Yeah yeah hodl blah blah….. you know how long folks have passed up previous deals in hope of getting a better one? Just buy the damn card and enjoy your games maxed out with no more "hodl" crap. People keep doing that, they may as well quit gaming or waiting on the next gen tech which probably is all hype anyway!
AM5 isn't much of a boost over latest am4 tech yet it was blown out of the water with hype.
Buy now, play now, no more waiting
Yeah all these stupid "HODL" comments should be banned - so sick of seeing them on every card deal that's posted here.
Hodl your comments mate
Settle down Jensen.
Hold on!
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 doneHODL
do these HODL thing actually know what their price target is? or they just trolling? can someone clarify?
hODLlLlLll
If you’re sick of waiting and can stomach current prices then go for it. You’ll need to be able to handle seeing the prices keep falling. No regrets when it inevitably happens.
Otherwise, if you’re current setup is ok and you want to see at lower prices, keep on hodlingIts just a bit of fun. haha
If you held on this day, 2 days later you can get a 3070Ti for $86 less:
Yeah, I HODL and passed the all the afterpay deals in August. I am still HODLING, this deal for anyone who can’t HODL anymore.
Need to offload my 3070 soon, 40X0 looking very expensive though
Why on earth do you need to offload a 3070?
Rgds, a 1080 user
Yeah I got a 2070 and run everything max 1440p, and there is sweet FA coming out, what is there even worth upgrading for unless you are running some insane resolution.
Before price drops off too much with cheap 30X0 RTX flooding marketing with scalpers and Crypto miners dumping their cards.
Want 4K @120hz, that said 3070 is an excellent card and prices will be insane on 40X0 cards, so will HODL for awhile.
They are already coming out, 3070s going for around $500 on eBay.
Just funny to see them on Gumtree for 600-700.
Can get a 3070 on ebay for 500 ish regularly if you dare the used market
I just snared a used 3070 on Ebay for $480.
Excellent price, well done. Just paid $580 but I needed the white Gigabyte Vision for a specific build.
Same here. Bid up to $650 to win mine. Then I saw from some lucky soul nabbed another one for $480.
Whenever I feel salty, I just look at the all-white-and-silver build.
Wow, nice work. I'm jealous
ti or not?
The Ti is closer to the performance of a 3070 than it is to a 3080, I'd go used 3080 at this point or wait for the rDNA 3 announcement in a couple of weeks where. The announcements always get a fresh wave of used cards in the market and some more new cards tend to go on sale at the same time.
Yeah some on Gumtree for $600-$700.
I ask if they can do better, down from $620 to $600. Zotac so nothing special.
I just sent them a link to ebay 3070 completed listings and wished them luck.
Waiting for another 3080TI or 3090 deal
same, that 3090 @1400 was a ripper of a deal. Too bad it went OOS in less than 90 minutes since posted.
I haven’t read anyone getting that deal after it was posted. Only those who ordered it a day before had received it.
Hodl till 6080 is out
If your graphic card is "ok" for you current playing games, I will suggest to hodl till black Friday as lots of resources have already confirmed that this Black Friday will be the craziest carnival for PCDIY consumers.
Sources from where?
From some credited twitter blogger and YouTuber. But if you want to buy,I am glad for you.
Like I said, money is in your pocket, some people are trying to help you not spend that much money and others are trying to push you to spend the money. A smart man should know which side is more ‘tricky’. Money don’t go rusted in your bank account but video cards will. Good luck!
Those aren’t sources mate, those are generic descriptions.
@sickaunt: Like I said, if you don’t believe so, just spend the money now. I don’t know what’s wrong to hold my money and wait for a better promotion time. I am only suggesting those who are not in a hurry to wait.
Most of those aren’t reliable resources, or are only applicable in the US
@Anthropomorphised: So what’s your point, The price will even go up on Nov? Or there won’t be any huge discount on Black Friday?
I get the feeling this is going to be the case, except for some components I've been eyeing which seem to be out of stock in a few places (Corsair RMx PSU's for some reason).
AM5 platform is out so, AM4 boards and chips should have price reductions.
DDR5 is constantly getting cheaper and the way of the future, putting pressure on DDR4 prices.
