Cheapest price ever for this model, don't expect it to last long. Local prices are at $400+ including delivery.
CamelCamelCamel.
+1
Totally. While the 3060 will take a while to arrive (possibly late November from what I am hearing) the price will likely be at $450- $500 and be double the performance of this with reasonable raytracing performance to boot.
I would not consider this at any more than $250, should be $225. Look at the pricing of used 2080Ti's on ebay.
I assume the 3060 will be $400 US, so $600 Australian.
Most of the guys in the know are expecting back down to US$300-$350, not $400plus. USD$350 at todays rates makes it $478.
USD has also been falling, we are not at 65c exchange rate anymore.
@Monsta-AU: I predict demand will keep the actual price people pay at around USD$400 for the next 6 months or so.
@Monsta-AU: $478 plus GST is $525.80, then add the Australia tax, then add a premium for any non-terrible AIB, and you're at $600 pretty quickly.
edit: oops, just realised I kinda necroed this thread. My bad
The 3070 launch price in the US is $499 (700 aud), + Australia tax is about $800 here. If the 3060 launches at $350 USD, expect it to cost between 500-600 aud.
I predict the 3060 will have the performance of between 2070 super/2080, which is already near that price range anyway.
What I would be waiting for is what AMD has in offer for their Big Navi release.
I'm basing this on the 20 series launch pricing btw, where the 2080 was US$ 699, 2070 was $499, and 2060 was $349.
The 30 series match their previous line up pricing, so I wouldn't expect a massive drop on the 16 series GPU. This GPU will most likely stay at $300+ price point, but this is all up to what AMD's moves are next.
IKR if the 3070 is $800 then the 20 series has to drop a lot to even compete since the 3070 is a bit above the 2080ti that leaves the 1660S useless because now the 20 series are dropping (or should be) half their retail prices LMAO
Not worth negging. 3000 series are unobtainable at the moment.
You're right. Revoked.
Hah exactly what I was thinking, "don't expect this price to stay this high for long!"
Best to wait a little longer. Prices are expected to fall significantly on all nvidia gpus.
Sitting on my Rx580 hoping
Same here…. Still no much movement in the budget end
Check out Gumtree. So many people offloading their cards its crazy.
Can't wait to upgrade my 290's with a 3080
If you can, definitely worth it to keep waiting.
But I don't think prices with drop as much as some people think they will. First of all the new cards may well sell above their MSRP; especially in Australia; and especially for the first few months of availability. Secondly; the 2080ti had a significant markup in price, compared to its increase in performance over other cards - so just because you are now delivering that performance at half it's previous price, doesn't mean lower-end cards will also drop price by the same proportion.
150 and it's a deal. I'm sorry. New nvidia cards are muuuuuuuuch faster with the same prices of last year's releases.
Keep dreaming mate.
keep dreaming
no deal low-mid range
guys keep on waiting for 3080 3600 4000 4600 etc. and wait until the prices comes down and u wud again have a new set of cards releasing and u can wait again for them and soo on
You might be right if it wasn't for that
a) The 3000 series are starting to be released this month, so there isn't that much of a wait.
b) This 3000 is the biggest generational leap in performance since the year 2004 / 2005, so its a doozy of a one to upgrade too.
nah mate, just speculations
nthing is cheap when released brand new, it never has been
As of yesterday it is no longer speculation on prices, Nvidia has announced Australian prices and release dates.
3070 - $809 - October.
3080 - $1139 - 17/09
3090 - $2429 - 24/09

3060 isn't far away (8-10 weeks at this stage), and if it's a 30 SM card like everyone is suggesting, they're targeting 1060 price points with it, i.e. USD $250 (AUD $375 in GST), but that would also likely point to a 6GB card.
I still think it's at least 36 SM, and that lines up nicely for $300-$325 ($450-$500) with 8GB of VRAM for 4k 60 FPS RTX gaming.
Either way, put your money aside and don't waste your time on MSRP 16 series GPUs. The extra $100-$200 will offer you double and triple the performance.
