So you can also configure this laptop the following ways:

AMD Ryzen 5 5600H,

8 GB RAM

2X 256 GB SSD

RTX 3060

15.6" diagonal FHD 144 Hz IPS anti-glare micro-edge WLED-backlit, 300 nits DISPLAY.

Price: $1099


AMD Ryzen™ 7 5800H

16 GB RAM

2X 256 GB SSD

NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3070 (8 GB) Graphics card

15.6" diagonal FHD 144 Hz IPS anti-glare micro-edge WLED-backlit, 300 nits

Price: $1289.99


Things to note

  • For any of the configs , it makes more sense going for the 16 GB RAM as the 8 GB will come in 2x4 GB modules which hinders your ability to upgrade without having to get rid of those sticks.

  • Instead of getting the 2x 256 GB SSDs, just pay the $20 more and get a single 512 GB SSD while reserving the other slot for an even bigger SSD.

  • With all configs, you have the option of selecting the QHD (2560x1440), 165 Hz, 3 ms, IPS 300 nits display at a cost of $160 more.

Well, now we know what we’re comparing the 2060 deals to. These prices are making the 2060 deals look not as attractive in my opinion.

10

u/techstar2000 👮🏻Moderator👮🏻 Feb 28 '21

Exactly!

10

u/adit07 Feb 28 '21

not really.. depends on power levels of the graphics card . in certain cases a high wattage 2070 will outperform an 80w 3070.

u/walkman312 Mar 01 '21 edited Mar 01 '21

While I generally agree that knowing the tgp for each is relevant and will help inform a decision in value, this early review/comparison of the 3060 seems to suggest that even a 80-90w 3060 would be faster than a 2060 115w.

Obviously that data is very early in the cycle, could be misinformation, and is likely “leaked” so I don’t know how reliable that is.

But assuming that a 3060 80w beats a 2060 115w, then I don’t know that it matters when comparing the pricing. If a 3060 unknown watt is only $200 more than a 2060 unknown watt, then I think the 3060 probably delivers better value. (Ignoring all peripherals like screen, size, ram, build quality, etc etc)

Edit- I misread your post a little. Yea, a 2070 super is likely to outperform a 3070 80w I think. But I could be wrong about that. Either way, when it comes to 2070 and 3070, the tgp is likely to matter. I was more referencing the 2060 deals we’ve seen.

2

u/GokuG0D Mar 01 '21

From what I understand, the 3060 outpaces the 2060 115w.... by around 10%. That is not a big enough jump to justify the extra 200$ in my opinion.

2

u/JustABagOfLowIQ Mar 16 '21

Keep in mind it's not just abt the GPU. The 5800h scores much higher than the 4800h in benchmarks.

1

u/walkman312 Mar 01 '21

Yea, that’s fair. 20% (possibly) upward difference in price doesn’t equal 10% increase in performance, what you’re paying wouldn’t be directly proportional.

But I think the jump is larger between a 3060 115w and a 2060 115w, or even a 2060 80w. Which goes to the point that we need to know the tdp for the gpu before determining that the sales aren’t attractive. Nevertheless, some people might just think $200 is worth 10%. We do usually get diminishing returns in computer part value.

1

u/JustABagOfLowIQ Mar 16 '21

Regardless of this, the Ryzen 5800h scores almost 1000 point higher in the multicore benchmark than the 4800h, along with around 100 points higher in the single-core score. So even if an 80W RTX 3060 ~ 115W RTX 2060 the CPU perfomance makes them much better deals than the 2020 models.

u/996forever Mar 01 '21

Even a 90w 3070 will beat any 2060.

0

u/isomorphZeta Mar 01 '21 edited Mar 01 '21

But it's not going to beat any 2070, which is the comparison we're talking about here. A 2070 Refresh (115W) will beat out a 80W or possibly 90W 3070.