New GPU's are coming out, Nvidia allegedly has a backlog of 3000 series cards and storing them in warehouses costs money, Intel released their gpus at competitive prices in comparison to Nvidia (driver problems though, maybe?).There's no more government handouts due to the pandemic, cost of living is increasing, so people will have less money to spend on crazy pc hardware prices. Supply chains are slowly normalising, increasing supply. Madness what Jensen is thinking.
We'll have to wait and see.
I agree Jensen is mad, I actually think he would rather burn money storing 3000 series cards in a warehouse than pass on savings to consumers. In fact, I believe they have been purposefully holding back supply of the 3000 series even till now to artificially inflate the prices so that they can launch the 4000 series at their ridiculous msrps so that the generational price difference does not seem so large.
Just saw a 6800 go for 620 on ebay… So there are 2nd hand options popping up more frequently
New one? Share the link please.
No 2nd hand 🙂
any 3090s ?
click subscribe on this for future alert: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/product/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3090
3xxx series is cursed. I'm waiting for 4070 polishing my gaming skills over old titles like AC4 Black Flag and Fallout 4 season pass dlcs
the 4070 thats as slow as a 3080 but will cost more?
Nvidia would like you to use the term as fast as… Not as slow as please… You don't want to piss Leather jacket off!
Don't HODL. Go!!
Bought the 3070 Gigabyte (not the cheapest its been but only about $30 more than the lowest this year); 12700kf; B660M-Plus Wifi - Saved about $100 instead of buying from stores which I had to drive to for each part individually!
I saved $250 buying 7/8 parts online since end of August, 2 of them c & c from store near my house, 5 of them delivered to my house. The only part left is GPU, still HODL as I passed so many great August afterpay deals (regrets). But I will regret more if I need to pay more than the deal I passed, I will use my old 1050 ti in my new pc when all the parts arrived first.
HODL GUYS!!!!, trust me, when the $2000 4080 12gb thats 15% faster than the $800 3080, prices will plummet. right?
Supply and Demand and must have the latest and probably not that greatest
History says yep.
Gotta get that e-peen spec tag in your forum signature.
Without a Doubt the SINGLE worst value card on the market
why woudl you pay this when a 6800 SMOKES the living (profanity) out of this by a good 20fps or more,and is like 150-200 dollars LESS
Some of us need nvidia for machine learning stuff (as well as gaming), but in my case the 3060 with 12gb of vram was way more useful for that.
Stability of drivers if you're a windows user.
Amd have confirmed that Ive found a bug, with no roadmap to fix it, so I have to leave.
If you're curious, its having more than 5 screens, with more than 4 unique refresh rates.
50hz (pal mastering), 120hz (gaming), 60hz (ntsc mastering), 90hz x2 (VR headset).
There's a good 50/50 chance that whenever I enable the VR headset, the drivers just take a dump on an otherwise rock solid clean install.
Had no problems on my 1070 setup. Was a mistake "upgrading". Ah well, live and learn.
Sounds you're a very edge case and doesn't change the fact that the 6800 is much better value
How so? It cant be an "edge case" when a question is targeted to an individual. Its an individual experience.
It sounds like its only better value for others.
You didnt ask "why should someone" you asked "why would you"; and thats why I would buy it.
If you're not looking for a personal answer, dont ask a personally targeted question.
@MasterScythe: True for you, but for 99% of people, the 3070 (well any Nvidia) is actually a very poor purchase.
Any point upgrading a 2070 super to this?
I'm not up on graphics cards and their comparative performance, so I use this site whenever a card comes up:
Here's the comparison for your card: https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-2070S-Super…
Not sure if this site is particularly reliable, but it gives me a decent idea of the performance comparisons.
Yeah, so long as you ignore about 5% of their test values, its close enough for a guideline.
The 5% is usually seen because some systems are sensitive to ram configs, or have worse cooled versions (or better), etc etc. Since its all user submitted, you cant be sure its honest; but its close :)
This is a terrible deal lol?
The RX 6800, which is faster than this, has been almost $200 cheaper, and the RX 6800 XT, which is a lot faster than this, has been $799.
AMD doesnt count lol
I am checking GPU price and their fps benchmark/videos comparison since August as I am building a gaming PC for my daughter. 3070ti and 6800 have very similar raw gaming performance, but 3070ti is much better on RT, DLSS , video decoding ect and probably more stable drivers.
