      Need to drop another 1000 since it is only 4070.

      Seriously thinking next gen will be reflash of 4000 series since they are selling 4070 as 4080.

        It's not a "4070". The 980, 1080 and 2080 all had the 104 class dies, as does the 4080. The 980 Ti, 1080 Ti and 2080 Ti were all 102 class, and is likely for the 4080 Ti to be. Ampere was an exception to this, and the only gen where the 80 did not have a significant performance gulf to the 80 Ti.

          Well lets put it at this way, it is a modern 1080 (non-TI) that is costing $1.8k.

          I put more attention on the spec instead of code name.

          • twister292 on 21/02/2023 - 01:53

            @windwai: That I agree with. It's an x080 GPU, but priced more in line with the x080 Ti SKUs. The 2080 Ti was around this price.

          Going by past experience, I'd steer clear of lower-end Gigabyte cards as the ones' I had bought (Gaming/Eagle Geforce & AMD variants) always had overheating issues.

          Their master series are build to a higher spec so don't seem to suffer the same problems.

          Never had issues with any from the MSI families though.

      • buckster on 19/02/2023 - 11:53

        Nah it's a good question, go on MSIs website and all you'll find is that one model weighs a kilo more than the other when you compare the offered specs

    • sprtn on 19/02/2023 - 11:34

      Mostly differences in colour, factory set clock speeds, RGB components over the card. The higher you go the more you get.

    • Mister Popo on 19/02/2023 - 12:49

      Gaming OC has typically been the better built model in terms of cooling, but 40 series Eagle cards have such beefy coolers that I wouldn't have a problem buying an Eagle this generation if they're cheaper.

    Man, ive been out of the PC game for a long time. Grew up with them in their early stages with games like stunts, Doom etc back when you could get demo of games on CD's with the PC magazines. Got the first Need for speed as a demo on one of those.

    Since then i have been console bound as i just like the ease and prefer kicking back on a lounge in-front of a big TV instead of a desk. Recently I have been wanting to get back into PC by building a gaming PC. Bring back some nostalgia and both my kids would be interested in helping. Also have something else for gaming since my son hijacks my PS5 all the time.

    I understand i can build a budget PC or even mid-range but im all for spending extra up-front to future proof and also not end up spending extra 3-4 years down the track anyway to upgrade. But damn building a PC is expensive! I had thought the PS5 was overpriced but i could buy a PS5 for each room of the house or buy the next few generations of consoles for the price of building a high end PC. Yes its apples and oranges but its crazy how much PC parts are.

    • CodeExplode on 19/02/2023 - 11:10

      You don't need these cards to be at the top end of what any developer is making anything for. Even a 3090 is still considered super high end for gaming and will last for years. Most of the market is still in the process of upgrading from 1060s to 3060s according to steam stats.

      You could buy a viable mid-range option, then another equivalent option in 4 years, and probably still not spend as much, without risking losing everything if the parts break. The value for money drops off pretty dramatically on these high end cards.

      • worthy1 on 19/02/2023 - 11:55
        +1

        Very true. I guess i was looking at future proofing everything so making sure i have a newer board, DDR5 etc. What swayed me was thinking that i can still set it up as a couch gaming option as where i would set it up i could run a cable through the wall to the TV behind it and hopefully have a 4k gaming experience on the TV. I want the experience on a TV to be equal to but hopefully better then a PS5.

        I also need a desk, monitor, peripherals etc Its just those initial costs for everything regardless of the upgrade path. I did buy myself a Asus ROG Flow X13 with a 3050TI in it when i was in the states last year. Another option is i could just get the XG Mobile (EGPU) that you can get for it with the 3080 in it or the latest one with a 4090. Can then dock it next to a TV, at a desk etc. Just doesnt look as cool as a custom built PC.

          +5

          Future proofing is always a terrible idea. You're paying 4x the price for mildly better performance.

          If you just don't waste most of your money this time, you can afford another rig in 5 years that beats the current high end ones.

          • CodeExplode on 19/02/2023 - 16:41
            +2

            @GandalfTheCheap: IMO the best way to future proof is to just get the current value for money inflection point, where it starts to drop off. That will tend to last 3-6 years with some upgrades of various parts along the way.

