It says “leaves our partner warehouse in …”
This reddit thread warns that “partner warehouse” means major delays:
https://www.reddit.com/r/bapcsalesaustralia/comments/1irzydm…I missed out last night and ended up going through JW… I can say that last night i was able to add 39 to my cart successfully and this morning I checked again and was only able to add 16 - hopefully that means they have correctly allocated stock.
Time will tell if I get shafted.
Save $130 for a 2 month wait. Pretty good if it doesn’t get delayed more.
Although technically this isn't in stock this is how it compares to others with todays in stock prices that I could find overnight. 27% better value than the 5070ti!

Not bad, won't fit my case being tripple slot.. oh well!
the price that seems to be staying in stock right now is the Gigabyte at $1349 at pccg, scorptech, centrecom etc, which is only 10% better value than the 5070ti.
which is better ? this one or 5080?
Isn't the naming convention of the card obvious enough as to what it's targeting?
Yes and no. AMD have horrible naming of their cards, you gotta admit that.
Undeniably the 5080 is better, but at over 2x the price, you would expect it to be at least twice as good, which it isn’t.. Check my link above for a comparison
Don't we kind of expect some diminishing returns in 2025, or ..?
In the past people used to be happy to pay 2x for a 40% bump.
1k+ even accounting for currency inflation for midrangers is already steep and puts 5080 out of reach for many, but if its what you do a lot/semi professionally..I pay 30x more for a table tennis rubber that's only 2x as good.
Sure, and I think toa certain point the 2x/40% thing was understandable, but the 5080 is like 2.5x the price of a 9070xt for 15% performance bump.
That's a shitty deal no matter how you slice it.
Depends on the price of the 5080, the resolution you want to play at, the game you want to play, and the frame rate you expect…
if the 5080 does what you need and the 9070 does not, then price may not matter…If they both outdeliver what you need, then the price / performance ratio matters.. Personally I do not buy any card north of about $1100, ever.
I'm playing minecraft on a $700 6800XT and it's plenty overkill at 1440P / 120FPS for example
This one is like 3990 better if we go by number /s
This is more closely linked to a 5070 Ti. This card is probably the best price/power. The truth is the Nvidia card will have some exclusive options you won't be able to use (DLSS) and will have better ray tracing support, however this card has it's own exclusive "FSR 4" which will go head to head against Nvidia. As a responsible computer owner, it's definitely worth researching into these things and finding out if it's right for you! FWIW if I was in your position of requiring a new card, I'd personally go with this as the competition is like double the price.
Prices seem to be inline with RRP if the base brand is $599 in US, and "partner cards" typically $50 more, isn't that about $1,130 ~ adding delivery or included?
Either way, plays around 10% under a 5070Ti , which is about $1400… so they nailed the pricing for performance pretty well.All sellers seem to be saying 1st May though. I can wait.
95% of 5070Ti’s performance at only 60% of its price—great value!
Word on the street is AMD offered rebates to all wholesalers, so after this initial batch is out, prices to rise ~USD50 across all units
yeh that's what they are saying but Azor also said MSRP cards will be resupplied … i don't really believe it and i'm fairly certain they want the $1399-1449 to be the norm (at least the AIB and retailers do).
the rebate exists to account for the inflated price aibs and stores paid for the cards. amd can continue selling at the new price by selling the gpus themselves to their partners at a lower cost later. at least that makes sense to me
is this good for 1440p 480Hz ?
or should I get Ngreedia GPU
480Hz? Get the 5070 TI
yep, got the new monitor from OzB deal like weeks ago.
should I go for 5080 instead? or 5070 ti is better value?
What games do you play?
FPS games like Valorant, Warzone. also games like Minecraft w/shader. I wanna try Bodycam one tho when I buy new gpu.
dont play AAA games much, but I dont need 480 fps when I play AAA.
OOS. Actually had it in cart and “reserved” but got nuked before I could finish. Not pleased.
I think it does let you reserve but it broke for you? It was out of stock on my end then suddenly in stock so I might have got your card 😞. I'm sorry
OOS :(
I think I just got the last one
Man I'm glad I grabbed my 7900GRE a few months ago at $860, this whole gen has been a disaster..
Same! I was thinking I was gonna regret buying early but now I am extremely glad. GPU prices are ridiculous now
Yeah it boggles my mind a bit, growing up I had a GTX760 for like 9 years, then a 1660ti for 4-5 years and I then went 6700XT -> 7900GRE. Price wise this GRE would have been the absolute top dog if I went back to those past generations and now we're looking at $1100 or so for cards that are just over mid-range or above the lowest tier (xx60 series?)
You used to be able to build beast budget PC's that were much better than consoles for not that much more money than a console and now just the GPU costs twice as much as the consoles. I think the golden era's long gone..
Seems like everything's being run into the ground these days…
I consider the 70 series pretty upper mid tier. But the fact that 60 series cards are likely going to probably cost 800 - 900 (as much as the GRE was) is ridiculous. And there's a real possible chance they will be bad value.
I hope Intel keeps pushing in the budget department (but Intel as a company isn't really looking great atm). AMD also should have undercut the 5070 with their 9070, but now they're both just not great value.
Still like in stock at Centrecom for $1,199

Not XT
My bad

Still in stock for anyone who missed out on the Pulse
Now that stock is mostly out everywhere else, this might be a good valued option (if they follow through). I can’t see prices dropping anytime soon with such demand. Worst case you could cancel and get your money back. I’m on a 980ti, I can wait another month 😆