I am not saying 6800 isn’t good, but I will get 3070ti/6800xt if it’s around $700, or 6800 if it’s around $650. Yeah, I am still HODLING. In addition, I can understand people choose either Nvidia or AMD with their reasons.DLSS isn't in every game and is quite comparable to FSR. The 3070ti also won't really be able to handle RT at a reasonable fps, so that point is kind of moot. Only real reason for nvidia is for production work.
Edit: I should add RT can be ok on 1080p, but spending this amount of money for 1080p is kind of insane.
6800 is ~5% faster but it does depend on the game. FSR and DLSS are currently very similar. 3070 Ti is too weak for 1440p RT. 3070 Ti also doesn't have enough VRAM to run a few games and it's only going to get worse as time goes on.
From most comparison videos or chart, 6800 less than 5% faster than 3070ti (less than 3fps in 4K average), DLSS is definitely better than FSR. RT may not perform well on 3070ti, but it’s still much better than 6800, even 6800xt.
6800 has 2 advantages, lower price and more VRAM. I totally agree Nvidia 3000 cards cost more $$$ per fps. But that’s doesn’t mean people choose Nvidia is wrong. They have solid reasons as the people choose AMD.
I could end up 6800, 6800xt or 3070ti. All depends on price and I willing to pay a bit more on 6800xt and 3070ti after I watch so many YouTube, read hundreds user and pro reviews.
I appreciate that I read your opinions, that’s around 1/201 user opinions.
If you can find 6800 $150 (not $200) cheaper than this 3070ti now, please share. I will buy it now and thank you. Don’t need to share the August afterpay deal, I can’t get it anymore. Cheapest 6800 atm is $789 + surcharge, minimum different is $46, not $200.@stevelo: From the HBU charts, it's 6% faster at 1440p and 4% faster at 4k (excluding the one ray-tracing game).
DLSS vs FSR depends on the resolution. DLSS is better at 1080p, 1440p and FSR is generally better at 4k due to the visual bugs DLSS has.
RT is definitely better on the 3070 and 3070 Ti, but neither of these cards really pushes fps high enough at 1440p to take the ~40% ray-tracing fps hit. RT is more of a feature that could be useful on the 3080+. There's also been a few 3080 12gb models go for $999, so if I was after an Nvidia card, I would much prefer those over a 3070 Ti at ~$850.There's really no good GPU deals at the moment. This isn't a good deal and there's no RX 6800 cards worth purchasing brand new either. Second hand they are selling for a little over $600, so that's always an option - hilariously they're going for about the same price as what 3060 Tis do, despite 25%+ more performance lol.
6800 has 2 advantages, lower price and more VRAM
There's a third advantage, the 6800 is also insanely more power efficient than the 3070 Ti - about 40% more performance per watt efficient. It uses around 220 watts on average gaming, whereas the 3070 Ti is around 300 watts and the 6800 is ~5% faster as well lol.
Really, the 3070 Ti is a bad product that shouldn't exist, it loses in price/perf and perf/watt to the cards above and below it. I really don't understand why people buy them.@iseeyou1312: Isn’t DLSS supported by much more games than FRS?
There are few videos showing RT with DLSS get pretty good fps, or are they wrong?
Honestly, both 6800 and 3070ti is still too expensive for me. May just buy the $599 3060ti deal that just pop up.@stevelo: One thing to consider is that DLSS is not amazing at even 1440p unless it's set to the highest quality, which doesn't provide near the fps benefit as when benchmarks are run for it in performance.
Isn’t DLSS supported by much more games than FRS?
FSR is more widely supported, given that it's an open source universal upscaler that can be put into any game with about 2 hours of dev time. Even games without support usually have PC mods that can include it. Because DLSS is an AI-based upscaler, it requires individual training for each game, thus needs to be specifically supported.
There are few videos showing RT with DLSS get pretty good fps, or are they wrong?
They're misleading. Using an upscaler reduces visual quality compared to native, but the point of RT is to make the game look better. So you're basically making the game look worse, but with better shadows?
Honestly, both 6800 and 3070ti is still too expensive for me. May just buy the $599 3060ti deal that just pop up.
This might be an option for you, but I would still advise avoiding the 3070 Ti.
Yeah but AMD drivers+support sucks.
This after buying 3 AMD cards and their last support advice for driver not working on a particular game was to install an older version driver EVERY time I played that one game and reinstall recent drivers for everything else.
