GIGA-3080-LAUNCH

Party like it's 1995! Kicking off RTX 3080 season with high spec systems through our partnership with Gigabyte, starting at $1998 with the Ryzen 5 3600.

Ryzen 5 3600 or Ryzen 7 3700X | Gigabyte RTX 3080 10GB Gaming PCs: $1998 and $2188 after GIGA-3080-LAUNCH

Here's how allocation works:

  • Limited quantity of Gigabyte Eagle OC cards arriving in September (scheduled for next week)
  • Limited quantity of Gigabyte Gaming OC cards arriving in September (scheduled for next week)
  • More stock is arriving in October for both. Once the "September" cards in the Graphics Card section are marked as sold out on the website, you can purchase the October variants, and your system will ship as soon as they come in.

It is strictly first come, best dressed, no holdsies.

Godspeed.

    Anyone else do what I did and upgrade to a 5900x ?

      Yeah I did. Somehow went from a 3600 to a 5900x…

      • Flow220 on 13/11/2020 - 16:56

        good call, i would have done the same thing. but really didn't want to wait any longer…settled for 5600x instead =x

        • n00btastic on 13/11/2020 - 17:05

          They may still have some in stock, if yours hasn't been built already? I only upgraded this morning and they apparently still had stock then.

          • n00btastic on 13/11/2020 - 20:45

            @n00btastic: They said they had stock? That's good then I upgraded last Sunday I believe and my gpu should be in stock seeing as others have posted that ordered after me saying there been shipped ! Fingers crossed early next week 😁

    I dont think its good customer service that we have to scroll through a third party website to get an update. I ordered my system from techfast they should email me if there are delays. Only emails I get seem very generic and only reply to my email. I hope they read this and improve communication with customers.

  • Stevil One on 14/11/2020 - 00:22

    They called these cards October cards. Maybe October maybe early November cards would of been a better description. We are now well into November. I was expecting my system delivered in October. Not this.

    • cheapaschips on 14/11/2020 - 08:29
      +1

      Agreed. Bait advertising to get the initial orders with no guarantee on cards in either month ever known by Techfast. (but have happily taken everyone's money)

      Maybe I'll start up a deal for PS5 deliveries in November/ December and watch the orders fly in while I end up sending the stock in January/Feb 21.

      Oh don't forget the "restocking" fee I'll charge while I hold all your money

      I say just let anyone cancel who wants to and let us move on with our Techfast free lives.

      • Overtime2000 on 14/11/2020 - 08:31

        They already offered full refunds with no restocking fee due to delays

        • cheapaschips on 14/11/2020 - 08:34

          Only certain October orders. Not for November orders which will be inevitably delayed due to the fact October is being fulfilled in mid November ..

          Not your fault as once again unclear communication from Techfast. When Luke initially mentioned orders could be cancelled it was made to sound like all of them. But recently he advised only "fee free cancellation"(sounds silly just saying it) for late October orders.

          • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 14/11/2020 - 11:51
            +4

            @cheapaschips: We're not here to keep anyone's money and not deliver anything. After 3 years selling PCs here, I reckon we've earned that reputation. The delays are not of our doing, and we've acted precisely in accordance with advice from manufacturersand suppliers. If you want to cancel your order, from any date, please email [email protected] referencing this note.

            • cheapaschips on 14/11/2020 - 14:32

              @luketechfast: Thank you for the reply but you still are not being transparent when all October or November orders will be fulfilled so people can make informed decisions about cancelling.

              Also appreciate the offer to cancel but that only fixes the issue for one affected customer(the one asking you the tough questions )

              Will you allow anyone wishing to cancel do so without any additional fee.

              • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 14/11/2020 - 16:31
                +2

                @cheapaschips: I think we have been transparent in that there is no fixed date. It's as soon as possible after the cards arrive. We've said this the whole way through. I've said in my posting and in email correspondence to customers that if there's not currently an incoming card for their system, we're expecting the second half of November for both October and November cards, and that we're constantly pushing suppliers every day, and if you want to cancel, you can do so. I understand people want specifics, but there are no specifics. I understand we send out relatively generic information. The information we get from both manufacturers and suppliers is generic, and often turns out to be incorrect because manufacturing happens overseas and no one here has any control, and things change, cards get reallocated or taken out of distribution in favour of another entire country. We've stopped saying we expect them this week even if a distributor tells us they're coming, because it's turned out not to happen numerous times. Until we get physical tracking on cards that updates, we don't say anything. I understand people want their PC, but if we give out information that I haven't been given just to get people off our case, it's lying, and it causes more problems. We've only ever passed on info we've been given.