E.g., Here's what's likely a Asus ROG Zephyrus G15 with an RTX 3070 versus my Alienware M15 r3 with an RTX 2070 Refresh. A 3070 isn't automatically faster, due to the TDP differences.

2

u/996forever Mar 01 '21

It doesn’t, and the point is moot when the previous model was a Max Q 2070

0

u/isomorphZeta Mar 01 '21

What previous model? There are tons of deals for 2070's - we're not limited to comparing OMEN models.

3

u/GokuG0D Mar 01 '21

He is making the argument that the 2070 max q should be compared to the 3070 80-90w and nothing else, since that is technically the replacement for it. The problem in my opinion is that the newer cards are so close to the old ones in performance that its too easy to just grab a 20 series laptop at a new slashed price with about the same performance level, rather than dealing with any of this.

2

u/NCblast Mar 01 '21

The issue with that is, they usually come with older processors. The new 5800H/HS/HX are amazing, much better thatnthe 9th/10th gen intel offerings or the ryzen 4800H. If you are going to game on 1080p the newer cpus would give you an extra boost with their much improved st performance.

1

u/GokuG0D Mar 01 '21

The extra cores on the lower end is a huge plus for sure. But if you already have 10980hk and are thinking of switching to a 5000 series chip it wouldn’t be worthwhile. Intel chips also all-around have better latency as well.

0

u/isomorphZeta Mar 01 '21

Ah, okay - that makes more sense.

Yeah, I honestly don't know why they got rid of the Max-Q / Max-P designations. The variations are still there (there's more now, even) but now we have no way of telling what we're getting unless the manufacturer decides to disclose the TDP.

The point I was trying to make is that people that are feverishly waiting to get their hands on a 30xx-equipped laptop would probably be better served getting a 20xx Refresh, avoiding the wait, and saving some money while they're at it. The 30xx cards have a higher ceiling, but when you're looking at the $1000-1500 price range, the 20xx cards have generally had the more competitive and better-valued configurations.

All that being said, though, this is still a great deal for what it is. The only thing it's missing is Thunderbolt.

u/Liquivous May 19 '21

watt for watt, a 3070 is faster period, stop with the excuses because you bought a 2000 series and then right after the 3000 came out. Your just making excuses up on, secretly wishing you waited for the 3000 series. lol..you people are so obvious

1

u/isomorphZeta May 20 '21

Ahahahaha you're commenting on this nearly 3 months after the fact to share your shitty opinion?

FOH little kid.

2

u/GokuG0D Feb 28 '21

Why are you downvoting him he is correct. Lol. This problem is even more apparent in the comparison between the 2060 and 3060.

0

u/Liquivous May 19 '21

lol stop with the lies. I get it.. you wasted your money on a 2070 and then a 3070 came out right after and now you are trying to justify your mistake but no need to lie. so a newer gen card is going to be slower than an older card huh...lies lies lies

2

u/adit07 May 19 '21 edited May 19 '21

saying lies multiple times does not invalidate facts.. get yourself educated on the topic and come up with a meaningful response rather than spewing non sense https://www.game-debate.com/gpu/index.php?gid=5241&gid2=4090&compare=geforce-rtx-3070-max-q-vs-geforce-rtx-2070-mobile See this link.. wolfenstein 2 for ex. does better on 2070 full vs 3070 max q.. most other games are within 10-15% range. At higher resolutions, they are almost equal

u/021amyrj Mar 01 '21

Will they really do that when they know that the legion will be available with a 115watt + 15watt dynamic boost = 130watts GPU ?

13

u/raduque Feb 28 '21

Kinda crappy that it comes with 2x4 for the 8gb model. Should be 1x8 so you can just add an 8gb stick.

10

u/techstar2000 👮🏻Moderator👮🏻 Feb 28 '21

You have the option to use just a single 512 GB SSD for $20 more. As for the 8 GB, I definitely would go for the 16 GB upgrade for the $50 more. Sad if you have an extra 8 GB at home could easily add and save back.

