Hardware pricing in Australia
Used 3090s ~AUD 1,100. 4090s ~AUD 2,500. Mac Studios available.
Our note on this market reads: Premium pricing. Premium pricing shifts the calculation toward buying once: a card with more memory than you need today costs less than replacing an undersized one in a market where nothing is cheap.
| GPU | Used 2026 | New 2026 |

| RTX 3090 (24GB) | ~AUD 1,085 | Rare new |
| RTX 4090 (24GB) | ~AUD 2,480 | ~AUD 3,100 |
| Mac Studio M4 Max (36GB) | — | ~AUD 3,720 |
Converted from US dollar reference prices at approximate mid-2026 rates (AUD 1.55 to the dollar), then cross-checked against the local note above. Import duty, VAT and shipping are not included and are the largest source of error in several markets. Mac Studios typically have a single uniform global price.
Regional models
We have not recorded any model trained or evaluated specifically for Australia. That is a gap in our data rather than a statement that none exists, so the honest recommendation here is a general multilingual model from the catalogue rather than a regional one we cannot name.
Recommended setup for Australia
For most users in Australia, we recommend starting with a used RTX 3090 (24GB) at AUD 1,085, or a Mac Studio with M4 Max (36GB) at AUD 3,720 new. The full reasoning is in the hardware requirements guide and the RTX 3090 value writeup.
