Update 2pm 19 Jul: My order which was placed 1 minute before posting this deal just got a tracking number, for reference

Luke from TechFast reached out to me about this incredible deal on a RTX 3080 non-LHR model, a good $150+ off from the recent popular deal

Gainward may not be a well known brand in Australia, but they are a subsidiary of Palit, the largest GPU manufacturers in the world. From a quick look around, this gpu cooling is decent enough to mine ethereum without any further modification if you so choose

Upon further inspection, this card seems to have the same pcb as the Palit GameRock 3080, (Source), and the Palit GameRock is renowned to sometimes be able to mine Eth at 100Mh+ @ 175W, (Source), so you may get lucky :)

From Luke:

Cards will be shipping now through to the end of July. These will be the final non LHR cards we have and are getting.

    Thanks OP, bought one.

    For people on the fence, you can get this and start mining straight away and pocket around $200 bucks/mth instead of waiting and waiting and waiting…

    I went from a 2070 super to a 3080 last October and the performance uplift in 3440x1440 was incredible.

    • frenox on 13/07/2021 - 17:28

      any guide on mining ?

    • GreenRomeo on 13/07/2021 - 18:29

      Don’t forget the tax though. So $200/month may become $140/month depending on your regular income. Of course you can claim back the cost of the machine. It this would be a moot point if you could already claim it for normal work purpose though.

      If the card value decreases more than $140-$200/month in the next months and go back to RRP towards the end of the year then you may actually end up with a loss, if you plan to use the card just for mining.

      • chyawala on 13/07/2021 - 20:24

        At what point would tax become applicable to mining profits? Would have thought some might just spend their coins.

        • Eha002 on 13/07/2021 - 22:50

          As soon as you mine anything its taxable.

  • atomnaya on 13/07/2021 - 17:04

      (profanity), what's this?

    • foxpants on 13/07/2021 - 17:30

      That was shortly after launch and immediately remedied with a driver update. Absolutely of zero concern.

      • idonotknowwhy on 13/07/2021 - 18:03

        good to know

      • lovebeingrippedoff on 14/07/2021 - 16:18

        Remedied by dropping clock speed tables and adjusting voltage through driver updates (it took multiple to fix it for everyone)

        • foxpants on 14/07/2021 - 16:23

          I've had my 3080 since launch and that was close to my memory of it. I never had any of the reported issues (Asus TUF 3080), but the drivers dropped clocks by 15mhz at most on any point of the voltage/frequency table iirc, and from first rearing it's head was solved well within one month.

          • lovebeingrippedoff on 14/07/2021 - 16:34

            @foxpants: Yeah the TUF cards were one of the only ones that didnt need fixing like the others which is why it was selling out before any of the other cards. My 3080 (gainward not the one OP posted) needed 3 driver updates before it stopped doing weird stuff. GN has a video about it from when these cards launched

    • HomeAlone on 13/07/2021 - 18:57

      It's still $700 over RRP.

      • ozb88 on 13/07/2021 - 19:29

        More like $300-400. 3080 was never less than $1100, most of them at launch were between $1250-$1500

        • HomeAlone on 13/07/2021 - 19:40

          most of them at launch were between $1250-$1500

          Were those RRP? Or were those prices already jacked?

          FYI, the RRP for Gainward GeForce RTX 3080 Phantom is $729 USD.

          After converting to AUD and adding GST you end up around $1071 so I'll stick to what I said about this still being $700 over RRP.

          • zys0421 on 13/07/2021 - 20:40

            @HomeAlone: Its original release price was around 1100 but it was never sold at that price since the release due to the extremely high demand. The jacked price is totally understandable given the demand is incredible. The GPU is never again only for gaming, but making some profit. Therefore, the GPU price will most likely be dynamic in the foreseeable future. Namely, the price will somehow move with those cryptos.

            Maybe someday the price will go back to normal but that will be at least after the release of 4 series and 4 series rrp will be much higher than 3 series because of the reason I mentioned before unless mining is made unprofitble at all by that time either by crypto price itself or GPU manufacturer.

          • ozb88 on 13/07/2021 - 20:45
            +3

            @HomeAlone: ~$1100 was for the founders edition ~$699USD which never came to Australia. PLE, Centrecom, MSY, etc were all selling cards at $1250-1500 well before the mining boom happened - this aligns with AIB cards being $100-200USD more.

            • HomeAlone on 13/07/2021 - 21:10

              @ozb88:

              ~$1100 was for the founders edition ~$699USD which never came to Australia.

              The RRP I mentioned ($729 USD) is specifically for the card in this deal, the Gainward GeForce RTX 3080 Phantom. It's RRP is $30 USD higher than FE.

              Also, we have seen cards near that price point.

  • mooncake111 on 13/07/2021 - 19:05

    if you have held out since late 2020, no point to buy now - prices will reach close to MSRP.

    or better yet, hold off for next gen.

    would only buy if ur GPU dies or is on its last legs

        Yeah, same as looking at stale prices on StaticIce for out-of-stock listings - waste of time. Not sure if we're ever going back to pre-COVID pricing for GPUs with crypto here to stay

  • Niczoom on 14/07/2021 - 09:59

    Sounds good considering the previous pricing but $1788 is still a good amount of cash just for a graphics card.

      "just a graphics card" - for many particularly when building a gaming PC, the graphics card is the most vital component.

    Any good reviews on this card, best I can see it runs noisy and hot, but maybe thats all the 3080s

    • ozb88 on 14/07/2021 - 13:25

      The first comment has a link to a Youtube video. Seems like it's one of the better cards out there.

      • houmousy on 14/07/2021 - 15:02

        watched that and it seems mainly theoretical, not many actual reviews of the card.

        • ozb88 on 14/07/2021 - 15:02

          It's the same internals as the Palit GameRock which Hardware Unboxed has done a review of - very positive.

            @ozb88: I think the cooler is slightly different, but it looks like that fin array is flat and you can just take the shroud off and put proper noctua fans on

              @mainmast: Someone who had one on Reddit didn't think that was possible, wonder if anyone who gets a techfast build shipped will write a review

          There was someone who said they ordered within 30 minutes and it won't be delivered until end of July, so something tells me they really only had stock available for the end of July.

          • xerocopy on 17/07/2021 - 11:51

    Based on the wording I'd assume early orders would have been fulfilled but it doesn't look like it from previous comments.
