retailed for $979 in 2015. That drop in price for early adopters is not depreciation, it's theft!

      Its called market/price skimming to pay for costs of RND(research and development) and make extra profit.

      Price skimming is a product pricing strategy by which a firm charges the highest initial price that customers will pay. As the demand of the first customers is satisfied, the firm lowers the price to attract another, more price-sensitive segment.

      Nvidia kind of have high end cards in a stranglehold. The drop for these 1080's has been gradual from around 1k at release this is true. It was only scalpers on Amazon buying out all stock that ruined it for everyone. That's why Amazon impose order limits. AMD hasn't been able to compete in the last few years in high end and only have solutions equivalent to last gen tech for budget sector but I am excited for AMD Vega and the new Ryzen CPU's which they hope to blow our minds with 10nm and Intel Cannonlake with 10nm as well.

      This is the cheapest price on staticice.com.au comparison website by $42 which is more than 5% for the GTX 1080 cards. Also its an OC edition.

        Why is this controversial? This is prevalent in a lot of tech look at DJI Phantom 3 's for example. Free market economy…

          They used to market that in Europe I hadn't heard of it either. Similar to Sager/Metabox/Clevo branding for laptops.

    OP I keep clicking the "(Details Here)" and nothing happens! My fingers are now bloody stubs. Maybe I'm not clicking hard enough? Will keep trying. Please advise…

  • SaveMeDollars on 20/02/2017 - 08:49

    For local warranty seems like a decent deal but considering the Ti's are around the corner I would recommend waiting to see where the prices go for all the 1080's unless you need a GPU straight away.

    • [Deactivated] on 20/02/2017 - 09:00

      Rumor mill going crazy saying Late March so at least few months before the price skimming madness ends. Hoping Vega offers some decent competition on 10nm process this time around.

      "The current rumored specs on the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti see NVIDIA using the same 12GB of GDDR5X at 10Gbps, on a 384-bit memory bus that would provide 480GB/sec of memory bandwidth - the same configuration and specs of the Titan X, which costs $1199. NVIDIA's GP102 will power the GTX 1080 Ti, with 3328 CUDA cores, 1.6GHz GPU boost clock, and a modest 250W TDP. The biggest thing is going to be the price, and I think we should see something like $899 from the GTX 1080 Ti, with partner cards hitting $999 or so. Expensive, but you pay to have the best, right?"

        Latest rumour is nVidia has a launch event on the 28th of Feb

        • [Deactivated] on 20/02/2017 - 09:39

          I don't put much faith in any rumours as they all conflict with each other. Just written to garner a lot of views=more advertising revenue. Yeah the price of shipping and the fact I already bought one from EVGA in my other deal meant I didn't need one and I don't really want either game. My source article is from the 16th too.

      So you like Asus Strix and EVGA FTW?
      Check my other deal for the EVGA FTW.

        i only like Asus Strix ;]

        • [Deactivated] on 20/02/2017 - 11:09

          From review linked above:
          Looking at the benchmarks for the out of the box settings for the 1080 EXOC, it performed roughly on par, but slightly less, than what I got with my ASUS Strix 1080. The difference in megahertz between those two cards resulted in anywhere from a 1 to 5 FPS difference in all of the games that I tested. The 1080 EXOC is definitely a formidable 4K card, just like it’s other GTX 1080 bretheren.

          However this guy lucked out or the quality is underrated and did overclock better with the Galax.

  • ThresholdAU on 20/02/2017 - 11:24

    I'm not sure on Nvidia's pricing model but with the 1080ti only a month away, should we expect a discount next month?

    Since they won't be the top card, if the price difference to TI isn't much of a leap , I assume they will want to price these down?

    I guess they could always price the 1080TI stupidly high and keep the 1080 price..
    Prob should just wait and see anyway :)

    • [Deactivated] on 20/02/2017 - 11:38

      Yeah we don't even know the specs for sure.
      Pricing is at best educated estimations from specs that are yet to be finalised.
      Usually they will price stupidly high for first few months, also scalpers will pounce depleting stock and driving price above RRP. That's what happened last time GTX 1080.

        I'm not in a hurry.

        Going to hope they dip below $600 by April so I can snatch up a few for my guest pcs.
        Otherwise i'll be buying 1070s.

    I've had the GTX 1070 EX OC (Same cooler design) for ~12 months now and love it. It performs just as well if not better than the more expensive ASUS, EVGA, MSI etc.

    The cooler is quiet as a mouse even under full load and the RGB Geforce GTX symbol is an awesome touch.

    Finally some decent prices for a 1080. Shame nobody tells those dreamers on Gumtree selling secondhand 980s/1080s for $800-$900.

    • [Deactivated] on 21/02/2017 - 00:09

      Haha wouldn't touch those with a ten foot pole.

    awesome deal…. BUT I WANT an awesome deal on a GTX 1060 or RX 480.
