1ST Post Please Be Gentle
I checked in the morning (around 10am) and it was $1,999.. I sent them a message asking if this come with gift set like the previous deal and seems the price went up by $100. Should not have hesitated :(
what was in the gift set?
EVGA Z15 mechanical gaming keyboard.
EVGA X17 Gaming mouse
Windows 10 home software (physical copy)
Was the PC built in Asgard ?
Asgard is not a place.
Its a people.
so… built by Asgard?
Huh?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asgard
"Asgard[1] (Old Norse: Ásgarðr; “Enclosure of the Aesir”) is a location associated with gods. It is depicted in a multitude of Old Norse sagas and mythological texts.[2] Some researchers have suggested Asgard to be one of the Nine Worlds surrounding the tree Yggdrasil.[3] In Norse Mythology, Asgard is a fortified home to the Aesir tribe of gods located in the sky."
Because Wiki is definitive source for everything and all that.
@CEO Rachel Jake: Totally did not remember that, "Asgard is not a place. Never was. This could be Asgard. Asgard is where our people stand"…
I like the, "Are you Thor, the God of Hammers?" haha!
It was made in Chinese
Same store is listing that GPU for $1800… seems kinda unusual to me that they'd be like "throw in an extra $300 and get a whole i9 build"
Not as good a deal as the last one which had a better motherboard and a 360mm AIO (and was $100 cheaper)
gpu prices are higher though
I know. It's still a good deal, just hard to swallow given what they were offering barely a couple of months ago. This must be what it's like to try and buy a loaf of bread in Venezuela :(
Why is bread so expensive in Venezuela?
@brotherfranciz: Was a tongue-in-cheek reference to inflation (although referring to increasing video card prices as inflation is totally inapposite for a number of reasons).
@xyron: Disagree that its inappropriate to use GPU prices as a reference to inflation, but upvote anyway for the use of the word "inapposite" in a sentence.
@Gamer Dad Reviews: Inflation relates to increases in the prices of goods generally, not one specific highly specialised luxury good (like graphics cards).
Is that you, Bryan from Tech Yes City???
This is a good deal for a decent 3070.
The Gaming OC is going for $1800+ elsewhere.
Its an excellent deal.
Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3070 GAMING OC 8G: $1999 at
https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/graphics-cards/nvidia/85…
So for $100 one gets everything else!
It is shocking to see the GPU prices keep rising. So much for the GPU prices will crash when the crypto market crashes. Unless crypto market is meant to crash even more?
EIP1559 hasn't hit yet.
There will be something else to mine other than Eth…
@g1: Not with the same level of profitability, there won't.
RVN profitability will die if all the hashpower goes to it. Same with any other alt coin.
There won't be an ETH equivalent.
wtf, my 3070 pc is less than the price the card #shockedface
with the new graphics card being unable to be used for mining, I'm hoping prices will come back down to normal soon
Dont hold your breath.
Demand was insane before the latest mining boom happened so mining alone isn't to blame
Supply is worse and is only getting worse so i doubt that prices will be "normal" anytime soon
says who, they actually sold out 3080ti for $3000 on all stores
demand must be sky high or kids have lots of $$ these days, crazy really
Strix was $3,500. Still sold out.
If couple years is soon, I guess so.
I really doubt it. It's the gamers' turn to hoard the Video Cards. Especially those who didn't get a chance to buy one (or two). lol
I bought twenty on release direct through supplier and have used them day and night for mining.. suckers
It's currently the gamers hoarding cards, mostly always has been.
I'm being a bit loose with words here, but it's just very high demand from everyone (still mostly gamers) outstripping supply and causing shortages. The crypto market is big yeah and it has an impact, but the regular gamers market is significantly larger and is contributing massively to the pressure on manufacturers.
It would be nice to have one group to blame, but there isn't really one to point at. (This is all mostly according to the LTT video on the topic, and given their contacts I'd take their word for it)
Why?
Tempted to buy this, take the GPU out, put my RTX 2060 Super in it and try resell it…
Id say do it if you need a cheap system upgrade and you have a gpu to spare.
I just want the GPU, nigh impossible to get a reasonably priced 3070.
Curious to hear the opinion of the neg vote…? lol
I was thinking keep the 2060 super system because the rest of the parts are a couple of generations old and get rid of the 3070 while the market is high but if you need a 3070 do the opposite. As for the neg dunno people see the word resell and i guess neg but ill + it cauz its reasonable to me if you wanna its your item.
