            I will begin

            You could buy bunnings vouchers.

      Maybe you should do that then

    • theriddick on 16/01/2021 - 11:57

      Any car you buy for that price will likely need an additional $1-2k spent within the first 6months of service work. Nobody sells second hand cars at that price with newish/unwarn parts in it sadly… Unless their REAL nice people.

      In saying that, $3k for a videocard… yeah, I'll stick with my $1049AUD 6800XT :)

    Not a good value if you only play game, but 24gb vram might be useful for productivity

    • DmytroP on 09/01/2021 - 14:16

      It's a good choice if you need more than 10-11GB of VRAM for machine learning or rendering tasks, essentially the replacement for the more expensive prev gen Titan.

    The prices of 3090 cards seem to have all dropped by about $150-200 due to low sales. I noticed this few days ago.

    What the fark man, why is graphic cards so expensive

    • [Deactivated] on 09/01/2021 - 13:53
      +1

      I say the same thing about smartphones like iPhone 12 and Galaxy S20. But the prices are heavily driven by demand. There's no way it's costing companies so much more in 20/21 to make the components like the memory, electronics and processor to justify the prices.

        But the prices are heavily driven by demand.

        there wouldnt be much demand for the 3090 at these prices I woudnt thinkl

        • [Deactivated] on 09/01/2021 - 15:07

          Demand for the other cards means nothing available which in turn means people get desperate and impatient and then fork out for these. Demand in one market can affect other markets.

          • pharkurnell on 09/01/2021 - 15:09

            @[Deactivated]: people have been waiting for ages, 1 week 1 month more wont make difference to the majority of people.

            many people dont have that extra coin layin round for the next model up - or they would be buying it in the first place.

            • [Deactivated] on 09/01/2021 - 15:20

              @pharkurnell: It's been selling very well. There may be some stock still in Australia but that's not the case everywhere:

              "Unless you're willing to pay way over the odds, finding where to buy the GeForce RTX 3090 is still stupidly hard. That's because the most powerful enthusiast-grade graphics card from Nvidia has pretty much sold out everywhere.

              Unfortunately, we don't expect any new GeForce RTX 3090 to arrive in high volumes in the foreseeable future. But that's to be expected as Nvidia knew this situation was coming up and apologized in advance, noting that stocks were always going to be low as the RTX 3090 is more of a professional and high-end enthusiast rather than a mass-market graphics card."

              The above is from an article that came out today:

    • Clydee on 09/01/2021 - 14:03

      actually this is why we can get the same products in reasonable price in a few years because high price at the beginning covers the developing cost.

    • Hybroid on 09/01/2021 - 14:26

      They're not. This is very very cheap for a productivity card compared to other work-focused ones (e.g. Quadros).

    This is MSRP, and once you've adjusted for tax, it's an MSRP that sits 25% above US MSRP (and I don't want to hear about the impact of US tariffs, because they should not be a factor the cost of stock direct from Taiwan/China to Australia).

    Just avoid any brand that does this crap, and they'll look over what the local suppliers are doing and just drop them.

    • petry on 09/01/2021 - 14:06

      just because you don't want to hear it don't mean it has no effect - we are gouged because we can't import anymore without paying border taxes - applies to everything and now we are a vassal yank state China will stick to us as well.

      Thats australian federal trade policy - yank or nothing.

      • jasswolf on 09/01/2021 - 14:13

        This is wildly incorrect.

          because you say so - chinese deals have shrunk… computer gear prices have risen massively, and border taxes remain an impediment to a free market… all facts… so its your personal opinion alone…

          • jasswolf on 09/01/2021 - 14:48

            @petry: No, I'm very much sitting in the majority, you're sitting with the News Ltd comments section.

            If what you're saying is true, you'd be witnessing these kinds of price spikes in the UK and a lot of the EU, but you're not.

              @jasswolf: nope england was part of the eec so prices were european not yank … you are very uninformed if you think Murdoch talks about american gouging, hes still denying climate change and terrorism, as is our government still…

              You claim to be representing the majority, what platform of superiority are you claiming to be stood on? Trumpism?

              • jasswolf on 09/01/2021 - 15:37

                @petry: That's some incredible mental gymnastics you're doing there. Trump is out of his gourd, and I'm not right-leaning at all.

                AFAIK there are no EU or UK tariffs on electronics, it's just VAT that gets applied. So the difference in costs would be entirely down to logistics in any given member nation.

                There is no supporting evidence for your claims, no official statements, it's purely a consequence of AU suppliers rebuying stock off other suppliers in other regions, or getting things on special order or first-class shipped.

                EVGA had no significant 'Australia tax'.

                  @jasswolf: no conspiracy theories here - no mental gymnastics - pure economic consequences of protectionist and regressive taxation policies as introduced by the liberal national government over the last decades.

                  au computer distributers are gouging australians with the deliberate assistance of federal government.

                  the same federal government that has turned australia into an american vassal state quite deliberately and driven down living standards and increased prices.

                  you like to call people names, you like to try and demean them, you make up things, and you don't like facts. Very trump and you are right wing.

                  the 2013 government investigation found 50% price hikes but did nothing, in 2018 they increased that disparity with border tax
