Blah blah not a deal etc etc why did you post it if you don't think it's a deal blah blah ok that's over with

Saw someone posting the card from NZ earlier which lead me to looking at their prices for other cards, saw they had a 3060 for 925 and then found this one with AU stock. This is the cheapest you can get the OC version at the moment including delivery from what I can find. Figured I'd post it for those who actually cared enough to click the other NZ deal and then get all angry it was posted without GST etc.

They do free delivery through their "preferred courier" or ~20$ for the 'up to' $1500 insured delivery if you're worried, never used it before, but it's there.

They are nice people to deal with from previous experiences but as with most subjective things like individual experiences YMMV.

I believe this exact card was $759+ delivery via pre-order from PLE back in early September.

Looked these up re: mining, looks like with TREX/LOLMiner/Gminer you can still get about 34-35 MHs with the rev 2.0 cards at 79-102 watts which means absolutely nothing to me but I found the young man's voice and music combination soothing so gave him a +like on youtube.

    12GB RAM is what the 3070 should have come with!

      Isn’t it crazy they have more ram than the 3070. Even though it’s not gdrx6 or whatever, still hurts to see visually & confuses the model tiers!

    • Could Be Better on 09/10/2021 - 13:21

      Definitely, really doesn’t cost them much more anyway

    • freefall101 on 09/10/2021 - 14:51

      It's due to the memory bus width. 256bit for the 3060ti/3070, 192bit for the for the 3060, 320bit for the 3080.

      This essentially limits how many chips you can have in the board as each memory chip uses 32bit. So for the 3070 you can have 8 chips, the 3060 6 chips, the 3080 10 chips. Because no one makes 1.5GB chips (I have no idea if that's a technical limitation or a cost thing or what), you're stuck with either 8GB or 16GB in a 3070, 6GB or 12GB in a 3060 and 10gb or 20gb in the 3080 (there were rumours of a 20GB 3080ti until memory prices went through the roof.

      No idea why they went with 12GB in the 3060 and not 16GB in the 3060ti/3070. Maybe they had time to reflect after the release of the 3070/3080 and decided that 6GB simply wouldn't be enough, or that they wouldn't be able to compete with the 12GB 6700XT.

      • lulzenberg on 09/10/2021 - 15:53

        From memory, the 3070s were meant to be 16gb or can handle 16gb, there has been at least 1 modder add an extra 8gb to the 3070s. I believe they ran into driver issues but this was back in like feb/march so i'd say they would have overcome them by now.

  • bazingaa on 09/10/2021 - 12:21

    12GB is good for machine learning, for gaming I think 3060 TI 8GB would be better but it seems to be out of stock now ($899 one)

    • GoodDealDave on 09/10/2021 - 12:22

      Last night, MightyApp selling 3060Ti for $990 (no import tax). If you are not rush for gaming Oct ~ till Xmas, wait a bit go for a 60Ti or $850 or less for 3060

      • lulzenberg on 09/10/2021 - 12:59
        +1

        990 inc gst? gst is where the sting is. There have been multiple shops in AU selling a 3060 TI for 999 recently, as well as a 2-3 weeks back for 850, but they sell out in a matter of minutes. As said in the the opening post, this is just the cheapest available right now if anyone is looking for a 3060 OC. No one has said this is the cheapest it has been for x amount of time or will be for x amount of time.

        Going by AMDs latest posts, gpu and console availability won't get better under mid 2022. You can wait until then for easy purchases (hopefully), or you can have OZB alerts and refreshers going and follow twitter feeds for good deals, or you can buy a card at the current price. If falling into the latter, this is the cheapest price for a 3060 OC at the moment.

    • hackups on 09/10/2021 - 13:36

      Can't agree more. It's just the beginning of price falling.

      Just Google/Youtube "ETH2.0 the end of eth mining" and you will get the answer.

      Once the day comes (most expected mid 2022), these GPUs are going to be everywhere.

      • josaya on 09/10/2021 - 16:01

        Tbh with a fancy card, there's only a $1\day difference between ETH and the next best currency. This will probably weed out(or deter) newer/smaller miners, but established farms will probably keep going. Every non-lhr card I see hit Facebook marketplace vanishes in 30-60mins. I use my PC about 1hr (after life responsibilities) a day, and mine anything with a 3:1 profit\power ratio all other times, which is only eth now on a 1060gtx.

          $900 is how much I paid for my EVGA 3070 from PLE. Just because there's no cheaper 3060 today doesn't mean it's a good deal. Sorry but I'm with Dave on this one.

          https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/653938

          • lulzenberg on 10/10/2021 - 18:59

            @TogTogTogTog: again, that's not the OC, it's the regular version, the OC in that post is 918 and neither of the prices include delivery.. the 888 regular/non OC version is 909 delivered when I punch in my SEQLD post code.. so even if you were to get a lesser card it would still cost more from there, unless I guess you can pick it up in person?

