Snag yourself a RTX 3090 Ti for what could be the cheapest price right now.
Calculations are based on todays exchange rate and using Hopshopgo as the middleman to receive item from Zotac US Warehouse and then forward the parcel to AU.
Total works out to be approx. A$1753.77 (Refer to pinned comment).
HODLLLLLLLLL
You've got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
And know when to run
You never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin's done
Eh if you're spending that much may as well get a 4xxx series card. I'd absolutely wait for the 4 series to drop and see what actual prices are before buying right now
Would you also have to pay import duties?
I don't believe you do, in the past I haven't had to when using them as a parcel forwarding service, but can't say for sure ☺
You will. Add another $160
on the day that the 4000 series get announced.
And what an underwhelming announcement, almost on par with the 2000 series where all their focus was on RTX.
Meh, warranry would be a pain or none.
So better buy 4080 12g? Rrp is $1659, will we get cards at rrp this time?
We got cards a rrp last time… just not for very long
So? Better to pre order before it booms? I’m ready to buy, have a 2080 super
No crypto is dead, gamer’s likely skipping this series , much like rtx2000. Plus market will soon be flooded with ex mining 3060ti- 3080. I think prices will drop on these 3-4 months after release
@yogihogi: Most people already wait 3-4 months for the release so I don't think they can do it for another 3-4 months lol.
@yogihogi: Why will gamers skip this generation? I've been waiting since before covid and the mining boom, trying to ride out those prices. Now it's looking like I have no choice but to pay the money if I want to get off my 8 year old GPU. I'm going to keep holding until the entire range of AMD and Nvidia cards are available before I make my choice, but I will buy something this generation and I'm sure many more will too.
Unless your 2080S is struggling for some reason, I'd definitely wait until 3-6mo after the 4000 series is released. Haha I mean unless saving $500 or so is not a lot of money, which it definitely isn't for some…
Most probably. Not many want to spend 1659 on a 12GB 4070Ti
What do you mean? this 12g doesn’t have the same chip as the 16g 4080?
No, totally cut down chip and reduced memory bandwidth.
For the information of other people, 4080 12g is basically what x070 GPU would normally be. NVidia marketing it as 4080 to get suckers to pay $1659 for something that previously was $810 (or whatever 3070 RRP was).
The whole announcement basically sent one message "we are assholes"
this should be at the minimum $1200 right now, realistically $1K and a 3090 at $700
*maximum
Using the Hopshopgo shipping calculator, the cost of Shipping (Weight of 7.26 lbs/3.29 kg) is approx US$92.
Factoring in the above with today's exchange rate
US$1079.99 + US$92 = US$1171.99 = A$1753.77
Please explain your calculation on your approximate total cost.
Should GST / import duty be included as well?
Most likely, waiting on OP to confirm.
Ah, I think you might be correct. I was excluding the insurance and surcharge possibly. Also I've never had to pay import duties so I'm really not sure on that front.
