I'll preface by saying I was reluctant making this post as we all know the Super variants are launching soon (with the 4080S launching on the 31/1) and the smart thing to do is to wait for the launch and reviews before making a decision but hear me out…

Looking at the specs of the 4080S it seems like we might see a 5-7% improvement vs vanilla 4080 so really we're all waiting on the Super variant for the price cut and not the performance improvement. The US MSRP is $999 so doing a direct conversion and slapping on the GST we should expect to see the cards launch at ~$1650 however if you were to actually go on NV's website NV being NV have the Australian MSRP listed at $1870 which is trash. This makes me wonder what price the 4080S will actually be launching at in Australia especially with the usual limited supply at launch (and potentially moving forward due to supposedly supply issues with production capacity shifted towards AI). Now one might say well I'll just wait until the price and supply settles later in the year and see what the mid year sales are like however by that time we may be getting quite close to the launch of the 50 series and you might be back to waiting again. IMHO the Super variants only really makes sense if you're planning to snag one at/near launch.

I will say though the 4070 Ti Super does look like the card to get and may be the one to wait for if that's all the performance you need.

This is all hypothetical of course who knows the card may launch at $1500 and I am the idiot lol.

    CUDA cores and memory BUS are what you should be looking at.
    I wouldn't touch a non Super variant with a barge poll.
    Sure the prices are getting cheaper, but they're not worth it when you're getting boosts for the same TDPs.

    • basketballfreak6 on 14/01/2024 - 19:02
      +14

      For sure the 4070/Ti Super looks like solid gains but the 4080 is only gaining ~5% CUDA cores and literally 1-2% increase in boost speed which was why I thought we're probably only expecting to see that 5-7% actual gain.

      Again my bigger issue/concern was NV listing the Australian MSRP at $1870.

          +12

          Absolutely, I've been saying for a while now that limiting VRAM was NV's way of planned obsolescence.

          I think 4080S was basically NV's way of admitting they f@cked up with the pricing but even then they still find a way to screw us over in Australia lol…

          so it'll be $12,000 AUD + tax, import fees, shipping costs, AIB custom cooler cut, shop markups, scalper cuts, cryptocurrency volatility insurance, RGB lighting subscription, Jensen leather jacket tax, so we're looking at roughly $69,069 AUD.

          +2

          Yep I mentioned it in my opening post hence why I thought $1649/1599 price point's actually pretty solid considering what may well be very minor performance gain on the 4080.

          • Julius on 14/01/2024 - 19:27
            +1

            @basketballfreak6: The poll results are surprising. I didn’t think many people would hold out for the 4080 Super vs 4070 Ti Super. The extra CUDA cores and memory bus are pretty enticing. If people can hold out, surely there’d be an eBay discount code that could bring the 4080 Super closer to 1500 as we head nearer to EOFY.

            • basketballfreak6 on 14/01/2024 - 19:35

              @Julius: Yea man. I think if the 4080S launch at $1650 like it supposed to then for sure that's a no brainer but if base model really comes out at $1870 for that predicted ~5% performance increase then it's not worth the premium IMHO. Again agreed that the 4070Ti Super would be the one to wait for.

              These days I don't put too much hope getting a deal on eBay with graphics cards with all the price jacking that they do, though you do see the occasional ones that forget to price jack prior to sales lol.

        • Gamer Dad Reviews on 14/01/2024 - 20:01

          Nvidia can set whatever AUD MSRP they want but all they’re achieving is creating an opportunity for Geo-arbitrage.

          The converted JPY MSRP of these supers is even lower than the converted USD price - and there are many deals I’ve seen on ozb for Amazon Japan items being sold through Amazon Australia.

          If supply if good and demand doesn’t spike to the moon - it should be fairly routine for Australian buyers to pick up a 40 super card for around the converted USD MSRP imo

        Indeed, one year of PP is very generous. I'm super lucky to have gotten in before they grandfathered the price protection scheme a few years back.

