    A single NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti 12GB graphics card and its drivers will be installed and stress tested.

    Is there an option for this or just a typo?

    Can we have an upgrade option for a 4 ram/2 m2 slot MB?
    the current offering almost forces buyers to upgrade rams/ssd at ridiculous pricing (109 for 32gb, 99 for 1TB!!), but I think that's the intention behind the specs

        Beats it with better feature set and RT/PT performance.

            @congo: On the aggregate it's about the same at 1440p, but you have DLSS for image quality and frame generation, you have better raytracing, you have much better path tracing, and you have AV1 encoding. Sometimes they perform the same in a given game, sometimes one is better, so I would check most for games you play regularly or want to game competitively in.

            Against the 7800XT, you have the same benefits with the RTX 4070, and AV1 encoding quality is so far better.

    For people who are PC gaming savy, how much money would I have to spend for:

    1. A gaming PC of similar power to an xbox one x
    2. Alternately, a gaming PC able to run DOTA on the highest settings

    Cheers!

    • CheapWrangler on 07/09/2023 - 16:14

        ? Brand new?? or used?? I doubt you can do brand new for that price.

    • Gamer Dad Reviews on 07/09/2023 - 16:17

      This one is faster than xbox one x, but once you start going below this level, imo the performance tradeoffs are not worth the price savings.
      This is a good deal - jump on it. Alternatively you could probs scrape together a sub-$1000 build with Ryzen 5 5600 and RX 6700… but that would be a. lot. less performant on the GPU front compared to the RTX 4070.

      Btw - DOTA is insanely easy to run. Could crank the settings on an APU and still hit 60fps at 1080p probably…
      EDIT: OP's RX580 build would slay DOTA - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/789846

      • almotions on 07/09/2023 - 16:30

        Sorry I meant an xbox series X (the newest model)

        Thanks for your detailed comments and suggestions. How much do you compromise when the PC is in a smaller case or is it not worth doing? I don't have a lot of desk space which makes the xbox handy with it's compact size

        • zantaRay on 07/09/2023 - 16:44
          +1

          You just won't get price comparable to a console with the same footprint + performance on a pc. Consoles have huge advantages in both those regards. ITX builds (small size/footprint) are notoriously pricey, as manufacturers know they can charge more for a niche product. I'm not an expert, but for your second question, DOTA is a pretty cpu bound game, from my brief research just now, but it is also poorly optimised for modern computers, so it's quite hard to run at max settings at consistent high frame rates. If you don't have interest in continuing to upgrade, an am4 cpu or apu probably makes sense, if you're just interested in playing dota. It's hard to know exactly what to recommend without more information. Primarily what resolution and framerate you want to play at.

          • almotions on 07/09/2023 - 17:01

            @zantaRay: I have a 4k 60Hz monitor so that resolution and frame rate. Wanting to play on the highest graphics - I've always had to run it near the lowest settings

            Thanks for your help!

            • zantaRay on 07/09/2023 - 17:15

              @almotions: What do you currently play it on?

              • almotions on 08/09/2023 - 10:35

                @zantaRay: an m1 macbook air (base specs), and I run it at the 2nd lowest preset settings (so not customising what each thing is). I get about 90 fps

                • zantaRay on 11/09/2023 - 11:35

                  @almotions: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/799001

                  This is not a bad option. The processor could be kicked up to a 5600 for an extra $88, which would give some extra frames. Dota 2 is pretty CPU bound though so probably worth it. Case isn't tiny but it's not super big either.

          • containsmsg on 08/09/2023 - 13:26
            +1

            @zantaRay: Just to add on to what you're saying re: DotA. It is notoriously badly optimised. You can have a 3k+ gaming rig, and yes, it will run at 144fps 1440p max settings for maybe the first 20-30 minutes depending on the heroes selected.

            Once you get to 45mins or so in game, team fights will really start to dip your FPS. If for example there's an MK in game with Aghs, all bets are off. I had a 1 hour plus game with MK, and if you ever had him on your screen, FPS was dipping to around 30-40.

  • Naigrabzo on 07/09/2023 - 16:17

    I am guessing the only weak point here might be the power supply? Assuming case has good air flow etc.

    • scrimshaw on 07/09/2023 - 19:36

      If Techfast doesn't tell you what PSU you're getting (in the spec list) then you should assume you would be getting a cheap and cheerful one. Or Cheap / Not cheerful if it happens to be Aywun 750w with fake 80+ Bronze certifications.