For those wondering about performance further down the series, it looks like Ampere will take raytracing right down to 120 sqmm chips, which means US $80-$120 RTX cards that provide the same RT performance as a 2060, just not smashing them at pure rasterisation.
Yes, 3080/3070/3090 out of my price range.
AMD's dead silence on RDNA2 is beyond frustrating, and others on Reddit feel the same way.
It's as Sony and MS have a deal with them not to speak on it until the consoles are out.
If 3060 is no more than 400AUD it will be amazing.
I'm more and more confident that there'll be a 3060 model that hits your mark. If you're not operating beyond 1080p, a 3050 will be great for high refresh rate gaming anyway.
Keep in mind that Ampere is almost certainly built to handle a more complex version of DLSS that's yet to be finalised.
So long as DLSS adoption keeps progressing, NVIDIA is an easy buy over RDNA2, and AMD will be having to price aggressively against the 3070 and down.
3070 is 800+ / AIB 900
you want 3060 for half the price of 3070 ?
I want a Lamborghini for peanuts, doesn't mean it will happen.
$500-600 at BEST and realistically the $800 figures on the 3070 will likely be $1k for a LONG time. The prices Nvidia are going with are more guides, especially when you look at the 20 series.
3070 FE is $800 due to how it's shipped.
3070 AIB will start around $750-$800 MSRP, but we're on a website where we should be able to get it 10-15% cheaper 4-6 weeks after launch.
@jasswolf: LOL
Remember 2080tis were supposedly a $1k US Card? Care to show me how many of those were around/if ever?
And just LOL about expecting a discount…. try 20% above those phoney RRP
@scuderiarmani: That had to do with A series and non-A series binning, and popularity of the non-OC models, Quadro/Titan cards, and yields.
Yields wound up being better than expected, hence the Super series being thick and fast across the entire product stack, and that impacted where and how the TU102 SKUs were binned and used.
It's been two days since the Nvidia announcement… AMD also have to work on the the announcement for CPUs as well.
We can't say when the 3060 will be available, let alone actually be readily available for purchase….. it doesn't even exist, yet.
Whether it's a further cutdown GA104, or it's a GA106, the design has at the very least been taped out, that's been tentatively confirmed.
If it's the GA104 like I'm suspecting, then it's already ordered and is being shipped to suppliers. NVIDIA will not let a console launch slip by without a competitive offering around the USD $300 mark, as they need to compete with people looking at spending $600 on console and controller, versus upgrading their PC tower.
It took a while for the mid-budget models to come out previously, I wouldn't expect anything to be easily available this year, heck, nor would I expect any 3xxx series to be easily bought. They will sell like absolute crazy, not to mention I hear numbers are low anyway. A Titan Class card for Ti Pricing is astonishing.
@scuderiarmani: I've been over this with you and others in the comments before. The fact that three cards are going to be launched within 3-4 weeks of each other should tell you this is a compressed launch.
This series was probably set to launch in June before covid-19 struck, because they want these options rolled out before the consoles. The 3060 is the final piece for their 2020 strategy, the rest will be sometime in the December to March period, with some news at CES about that and their mobile line-up.
@jasswolf: Stop acting like you know something, you don't.
You are speculating/assuming.
No one knows anything till something is announced, and when a 3060 is announced, expect every man and his dog to be lining up for months. The 1060 is still the number 1 card, people have waited 3-4 years for this.
And I have NFI why are you assuming you have been over this before with me.
@scuderiarmani: There are enough facts out there about this architecture and GA100 before it to determine these sorts of things within a couple of straight forward predictions about where a 3060 can fall, and it's very easy to cost it from there.
If you're not prepared to do that, or listen to people who can or will, do not sit here and repeatedly talk down to people. Get on with your day.
@jasswolf: Yeah yeah, you know all.
I got news for you, average Joe won't be buying a 30 series card in September….. a handful of lucky people will snag one, and they'll be outta stock for ages.
Stop pretending you are somebody. Almost as painful as some of the awful Youtube Clickbait channels over the last few months.
