    Can we get a deal on the 1070 or 1080 if possible?

    • -2

      1080 FOUNDERS EDITION please.

    • +41

      Unfortunately, we can't do better deals than as listed at the moment.

      There is a shortage on most mid and some high end cards. Blame bitcoin! The RX 570s were the 1st to get hammered at the same time that bitcoins price spiked a few weeks ago, and since then other mid to high end cards are getting scarce. Some disties are blaming bitcoin, though i don't know personally where that extra demand has come from. There is always extra demand this time of year and perhaps they just got caught short.

      Lucky for us we keep a lot in stock!

      We have sold some mid range cards via the ebay deal, but I believe most are gone. We have reserved a modest number to insure no interruption to our systems builds.

      Good news on the 1080TI is we bought a large batch and can do a very good price.

      We recently set up this eBay store, and have a fair chunk of our usual stock listed. We do not increase prices for ebay deals and we have the same prices on ebay as the shop so are very competitive.

      We have had some questions about why we list stock available on some products at www.computeralliance.com.au but not ebay. The simple answer is, we retain some stock for our usual store sales and build requirements that can't be listed on ebay, but as new stock comes in and stock levels are lifted about our buffer requirements, the items are automatically relisted on ebay…. but don't hold your breath for relisting video cards during this deal. The odd one might go back up but since volume is not available at the moment for most models, well, not ideal.

      • +3

        It would be a combination of BTC and ETH.

        BTC is more CPU intensive while ETH is GPU based mining. So most of the RX cards are going towards ETH mining.

        • +4

          Mostly ethereum I think - it's now unprofitable to mine Bitcoin on anything other than an ASIC (sort of a special chip designed specially for Bitcoin mining), although the design of ethereum means it's very very difficult to design a similar chip for that.

          That being said there is a new ethereum update that is making mining on nvidia gpus more viable so that could be why.

        • -4

          @imsimone: nothing to do with design of ethereum. they just use sha-256 encryption which doesnt give ASICs an advantage

          something litecoin and every other copycurrency uses except bitcoin

        • I'm interested in bitcoin mining. Is there any beginner tutorial where I can read? I got a few mid spec PC sitting around doing nothing, might as well use them for mining.

          Thank

        • +5

          Given electricity prices in Australia, you can pretty much forget any coin mining.

          The easiest way to start is https://www.nicehash.com, they have Windows app which will automatically mine the most profitable coin and you will earn in bitcoins.

          On 1080, it works out about $6 per day. 1080ti would be about $9 per day. The main issue is electricity. Your mid-range computer mining would draw about 300 watts which would be about 648 kWh extra on your quarterly electricity bill. That's about $100 extra. In other words, if you have mid-range computer generating $3 per day, you are pretty much going to spend about the same amount on electricity bill. Not worth it.

        • @lubos:

          "mikeangelo 18 hours 41 min ago
          beat me to it.. For example if mining Eth
          1 x 1080ti = 31.8 MH/s
          10 x 1080ti = 318 MH/S = 0.1803 per day, 1.26 per week, 5.41 per mth
          1 ETH = AUD 515.88"

          Is that incorrect? Surely it can't cost anywhere near $2500 to mine with a multicard rig?

        • +2

          @Smol Cat: Yeah, 10x1080ti could easily mine $2,500 worth of coins at today's prices and difficulty… however, if everybody is doing this (and everybody is in fact doing this), difficulty to mine them will keep increasing. Don't be surprised if 2-3 months from now, the same cards would barely generate $1,500 per month or less. Not to mention, both Nvidia and AMD are working on new GPU cards specifically for mining. That will make current GPU cards unprofitable.

          It's just too risky. The only way to get ahead is if demand (thus prices) for ETH will keep rising with the number of miners jumping in. But if that's the case, you might as well buy $10,000 worth of ETH at today's prices and sell at profit later rather than building $10,000 rig which will become unprofitable in Australia sooner than in any other country due to electricity prices.

          @lubos: "It's just too risky. The only way to get ahead is if demand (thus prices) for ETH will keep rising with the number of miners jumping in.

          Hmm that is a very good point too. If mining is never profitable, why are so many people getting into it? Or do you mean it isn't profitable in Australia only? (Do we really have some of the most expensive electricity in the world?!)

          Say you build the rig, couldn't someone like this be used to mine for years to come, even switching to different coins? Or are you saying that the difficulty is rising so fast that what you build today will soon be obsolete within 6 months?

        • +3

          @Smol Cat: It will be the same thing that has happened to Bitcoin miners who were making massive investments into GPU rigs a few years ago. Then ASIC miners came along and GPU became unprofitable basically overnight. Today nobody is using GPU to directly mine bitcoins. This is how other coins became so popular because they were designed to be ASIC resistant (e.g. ETH). So when AMD and Nvidia releases mining cards, difficulty will rise very quickly and general-purpose GPUs will be once again useless for mining - this time for good.

          Why people buy general-purpose GPUs today? They are speculating the GPUs they are buying today will pay for themselves before mining cards hit the market. If you are on very cheap electricity, you can break-even within 3 months. In Australia, due to electricity prices, give it 6 months or longer. Yes, we do have the most expensive electricity in the world. See: https://www.macrobusiness.com.au/2017/06/straya-takes-gold-i…

        • @lubos: Thanks for the very detailed replies, I have done some research into the matter but there seems to be a lot of conflicting information out there and never Australia specific. I will hold off from building a GPU rig for now then. At least until the new GPU mining specific cards come out. Do you mine yourself? I'm currently dabbling in BURST mining. Seems to be low cost of entry so far.

