Title says it all, various models to choose from from GTX1030 to RTX3090.

Full list at https://evatech.com.au/colorful/

If you somehow missed out on the AfterPay day deals, don't yet have a current gen GPU or are not still HODLing, these might be the next best options… At least for the next 25 minutes, or until the another multi-billion dollar multi-national BNPL fintech platform decides to run a promo and subsidize your GPU purchase off the backs of the all fees they charge their merchants the rest of the year round.

All in stock ready to ship, 3 year warranty, shipping prices vary at checkout but start from ~$16. Pick up welcome (but please order online first, we're not taking orders in store just yet)

Last but not least, those in and around flood effected areas of QLD and NSW (or that would have their parcels from Melbourne pass through those regions to get to them), please be aware that shipping delays are entirely possible and bear than in mind when placing any orders. Couriers are doing their best to recover from back-logs but it may be a little while before they're back up to 100%.

      Unless you need the 24gb of vram for productivity purposes, 3080ti will give just slightly lower frames in games at much cheaper price.

      If you want a cheap 3090, the rog strix oc is 3059$ in a few local retailers.

          Considering it's only 37% faster than RTX 3070ti it's an awful price. If the 3070ti is $950 the 3090 should be around $1300

        I'd have to agree, given the way it was worded, the only merchant that is being charged any sort of transaction fee was eBay.
        If they never had an eBay store, that's on them, there is nothing wrong with BNPL, merchants don't need to use them, if they do then they need to negotiate a better fee perhaps, I am sure that's exactly what eBay did.
        This aside, I'd say 1500 GPUs were shifted during this sale and for a company that has listed this

        6+ Million GPUs Sold Annually
        The fastest growing & Nvidia's 2nd largest graphics card AIB partner since 2015

        I am pretty sure they would be able to negotiate some sort of better fee, but in the end OP never needed to take that road, albeit they did.

      I legitimately have no clue why people use bnpl. If you need the 4 weeks. Wait 4 weeks.

      If you're buying basic provisions (food etc) on bnpl then societal has screwed up (I fully realise we have screwed the bottom end of society. Fortunately not as badly as the US!)

            @incipient: So in other words you judge people who use it rather than try to understand the business model at hand? It is the same exacting model that CC offers, with a twist, fees are made from the merchant, not the buyer. For once a buyer is able to use a credit facility with no fees and somehow you think this is a bad thing but people who use CC are ok?
            I don't think you have thought this one out.

              @[Deactivated]: People who use credit cards to fund things they can't afford are already pretty heavily judged in society and have been for years.

              Plus about 10% of Afterpay's revenue comes from late fees. I pay my credit card on time, easy way to have an interest free credit line.

              The problem with Afterpay is that once you're in financial trouble the best way forward is to keep buying on Afterpay. Instead of living pay cheque to pay cheque for a lot of people they're living Afterpay payment to Afterpay payment and will only be able to shop at Afterpay retailers. Thus why retailers are interested in Afterpay despite the fees.

                @freefall101: You are delusional, CC are a convenience for a cashless society, CC can do a lot of good and most are responsible with their finances.
                A CC does not normally = cannot afford, it is just another way to pay for things with benefits.

                10% is late fees ehh? in what country? US, AU, other parts of the world? What is your metric here or are you going by an article that is available that mentions none of these things.

                So you're saying if that once you're in financial trouble the best way forward is to keep buying on Afterpay. Instead of living pay cheque to pay cheque for a lot of people they're living Afterpay payment to Afterpay payment and will only be able to shop at Afterpay retailers.

                You wont be able to make payments which means your account will be frozen, so how will you be able to spend more? And for the love of god tell me how and why you would buy more when most AP retailers are non essential?
                So in your world, people will need to keep on buying clothes they don't need, maybe some shoes they don't need, sunglasses etc etc, what a world you must live in.

                Sorry but it is simply not this as a reality, or AP would have failed by now, simple. Also I know of some retailers who stopped using AP as their fees cut into their profits, so there's that too right?

              @[Deactivated]: I've thought it out very well.

              BNPL merchant fee is functionality equivalent to CC interest.

              No one should ever, ever pay interest on a CC. However merchant fees on BNPL are always charged.

              If it was paying off a TV over 6mo, I still think it's a terrible idea, but - fine. But paying something off over 4 weeks? Just wait the month and buy it without sending money to a third party that's not really doing much. Or use a credit card and pay it off.

              This is my justification for being anti-bnpl. What's your reason for being pro?

                @incipient:

                BNPL merchant fee is functionality equivalent to CC interest.

                Since when? CC interest can be daily, monthly, yearly, I'd like to see some evidence or wait it just simply does not exist.

                No one should ever, ever pay interest on a CC.

                Really? So you think banks can just furnish loans for free? What a world you live in.

                However merchant fees on BNPL are always charged.

                Yes because that's the business model, that's how the business works.