      • JerraJones on 19/02/2023 - 15:34

        3060 has surpassed 1060 in steam a long time ago. Steam just didn't list mobile variants of pascal so it's all lumped into the same category while the 3060s are all fragmented.

      PC building isn't as you remember it though. Now that it's easy to swap mobo and cpu without needing to redo your whole OS, futureproofing is a lot less necessary.

      I've had the same PC for 12 years. Just throw $350 at a GPU every four years, and then do mobo and cpu every 6-8 (I've only needed to do this once and it set me back $400 total).

      The average person with a 1080p or even 2k screen wanting a 60fps experience might need a 3060 or 6700 XT at the most; both of which will roughly equal a ps5. You'll be in and out for less than a grand.

      This card is pure enthusiast tier stuff. 99.89% of us wouldn't even tickle this thing's ankles playing most anything on ultra w.o RT.

          Recent versions of Windows can deal with a complete motherboard / CPU / RAM swap* with a few minutes of automated driver updates. Not like the old days of a total nuke and pave when changing chipset. Last time I swapped a motherboard/CPU/RAM Windows just shook itself, installed a load of new drivers, rebooted and carried on as if nothing had happened. A fresh install is always nice though!

      I've been out of the PC game for a long time

      Ah, you're missing a lot of context everyone else here takes for ganted:

      Basically, the current GPU prices are about 2 or 3 times higher than where they should be, because we're still in the tail end of a once-in-a-lifetime crisis from COVID/crypto.

      GPU prices that were already a bit overpriced leading up to COVID went insane due to profitable cryptomining and people stuck at home. They were 3 to 5 times the price for years.

      Despite that all being over, manufacturers are trying to make the inevitable shift back to a natural price as slow as possible, to milk the suckers who outed themselves as gullible enough to pay ridiculous prices during the crisis.

      So if you've waited this long, you might want to wait.

      Nobody knows if prices will fall all the way back to the historical trend line, or whether that will take months, or even a year or two.

      But basic maths says they have to fall a lot more or the manufacturers lose most of their customers. That's not going to happen; NVIDIA and AMD are greedy, not stupid.

      This is a "bargain" only because it's the cheapest it's been since launch, but it's still around double what a card like this cost before the crisis.

      • Tyrx on 19/02/2023 - 15:13
        +2

        This is a "bargain" only because it's the cheapest it's been since launch, but it's still around double what a card like this cost before the crisis.

        That's really not true if we look at the launch prices of the xx80 cards.

        RTX 1080: A$925
        RTX 2080: A$1,199
        RTX 3080: A$1,139
        RTX 4080: A$1,659

        The 1080 was launched in 2016, so according to your logic we have been in a crisis for an awful long time. I'm sure if someone did the maths on inflation the pricing isn't nearly as egregious as you seem to think.

        • GandalfTheCheap on 19/02/2023 - 16:22

          Good point. But

          1. Those prices are MSRP, not what the cards were selling for a few months after launch (which is where we are with the 4080). Until the crisis, cards were often available for significantly less than MSRP, especially months after launch.

          2. If you look back a few more gens, it becomes clear that the 2080 (and to a lesser extent the 1080) were huge jumps in price, far above the trend line or inflation. NVIDIA were experimenting with higher prices (and the 2080 overpricing was such a failure that they actually reduced MSRP for the 3080 launch).

          So combining those factors, "double" probably gives a more accurate picture of what's really going on.

          20xx series was indeed in the first crypto boom and was priced outrageously.

          "Inflation" lately is mostly driven by corporate profits since wages aren't increasing and profits are up, so yeah it's not nvidia or retailers taking all that extra profit, the supply chain is too, but it's still disingenuous to sweep it under the rug as if the dollar value decreasing is just some immutable and predictable fact of life we merely accept and account for.

    $1899 suprim is actually insane

      • Dannyism on 19/02/2023 - 18:50

        What is the typical suprim price ?

          The price of a 4080 suprim is $2499 according to scorptec.

          Suprim is the strix equivalent for MSI, and has a great reputation for overclocking as well as noise.

          This means 4080s must not be moving fast enough at MSRP considering high end 4090 models, like the suprim, have never seen such a good sale.

