    "This charade of clearing GPU stock through selected distributor discounts without dropping inflated retail card prices can continue forever" -- Jacket Man

        "Oh, of course! Why drop the inflated prices of our graphics cards when we can just offer some "selected distributor discounts" and make it seem like we're doing our customers a favor? After all, why make less money when we can keep our profits high and still get rid of some of our stock? Who cares if it means that gamers and enthusiasts will have to pay exorbitant prices just to get their hands on a decent graphics card? It's not like they need to eat or pay rent, right? As long as we're making money, that's all that matters!" - ChatGPT

        • [Deactivated] on 28/02/2023 - 17:34

          As long as people are paying huge amounts for these GPUs, they will keep pricing up.

    • pnt on 01/03/2023 - 10:29

      So… You can only get a discounted GPU if you buy a whole PC. But buying GPU standalone is still at inflated prices.

      Theory… Because people who buy whole PC are less inclined to spend on GPU on account of just spending on rest of the PC. Whereas GPU upgraders have a bit more spare cash, so there is a bit more gouging to be done.

        Probably because prices are so artificially inflated, that when a mediocre deal (but it's a rigid bundle which is a big limitation) comes along, it SEEMS amazing.

        Imagine Colesworth prices literally doubled, but you could buy preset weekly shop bundles at the old price - which perhaps has your staples, but is missing a few things you want. Would you be chuffed and excited?

        The whole situation has come together to either gouge you buying individual parts via high cost, or to gouge you for buying bundles of the cheapest crap (to them) that they want to get rid of at mediocre, but still somewhat inflated cost.

        Not terrible if you wanted a full PC anyway and get lucky with a decent deal matching what you want - shithouse for everyone else.

        • teddiebear on 02/03/2023 - 16:19

          The "shithouse for everyone else" would be those who probably know how to build a rig. Others, who this rig would be convenient for, might want it for their kids, grandparents, dog down the road.
          Not everyone knows how to build a rig and not everyone knows what parts are a good price, which brands to pick. That's the point of a pre-built rig.
          "Shithouse for everyone else" you're awesome mate! 😀

          • Grazz989 on 02/03/2023 - 22:01

            @teddiebear: You've completely missed the point mate.

            This isn't about slagging prebuilts. If the situation was normal, prebuilts would be at a good price, not just mediocre, and you'd get more choice too. Reminder though: DIY has always been cheaper, and for the hugely obvious reason of it not having to pay for labour.

            Yet that isn't the case anymore. Because everyone is getting fleeced here, just less so those who happen to want exactly what this prebuilder happens to put out, at the time they happen to put it out at.

      What level of machine learning?

      My 3080 10GB has been fine for undergraduate level stuff, mate has the 3070 and its been fine too.

    • LunnLunn on 28/02/2023 - 17:13

      It is about as fast as a colab.

      I don't think you'll be working with it for a while, otherwise you wouldn't be asking this question.

      so yes, if you're just learning ML, that's enough.

    • s20525xxx on 28/02/2023 - 23:46

      For Neural network, 3070Ti is quite fast, but not much VRAM compare to 3090 or 3060 12GB, so you would need to lower precision or restrict model size. 3060 12 GB might be a better option if you wanna try some pretrained model with half precision. And Intel with integrate GPU might help you free up all the VRAM for your model.
      For CPU based machine learning, You probably need more RAM for some algorithms, and normally high clock single core performance is more favourable.
      Better to build your own machine for machine learning. Used 3090, Ryzen 5000 series and RAM are dirt cheap now, just motherboard price is ridiculous ATM.

      • Grazz989 on 02/03/2023 - 09:15

        3090 is dirt cheap now? Seriously?

        • s20525xxx on 02/03/2023 - 20:04

          Im talking about used market, You can get one close to $1200 - $1300, according to my local FB marketplace

            • s20525xxx on 03/03/2023 - 10:10

              @Grazz989: It depends on how u look at it.

                @s20525xxx: Buying a used video card is a lottery……. I would never do it personally, regardless of the perceived "saving" as you are very likely going to end up with a faulty GPU.

              • Grazz989 on 03/03/2023 - 12:30
                +2

                @s20525xxx: Mate, unless you're looking at it from your mansion in Vaucluse, it's not dirt cheap, full stop. For a used, last-gen card? You're out of your godamn mind. It wasn't long ago at all that we were scoffing at the idea of paying $1,000 for a Titan class card when you could pay $700-750 for a card with equal flagship perf.

                • s20525xxx on 09/03/2023 - 17:23
                  -1

                  @Grazz989: Like I said, depends on how you look at it. For machine learning that need the VRAM, Cuda cores and Cudnn, the alternative (4090) is way more expensive.
                  If you only use 3090 for gaiming, then off couse, there are cheaper choices.

                  Used cards do come with risks. But if everyone keeps buying brand new cards only, then Nvidia and AMD will just keep jacking up prices. Again, depends how u look at it. personally, I like to buy bargain used parts, and build things myself. Just saying

      Unlikely. Best to avoid usb wifi if you can. If you do notice issues there probably won't be a decent fix other than hardwairing it (which is always preferable).

        • tf75r7fyuff on 28/02/2023 - 17:46

          Are you buying this pc for gaming/intensive workloads? If you are then I would recommend it, provided u can spare the expensive upgrade. The b550 tomahawk is a high end motherboard so the thermals will be great on it and coming with wifi is a decent bonus

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/757277

    Is the price justifiable? Gpu is better on this deal but 12400f seems superrior than 5700?

    • tf75r7fyuff on 28/02/2023 - 18:29

      Hey there! the 5700x actually beats out the 12400f in the majority of games, and even in multi-core situations the 5700x performs even better! You're probably using Userbenchmark which is a horrible site because they are incredily skewed towards intel over AMD, which is understandable since its the first link anyone sees. I would highly recommend just using youtube instead for cpu/gpu comparisons from big youtubers. But yes, (in my opinion) this deal is actually very worth it. The only thing is that the gpu brand might be a bit strange but it will still be superior to any 3070.

        Appreciate you sharing your experiences. That's a relief. How did you find your system from them?

        Were there any issues that crept up with the build that showed up over the coarse of the year (parts failing, etc)?

        Also I'm moving from a laptop to this system and one of the first things I always have to do with Dell laptops, etc, is reinstalling the entire OS and drivers after getting it in the mail, to improve performance/remove bloatware. Did you find you had to do something similar with your system? Or were they pretty much "ready to use" out the box?

        Sorry for all the questions, and thanks again.

        • Kyx on 29/03/2023 - 15:08

          Had issues with usb disconnecting but this is an AMD issue and not a Techfast issue. Bios updates have made the problem less annoying but still there. Have added quite a bit more to the base configuration but no real issues relating to the unit itself. Board I received is different from spec but I preferred the board I got (similar pricepoint). I'm comfortable buying from them again if needed.I immediately changed my boot drive to an nvme so couldn't really comment on the out of the box experience :P. Used the drive it came with in an older system which is still working well to date. Bios settings were in default, had to enable xmp for ram (tweaking) and disable Trusted Platform (again AMD issues).