                As for cancellations, October cards are delayed, November cards are not delayed, and we're hopeful supply will improve so that they won't be delayed. I don't personally think customers should cancel due to the broader stock situation, and of course we want to keep the order because we've committed tens of thousands of dollars in stock for these orders, but if they want to, as we've said they can.

                If I muddied the waters about November order cancellations, I apologise. The no restocking fee applies to any 3080 order.

                • cheapaschips on 14/11/2020 - 18:56

                  @luketechfast: Thanks for the update. So to confirm at this stage you expect 100% of October and November orders to be fulfilled by end of November with 3080 stock?

                  • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 14/11/2020 - 20:35

                    @cheapaschips: Cards arriving and systems dispatching are two different things. If cards arrive November 30, that can't happen. It does feel like you're trying to corner me into s definitive statement I just can't make. I sell PCs mate, I'm not a politician.

                    • cheapaschips on 14/11/2020 - 22:03
                      +1

                      @luketechfast: Definitely not my intention. To clarify, I said fulfilled not dispatched..I understand your constraints and time required to build and test. Apologies for any confusion.

                      My query was simply the 3080 order requirement for all October and November will be fulfilled by end of November

                      With build and dispatch thereafter.

                      If that is the case I can assure you the majority reading this will breathe a sigh of relief.

                +2

                @cheapaschips: Techfast isn't a 'greedy' company no matter how hard you try to flame them… retailers like shopping express sells single gigabyte 3080s at 1800 (pre-order price too), there's also mwave's founder edition lottery, PLE's overselling… If you really dislike techfast, just cancel your order and buy from some where else, SE has eagle in stock for 1750.

                There are plenty of people who waited almost 2 months for their pcs, and i think techfast is already doing pretty well given the situations. i don't think you are being fair to them=\

                • PediatricLemon on 14/11/2020 - 17:40

                  @Flow220: I agree! I've been super frustrated with the whole process, but I really can't be mad at TechFast. They have been as transparent as they can be, and although I initially was a little annoyed at them, I've definitely come to realise that they have done their best in a shitty situation. Absolutely nothing to do with the delay is their fault, yet they have said people can cancel with no penalty if they wish. That's pretty good customer service if you ask me. I'm still waiting on an October 3080 and I'm going to keep waiting. You could cancel and buy one somewhere else, but then you are likely paying $1800 for just the card, when you could get the whole system for only a couple hundred more here. Sometime bargain hunting means being patient unfortunately! Fingers crossed for a late November arrival of my system.

                • cheapaschips on 14/11/2020 - 18:18

                  @Flow220: I am not flaming anyone here. Infact I already have a Techfast PC with a 3080 that I am content with and I'm following up orders for my friends colleagues who I referred to buying from Techfast due to my previous positive experience.

                  What I am doing is holding a retailer accountable for when I feel the customer is not being shared the full story or the options available when problems arise aren't sufficient and in best interest of the customer.

                  I have no Ill will against any retailers.I simply respond to situations as I see them. I work in a similar industry so I know what I would accept from my business in these situations.

    Huge shout out to tech fast on doing good work ! Despite the wait that isn't their fault it's the suppliers, that's been the only issue ! Always helpful when asking questions, working on weekends reply to emails to ensure we get the quickest updates possible and offering great deals ! Can't fault them on not having specific dates and ETA times when they themselves wouldn't even have them !

    Cheers guys cya Monday ✌️

      Are you saying they don't get advanced shipping notice from deliveries from China? (Which takes 2-4 weeks depending on origin including clearance and delivery) .

      Surely you don't think stock just turns up magically at there door and they just pay the invoice ….

