The evga Aussie store has the 3060 xc listed for $579 aud Which is the same card pbtech put up for $849 NZD. Sure gst, shipping etc all add on to the cost but there is still a health mark up on the card.

Nope, nothing in the evga Aussie store is currently in stock.

 

However it does give a good indication to what evga rrp is for aus.

 

Usually we never know what retailers/manufactures wholesale price as they keep that close to the chest.

 

I understand retail mark up too, got to keep the store running, lights on, wages etc.

By all reports that particular EVGA is the only card available for US$330. The vast majority are US$500+

Interesting to see what the prices here will be. 3080's are going for around $2200-$2500 or so. It's absolutely wild.

 

 

Decided to get a prebuilt from Computer Lounge back in December. It was the only way to get a 3080, and I had to go with a 5900x cpu because they didn't have models with the 5600x at that time (none with a 3080 anyway), which was my initial choice. It probably cost a little bit more because of that, and I was wary of prebuilts (I also enjoy the building process) but its turned out a good decision I think.

 

 

I remember checking the price of the card I got with the system - it was a gigabyte oc 3080 card - and its way more expensive now. A TI is going to be even more expensive and probably immediately out of stock. And I read recently its only going to get worse. I've both spent more money than I intended, but also saved money by jumping in early haha.

I am hoping the 3080 is going to be discontinued to ease supply for the new cards, if both the 3080 Ti and 3070 Ti end up having GDDR-6X it could be an even bigger disaster than the 3080 launch lol.

It's also about how well the fabs are going and the resulting binning of the GPU core... 

 

 

 

Also very glad I grabbed an EVGA FTW Ultra 3080 in November, was cheap as now in comparison!

Resizable Bar update is now widely available. Updated my card with no issues, but seems some people have had issues when CSM is enabled in the BIOS

Computer Lounge got some stock of 3080's, at the low price of $2600. What a joke the prices of these cards have inflated to.

nVidia confirms 2 new workstation cards to add to the current A6000 48GB. Likely to be officially announced in May together with the 3080 / 3070 Ti launch.

 

A series stats

 

The A4000 actually looks pretty good to a 3D artist like me who needs VRAM, assuming it actually held that price lol. A bummer it would only be as fast as a 3070 though... which still renders faster than a Titan RTX, so it wouldn't be a bad upgrade from a GTX 1070 😂 IMO this card was probably the recently rumored 3070 Ti 16GB variant, so there will only be an 8GB 3070 Ti.

 

The A5000 would get crushed by a 3090 for the same money, so unless needing double precision like Solidworks or something, seem utterly pointless.

If the 3080ti does exist that card is gonna cost a fair bit if current 3080 prices are anything to go by, local prices are now floating around 3090 launch prices.
