Hi Folks,
We have another 4090 deal up for grabs for the same price as we posted on release. These are in stock and ready to go, so they will be ready for next business day dispatch.
Cheers,
Caleb and Luke

They'll regret it sooner than that.
100,000 4090s sold in the first 3 weeks, but only 30,000 more in the next two weeks (latest I found numbers for).
Demand had already by mid November. The number of people naive enough to pay 2 grand for a GPU has almost dried up.
NVIDIA will reduce prices (and release 4070/60) soon enough, or lose the bottom 90% of the market.
Wow , what a ripoff
For 1 component in your pc rig
Whoever buys this is crazy rich or just crazy
not that much different than ppl spending tens of thousands for a diamond ring, or hundreds of thousands for a luxury car.
Especially when diamonds are completely worthless, just highly monopolised and heavily marketed.
Something is worth what someone is willing to pay for it.
To be fair, luxury cars are high yield investments /s
Diamonds are also worthless (try convincing a woman of that truth though!)Get a new women
get a man, less costly
Yo how much Nvidia stock u own?
Yep, both of those are pretty dumb too.
You’re absolutely right, I don’t get the downvote. One must have some extra cash or be crazy
I'm not buying this but do use machine learning stuff increasingly in my work, where every bit of speed and vram helps. There's a lot of waiting around and having to start over or cut corners for low vram currently which a 24gb card would handle. That being said it's not quite enough of my income to justify it, and for gaming it seems like a waste of money.
I agree. The world has gone stupid. And it's the knobs who buy these that keep the price high like everything.
imagine being poor, get better job scrub
I'm replying like you fyi
can this play minesweeper with RT
It will explode on startup wit all dat juice
Litterally asked if they were going to drop the price again and they said no, so I bought the MSI Ventus two days ago Oh well. Good price for this card though.
$2.8k GPU hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
This is a 4090. Not a 4080.
@JeBs: Have you looked at benchmarks?
Hardware Unboxed shows the performance of the 4080 and 7900 XTX to be very similar at 1440p and 4K
AMD outright lied about the 7900XTX's performance. We need GPU competition, we dont need more BS marketing.
intel arc is very slowly improving, still not on par with the similarly priced 6700xt and 3060 ti, a shame as the LE has 16gb vram which would be great for productivity
@Pugkin: I giggle how you've posted a heap of times about productivity on an ozbargain forum ;)
(i'm teasing, not a serious jibe)
@qaz182: eh, i just dont have a life lol, its more that everyone talks about gpu decisions entirely on gaming, saying "x is better then y" as an absolute rather than "x is better than y at gaming"
@Pugkin: Maybe you can use chatGPT to write a script to write productivity posts on this group for you to save time and enhance productivity :)
wait till you see 10k server gpu's
Here is the deal from Dell for A100, 72k AUD:

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
I clicked without reading properly to see the list of components in this PC, and then realised a GPU was the only one.
Still using my $890 1080ti from this deal
5 years still strong. Imagine buying a $2799 graphics card lmao
Your $890 5 years ago is probably equivalent to what they're asking… So your point is strange, have you seen what inflation has done and the semi conductor market
Inflation averaged 1.8% up until this year from 2017. Even if you say inflation was 10% this year it is nowhere near equivalent. Being overly generous $890 then is $1300 now.
1080ti was the best card on release, the best card on release is now more twice as much even factoring in inflation. It's blatant price gouging and people buying at these prices are getting rippedWhat I've notice these past 2 years is people are actually willing and stupid enough to have the excuse of inflation or "tough times" to pay more for less. The amount of times I've heard someone say it's tough times or nowdays when it comes to shit being more expensive or getting less for what you did, is crazy. Companies are starting to realise that they've been underselling their shit.
@Mooncakes: You get this in times of restricted supply.. companies want to maximise profits through higher prices..
Once supply increases, competition should push prices lower… That's the theory, but with a Duopoly in the GPU market (not really counting Intel as a competitor yet) the competition part of the equation becomes less of a downward force unfortunately…
The 1080 Ti also offered usable performance. Unless you're playing ray traced games on a 120 hz 4k monitor, the 4090 is total overkill.
No I understand general inflation, but specific to silicon development, Taiwan tensions, China and USA tariffs etc.. Hasn't TSMC got genuinely gone up far more than your quoted inflation figures?
Read this https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.digitaltrends.com/computing…
10nm $6000 per wafer, 5nm is now $16000 massive hikes and almost on par with the new pricing jumps
Confirmed nvidia stock owner
Your 5 year old 1080ti can't run my 4k 48" oled at 120fps. Some people are happy with dropping graphics settings right back to save money on a pc, others can afford to pay extra for higher quality. Different priorities for different people.
I paid for the best gfx card in 2017 paired with the best processor, ssd, ram and AIO water cooling and it was the same price as JUST this gpu.
Prices are stupid expensive these days, the value has completely dropped out at the top end.In 2017:
1080ti - $890
7700k - $469
Total: $1359In 2022:
4090: $2800
13900L: $1000
Total: $3800Nearly 3x more for the highest quality parts. Its just terrible value
got to equate for covid recession and inflation, but even with that there is still poor value
@Pugkin: Inflation averaged 1.8% 2017 until this year, when it was ~8%, compounded that's around ~16%.
Top of the line graphics cards have increased in price 300%.Value nowadays for high-end is absolute garbage compared to what it used to be.
you are right that its bad value, compared to back then. But that doesnt change the fact that if you want a high end gaming pc these days, this is what you have to pay. Its very unlikely to improve within the next few generations either. In the end its still a pretty cheap hobby compared to something like cars or 4wd'ing i guess.
GPU wise it would be more correct to compare 4090 to the Titan line of GPUs.
For 2017 it was Titan V, Umart still displays the price of $4,698.
@DmytroP: Exactly. Neither GPU not CPU are in the same class in this comparison.
I built a top of the line PC in 2019 for just short of $6k and that wasn't using a Titan class GPU.
What is the payback period mining Bitcoin 24/7 with free electricity
Never.
the payback is when bitcoin crashes again
According to current rates almost 7.5 years.
~0.01098775 TH/s
That's over 10,000 times slower than an Antminer S19 Pro.
That correct answer is never.
The crypto fad is almost over. Whatever that period is now you can double it in a few months and then double it again a few months later and then by the end of next year just put in an infinity symbol.
GPU mining is dead for good
the sooner everyone realise it（NVIDIA，aib，distributor and general market）the better for all
Plenty of cards on market place advertised with FHR seen heaps of 3080s still asking $1300 you tell them you can still get them new for the same price and they just reply this is FHR though 🤣
if you are mining, you are doing it wrong… obviously the profitable path is to set up exchanges and run away with the money. /s

