        The ASUS mini tries its best with how close their two are together, but indeed, the only true mini 3060 ti out there is the MSI aero itx

        • [Deactivated] on 11/12/2021 - 12:52

          And for whatever reason the clock and temps and OC are all much better than the tripp fan ones. Tested and confirmed Aero ftw.

      Don't worry. You can only brag if your paid $999 for your 3080.

      • Leeeroy on 10/12/2021 - 16:40

        In Aus? Retail it's US$700 so 1k is possible

        • Yve on 10/12/2021 - 22:23

          Don’t forget import import tax and gst. So we’ll probably be paying about $850 usd for a $700 usd product. Which makes sense because that’s approximately how much they launched at in Australia Mwave and PLE for XC3 Blacks

      • Yve on 10/12/2021 - 17:45

        You mean $1300? Don’t think it’s ever below $1000

        • edfoo on 10/12/2021 - 18:06

          Nope. Paying MSRP is nothing to brag about, but if someone managed to get it for lower than MSRP like $1000, then they can brag.

    • Bappy on 10/12/2021 - 16:24

      Consider selling if it is FHR

      I sold my FHR 3060TI for $1650 (it was a EVGA FTW3 Card though)

      And bought a new 3070 LHR (EVGA FTW3) for $1350 LOL.

    • Caped Baldy on 10/12/2021 - 16:32

      I paid less than $1k for my 3070. I did see a deal pop up for a 3080 for around $1600 soon after. I have regrets not getting it.

          Capital gain is so 2017.

          2020 was the start of DeFi/DeFi lending where miners can hodl and borrow to buy more miners.

            This is because many banks around the world don’t yet understand Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.

            Haha. They just realise it's insanely volatile and therefore high risk. Banks don't really do high risk. They barely do moderate risk.

            Capital gain [tax] is so 2017.

            Greece's struggling economy due to lots of people avoiding tax is so 2021.

    I paid $1200 for a RX6700xt in August and sold my GTX1070 for $550.
    The RX6700XT has mined ETH and already mined $420 worth of ETH when I'm not gaming….

    The 3060Ti has a very similar performance in mining and gaming to my card; I don't see why anyone would want to HODL if it's actually more cost effective to buy earlier and start mining to make up for the increase in prices

    • Dvbargain on 10/12/2021 - 17:57

                  @ln28909: Theres ways to legally claim it as a deduction yes I'm definitely aware :p

                  But now we are definitely on the path of some people not wanting to do all this… Which was my point… It isn't as simple as just mining and done you've made your money back.

                  It'd be nice if it was.

            @Dvbargain: but that's with literally any gains ? get a higher salary = more tax
            sell something for profit = CGT ?
            just because you're taxed doesn't mean you should avoid it altogether if it means you'll generate extra dollaridoos. It may take some time but once it's up and running there's not much input that you need to do :S

            I also want to add that if you keep your asset for more than 12 months you're elligible to get a 50% CGT discount (ie. don't sell off your ETH for now, heck even stake it next year when it hits ETH2.0 and maybe prices will keep going up)
            Additionally if you use your crypto for personal use you are exempt from CGT (ref. ATO website https://www.ato.gov.au/general/gen/tax-treatment-of-crypto-c…)
            (ie. for purchasing products - which you can do through something like crypto dot com VISA card)

            is it risk free? no
            but like any opportunities out there, there'll always be a risk attached to it
            I understand a lot of people can't be bothered with it but there are also a lot of people that can utilise the mining potential of these cards and hence why they fly off the shelves despite marked up prices right ?