@XiTaU: Ah yeah, I see what you're saying, but I did a new build with the intention of upgrading to a 3070 (2060 was from a older build); I just didn't buy one when the prices were semi reasonable.
but ill + it cauz its reasonable to me if you wanna its your item
Agree… dont see why people get sand in their vag over stuff like this… people have been swapping parts and reselling PC's this way for years.
Probably one of the more reliable ways to get a reasonably priced 3070 atm. I sold my 3070 this week for $1600 on Gumtree and I had buyers within the first hour (probably could have gotten more).
Jeez. That's the same price I paid for my Asus TUF 3080 OC. Absolutely nuts.
Yeah it's nuts. I paid $900 for that card last year and passed on a chance for a Vision OC 3080 for $1500 thinking it was robbery.
Lots of people trying to do exactly this with the old BPC deal and the various Dell XPS/G5 deals. I don't think they're actually shifting very quickly if at all on the used market. But still probably a better way to go than just copping it in the neck for a 3070 by itself at ~$1700 or so.
I'd wait for the 3070 Ti release next week and try to nab one of them.
GPU is triple fan.
Seems really good at the moment. PSU could be bigger but it's more than adequate, everything else is quality. Wouldn't wait for better any time soon
Anyone know if the wifi option is just a dongle or would it be upgraded MB
Since GPUs and gaming aren't a necessity, if you have the patience I reckon just wait, GPU prices are getting more ridiculous day by day. Can't believe people are lining up in the US to buy a 3080 Ti when it's pretty much daylight robbery by Nvidia (10% better performance than 3080 for $600 USD more)
but you cant get hold of a 3080… but people are nuts for this shit at moment.
Why are ppl so keen on a GPU?
A lot of people working from home has lead to an increased demand for home desktops. Combined with the greater than expected performance uplift with Ampere, a global silicon shortage, profitable crypto mining and gamers who skipped the poor value Turing architecture and you have your reason.
@materix01: Still puzzles me
1. Wfh will be working with laptops supplied from work
2. If things get expensive, dont buy.
Maybe I am not a gamer and will never understand.
@[Deactivated]: Meh my work provided me a Macbook laptop but… I just can't. I've used windows since the 3.1 days. With Windows Subsystem for Linux I have everything I need in Windows 10. The laptop would have I guess 1/4 to 1/3 the performance of my Desktop. I can't go back to using such a poorly performing machine. When I'm working, I need my PC to ask "how high" when I say jump, not to sit around spinning its little rainbow wheel for a bit and give me a bit of lip.
@Gamer Dad Reviews: What do you do that needs massively more power than a modern Macbook, especially with the new M1 models out now? I use my couple of years old MacBook Pro for everything and while admittedly its a maxed out spec, and I use 3x 4k monitors at my office desk. But i run half a dozen large businesses (retail and accom) and do a decent amount of video and high res photo editing on the side and I just never, ever find that my computer slows me down at all.
I know that there is work where a more powerful machine is really required (eg 4k/8k video editing), but why would your work provide you with an underpowered MacBook if that is what you need to get your work done? I am genuinely interested in what you do for a job.
The only common use case I can imagine is gaming, where PC is obviously far superior to Mac.
During the last deal I got in for the preorder, until 2 weeks later they quietly changed the description of the GPU to be LHR (lower hash rate)
Cancelled order then, so buyer beware. For more info, check the previous post
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/619437
Wow that's so shady. I was actually spewing I missed that deal but thanks to you, I can now sleep at night.
Thank you was about to pull the trigger…
Yep, they did change to LHR but as far as I am aware everyone who received the system got a Non-LHR card including me, so not sure if it was a miscommunication with the supplier.
But right on your part, they shouldn't be changing description in a sneaky way without informing the customer.
They weren’t LHR cards in the end. I wasn’t happy with the build I got though as the parts were not as they listed. Sneaky changes were made. XPG ram for one.
True, would you take that risk for a $2k purchase that was actually confirmed to be LHR by their support at that time tho?
I did take the risk, and still wasn’t happy with the build to be fair.
@Johnny L: I sold the whole thing on FB marketplace for what I paid, just hanging out for a 3080 deal now…
Expect most 3070 and 3080 pre-build sales to be LHR going forward. Non LHR will fetch a higher price, while they are still produced. As Nvidia is going to produce LHR and non LHR cards side by side for now I would guess that there will be less non LHR stock.
https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2021/05/18/lhr/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4R5GN60CBo
I am sure labeling and descriptions will catch up soon.
