Just came across this. Not sure how good the Inno3D cards are but seems like a good deal. Free shipping as well.

ngl last year BF was full of jack-off "discounted" prices so I wouldn't place all my bet on this year either.
That was during crypto garbage, might be better this time.
Yeah it turns out this year BF is even worse. The only GPU deal available is the 3060 449$, and it's sucks even at this price.
What about White Friday?
This price is pretty meh since RX 6800 is at the same price:

But but CUDA cores, professional softwares…..
Which let's face it, is irrelevant for 95% of people buying gaming gpis.
If those 95% of people are "only" using it as gaming gpu, and I think they're not.
It's like saying Iphone price is meh because u can get a same performance Xiaomi phone at half of the price lol.
@Pugkin: I think over 95% of people on OZbargain, or the like, waiting for a deal are using it for gaming.
@filmer: You really miss the point I and Pugkin saying. Keyword here is "only".
It's a surprise that we can use gpu for both gaming and professional working right?
@Masticccc: So you're going to sacrifice 15% performance for the thing you MIGHT do once a month?
Edit: I do actually still think that 90% won't ever use it for any means outside of gaming.
@filmer: "once a month" I use my gpu for production daily, I do game weekly but it's not as common an occurrence for me anymore. while I agree that the majority of people are buying for gaming, doesn't make it wrong to show a deal less optimal for gamers
@Masticccc: You overestimate how many people would be using this for any sort of pro work, it's not that big of an industry relatively. People working with video editing/3d animating software at a professional level are also not buying an 8gb vram card lol, that'd be like buying a 2 core cpu for software rendering.
@JerraJones: It's not even about pro software. Some of uni engineering/medical softwares only work well with Nvidia card. Not saying that they won't work on AMD, but it's a lot worse. I would rather sacrifice a few bit of frames in gaming to have a peace of mind when doing my final year project.
I don't entirely disagree with your point, just find it funny about all those 95% and 90% stats that you made up from nowhere.@Masticccc: Again, those are still minorities in the job force/universities…
Vast majority of people, if they ever use a PC for their job/studies will just be some laptop/oem with an igpu. You're also forgetting that 90% of people are in retail/admin/hospitality business. You're extremely delusional if you think even 1/20 people on the street use a gpu for any sort of pro work. Ozbargain might skew more techy but that's only 1 tiny section of the country at large.

@JerraJones: Well in the beginning I mention "pro software" to clearly indicate things that Nvidia card can do but AMD can't. But if it's just about the reason to choose Nvidia over AMD despite the worse raw performance, then there are plenty:
Consumer experience
DLSS vs FSR
Nvidia vs AMD driver
and so onSo yeah while I agree right now at the same price point, AMD card usually perform better than Nvidia one. But that doesn't make Nvidia card price "meh", because there are other factors contributing to Nvidia price besides raw performance and they needs to be considered too.
DLSS is not bad. FSR implementation in games still has a long way to go and always remain behind DLSS.
just noticed the phrasing of this, id like to note that an a2000 costs as much as a 3070 yet performs similar to a 3050, workstation tax, standard gpus are just marketed for gaming
$15 delivery fee. Still better?
LHR limiter has been removed in a recent driver version I believe. Not super relevant since it was mostly bypassed previously and now Ethereum isn't mined anymore (the main Ethereum isn't anyway)
Terrible fans.. on the card..
Have two of these.. the rear fan gave up on one… (bought secondhand so no warranty for me).
The second card I have (which I bought new).. the fans.. are beginning to vibrate… not quite enough to RMA…. but are likely to fail at some stage soon..
on the plus side.. nice skinny card.. for SFF builds.. and tight spaces..
I have had 5 video cards develop dodgy fans.. in the last 10 years. and 3 of them are Inno3ds..one gigabyte and One Asus… and I only have ever had 5 Inno cards.. 60% fan failure rate..
Just saying, there was few 3070 ti at this price in October, 6800 at $699 or $689
Second hand 3070's going for <$500 on Ebay. Worth the extra $250+ for new?
Black Friday is around the corner HODLL