        • basketballfreak6 on 14/01/2024 - 19:36

          That's dope, so I assume even when the current card expires the PP will carry over to the new card (since it's the same account)?

  • SirFaffer on 14/01/2024 - 19:26

    Hmmmm one of these or hold out for a super or hold out for a second hand one? Doesn't look like much more than 3% difference in games between the non super and the super.

    • basketballfreak6 on 14/01/2024 - 20:52
      +6

      That was me all of today bud lol.

      Spoiler alert I caved and got the Gaming X Slim.

      I upgraded to a 3440x1440 UW OLED last year and am finding the 3080 starting to struggle in some of the newer games so was waiting on the Super when it was rumoured to be better and cheaper. Obviously we know now that the 4080S' performance gain is probably going to be negligible so I was waiting on the price cut, then found out NV had the MSRP set at $1870 which sucks.

      I am also heading overseas for ~3 weeks early February so if I were to wait until the release of the Super I probably won't even look at picking up the card until March and judging by the AU MSRP I doubt we'll see the cards at $1650/1599, not to mention the Gaming X at least is mid tier and comes OC out of box higher than 4080S stock boost clocks. I like the aesthetics better than a lot of the base models as well.

      I figured if I get the card now I'll get to enjoy it for a few weeks before I fly not to mention I picked up a few new games during the sales; if I come back end of February to see that the price was no better/higher than the BPC Tech sale price or there is no stock I'll be pretty filthy and if I wait for sales later in the year I feel it'll be getting too close to 50 series release and I'd probably then end up HODL again.

      So that's my sh!tty justification on how weak minded I was after being strong for so long if that helps lol.

    The RRP of the RTX 4070 Ti Super is $1499. It also has 16MB less cache than the 4080.

      I don't think it does? You might be thinking of the 4070 Super being touted as having 36 MB instead of 48 like the OG 4070 Ti, but that was an error in the presentation.

      EDIT: I stand corrected, but it's also 75% of the cache for 82.5% of the SMs. Probably not a bottleneck given the VRAM.

      • jianh on 14/01/2024 - 21:03

        hey thanks for the quick reply. Seeing slim I'm guessing they trim the heatsink thickness hence suspecting the poorer cooling performance.

    • basketballfreak6 on 14/01/2024 - 21:13
      +4

      I think most if not all cards will be fine; one thing NV did well was efficiency and with the over-engineered coolers I don't think temps really get all that high and the fans don't really spin up that much (from what I've gathered anyway).

      Coil whine OTOH seems to be a hit/miss issue with a lot of these cards…especially ASUS seems to be more susceptible this round from what I've read around the interweb.

      I personally went with the Gaming X Slim by the way which comes out of box OC boost higher than stock 4080S boost clock.

    the super series will be 1500aud to 1600. The current nvidia website price says 4080 in Australia cost 2150, take their website pricing with s grain of salt.

    Jan 17 is the 4070 super launch at what nvidia says will be $1119. Perhaps some insight to post launch 4080 super pricing may be had by looking at what happens on Wednesday with the 4070 super!

    Too little too late. Still not low enough, id pay this if they did a 4080ti with ad102 and 20gb. For card though $1,300 if it was that price at launch. This far into this gen though..

    $1,000 or less lol ill keep waiting the 5000 series. This gen was a massive fail and Amd wasnt much better

      AMD continuing to sniff glue while NVIDIA is asleep at the wheel is one of the biggest fumbles in tech history.

        the xtx orginally seemed promising when the price was announced when it was implied it wouldnt be too far off the 4090 but it wasnt close at all lol. Being a direct 4080 competitor instead they should have been much more agressive but instead followed behind nvidia with the ridiculous pricing lol. Amd keep on fumbling

      Was also hanging out for a 4080ti with AD102 but it seems that's basically what the RTX4090D is. SAD
