You thought that a GPU bargain would come from EVGA, but it was me! Gigabyte!
I used unashamedly used to buy Gigabyte gpus and im still rocking a Zotac 1080ti. Ozb has now made me self conscious about these brands.
bad experience with a Gigabyte card yourself?
Not at all. My 7970 was gigabyte. Died after 6 years but i think that’s pretty reasonable? My 1080ti still going strong.
Ive never personally had a GPU die, even after 10 years, except IIRC the fan on my leadtek ti4200 from 2002 went after a few years. No idea if gigabyte cards really are worse quality, it's very hard to identify true brand quality because none of us have actual return/fault statistics.
I am literally still rocking the gigabyte 7970 in one of my systems.
Needed two repairs over it's life, reflow once and scrap off and replace the very dried out thermal compound.
The older higher end Gigabyte gear used to be very good, but I just hear of too many places they cheap out on components (or mess up thermals) to not be at least wary of buying from them.
1070ti on my end died after a few years of use and a little while after the warranty period. But the seller is a bit dodgy, so I didn't bother trying to claim on it. Plus Gigabyte support in Australia is basically non existent.
"go to the place you bought it from"
Edit: now an owner of a 3080 FTW 3
In the 1st year, this is the correct support method.
Does the brand even matter… won’t all be roughly the same?
It does matter actually. The circuit design and knowledge of electronics are very important factors and good brands invest a lot of money on R&D to improve these in their products.
That's less a brand issue, all brands have had dud releases. MSI and ASUS are usual safe bets but look what they did with the 5700XT releases as an example.
@AEKaBeer: Well, that happens to all brands. The point is who leads and who follows in terms of innovation and improving the quality which goes down who has more money to invest in R&D.
@Rimas: Nvidia provides all manufacturers with a reference design.
No r&d is required unless the company wants to make the card better (or cut cost).
Galax will just give you the reference card with a different fan, I haven't had any problems with them at all even though they are a cheaper brand.
Gigabyte has intentionally cheaped out on components this generation to do with cooling, however I believe they responded to criticism and fixed it with refresh models. You would really have to check a review of the individual card to understand what is going on.
Better designs will run cooler which increases likelihood of lasting longer and/or gives you more headroom to overclock and squeeze more performance
Theres also the noise factor, better cards should run quieter

I think you got the 3070Ti deal wrong, shouldn't it be $1099.
It's been even cheaper than $969. He's putting the best price in the last 4 or so weeks
Thank you for keeping this updated 😊
Good pick up Hank Scorpion, revised below with 3070 ti error fixed.

That's a decent price
There's a fair difference between perf of this vs xt
There is isn't there… Wondering if drivers have improved since that benchmark
The bench was done last month from what I can tell
I have a 6800 reference card (non XT) and it's a beast for 1440p gaming.
Edit: this price is close to RRP, I paid $969 back in Dec 2020
Why settle for this when people got plenty of cash to burn?
Should get at least a 3080 Ti
Plenty of cash?
Have you seen the stock market?Get 10 of them. Be Da Man!
Do we HODL for Next gen 7000 or 4000 series.
Reports are coming around 100TF for 7090
I don't see the point in comparing this card to the next gen top tier card I expect will still be 2 grand or more, as side from Covid and chip shortage.
Next gen may face more chip shortages, time will tell.
My question is this, the 6800xt or hold for a better 3080 deal.
3080 deal or even a decent 3070ti deal if thats enough.
I'll be preordering on release day at somewhere close to RRP, hopefully. The rumours are the 4070 will be faster than the current 3090, so unless they price the 4090 somewhere around $4k then it's unlikely the 4070 will be more than $1500, I'd expect less than $1200 (which is still more than the 3080 release price).
Although I am still really tempted to get some 4K graphics action. Sick of this DLSS and playing with settings to get 4K out of my 3060ti.
7700XT 499$USD as per leaks, that will force nvidia to restrict the price of 4070. I expect no more than 1000$ or 1100$ AUD. Again its just what I feel it would be, not the fact. Nobody can predict future.
@[Deactivated]: We are in a time of increasing prices, no reason for them to charge less when they've been getting away with charging more.
I think people also underestimate the increasing costs of the components going into these systems. The RAM alone would cost a few bucks.
@beeze: They were getting away becuase each miner was buying 5 to 20 cards each. That would no longer be the case if crypto is dying. Also cooling a 300W 4070 wont need such a beefy cooler saving cost.
@[Deactivated]: The cooler isn't an expensive part, its commonly just aluminium. DDR6 and an increasing amount of it would have a cost. There is a lot more to it, but you only have to look at GPU designs, they're increasingly complex. All those parts, manufacturing costs, etc. Don't think were going to see top tier cards under a grand again and think its likely the 80 / 90's will keep pushing higher to cater for new found moneys.
Gamers are still buying, just look at all the Hodl on here, people trying to work out when they jump back in.
Does this do 4k 120hz nicely?
Also. Just looking, I don't think this will work on windows in a razer core. It's not on the supported list.
If you slightly scroll up, there is a table that shows performance of all cards at different resolutions.
Pulled the trigger. 30% Stock remaining.
Gigabyte: Yes, indeed. It’s me again ozBargain