            • TogTogTogTog on 10/10/2021 - 19:21

              @lulzenberg: If it's like every other OC/non-OC discussion, then the difference is so small it's irrelevant.

              A quick search says OC model has a 1770mhz boost clock and the non-OC 1725mhz. So you've got an imperceptible 45mhz difference (and both would hit 1900s with a decent cooler).

              • lulzenberg on 10/10/2021 - 19:25

                @TogTogTogTog: ok? and the one for 888 still costs more when you throw in deliver and is slower, even by 45mhz - the exact deal you're referencing has the OC for 918 plus delivery..

                • TogTogTogTog on 10/10/2021 - 19:35

                  @lulzenberg: I'm just pointing out that OC/non-OC is an irrelevant comparison. You're paying more for someone to adjust the mhz for no tangible benefit.

                  And fair, I didn't do shipping because I couldn't bother but Techfast did recently have a $50 off coupon which brings things down.

    • lulzenberg on 09/10/2021 - 13:02

      From what i've seen the 6600 XT is between the 3060 and 3060 ti until RTX is involved then it's a bit below 3060. the 6600 XT is meant to be a better miner

      • materix01 on 09/10/2021 - 13:33

        The LHR 3060ti mines better with less power efficiently. I'd go for this at this price unless it's for 1080p gaming or lighter 1440p or if the 6600XT is ~$700.

    • ycatlive on 09/10/2021 - 17:20

      6600 xt is better at mining but i think this one will have more residual value once eth goes to pos..3060ti with lower ram seems to be a better choice at this price tag though.

  • helmutiffe on 09/10/2021 - 13:03

      I remember thinking it stung when I purchased a 970 for $500 near release in stores. I sold my 3070 a few months ago for $1650 and downgraded to a 6700XT. GPUs only seems to be getting more expensive. Nvidia and AMD has seen consumers are willing to be gouged so I don't have high hopes for next gen pricing.

          I did a new build a couple of years ago but kept my 970 as I wasn't that impressed with the 2000 and 5000 series cards. Then I thought I would wait a few months for the 3000 series to drop in price. Well…

      • icarus255 on 09/10/2021 - 14:30

        Sadly true… and even sadder is the fact that manufacturers have seen what a frenzy the shortage has created. I'm sure the next shortage will be part demand-driven and part artificially created supply shortage. Kind of the way that Apple does the exclusive releases with the massive lines outside their stores on release day.

    I was very close to pulling the trigger on a 3060 (really preferred a 3060 ti though) because my budget was strictly sub 1k, and it was the only part my pc build was missing. I managed to snag a Palit 3060 ti from Mighty Ape NZ for $950.00AUD express delivered 2 days ago! It literally got to my door in 24 hours and I live 100km away from Melbourne CBD. Not the greatest brand card in the lineup i understand, but a little more future proof than 3060. Was amazed at DHL’s service tbh.

            @Mattapie: If this is any help, when ever I ship something I can't stand looking at anymore via eBay, if it's express, the postage basically updates straight away and shows that it's been shipped/received by the LPO. When ever I send something regular post, even signature, it sits 'pending' on tracking until it hits Brisbane, then finally updates the tracking (which is sometimes a couple days, since we're on a weekend, it won't be moving anywhere i'd say until monday). I think they just don't even bother scanning the regular post anymore until it hits a depot.

    Double the price, bullshit shortages, amd and nvidia oligopoly!

    Just looked at some videos and this is only 4% slower than a 1080 Ti but uses almost 100 watts less stabilising at around 160 watts usage compared to 260 watts usage on a 1080 Ti.

    That is pretty impressive.

    So if you find a 1080 Ti cheaper it might still cost more in electricity costs and create more heat.

      We're not miners so couldn't care less, miner!

        True that down with miners.

      its impressive that its only slightly slower than a 5yr old card? lol

      • AlienC on 09/10/2021 - 17:49

        well 2 generations and the achievement is 90-100 watts less usage

        and remember this is only comparing the 60 tier to the 80 ti tier aka the top of 5 years ago compared to the mid of now.. yes progress is slow but that is why we need more engineers and scientists

        • BigKahunaBurger on 09/10/2021 - 17:53

          i suppose it may be considered impressive if it didnt cost almost as much as the 1080ti did on launch

          900 bucks is an absolute joke for an entry level card

            @BigKahunaBurger: I agree.

            $600 was ok.

            $700 was pushing it.

            $900 is a true sign of the current times.

            GPU prices are crazy.

            It is a luxury now to get into pc gaming with these high premiums thanks to the chip shortage disaster.

            Just try and remember the good times when GTX 1060 6GB cards were sub $350 and a 1070 was maybe double that.

      Plus DLSS is now becoming better and better for support and quality

      Not it matters to 99.9% people out there, for deep learning, 3060 is the best entry card with 12GB vram, tensor core and support FP16 precision.

    Up to suppliers to put 1-2 card limits to buyers, even better put ID verification for local consumers🤣

    Scalping is ridiculous with gpus
