This is like cutting it really really close to being charged the 10% for importing fees.
Deal will last until our currency takes a slight hit and we gotta pay that extra hundred dollars.

This is the gtx 1080ti, not the origibal gtx1080 which is 30% slower.
Everywhere in Aus listing it for $1200+ with unknown ETA's. EVGA offers an international warranty meaning you can basically buy it anywhere in the world and they'll still cover for it unlike other brands.
You will only see great things in regards to their customer service and RMA's with their step up program etc.

I needed a new card now now since mine busted and this is the best I could find in regards to value and performance for the 1080ti's, sure the founders edition are cheaper by $50-100, but I'd rather pay the extra for cooling and peace of mind from EVGA.

Update:
Price has dropped from $USD739+15 to $USD729+15 shipping, I don't think Amazon would apply it automatically because it's not a preorder but you should either:
1. Cancel and reorder or,
2. Message them to refund the difference since it hasn't been shipped yet.

Consider this link too from amazon UK if you don't mind the 1 month wait and save about $20-50 depending on what you pick.

    Most custom fan 1080ti's need 2.5 PCI-e slots. These EVGA's only require 2 slot. Pretty good.

  • johnno07 on 07/07/2017 - 15:55

    Great price for an EVGA card! I'm personally holding off the the Volta-based 20 series due in the next couple of months

      Nice to meet you, personally holding off the the Volta-based 20 series due in the next couple of months. I'm iforgotmysocks

      • Kiato on 07/07/2017 - 16:54

        Volta will not be released in a few months. I doubt you will see any information about it until the start of next year. With the current shortage of HBM memory and AMD sitting on a priority quota fill contract nvidia will not be able to mass produce their volta for some time unless they choose to handicap their cards again and use gddr5x again. Gddr6 has been developed but it will not be ready to be implemented into cards until Q1-Q2 2018.

        RX Vega on the other hand is slated to be announced with full specs and release date at the end of this month, so expect the gaming range of AMD Vega to be hitting stores by mid august.

        its the age old game.. why buy some thing now when in X months some thing new will come out. In and industry that is constantly evolving and improving on the previous generations if you take a mentality of ill wait till next generation because its going to be better you will never upgrade, because the next generation is always going to be better than the previous one. just buy what ever will cover your needs that you have now and not worry about what maybe coming in the future.

          unless they choose to handicap their cards again and use gddr5x again.

          That would be the refreshed pascals I am hearing/reading about….

  • k3nnis on 07/07/2017 - 16:29

    What PSU do we need for this 1080Ti?

    • Kiato on 07/07/2017 - 16:40

      depends on the rest of your system specs but you should be ok if you have a decent 80+ rated 650watt psu. A very high end 550w-600w would run it but you would be at the very upper limit of its max output, if its not one of the very top tier power supplies it would probably fail.

      • k3nnis on 07/07/2017 - 16:45

        Thanks. I have a evga supernova 650W. I have 2 SSD's in the system, 1 external DVD drive, NZXT AIO X61 water cooling for the CPU. And some LED lights. Thats it' Will it be ok in a NZXT H440 case ventilation wise?

        • Kiato on 07/07/2017 - 16:58

          yes you will be good, evga make great power supplies and the power supply will be enough juice for your rig. the NZXT cases are pretty well made. ventilation wise there are no real obstructions so long as you cable managed and didn't leave a giant ball in front of the fans the case will be a great home.

        • k3nnis on 07/07/2017 - 17:01

          @Kiato:

          Thanks mate. Speaking of which I should open it up and clean it up a bit. Dusty!

          Other thing is I have 8GB RAM, will upgrading to 16GB help with gaming?

          Also have a i5-4690k cpu, will this bottleneck the 1080Ti? Should I look for a 4790k?

          Or change the motherboard and also change the cpu :)

        • Kiato on 07/07/2017 - 17:07
          +1

          @k3nnis:

          adding another 8 gig would improve performance a by a good % its not so much the games you play that would be chewing the ram it would be more the background programs you are running that will cause hangups and cause the ram to fill up. so yes going to 16 gig will help your gaming performance and just in general computer use alot.

          as for the cpu. no you dont need to worry about that, the cpu is not going to bottleneck the graphics card. well its abit more technical than that but in general, you wont see huge numbers of performance loss. at 1080p you will see more choking due to it being more cpu intensive than at say 4k but in general this cpu will still have many years worth of life left in it.

        • JustASmoothSkin on 07/07/2017 - 17:10

          @k3nnis: I5-4590K is fine, I currently have a mate running a i7-2600 with his 1080ti and no issue what so ever. 16GB is what I like to consider the minimum for a gaming rig nowadays. Its unlikely you will exceed it unless you are caching textures for emulation.

        • k3nnis on 07/07/2017 - 17:13

          @Kiato:

          Thanks. Will look into memory upgrade.

          So for gaming going from i5-4690k to i7-4790k, I won't see any noticible increase in performance?

        • Kiato on 07/07/2017 - 17:42

          @k3nnis: yes there will be a little difference. In terms of fps, about 2-5% jumping to a i7. Games don't utilisie multiple cores very well. So two 4 6 8 etc don't change the performance very much, generally games will use mostly 1-2 cores pretty efficiently and the rest of the codes will sit idle. So i5 will does great for games i7 will help when it comes to running multiple programs at the same time. If you have a program to monitor your system ( cam, precision x etc) you will find your CPU will only be utilising about 40-60 % during games. Going to a i7 you will just find that your CPU is only utilising 20-40% but if you are running multiple games or programs streaming etc the i7 will do much better keeping up with every thing at the same time.

