Was Looking for a graphic card and found the above mentioned one. Price seems reasonable.
Showing $21 postage to ACT and $0 pick up from 305 La Trobe St Melbourne, VIC 3000.
Cheers

Agree. But I did the opposite: kept the games and sold the 5600xt. I got crazy with the green screens, black screens during gaming. The 5600xt works well under pressure in FurMark but crashes once or twice a day in my gaming.

For those unaware: the successor, the RTX 3060 (note: not 3060 Ti) will likely be announced as part of CES 2021, and launch in late January to early February.
Will likely be priced a shade lower than this, but the performance leap may not be as large as the rest of the RTX 3000 series. The 3060 Ti will offer a bigger jump, but likely for around $100 more when prices soften after launch (think December).
Whatever the case, this deal ain't really it given the 2060 Super and 2070 Super deals we've been seeing.
We've recently learnt that an NVIDIA launch date and an availability date are two seperate things, so just keep that in mind if you're reading this and expecting to be able to get a 3060 in late January to early February.
I agree from what I've read the 3080 was effectively a paper launch since the vast majority of orders are still no where near fulfilled. A budget (if you can call a $400-500 card one) will have far higher demand and it could be another additional month or two of waiting on top of a coin flip of a release date. Couple that with having a new GPU to use during the holidays vs not can easily justify the loss of value.
No one has ever called the xx60 a budget card. That's the xx30, xx40 and xx50 cards.
Availability has been solid, demand has been huge, and order volumes being thrown around as evidence of shortages are clearly 3-6 month volumes from what I've seen.
Conversely, the GA102 is again a big chip, and NVIDIA is relying on production of that in order to deliver 3080 stock, so I would expect early production to not ramp as well as the TU104 (2080/2080 Super/2070 Super).
3080 is intended as a 4k120+ card though, so frankly, people should be looking over at their monitor and asking if they're budgeting appropriately in terms of their GPU selection.

It's expected to be the cheapest Ampere card for a while and one that will have far higher demand than the 3070, 3080 and 3090 combined.
Availability has been solid
How can one say availability has been solid when you'll be hard pressed to find a single store with a single 3080 in stock?

Intended? Only if people are playing less demanding games otherwise it's far more appropriate to be used at 1440p but ultimately it depends on what the use case is.

It's not launching until January at the earliest, you're confusing it with the 3060 Ti.

Do I need to explain PC demand in 2020 to you? Actually unprecedented.
I've only seen hard data from one retailer, and it's unclear if that was for all of their stores (they sell in multiple EU countries), or just one region. If it's the latter, the numbers are unsurprising.

There's one full review, but feel free to read any of them. It's a 4k120 card, particularly if you turn settings down from ludicrous/plaid to high.
It's not launching until January at the earliest, you're confusing it with the 3060 Ti.
You're missing the point, the 3060 should be the cheapest Ampere card for a while as the 3050 and below may not be out for 6 months or so.
Do I need to explain PC demand in 2020 to you?
I don't care about demand, it's either available or it's not and despite you saying "availability is solid" it's actually the opposite where all the major stores I've seen have zero stock on hand.
There's one full review
You might want to read that review yourself because it completely supports my statement as there are a couple games getting close to 60fps and as I said it's up to the use case so if some people play those games then a 1440p monitor should be preferable over a 4k one.

I'm not missing any point, I was specifically referring to the 3060, an SKU of GA106, which will not be released until Q1 2021. You jumped in and decided to go on a completely different tangent for no reason.

Ok buddy, we'll just wave our hand and magic things into existence. Are you actually 12? I'm referring to general supply being solid. Demand is through the roof.

You might want to compare the 1440p and 4k performance in what I linked before signing off for the night, because it shows a larger increase at 4k. It's built for 4k, to the point where currently the architecture actually sees its highest gains there in all scenarios.
Literally averaging 100 FPS at 4K at max settings in that test suite, and you're out here telling me it's not a 4K120 capable card. Please stop.

