There was a very limited offer on here a week or two back… so it's definitely not impossible!
If you get a Ti for $1000 when I paid $1400 two months ago then we definitely know Nvidia are desperate to clear stock
So many places charge a surcharge for card payments, why do only Computer Alliance deal titles say "+ surcharge" in them?
I've seen Centrecom and Shopping Express also have the "+surcharge" in title too.
Should be included in all deals that are effected by surcharges
If it's not there then the poster forgot or didn't know and you should report to have a moderator add itI have paid a few times with the credit card in store and Computer Alliance has never charged me any additional surcharge.
They have also been good warranty handling wise, had a few warranty cases with them.
Is this worth it from a gtx1080?
Yeah I say it would be. I'm looking to even upgrade from my 3070 to a 4070.
It depends on your use case.
I have just upgraded my monitor to 1440p with 165hz refresh rate so I'm just chasing high and consistent FPS.
Thanks! And thanks to the below commenters. I think I might run my 1080 into the ground as it can handle most things for now.
Im in the exact same boat as you and thinking the same thing
it can handle most things for now.
If it does what intended then wait. I have the same and it handles many titles well.
If you are on a 1080P monitor absolutely no point. Manageble even at 1440P with a little tweaking.
Performance diff isn't worth it from a 3070 to a 4070 imo. At the very least a 4070 Ti/7900XT.
Yeah I'm thinking of a 4070 ti. But will definitely be waiting for some bigger price drops.
It's like double+? The relative performance.
The benchmark ranking charts give a good enough approximation of how the different models compare at different resolutions - https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-hierarchy,4388.html
It's a worthy upgrade (performance wise) but depends if you can justify the price?
I'm looking to upgrade from a GTX 1070 and had ordered the MSI 4070 Ventus 2x that for most of us got cancelled. For me a fairly decent price for the 4070 is about $650, just can't bring myself to spend $900 on a xx70's card.
Will wait it out till the end of the year and then decide, hopefully by then the prices have come down by a couple hundred dollars. Wishful thinking though.
Will be interesting to see how Nvidia go at their AGM on the 22nd June.
Yeah same boat as you. If I see a decent 4 series card around the $650 I'll give it some serious consideration. That being said I honestly am chugging along fine with my 1080 Ti still so I should be fine holding off for another year easily.
only upgrade when you actually have a good enough reason. the price isnt going back up for sure, so the longer the wait the cheaper.
Nah the memory bus is gimped. Ok for 1080p but for higher resolutions get 3080/6800xt
Keep in mind that if your CPU is pretty old you may not see any improvement. I was on a 1060 3gb which I was considering upgrading, ended up upgrading the CPU early, and got significant framerate improvements. Turned out it was never running at its full potential because of the CPU. (a 4690 I think).
If you have a 1080 gtx like me, then you probably have an older CPU as yeah I'm assuming.
If you jump on this, yes the FPS will be incredible but at the same time, your CPU will be holding you back from its full potential.
I think I'd upgrade only if I got a new CPU as well to take full advantage of it.
Or… you could upgrade now and CPU later lol.
Personally I'd rather do it all in one go.
I’m in the same boat and found this article interesting:
https://www.tomshardware.com/features/nvidia-geforce-rtx-308…
Tldr; the higher resolution you gave at the less important your olds cpu becomes.
Should be normal price $850
This card is on par with 6800 xtNah xx70 tier cards should be 799 msrp or bust, lower during sales.
That’s where the 4060ti 16gb will be.. so buckleys chance of this getting price adjusted once the 3 4060 /ti models are released.
Best GPU / deal rn for $800-1k budget?
Depends how you look at it, 6800xt with similar performance more VRAM but less power efficient and less feature has been cheaper last year. Others competitors include 4070 ti, 6950xt ect during special is comparable to this deal.
To me, all GPU is overpriced atm.6800xt has more features (256 bit bus and 128mb infinity cache). The 4070 is 192 bit and no infinity cache (same as 3060 non ti). It's a 60 series besides the core.
I saw the expired $642~ 4070 RTX deal from few days ago. Missed but I would have for sure pulled the trigger on that. I still rock a 1060 and have been holding for ages that I just forgot about upgrading lol. Guess I'll wait for a similar deal.
used 6800 16gb for $500
spend the rest getting a good monitor. you'll need it
Trying to decide if it's worth grabbing one of these for D4, then selling my 3070ti. If I can get $400 for my 3070ti, then it's roughly a $400 change over, less if I can get more for my old card.
Or just buy D4 and skip a gen as I normally do.
Man I really miss the 2010's.
3070ti will get you around 90-120 FPS in 2k resolution. People play fine even on 1660 so you don’t need to upgrade just for D4.
Also, 3070ti are around $500 currently.Mine's a Gainward variant, so most people wouldn't pay the same as a cars from a more known brand.
I'm happy with my performance l. My thought process was that I was going to buy D4 anyway, just doing the mental gymnastics wether it's worth upgrading as I would be "saving" the $109.95.