                None of this makes any sense what so ever, you get 6 weeks to pay off with AP, then 8 weeks once you become a better customer. You're using a service, expect to pay for it somehow, but now you're suggesting not to be able to be a apart of the AP sales but line the pockets of CC, because their are still merchant fees, not as high as AP but they exist, and you want to justify your statement?

                This is my justification for being anti-bnpl. What's your reason for being pro?

                You have no justification, you just see no benefit but abuse the customer's benefits of being an AP customer to use the sales.
                You abuse it then complain about AP, try and think about what you've done.

                  No one on an individual level should pay interest. You're right, if everyone paid it off, banks would likely stop offering CC services. And that's fine. If everyone became financially responsible, that's awesome!

                  Oh yeah it's 6 weeks. I thought it was 4 weekly instalments, but that doesn't change anything. Just wait the 6 weeks to afford item X.

                  I still don't understand why you think bnpl needs to exist. you're right there is a market for these services. I just think the market is dumb.

                  Also this is massively off topic =P

                    6 weeks to wait to pay off an item that you would not be able to get 15% off, your logic is horrible, you complain about AP but you're the one abusing it.
                    BNPL is exactly what you just posted:

                    No one on an individual level should pay interest.

                      not be able to get 15% off
                      Now you're advocating 'abusing' it if you're only saying bnpl is worthwhile during a discount. I mean why do you think bnpl is required in the 99% of cases where there is no discount?

                  @shegeloaf: Because it essentially keeps prices a bit higher as the fees eat into profit margins, which makes them less competitive.

                  All you need to do is hold off 6 weeks and save that money the first time. Then every 6 weeks after that you can still buy something, no more waiting needed, no need for bnpl!

                  Emergency purchases are different, if you're in that economic situation. But i don't like the idea of borrowing when you're strapped. It can easily drive into a debt spiral.

                    1 merchant offering a product with BNPL and another not, they offer the same exacting price.

                    A perfect example was the Afterpay day sale, it had a reduction of 15% or were you oblivious to this? So in other words, save up and pay 15% more for a product rather than use BNPL? BRILLIANT LOGIC!!!

                  @shegeloaf: BNPL is just a budgeting tool for people who know how to budget properly, people who get into trouble financially are going to regardless of what ever lending tool they use, even if they don't use a lending institution, they will not be able to balance their own account let alone their wallet and this is the reason, not BNPL.

                  When you sell enough items in volume, you can absorb merchant fees easier as your buy $ on stock is less due to larger orders, that's why you see more merchants using BNPL, it's always been a thing, and will always as we live in a credit society.

        I used afterpay for the first time for the discount. Bought something for $1230, $1200 on gift cards and $30 on afterpay. Pretty sure it was not intended for this but if you advertise 15% off for non essentials to entice people to increase debt then you deserve to be exploited.

          What are you on abt? AP doesn't entice anyone into getting into debt, if anything they try to avoid this. Banks on the other hand with their credit cards and absurd interest rates.
          You have a false narrative running here only suited for twisted view on things. You took advantage of an offer from an Australian company and exploited it. You're whats wrong with lending institutions, the wrong type of customer that wants to exploit then complain about said company.
          The sale offered by AP had many exploit it, which ended up costing AP more than it should, so in future we possibly might see less of these sales all because of the exploiters.

              Did you ever consider that people would be buying via some other form of credit institution that actually charges interest? where AP does not and if you fail to make a payment, then you pay a late fee, just like with any other lending institution.
              So what you would rather have is BNPL for essential and emergencies but force people to buy larger consumer items with CC or other lenders that charge interest?
              You make not one iota of sense here and then you have the gall to gloat you abused AP offer by making a $30 partial purchase?
              You might not remember the 80s where the CC boom was created, suddenly 30 years later an Australian start up of charging merchants fees rather than customers is a bad thing?
              This is an interest free lending service and you're complaining about it yet exploit the 15% discount intended for real customers?

                @Godgodgod: Bingo and you have pointed out exactly why these people who exploit businesses like this point the finger but are the reason we could possibly see no more sales.
                The sale was a ton better than anything eBay has offered on its own platform.
                I have used AP for 5 years and not 1 fee ever paid.

        Honestly don't understand the debate.

        Water can carry boat, but it can also sink one. Both BNPL and CC are tools, and when it comes to tools, there will always be people exploiting it or try to take advantage of it. Some use it wisely, some not, It all comes down to individual responsibility, but people are just used to pointing fingers these days.

        Even Not-for-profit company need to make/find money somehow, so I don't see the issue of them trying to make a profit as they are a business after all. There are already many article and report advising people to take care with dealing with line-of-credit (which exist for hundreds and thousands of years btw), but if non listen, then who else can you blame?

    • iseeyou1312 on 21/03/2022 - 21:17

      3050 has an inflexible price floor because it's using so much VRAM when VRAM prices are so high, same with the 3060. There's much more room for the higher-tiered cards to drop in price.