If you want my money, don't treat me like sh*t. They did, so I went to Nvidia and never looked back.
My experience is different to yours. I've used 2 Nvidia, and 2 AMD, whatever was the best value at the time. Even with Nvidia I still confirmed the latest drivers had no issues (as I do with any sort of drivers), because contrary to popular belief, they do also have issues.
I've had no issues with my current AMD card drivers to date.
Have had 0 issues with my 6900 XT and only very minor issues with my HD 6970, which was in the time of the AMD "bad drivers".
In your example it looks like you had issues because the game developer stopped supporting the game and AMD gave you the only fix that was in their power to provide. Do you expect AMD to provide better support then the game developer?
The developer did not stop supporting the game, please do not put words in my mouth.
Look, it's really simple. I am just a basic consumer that did not care one way or another about what brand (AMD or Nvidia) to get. I chose an AMD card 3 times and got burnt every time. I even sent one back to the manufacturer once and two months later got it back and was told they could not find anything wrong - and did not reimburse my postage costs (great). I will not go into the exact details because it was the overall experience that lead to my opinion. It's not like I only bought one and then went ranting about how sh*t their cards were. I did buy 3 cards afterall.
You would have to be an idiot to go back for more after trying that many times and forking out that much money. It was that total experience that sent me packing to Nvidia, not because I thought they were better.
I have never had any issues with Nvidia cards since then. Anyone else that went through that would end up with the same opinion wouldn't they? How likely am I to go "Hmmm AMD is $200 cheaper, I can forgive the 3 years of drama they gave me and then blame me for the issue…" yeah, na. I'm not gonna do that.
@Arcticfox: If the developer was still supporting the game, then they should fix the fact that ~25% of users can't even play the game with updated drivers. Sounds like just a shit developer. It is like writing an angry email to Mozilla because a single website doesn't work properly in Firefox.
I even sent one back to the manufacturer once and two months later got it back and was told they could not find anything wrong
What has that got to do with AMD? So that card was either faulty and the OEM couldn't find it, or the problem was on your side and you couldn't find it. Either way your issue is with the OEM. Just don't buy that brand again.
I don't care what card you buy, obviously that's your call.
@Aureus: So what would you do? Would you buy a 4th AMD card after going through all that? Would you do everything in your power to defend their brand and keep on buying their products? I didn't buy the same brand, I got a different one every time.
If you say yes, then you are clearly an AMD fan because no one else would. I did the only thing I could as a comsumer, stop wasting my money on a product that was clearly failing at doing the one thing I brought it for.
Yes, everyone will have their own experience. All I can do is say my own. You can ignore my comment if you want, that's fine, but don't try and say it was my fault somehow. That's a load of BS.
@Arcticfox: If I was in your shoes, then for sure, but I am not in your shoes, I have my own shoes.
Your problems with a single OEM vendor and a poorly supported game doesn't really reflect badly on AMD IMO. You think different and that's fine.
I am not an AMD fan. I buy whatever is the best value at the time and that has mostly been Nvidia cards
don't try and say it was my fault somehow. That's a load of BS.
Perhaps reread my comment. I didn't say it was your fault.
@Aureus: Well unfortunately AMD was the only thing linking the 3 cards (from different manufacturers) I have together, so that is where I decided to apply my solution. Lucky for me switching to Nvidia worked. <Shrug>
firm handshake - slaps shoulder
Alright, let's go to the bar, your shout ;-)
Yup.
You'll find a lot of people who defend AMD's drivers haven't ever had to request a change or development.
And often fall into that "I play games" exclusively type of user.
how to buy 4090 in Australia? why not selling this one in AU?
It's not out yet. Out on the 12th in the US. Considering the price and lack of mining I don't think you will have trouble picking one up if you are willing to pay the crazy price.
??? it's selling already
Nope. You won't be able to buy it until early morning on the 13th of October. Any stores that have it listed are just for placeholders.
If you're still on a GTX 1080, then might as well get an Intel Arc.
Help build up competition and lower prices in a year.
Otherwise Nvidia will keep taking advantage.
Maybe for a tinkerers or for Blender use with it's good RT not for the main stream games yet, maybe 2nd gen Arc for desktop.
Garbage deals being posted for GPUs of late.
HODL!
