They're $2.5k+ elsewhere. 3080s at this price sell out almost instantly.
Double what was meant to be RRP originally. Ouch.
PS I didn’t downvote you. But I didn’t think 3080s were that much.
Remind me what was the original RRP?
@Midday Murth: Yeap I got mine for roughly $1170 at launch, looking at the prices now I'm not as annoyed that I waited 3+ months for my card to finally ship.
2.5k? I got my 3090 for that 🧐
Mining?
@BadBreath: I've mined about 0.1 ETH (only during days to make use of solar) but I probably won't continue, running the fans at 80% for 8-10 hours a day can't be good for it.
@ry34: You need to tune it to limit power to 60%, GPU clock -150, Memory speed +1200 ish, this will keep the thing quite and cool.
this will keep the thing quite and cool
Probably not the memory though. Got my 3080 Gaming Z Trio (on Suprim BIOS) running at 100% fan speed, memory junction temp always in the 102-108C range. Gonna try adding a fan directly to the backplate soon. This is with my case side panel off and a 3060 Ti above the 3080 also mining.
@MiscOzB: Sounds like you need some thermal pads on those memory chips. I'm doing that mod to my 3080 soon. Have heard it lowers memory temps significantly.
@reloxation: Yeah could do with some new thermal pads, but would rather not go through the hassle of installing, plus all of the decent pads seem to be sold out or overpriced atm. Hoping the extra fan drops the temp by 4C or more, as it did for this guy's EVGA 3080.
@MiscOzB: You would need thermal pads to connect the back of the vram to the backplate for this to really benefit the GPU tho
OOS
Well that was quick
That didn't take long to sell out.
Was posted on discord groups before here. By the time this deal was submitted it was already too late.
Retailers are now scalpers. A sad state of affairs.
True for some retailers, not all. Suppliers have hiked prices, distributors hike prices and then bundle crap that retailers have a hard time selling, add a profit margin for the retailers and you get scalper pricing.
With so many hardware margins being only a few percent.. having to deal with those crap profit margins all these years, I can't entirely blame them.
If they had a bigger slice of the pie, I'd like to think that this price jacking wouldn't happen so much. But maybe I'm still wrong.. people are greedy after all.
Another retailer will just buy the limited supply and then they get nothing at all.
@lukethefish: Imagine a world where the retailer can contact the manufacturers and discuss the situation, and then action is taken. Imagine a world where a retailer can come up with a business model that thrashes what the supplier is doing.
Or you can just downvote, and fail to recognise that at card launch, some retailers did have good deals on some cards, and Amazon had zero issues with importing MSRP cards from the US. Such is ignorance.
I don't really care that much at this point, people will read my comment and mostly continue along their way. In 2-3 years we're probably have another round of this madness until crypto is completely banned as a commodity and a currency.
@jasswolf: There is no incentive for anyone to lower RTX3060TI/3070/3080/3090 prices right now. Some retailers are selling GPUs from the port of entry, at current prices. I've seen some GPUs be bumped up by $100 each shipment. I think once there is some more stock in the market then some retailers might embrace volume selling strategy. There will be a point where consumers will not want to pay the asking price. When will that be? Who knows? Maybe the second revision chips that are rumored to limit mining hashrates will increase seller stock levels? Maybe some mining slow down or crash will leave more cards for gamers? 'Pushback' is unlikely when buyers keep paying the increasing asking prices.
In the meantime 'its nothing personal, its strictly business'.
@g1: Yes, we'll be seeing an increase in shipped cards once the hash limited cards are available. The driver is now out as of last week, and supposedly the stock will be announced in the next 10-20 days.
Mining is already slowing down, but without government intervention, only so much can be done.
@jasswolf: Government intervention? Lol
Keep praying. The best they would do is to take a piece of pie for themselves.
Imagine a world where the retailer can contact the manufacturers and discuss the situation, and then action is taken. Imagine a world where a retailer can come up with a business model that thrashes what the supplier is doing.
So you think Gigabyte should go to the trouble of having individual discussions with the tens of thousands of retailers all around the world and manage a mass scale bidding war between them resulting in them decreasing their profits and increasing their overheads? This theory has no logic.
@BROKENKEYBOARD: Good to know you're still here for the most obtuse strawman argument possible. Enjoy it, I'll be somewhere else.
I remb when the 3080 came out and people were being sent death threats and abused for selling it for $1500
Now look at retailers lmao
I remember when people were selling the 2080ti's for 900, then the high launch prices… I thought I'd wait it out, now im just going to wait until next year tbh.
Yeah I am probably going to wait until late next year. This price is just absurd.
This price is cheap for a 3080 atm. Could mine back some of the cost anyway.
Yeah it is cheap for a 3080 but for a graphics card, more than I’m willing to spend considering a waterblock 3080 was around this or $200 less several months ago.
And yeah you could but I wouldn’t personally
When I put a 2080ti for 1400 with Waterblock got some messages like that.
I feel so dirty but I sold my exactly two year old 2080ti FE two month ago for $1,450 (paid $1900 for it back then) then bought the XFX 6900XT for $1,999.
Absolutely would not have been able to afford to upgrade if I couldn't sell the ti for so much. Now two months later and 3080's are going for the same price….it is just insane….
I almost panic sold the ti for $800 after the 300 series announcement conference last year…..so glad i didnt.
Obligatory "🚀 🚀 🚀 to the moon " comment
Sold out,.. Id rather spend that 2k on high class hookers instead.
Or 200 x $10 hookers.
Any deals on ozb recently?
