AUD$ 1,139 Guys!!!
We shall see if mwave even selling at that price.
Yep. Price confirmed.
See my comment below.
I wonder if it is possible for stores like PCCG/MWAVE to do a form where everybody who is interested fills it in, and at the end of the day a random draw chooses who can buy a card…
Confirmed!
Press start got confirmation.Nvidia has provided us with confirmation that Australia is getting the RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 FE. These will be sold exclusively at Mwave initially and be available for order on September 17th at 11pm AEST and September 24th at 11pm respectively for $1,139 AUD and $2429 AUD.

That's awesome! Thanks for the heads up, look forward to ordering.
any idea if AU will get 3070 FE as well?
I'm guessing not, but if we do it'll probably be announced later considering the 3070 launches next month as opposed to the 3080 and 3090
$2429 for the $3090? Holy (profanity) batman!
Guess I'll be hitting f5 at 11pm this Friday.
Then they’ll probably be all gone… 17th is Thursday
My bad meant Thursday :) here's hoping we get one.
Awwww shit, here we go again.
I need the FE on my itx build, the others will be a tight squeeze. So glad there is an option for us here.
Good Luck
mWave have never been good at server management when it comes to high demand items
The supply will be low for sure and demand high given a LOT of people been asking for the FE around the place.
interesting that its only the 3080 thats getting a release in Aus and also interesting given that 2 days ago Nvidia's boss confirmed it was not coming to Aus at all.
Good News for those who want a Nvidia branded card i guess.
IMHO, third party card makers tend to get more out of their cards than the FE's
UPDATE:
Nvidia’s Australian and New Zealand Facebook page has corroborated original reporting, telling customers directly that “Founders Edition GPUs are not available in Australia” at this time.
The statement comes after days of confusion, where Nvidia support staff were telling customers that Australians would still be able to buy the RTX Founders Editions in Australia
SO.. while support staff (in Asia) are saying Aus getting them, Nvida Boss has confirmed Australia is not getting them at all..
only a few days until we find out who is right i guess…..
