RYZEN-3070-LAUNCH

Party like it's 1788! (might as well stick with theme).

We've again partnered with Gigabyte to bring a high spec system to the table for RTX 3070 launch, featuring Ryzen 5, 7 or 9 CPUs, Aorus Elite B550 motherboard, 16GB 3200MHz RAM, 480GB 2.5" SSD and 650W 80+ Bronze PSU (in line with recommended 650W PSU for 3070), and 3 variants of the 3070.

AMD Ryzen / RTX 3070 8GB Gaming PCs: from $1788 after RYZEN-3070-LAUNCH

  • AMD Ryzen 5 3600, Ryzen 7 3700X or Ryzen 9 3900X processor
  • Gigabyte Eagle RTX 3070 8GB - upgrades to the Galax SG 1-Click OC and MSI Ventus (3X OC for first batch offered here), model may vary after replenish) available
  • Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite ATX motherboard (various upgrades available)
  • 16GB 3200MHz RAM (brand/model may vary)
  • 480GB 2.5" SSD (brand/model may vary)
  • Gigabyte P650B 650W 80 Plus Bronze power supply - upgrades to 750W 80+ Gold (model has been Giga P750G for a while and is still in stock, but may vary to equivalent model in peak times), and Giga Aorus AP850GM 850W 80 Plus Gold (will be this one).
  • MSI MAG Forge 100R case (others available)

To the all important questions of stock: NVIDIA fully acknowledged their issues and shortages with RTX 3080 launch, so postponed launch of 3070 by two weeks to ensure supply. We have these cards arriving in the first weeks of November and systems will be built ASAP thereafter. Our allocations are good, but not unlimited, and suppliers have said 3070 sales have outpaced 3080 sales at launch, so be quick.

Existing 3080 Orders: If you do want to swap into one of these, you will need to email us at [email protected] so we can apply a credit, and repurchase, as we can't simply swap orders - it makes stock management too difficult. I can't offer guarantees on holding stock or response times though either, as we will be getting a lot of enquiries.

Zen 3 Upgrades: If you're looking to upgrade to a Zen 3 CPU, which is not available for sale or public upgrade pricing info yet (we checked), but don't want to miss out on 3070 stock, please add a Note in the orders field during checkout: HOLD BUILD FOR ZEN 3 UPGRADE PRICING, and we'll let you know on release (November 5). This applies to existing 3080 orders - if you want Zen 3 for your 3080, email [email protected] ASAP, as systems are shipping daily.

3080 Order Updates: October cards have been arriving in small batches due to NVIDIA's manufacturing shortages throughout October, but most have come late in the month and are currently on the way to us. I'd expect a good chunk of Giga and MSI October customers to receive shipping notification today and next week, with Galax next week too. Hang in there!

Have at it.

Luke

      interesting i have some view of the distributor pricing (and the distributor is usually retailer pricing minus gst if that makes sense so not a cheap distributor) and the cheapest is actually the Ventus (non OC) at around $890inc gst … but some of the cards being listed by PCCG or CA are easily marked up by about $100-120 which is quite a high margin i would have thought… only Umart has some cheaper options via innod3d .. base model coming in at $809 … at this stage i dare say the 3070 is probably over priced by about $100-150 and in some cases $200 ..

        TechFast builds come with Windows 10 preinstalled. It's free and you will have a watermark on the lower right party of the screen unless you activate a license. Aside from the watermark and some limitations in desktop customisation (can't set wallpaper), it's all perfectly usable.

      Looking at the prices of the different parts used in this and the 3080 build, the 3080 build seems to offer way better value.

      3070 Build ($1788) 3080 Build ($1995)
      Motherboard $229 Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite $219 Gigabyte B550 Gaming X
      Video Card $969 Gigabyte Eagle RTX 3070 8GB $1399 Gigabyte Eagle RTX 3080 10GB
      Power Supply $91 Gigabyte P650B 650W 80 Plus Bronze $149 Gigabyte P750GM 750W 80 Plus Gold Modular
      $1289 $1767

      With the 3080 you're paying only $207 extra for parts worth $478 more.

      DLSS 2.0, RTX voice, RTX though.

      • Nyclix on 30/10/2020 - 13:23

        Yep RTX and DLSS are big ones.

        • Adoses on 30/10/2020 - 14:10
          +10

          AMD has ray tracing. In fact, their version of ray tracing will likely be better optimised because the RX 6000 series is the same architecture that is used in the new consoles.