Any free condom deal recently ?
Nah 3 bags and 1k on the rest 🤣
Thought it was rough when I bought mine for $1450 haha
Lol i bought a zotac 3080 for $1450
Sold it a month ago for $2000
I can get by for a year with my trusty old gtx1070when was that?
- they said 'a month ago'.
This makes the Dell pre-builts look like absolute bargains. Regardless of how many fans there are…
Wouldn't those Dell 3080s work out to be around $2k anyway? The other parts they use are prob only worth $800 or so.
Off the top of my head
cpu $400
cpu water cooler $80
case $100
psu $80
RAM $120
SSD $80
HDD $80
Windows 10 ???So effectively ~$100 less for gimped proprietary parts and a 2 month wait. Doesn't really seem like a bargain to me.
The PSU is good. It's server grade. so it's like $150. CPU is also $450 retail
Basically, we pay Dell $500 extra for the "right" to buy a 3080 card. Not a bad deal at allCase $100?!?….
Just a noobie here, is this scenario new or it just happens every time a new graphic card goes out in the market?
It's new, but it will never go back to normal. The same as when apple worked out people will pay $1500 for a phone.
This is called the new normal.
It's not new, this is a supply and demand issue and happens everywhere there is a scarcity. There's been long periods where RAM and HDD's climbed in price and took ages to fall back down. GPUs should eventually fall when supply exceeds demand but this could be a while and maybe not this generation. It's like mangoes, at the start of the season the farms can't produce much so they're expensive but at the end of the season there's too many so they're perma on sale.
Nah I don't reckon. Nvidia has realised people will pay this for a top end GPU. Why charge less?
But it's not Nvidia or AMD that are setting these crazy prices, it's the wholesellers/retailers.
When stock levels eventually return to normal, competition between wholesellers/retailers is likely to be enough to drive prices down to a more reasonable level.
How much is 3060 worth at Mwave
It worths for mining, unless you are rich to have it to play games.😁
Thanks OP, bought another 10 so I can give to my friends and be the most popular man on the block
They are only using you for money in the no homers club j/k
For $1999 you can buy 3xPS5
This is Ozbargain, not "OzAboveRRP".
This is crazy, if people stopping paying silly prices we wouldn't have this.
You don't know what you're talking about. Find a 3080 in stock - let alone one even close to this price.
Supply and demand dictates cost. Welcome to capitalism.
I do know what i am talking about.
No consumer card should be 2k, these were supposed to be $1200 odd RRP and that's even a joke.
Nvidia and AIBs are laughing their way to the bank, i understand that there is a high demand but this is a joke.
Its like telling me that due to demand a 2015 Commodore now sells for 100k, it's just not ok.
Logically it makes sense, but its literally insane to the point of stupidity.
Then you'd know MSRPs for GPUs are meaningless and they're almost never sold at that price. 2080 Tis were selling for $2000+. And that was when you didn't have a global pandemic restricting manufacturing and logistics, and an obscenely profitable mining scene.
Its like telling me that due to demand a 2015 Commodore now sells for 100k, it's just not ok.
A 2015 Commodore doesn't earn its value back in 6 months like this does.
Feel free to post your source for 3080s cheaper than this.
Can’t tell if your commodore quote is a joke or not, on the basis that commodore prices are through the roof as well at the moment…
@MarcusJones: Are they? Lol. It was a joke.
I mean yes, i know its a joke. The entire price is a joke, as my point if people would just stop paying silly money we wouldn't be in this mess.
@Matt86: I don't think anyone is arguing that the current GPU prices aren't absolutely crazy. You're not wrong about that.
But unfortunately the scarcity of GPUs, particularly upper market GPUs, means that many people are very interested in buying GPUs available even at these prices, which makes this post relevant on Ozbargain. Even though it doesn't necessarily fall into the traditional 'bargain' category. It's all relative to availability/market price.
@Matt86: Miners will buy it up regardless of price. These things pay off after just a few months of mining
2k for a 3080…yeah someone else can have it.
they did.. you missed out!
For anyone interested, as dealers, we cant even get stock allocation on these at the moment. Our dealer purchase price on the RTX3080 OC is currently $1,465+GST, but we cant even backorder with ETA of 24th May. GPUs arent even issued to us on daily stock lists anymore. Crazy times!
Is that through Ingram?
It'll be worth the wait. Dang you guys are making bank, even if you sacrifice it at a mere 2 grand. And some people think PC component margins are small.
Why would a dealer pay GST?
That's how the system works. There's not a lot of profit in it if they sold it at $2k. It'd be less than $190 even before payment processing surcharges, wages, rent, etc.
What? No it's not. If you're a retailer, you don't pay GST. Only the end user (customer) pays GST.
@[Deactivated]: Where are you even getting this from? It takes five seconds to google it to confirm you're wrong.
@[Deactivated]: So you think consumers effectively pay double GST? You can't tax twice. GST is paid only by the end user. It's a basic premise of GST. If your supplier is charging you GST, I'd change supplier.
@[Deactivated]: Everybody pays GST. That's how it works.
Here's a drawing you might understand https://www.ato.gov.au/uploadedFiles/Content/ITX/downloads/h…
Edit: my $190 calculation was wrong but the premise is right.
Well, it's certainly not a great time to be wanting a video card, even crap ones are outrageously expensive. I will just wait a year or two when things calm down.
I bought my 3080 gaming oc for $1300 last dec. I thought that was a ripoff at the time.
$2K for a 3080. Damn son.
Sold out. So I guess someone bought them.