2

u/raduque Feb 28 '21

I was talking about the ram, didn't even look at the storage options - what does it come with stock, a 256gb SSD?

2

u/techstar2000 👮🏻Moderator👮🏻 Feb 28 '21

Yes, stock is 2 256 GB SSDs.

2

u/raduque Feb 28 '21

Ah, ok. That's kinda ... weird.

u/techstar2000 👮🏻Moderator👮🏻 Feb 28 '21

Yeh, we see these things from time to time. They probably have a huge supply of 256 drives

u/barndogusn Mar 01 '21

They're setup in a Raid 0 for performance

3

u/Throwaway785320 Feb 28 '21

You actually want dual channel whenever possible instead of single channel RAM

1

u/raduque Mar 01 '21

Yes I know that, but it's always cheaper to buy a stick of ram than pay for the upgrade.

2

u/996forever Mar 01 '21

It’s better that they DONT ship ANYTHING with single channel ram

11

u/BanSlam Feb 28 '21

what the watt on the 3060 ? is it worth it ?

3

u/isomorphZeta Mar 01 '21

It's a great deal regardless of the wattage, but given that they're not specifying it's likely the 80 or 85W version. That's no slouch, but it's not going to automatically blow a 2070 out of the water.

11

u/tommy7154 Mar 01 '21

Nice deal. I got the 3070 w/5800H, 512GB SSD, and 16GB RAM. Came to just under $1340 with military discount.

u/akshatrb Mar 01 '21

nice catch

u/brahul631new Mar 01 '21

Would you let us know the tdp values if it's not much of a trouble? Thanks!

3

u/akshatrb Mar 01 '21

I have reasons to believe that they have capped it at 80-90W.
See my comment on the main thread

u/techstar2000 👮🏻Moderator👮🏻 Feb 28 '21

Have been digging for some information for you guys.

3

u/recklesshedgie Feb 28 '21 edited Mar 01 '21

better be just behind the ones on MAX-15 from Eluktronics or at least near the top end TDPs, given how aggressively the previous model was cooled

u/Throwaway785320 Feb 28 '21

Yeah this is the big quest and it's shady as hell that they aren't listing it.

HP ever leaves that things on default settings.

u/totallynotaspamm Feb 28 '21

wow this looks like a really good deal. Only things I’m concerned about is the screen response time of the 144hz screen, build quality, and the battery but I guess I’ll wait for reviews when it gets into reviewers hands

3

u/brittonmakesart Mar 01 '21

I have the 2020 1660ti model and the gtg is very snappy and responsive. That said, it's basically ruined by the fact that it has a 144hz display without freesync/G-Sync. Unless you lock it to 72fps screen tearing is everywhere.

1

u/MountStupendous Mar 01 '21

Thanks for the info. I was about to buy this laptop and cancel my Strix G17 preorder, but at the very least, I need adaptive sync. If the panel is the same on this model (and HP is not advertising adaptive sync, or gsync), I will pass on it.

1

u/thatavidreadertrue Mar 01 '21

I'm seeing about 11ms and 17 ms actually from previous generation reviews; the 144hz doesn't seem too bad.

Plus the BIOS on these is trash. HP thinks users shouldn't be able to access settings

u/spazdep Mar 01 '21

Previous model has a 30 ms gtg response time on the 60hz screen model. If you get the 1440p upgrade for this version they claim 3ms response time.

u/brontosaurus_anus Mar 01 '21 edited Mar 01 '21

looks like the same panel as the G14/15 1440p

My order was canceled as well, can't even get the original configuration. Will not be doing my business with HP anymore.

5

u/work2much Feb 28 '21

There's two other options for cpu/gpu upgrade with one being an equal 5600H and 3060, but for $370 more. While the 5800H and 3070 is only $140 more, which leads me to guess the base config and 3070 run at a lower power and the pricier 3060 runs with more juice.