      • +2

        Just a small correction, RX 570/580 are sold out world wide due to Ethereum, not Bitcoin. Similar, but not the same. Graphics cards haven't been economic for bitcoin mining since about late 2013, when ASIC based mining took over. CPU mining was last profitable for bitcoins sometime in 2011.

      • Feels like whenever I have enough to upgrade my video card they go out of stock :(

      • +4

        Generally when people say the shortage is due to "bitcoin" they are using it as an umbrella term for all crypto currencies rather than just bitcoin specifically.

          it hashes the same as a R9 290…

          better off using 3x 1060 for same price. 1060 hashes 22mh/s 1080 is 31 mh/s

        • +2

          @scrimshaw: I don't understand how long this arms race for ETH can last, especially how all physical mining rigs will be obsolete the minute ETH shifts to Proof of Stake mining. Which is expected to come within the year.

        • +1

          @Smol Cat: this is even more reason why the rush at the moment to snap up all the cards. when it goes POS, plebs like us wont be able to profit so we are profiting now as much as we can.

        • @dabell:

          Agree. I have quite a few 1060's ;)

          That 31 mh/s i believe is stock, curious how it would go with some tuning.

        • @Smol Cat:

          Well, technology just moves that fast, and the future is hard to predict.

          Nvidia is no doubt looking to make some profits out of it even though it might be a short term thing. However, most of the people who are mining will be the Chinese Bitcoin miners… they've changed jobs from farming agriculture and selling mass produced goods to mining crypto currency. A strange world we live in.

          In any case, there will be an end to eth farming. I think the memory requirements steadily increase over time so the prediction is that 4GB cards will no longer work in 2019 and you'll be forced to change to a new card, or add more memory somehow into your system.

        • +2

          @Smol Cat: When ETh goes POS, you can still mine Zcash with the equipment. currently almost as profitable as eth.

        • @dabell: (profanity) you're right. I was just thinking about what else you could switch to once ETH is PoS. This actually could be a good investment. Drop about 10K into a mining rig now and reap the returns.

          The total gpu hashrate is doubling very 4 weeks. They'll be earning half the rate in 4 weeks and 1/4 of that 8 weeks from now. Unless you see ETH being $1500USD in 8 weeks time for things to remain consistent. Things can't grow exponentially forever

        • +2

          @Smol Cat:

          Bitcoin has a 'market cap' of $45 billion. ETH has a 'market cap' of $35 billion. For this to keep up, that market cap would have to hit $70 billion in 4weeks time, $140 billion in 8 weeks… would cross a $1 trillon valuation in 20 weeks time, more than the company Apple.

          With all the backordered gpu power being assigned in the upcoming few weeks, i can easily see how gpu power will continue with its exponential rise in that timeframe.

          It's a race to the bottom, same as the bitcoin mining craze. The task (mining) has no difficult barriers to entry, and the software behind it should be easily replicable by any other parties.

          Fun times ahead. Everyone's a genius in a boom, so will be interesting to see how it all looks in hindsight :)

    • +4

      We do get a lot of small resellers buying out stock. It is a bit annoying as I do prefer the best deals to be available to a wider group.

      In this case, should not be a issue in the short term, tons of stock available. Not going to promise they will last till the end of the ebay deal though!

      • Why don't you limit sales to 1 or 2 per person then?

        • +1

          get out of here with your logic!

        • I'm sure resellers would then just get everyone in their store to buy 2 and reimburse them.

        • +2

          tougher than you would think. I was just looking at a order where someone did the 3 x orders to max out the discount, then used other account to make more orders in a different name, same address. Taking a very close look at those (wasn't for 1080tis).

          eBay does not make it easy to set buy limits. We do exactly that on our own web site and are trying a bit of a workaround on ebay for some items, but there seem no clean way to do it. maybe I'm missing someone, but its on our list as we refine the store.

          Great card. Still plays Battlefield 3 well. Recently tried Arkham City and it just couldn't do it in later stages of the game.

          I miss gaming so much!

          EDIT: Checked some old emails and it's a Gigabyte GeForce GTX580. Wow. You must've got a dud!

          I must have been so lucky with the build. The reason I haven't upgraded (other than getting a Dell U2715HM monitor) is because nothing has faltered. Been my daily PC for 6 or 7 years.

          If something had died, I would have upgraded. Still going strong.

        • LOL GTX 580, what a beast! Still plays most games nicely at 1080p 7 years later!

        • +1

          That's very true, I won't argue with that lol.

          But if the discount is split between the retailer and ebay, it's understandable that they wouldn't want to lose out too much margin with pricing.

    • +4

      It was changed to $429 on the 6th of June and was changed to $469 on the 15th of June, four days before this deal started. Are you sure the $429 price wasn't just a limited-time special?

    • +5

      Had nothing to do with this deal, you will probably find the prices stay up after. Shortage = sourcing cards costs more.

      You might note we actually dropped the price on this 1080ti card, because out cost dropped with a new purchase.

          I'm a bit surprised how noncompetitive a lot of sellers on ebay are. Think some just take advantage when people assume prices there are good and are more comfortable buying through the interface. I'm sure our presence will change that for the IT range.

          @Computer Alliance:
          I think cash is always better than having stock sitting your warehouse not being sold (assuming you don't then let the cash sit around doing nothing).

          Hopefully you guys will grow big enough to buy larger amounts of stock and saturate and/or take a larger chunk of the local market, undercutting the other resellers and taking away their potential sales.

        • @Computer Alliance: totally agreed. Bought complete parts from CA yesterday. Dont know about the price hike but the prices were really good.
          Cheers.

        People here are very quick to accuse stores of price jacking, without proper evidence.

      I suggest everyone who has a RX 470 and RX 480 sell their cards if they are not using them to mine ETH. You could even put it up on ebay for more money than you paid for it and believe it will sell.