          • Dannyism on 20/02/2023 - 09:37

            @muximus59: Thanks, yes by all accounts 4080s have not been selling.

            My budget is 1500 and have a 750w PSU so will probably try to pick up the cheapest possible card.

            • muximus59 on 20/02/2023 - 11:04

              @Dannyism: All 4080 cards will be doing amazing since they are reusing the cooler from the rtx 4090.

    How is this price even classified as a deal? This card has been sitting on $1799 for over a month now: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/752082

    Lots of deals on 4080's thanks to CentreCom this weekend

    The wording here and how enthusiastic the OP has been posting about every Centre Com's 4080 card in the post makes me wonder if he is affiliated with Centre Com….. Or maybe OP just never keeps track of the GPU price https://www.staticice.com.au/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=Rtx+4080+p…?

      This post is a deal for the same reason the PNY card was a deal, the graphics cards are on special.
      Having multiple options at the same price point gave buyers more choice for a higher boost clocked GPU.
      And FYI, the PNY deal you posted is no longer on sale either.

      Actually, no, I'm not affiliated with the store. Sorry for trying to put some effort into my post, next time I'll just cherry pick a single card deal out and ignore the rest.

        Thanks for the reply mate -
        Understand that you posted with a good intention, I don't think the last PNY post was a deal either. It wasn't anything special but just an ordinary vendor stock price.
        The PNY card can still be bought at $1799 as of this moment: https://www.mwave.com.au/product/pny-geforce-rtx-4080-tf-ver…

        As many people have said above, what classifies a deal for a 4080 card is when the price drops below $1499 or even lower. If people want to pay $1799 for this one right now, they can do it at any time throughout the day.

        The reason why I negged the post is because that the price point of $1799 is seen everyday at many stores, thus not a bargain. If people who don't know much about GPU prices see this post and think 1799 is a deal, they buy at this price, the vendor sees it and be laughing, as they think the demand has picked back up, and the price doesn't need to drop down further. They will HODL on their cards, and it is a loss in general to all the consumers waiting for a real bargain.

    Good to see RTX4080 being sold at MRSP in Australia but still needs to come down to $1500. It won’t happen anytime soon because 4070TI are being snapped up at $1400-$1500 which confirms people can’t wait for prices to drop.

    The market will continue to temp you at sub discounted high prices until 3xxx series is fully sold out and the rest of the 4xxx series is released

    Probably just testing the market, putting a handful of cards at a slightly tolerable price point to see at the sales. But they aren't selling out too fast. Don't give in boys! Make NVIDIA suffer! This isn't even a deal, they are still spitting in our faces.

      Totally agree. It was very tempting to just pay the extra $500 @ $1799-1999 because they had dropped the price by $300-500 from $2100-$2500.

      I reckon this is the first wave of 4080 cards that Retailers purchased at MSRP but couldn't sell to market in high volume at $2100-$2500.

      Nvidia will no doubt drop their prices on the next wave of stock and see how market reacts.

      HODLing strong here

    Placed an order early Sunday morning. They requested credit card verification by transferring a small amount to my account and asking for that exact amount, fair enough.

    Noticed that my order was stuck in the "Further Action" status, so reached out for what that could mean. Got an email stating:

    In order to validate this order, due to the value and risk indicators, we need to request the following information:

    • Obscured copy/photo of the card used showing last 3 digits and expiry date (doesn't need to be entire card shown/pictured).
    • One recent utility bill (power/water etc), rates bill, bank statement, or similarly acceptable document showing the purchaser's name and the shipping address.
    • Photo ID/Drivers License.

    We require ALL information above…

    We apologize for the inconvenience, however, due to the high risk of this order and no bank coverage we need additional information.

    What the hell is that all about? Are they trying to renew my passport or something? You'd be insane to hand over all that to any company.

    Asked to cancel and refund the order. The deal is "good", but it's not worth that.

      What the heck is this all about with Centre Com? That is the most absurd shopping experience ever!

      • KSinny on 21/02/2023 - 09:34

        I've bought from them many times and never had any bad experiences like this, not sure what's going on there.

        • nmur on 21/02/2023 - 11:01

          This was my first purchase from them so my account was brand new, which might be why.