0.64 usd per day with free electricity.
Converting $2799 AUD to USD = $1867.03
1867.03 / 0.64 = 2917.23 days which equals to 7.99 years.
but one thing to keep in mind is you're getting $0.64 USD worth of BTC on your payment. So if you keep HODL-ing your mining payment, who knows.
Bargain, tempting even if I prefer the red guys…
Damn!
More than a decade ago I bought a couple of Zotac GTX295's at about $1000 each when first released.
About a decade ago I bought a couple of Gigabyte GTX590's at about $930 each when first released.
Half a decade ago I bought a couple of Asus GTX980's at about $800 each when first released.
Couple of years ago I bought a Galax 2080 Super at about $800, just before the 30xx series were realeased.
Today I'm thinking my gaming days might be over if these prices are the new standard.$2,000 in 2009 is worth $2,775.38 today. Bargain!
adjusting for inflation (2021 results) https://www.rba.gov.au/calculator/annualDecimal.html
GTX 295, $1000 in 2009 = $1,278.98 in 2021
GTX 590, $930 in guessing 2012 = $1,099.38 in 2021
GTX 980, $800 in 2014 (release) = $900.68 in 2021
2080 super, $800 in guessing 2019 = $829.88 in 2021i dont mean anything by this i was just bored
Interesting trend. Seems to show GPU's getting cheaper as time moves on which should be correct since most tech tends to be more expensive at the start to cover development cost, advertising, etc.
Console time baabyy
"Mopping up the last of the suckers at the very end of the great GPU crisis" is not equal to "GPUs 99% of the market can't buy is the new normal".
This is pretty good if those same people that paid 2600 for a 3080 peak shortage were also willing to pay that same amount.
regretting not getting a 3080 at its $999 price, thought id wait for next gen, only to see 7900xtx perform on par with 3080 in blender…
The gpu itself is not a bad card, neither really is 7000 series (except awful coil whine on amd side and rare faulty connectors on nvidia).
The main issue with both is the pricing, its ridiculous, for both competitors in the duopoly. Both companies seriously expected after the 20-22 joke pricing that slowly collapsed that everyone would just roll over to the same high prices from mid-covid (well, mid lockdown, covids still doing a lot)everyone would just roll over to the same high prices from mid-covid
I don't think they're so dumb that they think everyone will pay the premium.
Think about why they're now releasing the very top end cards first, with a large gap until they even release the upper-mid cards…
It's market strategy aka manipulation and it's very likely working.oh it definitely is, its why the 7900xt and 4080 are so poorly priced, so people buy the higher end model
I don't think all the 7900 xtx reference models have coil whines, it is different from unit to unit. I deliberately asked my colleague who worked with a 7900xtx and did testing on it, they are quiet.
I'll buy one when the 5090 is released. I might pay $1500 for it, but not $2799
But then you'd want the 5090 so will wait until the 6090 is released
I say this is not too bad
Campare to current 4080 and 7950xtx pricing
Given higher end usually carry less improvement per dollar and this time a little different…
I just wouldnt pay this much for gpu full stop but people who can spend 2k or more on gpu this is your best bet
How can you say $2800 isn't too bad??

So what is the best bang for buck video card these days - 6700xt?
Rtx 3080 used.
depends what youre doing
Gaming @ 1440p
Based on @pnt 's comment. It seems the 3060s, 6800 and a few others provide the best bang for buck
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/13111577/redirIf you're buying brand new and upgrading from say a 970 or something, 6600 or 6600 XT is the way to go, simply the best bang for buck cards out right now. Even better if found used. 3060 Ti (if you really care about DLSS and RT) would be next or a 6700 for just regular raster. Anything else seems a bit steep tbh.
Afaik, deals have been thin on the ground for a while now. Good rx 6800 deals are from quite a while ago. Can't get much at the moment for a bargain prices. Maybe things will change after Christmas…
Xbox X
2nd hand 2060s from ebay or facebook marketplace are good value.
What’s the minimum power supply for this?
1000W according to the datasheet on their website. The card's TGP is 450W
Ok thanks
Stop it mate! Who's gonna buy all the 4080s if you keep doing this 🤣
the most basic things cost so much money nowadays
this is far from most basic things
I think better buy a ps5 and games rather than this and a power supply. Would never catch up to the $3000 cost.
Rip for this who paid the price for this (in 2 years time)