Probably just stick with what I've got, unless there's a good sale between now and the end of the promo.
Bro I still have a gtx1080 and I wouldn't get this.
I'm thinking 12gb vram won't last long.
feel the same, i got the 3080 10G, so regret about it since i started VR, 10G in vr is like 8G ram for a pc nowadays………..
Bro, I have a 1080G1. Bought it in 2016. Has been running strong ever since. In the games I play, War Thunder, HOI4, etc, etc, it doesn't skip a beat at 1440p. Heck, even got Cyberpunk running okay with it. Only looking at upgrading now that I have a 5800X3D on the way.
I ran the beta D4 at 4K with DLSS using my 3060 and it was between 80-120 fps on my TV … No drops even in some of the particle heavy boss fights… D4 should run fine on most cards based on that experience… Just have to adjust the res/detail… in saying that i think you'd want a card that will be ok for many years to come and 12gig vram is minimum right now … Might be worth waiting and seeing how much the 4060ti 16 gig will be or the AMD rival to it.
That's not going to happen again anytime soon plus alot of those orders got cancelled
OzBargain way mate - that's the benchmark price now.
Went out of stock because it was a popular deal. This won't go out of stock because it is not a deal.
The fact they cancelled most the orders would suggest it was an unintentional good deal.
This deal is still on, MSI 4070 for $888, https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/774760
I bought it after the Amazon UK deal was cancelled.Why is this one getting more love? The $888 MSI one is still available. Ordered it a couple of days ago
$11 more for an extra fan maybe :)
I cant believe a 70 series card getting upvoted like crazy at these prices. Bring the Ti to 1K and will speak.
Gamers are probably the most desperate consumers I've ever seen (worse than the property fomo after it already boomed).
They're just happy to have a new shiny card. Also most are beta (high prices may genuinely give them the same effect as throwing money at a dominatrix). I definitely wouldn't rule it out.
I mean it's highly unnatural not to be outraged at the current market situation. Something is up world views wise. I've noticed some outrage at specifically the 4080 which made me laugh (apparently that seems to be their line and there was no writing on the wall before then).
Or maybe they're just richer than you with less reliability like family or mortgage, since you know, gaming is a privileged thing
Shrug
Yawn. They're not though. My house went up more than gpu's ever will and I also know people on youth allowance with the 4090.
It's not a status symbol (it is for a 15 year old). Buying an expensive gpu is like buying a plasma tv 10 years ago. It's fake insecure rich. Go buy a house in Eastern Melbourne/'Sydney if you want to feel rich (or upper middle class), don't brag about how a ripoff gpu represents wealth lol. I can't find any prestige/quality in them either. The BFG/evga 10 years ago were nice, but they're all mass produced junk with bakerlite plastic shrouds and lower grade copper. The sapphires are still decent build quality but still cheap materials. Even a strix is junk materials compared to say Noctua. GPU's have been cut down quality wise a lot the past 15 years. Now materials are at bottom next step is cutting the ram and pci lanes, all whilst raising prices.
@Jimmy77: How you know though?
What if I tell you I own several property outright from generational wealth with zero debt and I'm a gamer that think this price range is pretty decent considering inflation from COVID money printing, is that not plausible?
If not, what make your claim of your property any more believable?
One think Lotus cars are expensive for the build, another think it's worth the thrill. I don't see anything wrong with liking thrill if you can afford it. Is there? :/
Sorry but I just sense a lot of sour grape from you that's all.
@Menzoberranzan: i think those who negged my comment are more worked up. Gone from this fantasy of feeling rich and special to realizing anyone can afford one. There's also nothing special about submissing to whatever jensuang charges. It's like breaking bad, charge whatever they want for the blue stuff and gamers will just nod their head.
In terms of flexing wealth, this is literally like all those 50 inch plasmas in Werribee back in 2010. Everytime I've posted the 4080/90 is a ripoff an upvoter always says the same thing "you must be poor" "or "they clearly must be rich if they can buy a 4090". Obviously all these immature upvoters are tech obssessed teenagers. Plasma tv's were like $4000 back then, those people are twice as wealthy as these apparently wealthy 4090 buyers.
Upgrading every gen is their drug of choice. There's no wealth flex or pride in that! Obviously it's foolish and they're too hooked on gaming/tech to even care.
These are absolutely not deals. Nvidia is succeeding in making you think sub RRP is a deal when they launch at absurd prices. Wake up
Yeah, I completely agree with you.
your fav buddies AMD arent doing anything to stop them either
I like how their flagship 5700xt was $500 and now their flagship is like $2000.
Also had a driver timeout on my 6600xt last night. Absolute garbage card that should still be a prototype. (watch their gestapo jump on this for calling it out as garbage)
You can't even send the report to AMD without spending 5 minutes to fill it out. Obviously they get a lot of these reports
AMD has reduced their stupid pricing on 7900xt as well, this isn't limited to Nvidia.
nice find! bring on the Ti for $1000 :)