        • JustASmoothSkin on 07/07/2017 - 18:25

          @Kiato: Pretty much, If you twitch stream a I7 is a benefit as the spare threads will help encode the video.There used to be a argument that I5's were better for gaming as it was fewer faster threads but really gaming wise I5's aren't to different to I7's unless you need it for encoding or rendering.I would say keep with the I5 personally, You really shouldn't have to upgrade the CPU for atleast another 4 years. The money would be better spent on hdd upgrades if you lack storage (A I7-4790k costs about as much as a 10 tb iron wolf or 32gb of ram) Like wise you could try water cooling your cpu and overclocking it, It wouldn't be hard to pull it to similar performance of a air cooled overclocked I5-6600K.

        • k3nnis on 07/07/2017 - 21:11

          @Kiato:

          Thanks. I have 2 X 4GB RAM now. Should I just go for 2 X 8GB now and scrap the ones I have in there now, or just get 2 X 4 GB again to fill up all 4 memory banks?

        • Kiato on 08/07/2017 - 00:49

          @k3nnis: filling up the other slots won't harm your system so getting a extra 8 gig will be fine.

        • k3nnis on 08/07/2017 - 07:36

          @Kiato:

          Thanks. The issue now is do I need to natch the brand and model of ram as my other 2 ? It's ddr3 ram and j don't think I can find the same brand and speed anymore lol

        • Kiato on 08/07/2017 - 12:46

          @k3nnis:

          No you don't need to match the name and brand. Just make sure that you get ddr3. I generally recommend corsair and gskill for ram.

          Just a FYI the price difference between 8 gig and 16 gig is not to great. So if you can spare a extra 30$ might be worth just going for a 16 gig set. You can keep the original 8 installed as well but that's more your choice than any thing. The performance difference from 16-24 won't be huge like it is for going from 8-16

        • k3nnis on 08/07/2017 - 14:17

          @Kiato:

          Ok thanks. I currently have the g skill ram

      • AlienC on 07/07/2017 - 17:51

        Anything bad with overdoing it and getting a 1000 W? Say if you already have one lying around.

        • Kiato on 07/07/2017 - 18:22

          no problem with going full over kill. other than your household power bills going up some. the power supply will only supply what is needed and scale as required.

          for the probable followups to come, here is a light FYI on power requirements.
          your biggest thing other than meeting the minimum wattage required to power the card/system and maintain that minimum is the amps going to the components, the graphics card is generally the biggest draw so if it passes here you should be fine every where else. The key to this is listed on a sticker on the side of your power supply, under your 12V rail section you are looking for the amps rating. here you will generally find that there are multiple rails for the 12v and all supplying 26+ amps to each rail if the power supply is of decent quality. if the power supply is cheaper and the amp is lower…(around 20) when it comes to playing games or benchmarking you will crash and probably blue screen. i have claimed many a dollar from people that have opted to buy the bigger wattage power supply over quality and then found their expensive graphics card being starved for power when it came under load.

          so to circle round to the original question.. its not just about wattage. i say quality 650w power supply will be enough but it comes down to each power supply, check their ratings on the side of the unit to be sure.

          i personally use a EVGA P2 1200W

  • JimB on 07/07/2017 - 16:41

    I sit here thinking why does anyone need a $1,000 video card.

    Then again, I wouldn't hesitate shelling out $50k for a watch or $250k for a car if I had the means.

    • airal3rt on 07/07/2017 - 16:51

      Why does anyone need a $25,000 car? A $5,000 car would still get you from point A to B.

      • Kiato on 07/07/2017 - 17:02

        Most of the time it will anyway… some times racq (racv etc) will assist.

        • airal3rt on 07/07/2017 - 17:29
          -1

          Maybe if you're insistent on buying a $5,000 BMW from the 1990's you'll need the RACV. Buying a $5,000 Toyota Camry or similar will always get you from point A to point B, the point is there's more to consumer purchases than a basic functionality.

      • JimB on 07/07/2017 - 17:39

        For the same reason why don't you use the on-board video card :D

        On board is probably more reliable too!

      To each their own.

      I have two of these, and love to play games. when you think about the hours of fun you get out of them it comes out alot cheaper than a wife.

      • PlagueistheCheap on 07/07/2017 - 17:03

        Can confirm, I have a wife and only 1x gtx 1070

      You also have my sympathies.

  • motion2082 on 07/07/2017 - 17:26

    Mine arrived Wednesday. Very nice card. Upgrading from a GTX970. Paid $744USD ($985AU) on 27th June 2017 with 28C Mastercard

    • k3nnis on 07/07/2017 - 21:08

      How much of a difference in performance? :) from the 970

      • motion2082 on 08/07/2017 - 18:28

        Everything seems a lot smoother although I won't see the full benefits until my X34 arrives on Wednesday

        IF money is tight just settle for a GTX1080 for $650 and buy a Volta Card this time next year

        • k3nnis on 08/07/2017 - 19:48