      There are lot of things you can skimp in a gaming build but the PSU is not one of them

      The case is a 7/10 on XDA-Developers review, though personally I'd rate it a 6/10 due to mediocre cable management features.

      • ab c on 08/09/2023 - 10:41
        +1

        PSU: yes, TF's past-practices have come back to haunt them & they have took-risk/cheap-out with cheap-PSUs & hide this under the guise of 'having a pool of similar-part & hence not-knowing brand & model #'. May be factor a small-discount when TF don't list brand & model #, or wait for BPC to list equivalent deals with a detailed part-list. Also, may be this reflects little-margin in many-deals…monitor TF/BPC prices over a few months & see it for yourself.

        Regarding 'mediocre cable management features': likely that TF will tidy it up.

    If not ,Rather downgrade to 4060 or pay the premium to 80.

  • Pusdi on 07/09/2023 - 16:52

    Windows $169. Microsoft are theives. At the volumes they sell, it should be no more than $50.

    Why do they have to make it so hard for the little guys? I would love to know how much Dell and Lenovo pay.

    Tempted by the deal all the same.

    • happyangus on 07/09/2023 - 16:59

      There are tons of ways to get it for free or very cheap. I havent done a fresh install in maaany years so I couldnt tell you the best current way but you absolutely do not have to pay the $169

      • Pusdi on 07/09/2023 - 17:14

        I'm sure there are ways to get it cheap or free and most of them would be risky, dodgy and/or illegal. By making the price of windows exorbitant, MS are encouraging many to take this less desirable pathway.

        Stick it to the man.

      • shutuptakemymoney101 on 07/09/2023 - 21:36

        Which is probably why MS off-set the 'tons of ways to get it free' by keeping the higher price point. lol

    I strongly advise against purchasing from Techfast. They use the lowest quality components, and their builds are a complete mess. It seems they are solely focused on making a profit rather than providing reliable products. They are an incredibly unreliable seller.

        No, I am a consumer. On the contrary, they manipulate reviews with bots. You can see they've technically collapsed my comments. I have email records from service, but I have nowhere to expose their despicable actions.

      • Zondasss on 09/09/2023 - 03:17

        I assert that most people here, including me, don't know much about computers. It wasn't until after the purchase that I realized they are deceitful merchants. Yet they still manage to play God here and deceive people out of their money.

    Hmm, I had opposite experience. Ordered on 24th Aug, ready for pick up on 4th Sep.
    Yes, some of the parts are "not premium", but that is part of the deal for lower prices.

    They were friendly and helpful to work with. My only comment would be they can be a bit slow to respond, but are also very busy.
    I was able to pick up, which saved the freight cost (and risk).

    They also spent the time to open up the boxes and let me see everything I asked for was there, before I headed off.

    • Zondasss on 08/09/2023 - 11:58

      Hi Zero,

          The simplest way of getting your computer up and running in Windows is as follows

          1. Use your existing computer to create a bootable flash drive. For Win 11, go to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11 and download the Media Creation Tool. Use that tool to make yourself a bootable drive

          2. When your Techfast computer arrives, you'll need to use that drive to create a clean install of Windows. You don't need to interact with Linux at all — you simply format the drive (which gets rid of Linux), delete all the partitions that Linux previously created (until you have nothing but unallocated space) and then install windows in it's place.

          3. For Wifi, you can purchase any Wifi Adapter you'd like, in any form you'd like (Could be a PCIE card or a USB stick). Drivers should install automatically.

          • daffyd on 07/09/2023 - 18:59

            @scrimshaw: Pcie wifi card will not fit according to motherboard descriptions. Will probably need to be USB if you want wifi on this

        • ab c on 08/09/2023 - 09:57

          If your gaming need a weak internet-connection only (say NOT shooting-games), buy & test-out a USB-wifi while gaming-> https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/284231856690

          When TF don't list brand & model#, their Mobo is a basic with limited-space for network-card via 2nd PCIe connection: GPU likely to take most of the space & gets in the way of a wifi-card connection. Linked order site noted-> 'Does not feature on-board WiFi. A second PCIE device (e.g. network card, installed post-purchase) will not fit with RTX 3070 graphics cards and above.'