          AMD has also promised a DLSS competitor soon after launch, but I would be skeptical of that.

          If I have to pick between the RTX 3070 and RX 6800 (15% faster and double the VRAM) at $1000, I would probably go with AMD.

          Definitely wait at least a month though to make sure their aren't any major driver issues.

            @Adoses: 16GB ram is the elephant in the room. It is going to matter when playing high ris games.
            I think Nvidia will have no choice but dropping the price to compete.

            • blewey on 30/10/2020 - 17:22

              @bbcw1980: 16gig VRAM is bad? You're pulling my leg

            • Kangal on 30/10/2020 - 18:07
              +2

              @bbcw1980: .
              4GB VRAM is necessary for 1080p Gaming.
              8GB VRAM is necessary for 1440p Gaming.
              16GB VRAM is necessary for 2160p (4K) Gaming.

              I know the cards that are "4K Ready" are the (fastest to slowest):
              …RX 6900, RTX 3090, RX 6800xt, and the "20GB" RTX 3080 Base/Super/Ti variant.

              With that said, Modern-4K games can (theoretically) run on even weaker GPUs, that is if they were not "artificially" VRAM limited. I'm talking about cards such as the (fastest to slowest):
              …RTX 2080-Ti, RTX 2080-Super, RTX 2080. However, none have 16GB VRAM, so they're stuck with 1440p Gaming instead for the most part.

              And speculatively the upcoming (fastest to slowest):
              ….RX 6700xt, RTX 3060-Ti, RX 6700. I think these will be released with only 10GB VRAM, so again they'll probably be stuck to 1440p Gaming too.

              Not too much will change for 1440p Gaming. So we'd be expecting as the bare minimum a Vega56, or GTX 1080, or RTX 2060, or RX 5600xt. That would probably translate into something like a (speculative) RTX 3060 or RX 6500xt.

              And again, even less changes will happen for 1080p Gaming. So expect the bare minimum to be GTX 1060, or RX 480, or GTX 1650-S, or RX 5500. That would probably translate into something like (speculative) RTX 3050 or RX 6500.

      isn't:

      • 6800XT is directed towards 3080?

        Yes but 6800 is priced higher compared to 3070 but has more performance according to benchmark.

  • Doomedgrind on 30/10/2020 - 12:20

    I like the idea of being able to hold the order for Zen 3 ;) also any chances of the newer (maybe old now?) APUs (Ryzen 5 4600G) for study/office/light gaming?

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 30/10/2020 - 12:29

      Not sure I understand the question - do you want to pair this APU with the 3070? It's not a CPU we've ever stocked or been asked about, so I'd say probs not.

        EOL = End of Line ??

    Will there be an i7/3070 deal any time soon?

      Yep, soon

    Nice price, but will hold off. In my humble opinion it is worth to wait and see at least 12-16gb of video memory to be added to graphics card to be able to play comfortably on future titles.

      All YouTube discussion I have seen on this topic says that much vram requirement is just speculation. Not saying its wrong and understand why that may be true, but it also may not be required in the foreseeable future of gaming.

    Can we still order the 3080 system?
    I wanted to order one 3070 and one 3080 system :)

    Thanks Luke

    Will we see matx form factor 3070 builds?

      Case wise? No. The cards are still too big for most readily available MATX cases.

    Hey Luke - FYI your webpage is doing that thing that it used to do 12 months ago where all of the upgrade dropdowns are expanded and you can't scroll down at all - took me 3 refreshes to load the page right. Doesn't happen every time.

      Thanks, reckon it will be an under-load thing. We're moving to a new platform very soon which should remove any bugs like this.

        I get this almost every time

    Question.

    The 3080 base spec before coupon is $2295. The 3070 base spec before coupon is $2488. Aside from the GPU, both builds have similar base specs but the 3080 build has a bigger PSU and gigabyte gaming x motherboard.

    Then why would the 3070 base spec before coupon is applied be priced $200 higher than the 3080? Those without the coupon are certainly being ripped of.

    The 3070 discount of $700 is certainly misleading.

      I have seen your comments elsewhere before. Can you please suggest which one or which deal is actually the build that has better value for money? Cheers!

        I thought the 3080 deal post coupon code price is pretty good. However the pricing of the 3070 build is confusing. Before the coupon code, its $200 more than the 3080 base build. After the coupon code, it's $200 cheaper. Makes no sense. Would be good if Luke could provide some insight.

      It seems to be happening under heavy load. Please refresh the page and it will come good.
