Mod 13/9 (copy paste of the report reply): For those reporting that RRP should be in the forum or similar, there is no such guideline. As always the community will decide if it's a good deal or not via the voting system and/or comments. In general, a deal can be good value or of interest without being discounted as such, whilst a deal can be discounted but still be of little interest or poor value. In any case it's up to members to decide. In relation to potential issues about the deal details, should the deal not go ahead as posted, or another issue that breaches guidelines, it will be removed at that time. Please use TWAM for other issues and keep comments respectful. Thanks

Mod 2 15/9: Mwave has now announced there will be a raffle to purchase (that's a new one). The main deal link has been updated and the deal post moved to forums. Please join the raffle should you be interested in purchasing and continue discussion in the comments below.

          Build hype with limited editions and exclusivity.

          Sell cheaper competitively but build brand with inflated 2nd hand market.

    wow it's actually at MSRP.

  • ThatsCheap on 12/09/2020 - 19:44

    I thought Founders Edition won't be sold in Australia based on earlier reports (I guess it's not directly from nVidia). But this is great as we're waiting for the embargo to lift on the 16th of September and for the reviews to come out. Want to see how this cooling system impacts performance and noise compared to third party models. And more importantly, for those of us on higher-end air coolers, whether the air being pushed towards the CPU from the back of the card is cool enough that it will positively impact CPU temperatures (or negatively, as most are expecting).

    • DoesntEvenMatter on 12/09/2020 - 19:47

      Mwave got the exclusive. Unless your cpu is at borderline temps won't be impacting it too much from the gpu blowback. I'm more intrested in the water blocks that will be designed for this now

      • ThatsCheap on 12/09/2020 - 19:51
        +5

        Either way it's great that we have the FE option available. And if 3rd parties decide to over-price their 3000 series cards in Australia, we can jump on this one now.

          Only problemis by the time you work out how much they've price jacked the 3rd party cards, this will be sold out

            @cille745: That's fine, we'll wait until it's in stock. It's not like I bought a RTX 2070 Super for $1050 around two months ago….. cries in RTX ON.

      Nvidia changed their mind on launch it’s mwave exclusive… after I assume other retailers will get a shot too but that bit wasn’t clear…

      Founders edition this time around really looks compelling compared to the AIB cards …

      My bet is anyone who gets them will post them on eBay for a profit afterwards…

    So standard price?

    • scud70 on 12/09/2020 - 19:57

      Yes more so news that Nvidia changed their mind about Aus missing out on founders.

    • Revrnd on 12/09/2020 - 20:16

      yep. then add another $20+ for postage..

      Still not on par with USA pricing, but given the cost of some freight forwarders, at least it's not a total shafting.

      As I stated above, as long as MWave don't pull that "available only with system purchase" crap that they did last time with Turing.

      Shame Computer Alliance and Scorptec didn't score a chance either.

  • forged on 12/09/2020 - 19:56
    +1

    US pricing for various AIB model RTX 3080s has been released. Even the very cheapest ones cost US$20-30 more than the Founder's Edition cards, and they have much cheaper, inferior coolers. Something fishy is going on… I suspect 3080 FE stock will be very limited and not many will be selling at RRP.

    So at least for the time being (until AMD RX6000 announcement on 28/10) the FE 3080 will absolutely be the best value pick. I guess that makes it a deal?

    • RI4V4N on 12/09/2020 - 19:58

      We don't know if the cooler on the Fe is better or causes cpu problems yet.

      • Ethan Bargain-Hunt on 12/09/2020 - 20:01

        Yeah that's why I never buy this stuff on launch. Prefer to see others test it out over a couple of months.

        • cille745 on 12/09/2020 - 22:35

          Review embargo lifts on the 16th, but at this point given the demand, you'd be best off getting one and holding onto it, as if you change your mind you'll be able to sell it easily for what you payed

    • ln28909 on 12/09/2020 - 20:03

    • thearbiter117 on 12/09/2020 - 20:05
      +2

      Some UK pricing also leaked a few days back with some models being up to 20 pound cheaper than FE. So it could easily go either way here.
      That said, i assume all AIBs will be above RRP for the first while as with every release. So if anyone wants a 3000 series card soon, the FE at seemingly forced RRP is probably ones best chance/choice.

    Expect prices to rise for a few months after release due to hype and demand. So even RRP could be considered pretty good compared to the rest of the market. Prices will probably have settled back down ~6 months later during the Q2 lull. Just speculation but the same thing happens every few years for various tech'.

    If you're going to get one soon anyway I'd recommend pre-ordering, getting one on release, or as last resorts back-ordering at the same price.

    • Hybroid on 12/09/2020 - 20:09

      Founders Edition cards sell out very quickly and they don't release any more. They will only appreciate over time. Until the RTX 4080 anyway.

      • grb on 12/09/2020 - 20:13

        True true, I was talking about cost and availability in general. And the long wait people will probably have before sane pricing.

        Personally I've never cared about FE, but whatever floats your boat…

    Did Apple purchase Nvidia by any chance?

    • alphaoasis on 12/09/2020 - 20:21

      Apple style marketing. Highly inflated RRP and then few months later slash it by around 50% or more to make it look like bargain when it's not. They sell at 3+ times the normal price initially. Not much competition with graphic cards unfortunately. Same thing with Coles and Woolies.

      • ChadHominem on 12/09/2020 - 22:36

        Which Apple or nvidia products drop by 50%?

        • alphaoasis on 13/09/2020 - 00:31

          Not 50% but close and thats big reduction all of sudden. Same will happen with RTX 3090 FE selling @ $2429 now. Apple is greedy and doesn't do much discounts.

          • [Deactivated] on 13/09/2020 - 09:11

    Would the 3080 FE fit my system?

    Albeit not exactly the same card
    BHP Photo Video has the following variants of 3080 up on their website
    Zotac Trinity - $720 USD
    Gigabyte Eagle -$730 USD
    Gigabyte Gaming OC -$750 USD
    Asus Tuf - $780, Tuf overclock - $800 USD
    MSI Ventus 3x - $878 USD

    Shipping varies slightly, from ~$30 to $40USD via DHL Express
    With paypal conversion you'd be looking at prices of $53.28 AUD for shipping (Using $40 USD)
    Zotac Trinity - $959.05 + $53.28 = $1012.33
    Gigabyte Eagle -$972.37 + $53.28 = $1025.65
    Gigabyte Gaming OC -$999 + $53.28 = $1052.28
    Asus Tuf/Tuf OC - $1038.97/ $1065.60 +$53.28 = $1092.25/$1118.89
    MSI Ventus 3x - $1169.5 + $53.28 = $1222.78

    Four of which will be cheaper than this current deal. Note that I used the higher value for shipping and current paypal conversion rates which may vary slightly.