Wow, i didn't realize GPU prices have inflated even further past few months. Beyond outrageous price gauging by the board manufacturers and distributors.
Decent deal, Dell XPS desktop with lower end parts would be about $2100.
looks decent if it’s not the LHR card
If you are only gaming then why does that matter?
Eth is scheduled to move to Proof of Stake and then the whole LHR Eth limiting will be irrelevant. Can still mine other coins.
ETH PoS has been talked about for years, it's still a while off, an educated guess would be mid to late 2022, I think Vitalik (ETH founder) went on a podcast recently and stated end of 2022. EIP1559 will have more of an impact, but then see below
LHR as you said is not as powerful as touted because other coins are almost as profitable to mine currently (ERGO (actually more profitable than ETH currently), RVN etc…)
Regardless @maluouphix listing description states "Gigabyte RTX 3070 Gaming OC 8GB Graphics full power version"
lhr or not？
From the Specs page:
CPU- Intel i9-9900KF 8Core/16 Threads Processor
Cooler- 240mm AIO RGB CPU Cooler
Motherboard- Gigabyte Z390 UD ATX Motherboard
Graphic Card- Gigabyte RTX 3070 Gaming OC 8GB Graphics full power version
Ram- 16GB DDR4 3200Mhz Memory
SSD- Corsair 1TB PCIe Gen3 NVMe SSD
HDD- Optional
Case- Coolermaster MB511L ARGB Mid-Tower ATX Case
Fan- 3x RGB fan included (Coolermaster case only)
Power Supply- EVGA 600W 80Plus Gold Power Supply Unit
Software- Optional
WIFI- Optional
So does "full power version" definitely mean non-LHR? AFAIK the LHR new cards draw the same amount of power as before, nVidia just limits the hash function. Having said that, on Gigabyte's website there is no indication that they have a LHR RTX3070 yet.
https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N3070GAMING-OC-8GD…
Revision 2 is LHR
This GeForce RTX™ 3070 graphics card with LHR (lite hash rate) delivers 25 MH/s ETH hash rate (est.). The value of the Hash Rate is for reference only and may vary depending on your PC hardware specifications, quality of your internet connection, and/or other factors.
@Earl of Lemongrab: Edit: The specs description has been changed to remove the words "full power version"
Bought 1 with the upgrade to 32Gb. Have been stuck gaming on a NUC since my PC died 16 months ago. Looking forward to playing something released in the last 10 years.
FYI: Called them and they said about two weeks to build and send them out.
Their web site is way too slow… but the price is still $2099 not $2249
That mobo… 6 usb ports on the back. Useless.
Is it that much worse than the last deal?
Why is that useless
Can we get separate gpu and cpu boxes for this?
The Gigabyte Z390 UD ATX LGA1151 Motherboard has an additional 4-pin ATX power connector but the EVGA GD (2019) 600 W 80+ Gold Certified ATX Power Supply does not. This connector is used to supply additional 12V current to the motherboard. While the system will likely still run without it, higher current demands such as extreme overclocking or large video card current draws may require it.
Hi Guys,
just a friendly reminder the this week's Bifrost System Deal will end soon at 6 PM :)
Sincerely
BPC Sales Team
Please bring back the old deal at $1999 with the 360mm AIO and the Aorus Elite motherboard!
We will try to build amazing deals like that :)
Oh man, I was trying to buy this but the website was crazy slow - any chance of an extension?
Hi TheWinterCold,
Apologies for your bad experience, due to the 3080ti Launch and the system deal our website experienced extremely high volume.
If you are able to provide any sorts of evidence showing you tried to order before 6PM that day, we are still happy to offer you the deal with $2099.
Regards
BPC Customer Service
Seems abrupt to post this 20 minutes before the deadline! I'm guessing this deal wasn't meant to be advertised?
Are there any options for changes beyond what is shown guys?
Hi, I missed this week's deal but had a couple of questions:
Do you run deals like this weekly?
Is it possible to buy all the parts of the build without the case? or swap the case out for something else you guys sell? I am not a fan of that CM case
Hi Anon,
There will be new system deals for the coming weeks. Very likely to release one this weekend.
For certain deals, we can do the case swap but generally, we don't.
Regards
BPC Customer Service
If only the CPU was better. The option of better PSU too.
realistically, a 9900ks will do everything the vast, vast majority of people would ever want to do…
So the fact that I have to ask is that I'm not the vast, vast majority.
What are you doing that a 9900KS won't achieve? the only real step up from here is a ryzen 5800X (even a 11900K won't be a marked improvement over the 9900KS).