      Logically they should be able to give a forecast at least 2-4 weeks in advance if not more (as supplier would confirm shipment stock and purchase order acceptance prior to sending)

    Package 1 of 2 arrived today at my place in Perth, it was the PC, which is great. However, I ordered a wifi dongle and that wasn't with the PC. I am hoping it is in the second package, which Auspost still lists as being in Adelaide.

    Can anyone else confirm if this was their experience?

    • nascent on 15/11/2020 - 14:50

      Same for me, but waiting for package 2 of 2 also. To clarify, I got the wifi motherboard X570 but the antennae did not come in the first package (the PC).

    Spent the weekend playing around with the PC. Only experienced a few issues, only one that might be the computer's fault though.

    Hopped in to Minecraft RTX, played around in the map a bit, hopped out and went into another world and the computer just shut off. Not sure why and it has only happened once.

    Other than that works very well with anything thrown at it. Getting 125-150fps in Warzone, 60fps (capped, couldn't find a setting to uncap it) in Minecraft RTX. VR works like a dream now coming from a 980 which was struggling.

    Also: the pre-installed windows on the SSD is Windows 10 Home, if you have another type of windows (e.g. Pro) already connected to your MS account you have to reinstall windows to get it to activate.

    • chuckallstarz on 16/11/2020 - 10:05

      • Flamexio on 16/11/2020 - 13:48

        That was the first thing I ever did on the PC. The shut down happened after I had installed the drivers. It's only happened once so I'm not stressing about it. I think it was probably a minecraft issue.

        Ordered it unassembled cause initially I wanted to use my old case although I've had to rethink that.

        The case box is rather light so I assume the second package is the components.

      Which game are you referring to and what GPU did you get?

      • CrazyDragon on 17/11/2020 - 19:54

        They are referring to the COD promotion.

        • Flamexio on 17/11/2020 - 23:19

          Well the T&C's only count the first day of being valid for the promotion as being the day it is dispatched or received or something like that (pretty sure first day of dispatch). NexERO should be good as long as the dispatch day was after the 30th.

            @Flamexio: It's pretty irritating that the invoice date is the order date. Invoices are usually generated when an order is released / invoiced. I got my check number but now I have to get Luke to alter my invoice date to reflect the date it was shipped, not when the order was placed as I'm certain they'll reject my claim.

            1. In order to make a valid redemption, the customer must fill out the request form and upload a clear picture of the purchase invoice with the invoice date that qualifies for this promotion campaign period. The pick-up date is not involved when to redeem the game code.

            Also Techfast doesn't come under their list of authorised resellers (unless they're using a different business name?)

            1. International shipping does not include in this promotion. The promotion is only valid via purchase through local eligible reseller: https://www.gigabyte.com/Buy#,,1-0,1-0,1-0

            Not getting my hopes up for a code.

              @Nyclix: I just got my check number from Gigabyte eSupport but the form is saying my selection of graphics card model is wrong haha. Any luck? There's definitely a condition in the T&Cs which says first day of dispatch is the "purchase date". But the authorised reseller might be the nail in the coffin. We'll see…

              • Nyclix on 20/11/2020 - 15:23

                @Flamexio: Nah I just emailed them and it definitely says invoice date must be between those certain dates. Unless Luke is going to change the invoice date to dispatch date ( as it should be ) we aren't getting the game.

                • NexERO on 20/11/2020 - 15:27

                  @Nyclix: Yeah the store isn't listed.
                  Has anyone confirmed they got watch dogs legion from the previous promo?

                • Flamexio on 20/11/2020 - 17:27

                  @Nyclix: I've put the application in anyway. If they want more proof I'll send them the official email confirmation of it being sent on the 30th of october. If that doesn't work I'll get on to TF

              • HomeAlone on 20/11/2020 - 16:20

                @Flamexio: Based on the description of this deal I would assume TechFast is an authorised reseller.

      After pleading with them, AMD support just extended my AC:Valhalla code expiry for next 3 days with a note "PLEASE NOTE WHILE SUPPLIES LAST"

        Just your code or all codes?
        edit: Tested it, just your code then.

          Case by case. They denied me at first but I kept asking like some other commenters and it worked

    • thisisnotakn on 18/11/2020 - 01:44

      Did they give you the CoD code? I only got an expired AC code with mine
