The occasional techfast gpu restock is back, this time they added Gainward 3070 non lhr which might be worth looking into if youre into that.

link to other gpu deals:
Gainward Phantom GeForce RTX 3070 8GB (Non-LHR/FHR) $1999 https://techfast.com.au/products/Gainward-Phantom-GeForce-RT…
Gigabyte Gaming OC RTX 3060 Ti 8GB LHR $1128 https://techfast.com.au/products/Gigabyte-Gaming-OC-RTX-3060…
Gigabyte Gaming OC RTX 3070 8GB LHR $1388 (OOS) https://techfast.com.au/products/Gigabyte-Gaming-OC-RTX-3070…

They still also have stock for the RTX 3060 12gb LHR for $888 from previous weeks (OOS now)

Have fun justifying the "bargains"

          • BennyHe2018 on 12/10/2021 - 15:51

            @Magicmannn: Although only for preordering, 16GB VRAM is much more future proof than 8GB

            • cnut on 12/10/2021 - 15:53

              @BennyHe2018: I’m hoping that by the time 8gb is “redundant”, prices would drop back to normal and you can upgrade to whatever the latest models are.

              • d3al on 12/10/2021 - 16:13

                @cnut: Might be quicker than you think. Far Cry 6 needs 11GB of VRAM for it's hi-res texture pack. Battlefield 2042's recommended specs list an RTX3060 (12GB VRAM), although they also mention 8GB for some reason. I dare say many AAA games in the coming year may have similar requirements.

                • Revrnd on 12/10/2021 - 17:38

                  @d3al: Yeah.. Nvidia really dropped the ball for VRAM this generation. Seen a few games that max the 3070/3070Ti/3080 VRAM. It'll only become more commonplace.

                  Hope RTX 4000 series have 2x the VRAM this generation has.

              • zilver on 13/10/2021 - 12:05

                @moneyorder: to be honest I just use nicehash's pre-defined profile. after messing with manually and auto tuning it i found their preset just seems to run better than anything i could do manually or even when i copied others settings online. i used to have it on the extreme setting and it got like 108mhs but it crashed once in a while so i turned it down

                i assume its partly just luck based

  • BargainKen on 12/10/2021 - 16:11

    What a ripoff on the FHR 3070 - best case they do around 60MH/s. For that money you're better off getting a 6900XT (or even an overpriced 6800XT) when it goes on sale @ 64MH/s, not to mention the rasterization performance benefit on the AMD cards.

    • plmko on 12/10/2021 - 16:13

      (Complete speculation from me) but even if the hash rate is the same or slightly more wouldn't the 3070 be exceedingly more power efficient than a 6900XT and therefore more profitable?

      • BargainKen on 12/10/2021 - 16:38
        +1

        I dont think you'd be spending that sorta money to purely mine tho, its more for the gamer who wants to mine on the side to offset the cost of their card.
        Point is tho, if you're going to spend 2k on a card, there's better options out there.

      • cre8t1v3yoozername on 12/10/2021 - 17:22

        6900xt can mine at 64mh/s @140w when undervolted
        6800 can do the same hashrate @110-120w

    • MaxHashrate on 12/10/2021 - 16:15

      rtx cards can do more algos better and is a safer bet for life after ETH 2.0

      6800xt and 6900xt are not power efficient, people go for 6800.

      • BargainKen on 12/10/2021 - 16:39

        If its alt-coins you want to mine, better off getting the cheaper LHR card as LHR only affect Ethereum mining.

      Virtually identical card. not worth it imo

      • Dfresh on 12/10/2021 - 16:22

        would that be the same case for 1440p gaming ?
        Recently purchased 1440p monitor without researching how it would affect my 1080ti lol

        • ONEMariachi on 12/10/2021 - 16:31

          They're both much of a muchness. What issues are you having with 1440p gaming with the 1080ti? It's pretty much the card for 1440p gaming.

          • Dfresh on 13/10/2021 - 09:37

            @ONEMariachi: hmm I see,
            I'm currently playing Escape from Tarkov in 1440p but in lower gfx settings. However I notice frame fluctuates like crazy.
            I also might pick up battlefield in the future.

        • John Doh on 12/10/2021 - 21:46

          I get around 70 to 80 fps on my GTX 1080 in most games with a slight tweak (no visual difference). That I feel is decent with gsync. With 1080Ti, it should be much better.

          • Dfresh on 13/10/2021 - 09:37

            @John Doh: I see, I think I need to look more into the tweaking before I fork out $$ for no reason lol

            • John Doh on 13/10/2021 - 10:15

              @Dfresh: I would just wait another year and get the 4000 series. 1080ti is a pretty capable card in most games.

    • XiTaU on 12/10/2021 - 19:00

      the 3060 ti is somewhere in the 10 - 20% faster in most games but not really worth an upgrade unless you can get back most of the cost from selling on your old gpu.

  • madska on 12/10/2021 - 16:14

    Also I won’t be surprised if lhr unlock to 100% soon….making non lhr card less desirable. I was able to get 46mhs with my 3070 before

  • drazenm on 12/10/2021 - 17:36

    Techfast cranked up their prices. Few days ago 5600x 3080 system was $2998 now it's $3300.

  • s20525xxx on 14/10/2021 - 00:10

    I bought my FHR 3070s from tech fast for the equivalent of $900. $2000 is a bad move from tech fast. Even with $150 profit after electricity, it take 10 month to match MSRP, and the hardware would have degraded badly

    • lookingforTV on 14/10/2021 - 14:00

      Hardware degrade is almost a myth. It can damage GPU if not cooled properly when each GPU is sitting on top of each other (like mining farms). But, in normal circumstances where people game and mine when not gaming, it doesn't degrade.

      • s20525xxx on 14/10/2021 - 20:31

        I have been through this with someone else before, I have to gradually turn down memory over clock in my 3070 mining rig to keep them from crashing. They are on open frame running at 40 to 45 at core temperature.
        Mining does degrade hardware.

        • lookingforTV on 14/10/2021 - 23:20

          Your memory overclock has never been stable. Linus debunked it also. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKqVvXTanzI

          • s20525xxx on 15/10/2021 - 00:15

            @lookingforTV: Correct me if im wrong he only tested core clock, where as mining stress memory?
            I would say running fine for 15-30 days, then wont run smoothly for more than 1 day, until I wind back memory clock, is an indicator of memory degradation.
            Even Linus himself said thermal expansion kills electronic.

            • lookingforTV on 15/10/2021 - 00:23

              @s20525xxx: He didn’t just test core clock.. he ran benchmarks which use both core/memory. If you overclocked, and didn’t manage heat - that’s a result of not taking necessary steps to provide sufficient cooling - hence my original comment.

              GPU doesn’t differentiate its work from mining or gaming - but it’s other things that people to make mining more cost effective (undervolting/overclocking) that “may” cause hardware degrade.

              If the GPU reaches its boost clock and maintains its original performance, then there is no hardware degradation. It’s still performing at the level that manufacturers expected to, shown in Linus’s video.

              In your case, your memory clock isn’t reaching to what you think was the maximum but that clock value was set by you through overclocking, not by manufacturer.

              Mining activities themselves do not cause degradation.