    Almost back to normal prices. Wouldn't it be nice to see the 1660 super back to $300 like it was in 2020?

    • Store Repevatech @ Evatech Australia on 21/03/2022 - 16:28

      I could be wrong but I think 1660 Supers generally went from between $400-$500 in 2020. Even the non-super was in the high $300's, usually $400+ when not on sale.

      • Godgodgod on 21/03/2022 - 16:35

        1660 non super around $260 and supers around $350 max in 2020.

        • Store Repevatech @ Evatech Australia on 21/03/2022 - 16:40

          Ah, silly me, I didn't check Ozbargain history. I stand corrected! I skimmed over a few sales reports on our end. Looks like the end of 2020 was the low point, but the start of 2020 they were still more or less $400+

      Might have mentioned this in the comments of OZB posts before but our pricing is reviewed with each incoming shipment that arrives. If it's out of stock, it'll be sitting there at it's last listed price until new stock arrives.

      If it's in stock & hasn't been adjusted for a while I'm guessing we just have 1-2 units left on hand and the product manager isn't in such of a rush to move them.

      Limited edition, not much stock left on hand and EOL already I think. Just been revised down a little to $699. Original SRP from launch (for this model, not 3060's in general) was $1149 if I'm not mistaken. Not that it makes much of a difference today.

      3070 seems ok for $949, other than that totally agree with you.

      • iseeyou1312 on 21/03/2022 - 21:16

        Not really when 3070 Tis were selling all weekend for <$910 with giftcards.

        • [Deactivated] on 21/03/2022 - 21:56
          -2

          This is outside of any further sales, this makes it the cheapest without the AP sale.
          There was no giftcards and no Ti was ever below $910, the cheapest was 934.15 from memory with the 15% discount, either the GB Gaming OC or Vision

          • iseeyou1312 on 21/03/2022 - 22:53

            @[Deactivated]: Time to hand in your Ozbargain license lol.

            The Shopback Ebay giftcards are 3% off. You only need 1 cent left on the Ebay balance to check out with Afterpay and get the full discount. So technically:

            0.01 + 0.97*934.14 = $906.13.

            Or, in other words, the 15% APT discount was actually 17.55%.

            • [Deactivated] on 21/03/2022 - 23:02
              -1

              @iseeyou1312: No, the Tis were never selling for less than 910, that's the point, a loop hole doesn't make it accessible for all so I guess maybe try harder next time right?
              People reported that their purchases were rejected from AP, so just because it worked for some doesn't make it:

              3070 Tis were selling all weekend for <$910 with giftcards.

              Also your comparison has no validity here as apples and cheese right?

                +1

                @[Deactivated]: It's been a "loophole" for every single Ebay BNPL sale, available to everyone. The people it didn't work for likely tried to pay the entire balance with giftcards, but if you do that, you can't check out with Afterpay, which means you lose the coupon.

                Also your comparison has no validity here as apples and cheese right?

                Fair point, I was just showing that the next tier of cards was selling for less. 3070s were going for $850/$824.5, but they weren't a good value proposition compared to 3060 Tis/3070 Tis. Still a fair bit cheaper than this deal though, although probably only the 3050 and 3060 Ti are worth considering here.

                • [Deactivated] on 22/03/2022 - 05:49

                  @iseeyou1312: Again total BS based on this.

                  The Shopback Ebay giftcards are 3% off. You only need 1 cent left on the Ebay balance to check out with Afterpay and get the full discount. So technically:

                  AP would never allow a purchase of 1cent, so no technically applied.
                  Show me 1 person that paid with a 1 cent purchase, you cannot, again the GPUs were not selling for the amount you suggest. There would be less than 5 people who managed to do what you have said which is pay a bulk and minimal on AP.
                  This does not mean that the current $ of 949 is bad due to everyone else currently selling for a ton more.

                    @[Deactivated]: Afterpay doesn't have a minimum spend limit in Australia. I've checked out with ~$2 spends less Giftcards, so I don't know whether or not they'd accept lower amounts, but it's not prohibited by their terms & conditions either.

                    But anyway, let's just presume you have to spend $2. That's 6 cents more lol.

                      The Shopback Ebay giftcards are 3% off. You only need 1 cent left on the Ebay balance to check out with Afterpay and get the full discount. So technically:

                      AP has rejected some people's purchases based on the sale, don't just go making stuff up just because you feel it suits your narrative.

    Such snark about BNPL when they have happily been jacking their own prices up on the consumer.

    If EVGA cared so much, they would have sold directly to the consumer at MSRP.

    Oh and I agree the prices are pretty ordinary after 3060ti

        Yes as a retailer, you were in a vastly different position to manufacturers.

      Depends on the max gpu dimensions of your SFF setup? The smallest would be the 3060 Mini OC. It's full height though, so no low profile support there.