@scuderiarmani: That was friendly advice mate, just show some basic respect to people presenting a logical argument, instead of saying "yeah, nah, won't happen."
You're wasting your time and reputation more than you're wasting mine.
@jasswolf: I've given you facts, previous releases.
You are delirious if you think you are getting discounts on a product that will be the top of everyone's wish list.
There's no way it's going to be priced at $250. At best, we might see $350, but more realistically it's going to be priced at the initial 2060 MSRP of $400.
The 3060 can't exceed 2070 super performance without making the 3070 terrible value, which would put it at around +50% performance (compared to the 1660 super) for an AUD price of around $590.
Unlike the 2000 series, the 1650 and 1660 supers were a large price/perf increase on the previous generation, so they won't be nearly as obsolete. It's still very much worth waiting though.
The 3060 can't exceed 2070 super performance without making the 3070 terrible value
Traditionally the stepping down has been 75% of the performance, and that's basically held from the 3090 to the 3080 to the 3070. That matches up with your statement.
Yields do not go up linearly as you decrease chip size or lower binning requirements, and that's where the value (along with conservative bus width and VRAM amounts and speeds) comes from in the xx60 series. The 2060 differed because it was just a huge chip for that product class.
There's no way it's going to be priced at $250. At best, we might see $350, but more realistically it's going to be priced at the initial 2060 MSRP of $400.
If it's a 36 SM die cut down to 30, and they stick with 6 GB of VRAM, it'll be a true 1060 successor. If it's a cutdown GA104, it'll be $350 max, but more likely $300-$325 because GDDR6 is much cheaper than it was at Turing's launch.
The original MSRP of the 2060 was $349, then it dropped to $299.

This statement is detached from reality. DLSS is a thing, machine learning accelerated solutions are the future of this kind of computing, whether it's NVIDIA's implementation or something else. The 16 series will be left behind, just not as far behind as Pascal.
The original MSRP of the 2060 was $349, then it dropped to $299.
For some reason I thought the RTX 2060 was $399, then dropped to $349 when the 2060 super was released then dropped another $50 to compete with AMD, but it seems my memory was faulty. That does seem like the 3060 might be $349 - at least when prices stabilise anyway, which definitely beats this offer in terms of price per fps.
DLSS is a thing, machine learning accelerated solutions are the future of this kind of computing, whether it's NVIDIA's implementation or something else.
Eventually yes, but right now it's lacking a lot of developer support.
Maybe if this is $249, then I'll take it.
The sellers are just trying to offload/sell them quick
Yeh, but for $1,100 it's a hard sell for the 2080ti.
Will no doubt be ~$250 soon.
So after the 3070 is out, what would the 2080ti realistically be worth?
$600
This is no longer OzBARGAIN, this is if the price is low..ish it's a bargain..sorry but you are paying more than I paid nearly a year ago in a technology sector (that independent of exchange rate) progresses so fast that this so absolutely not a bargain.
I don't dish out negs often but cannot back this one. Mainly because I'm looking at buying another one and can't justify paying 11% more 10 months later
1 week ago and this would of been out of stock in 20mins. Now No Deal
Local prices are at $400+ including delivery.
Not quite, $386 including delivery at Zotim. $370 if you pick up from the Browns Plains QLD store. These Gigabyte OC Windforce models are always some of the best performers. I bought this one last week and it shipped in two business days - I'd buy it from here just for the local warranty and returns.
Whilst I don't know whether this is a good buy or not. It's clear the 3000 series has impacted current and prior generation graphics card valuations.
That being said, I've got doubts as to whether many can actually get your hands on a 3000 series card any time soon. There has been talk of very very small initial batch runs and stock shortages a for the rest of the year. i.e. high demand, low supply = $$$.
Good luck to those hanging out for the 3000 series.

I've waited this long, I can wait a little more.
Look forward to paying 800+ dollars :)
Look forward to paying your rent, look forward to paying for your food, look forward to paying for everything you purchase.
Yeh I expect it to drop a lot