I think you're misunderstanding what I said. The 3060 is expected to be far cheaper than the 3080 and 3070 therefore the demand should be higher therefore stock issues are very likely.
I'm referring to general supply being solid.
That would imply that stores have it in stock but they don't.
and you're out here telling me it's not a 4K120 capable card
If someone plays a game where it can only do 60fps at 4K then yes it is not a 4K120 card for them.

I think you're misunderstanding what comments section you're in. GA104 is 392 mm², meaning that the yield per wafer for the 3070 and 3060 Ti SKUs is double that of the 3090 and 3080 SKUs, and they'll be dedicating more wafers to doing that.
Then for the GA106, this probably jumps a further 50% in terms of yield. That NVIDIA delayed the launch 2 weeks will only strengthen what is shaping to be a record chip supply.
That would imply that stores have it in stock but they don't.
The. demand. is. outstripping. the. supply.It's a launch that is rivalling Pascal in terms of supply numbers, beating out Turing's launch, but there isn't a card in sight. Everyone's buying them after some people spent 2 years saying not to buy Turing.
What are you not understanding here?

Read that.
If someone plays a game where it can only do 60fps at 4K then yes it is not a 4K120 card for them.
You're clutching at straws here. Refer to my earlier point about stopping.
rivalling Pascal in terms of supply numbers
Yes Pascal also had poor availability at launch, it was out of stock everywhere.
https://www.scan.co.uk/shops/nvidia/rtx-30-series-faqs mentions: No free stock available.
Thanks that link also supports what I'm saying.
You're clutching at straws here
It really isn't, people have different needs so they should configure their PCs to suit their needs.
@BROKENKEYBOARD: What I have noticed is the person you're arguing with likes to start commotion in threads to derail.
They tried the same with me but I just ignored them in the end, took a while for me to realise I have more important things to do with my time, an error on my judgement at the time.nVidia have promised a release product and not been able to deliver to the masses as short supply.
Paper launches mean nothing and with AMD's scheduled 6XXX Oct 28th unveiling, I think nVidia needs to focus on making their products rather than show casing trumpet blowing Huang shows.@BROKENKEYBOARD: I don't understand how you're continuing to double down on these viewpoints despite clear evidence to the contrary.
Get a 3070 if you want to play at 1440p. Demand is not just the highest its ever been, it's multiples higher than what could have been reasonably anticipated 12-18 months ago when the fabrication allocation was booked.
You are behaving like a child, as was the the individual who has now ridden in to support you when they continually denied AMD's early RDNA2 performance numbers.
Both of you are not critically analysing what's happening, and yet you continue to adamantly throw down. Stop, consider what you are saying, then engage, because I'm always going to take a minute out of my day to combat a little ignorance in an increasingly complex world.
Don't do me proud by blindly agreeing with me, just do me proud by understanding the information presented and having a considered point of view. If you can't do that, don't throw a wild tangent into my comment tree and then neg and sulk about anything with my name on it because your ears got warm.
Thanks.
I don't understand how you're continuing to double down on these viewpoints despite clear evidence to the contrary.
Mate you're projecting hard because that's exactly what you're doing. You said "Availability has been solid", look up what the definition of availability means. The 3080 is incredibly hard to find in stock anywhere, the availability of the 3080 is not solid.
Get a 3070 if you want to play at 1440p
There is nothing wrong with getting a 3080 for 1440p, in fact it should be preferable since 4K120 monitors can be rare, expensive and perceptibly not worth the large performance hit.
This isn't a new phenomena at all. CES is at the start of January, so I'm accounting for that.
Better hold off a bit, more and more deal coming soon…

I will wait 36 months for the Tesla powered nail sized APU in my DP TV.
I feel like this one is better as it also includes two games which you can sell if you dont want to play it https://www.mwave.com.au/product/gigabyte-radeon-rx-5600-xt-…