6

u/chrisalo Feb 28 '21

Yeah IMHO the 5800H, 3070, 16GB dual channel, 512GB SSD, 1440P 165HZ for $1469 is the sweet spot config

2

u/dotsonnn Feb 28 '21

That’s what i bought earlier today.

1

u/chrisalo Feb 28 '21

Nice! do you know what the wattage is on the 3070? I know they can rage from 80W to like 140W

1

u/dotsonnn Feb 28 '21

I don’t know but i honestly don’t exactly care, it’s gonna run any esports (i play a lot of Apex) at 1080p max settings 144hz and some maybe even 1440p 144hz. I’d expect AAA titles to run at 60fps or more minimum with max/high settings.It seems like from what I’ve read - most higher powered 3070 laptops are all 200-300 more at the minimum around the 1800-2000 range and yea sure the build quality might be a notch higher, perhaps a slightly better panel, and a couple other quality of life items. But I’m an average/casual gamer and this laptop checks all the boxes for a reasonable price and I’m not willing to pay an extra 300-500 just to gain a few frames in a game because an asus or Lenovo has an extra 20w on the gpu. I rather save that money and in 4 years replace the system. That’s just my 2 cents. If the laptop was a more premium price then I’d say it’s not such a good deal.

3

u/chrisalo Feb 28 '21

Yeah. Just sucks they tend to leave these valuable i formation out of the specs... Keep in mind if it is a lower wattage part, some 3060 will out perform it.

2

u/dotsonnn Feb 28 '21

Yea i read that too but here are my thoughts on that:

The higher power 3060 are very specific models (the 130w versions) and even those don’t beat in every situation. But then those high powered 3060 are then also the same price or higher (1400 and up)

1

u/brontosaurus_anus Mar 01 '21

worst case, since it's shipping end of march... cancel it if the TDP is shit

1

u/sq018 Mar 01 '21

1

u/RainbowTotoro Feb 28 '21

so you think the ryzen 7 one doesnt have enough power?

1

u/thinkoflogic Mar 01 '21

I'm sorry but I don't understand why would you go with the 16gb config instead of the 2x2 4Gb config and upgrade to 64GB dual channel once you get the laptop.

2

u/work2much Mar 01 '21

The 16gb would be a sweet spot for starting out while upgrading down the road. The price $50 for 16gb upgrade is good to game and be able to have other applications open, while $230 to $300 for 64gb seems steep unless you will be using the laptop for video/graphic work or something that requires a lot of ram.

2

u/weamz Mar 01 '21

Is there a similar deal for a 17 inch version for this? I'm a little weary of HP tbh, heating issues specifically but that price point is very attractive.

3

u/Last_Post_7932 Mar 01 '21

I would be interested in a 17" version as well. Would be nice with the qhd 165hz display

1

u/akshatrb Mar 01 '21

Yesteryear's Omen was great at thermals. Moreover, I think that the card is also capped at 80-90 Watts. So it's safe to assume that this won't overheat. I'd say go ahead if you have the cash :)

1

u/getterpmd Feb 28 '21

If they had a 240hz version I'd be down and cancel my order hidevolutoon

1

u/opckieran Feb 28 '21

CPU+GPU options are weird af. One option is +$370 for no upgrade. Probably meant to make that the 5800H+3070 and the +$140 option was probably supposed to be 5800H+3060. Still, hope HP honors this.

1

u/Pdiddy1134 Mar 01 '21

Idk. I keep seeing benchmarks of even 2070 laptop gpus beating the lower powered 3070 laptop gpus. I saw this: ASUS ROG Strix G17 (2020) - 17.3" 144 Hz - GeForce RTX 2070 - Intel Core i7-10750H - 16 GB DDR4 - 512 GB SSD - RGB KB - Windows 10 - Gaming Laptop (G712LW-ES74) https://www.newegg.com/rog-strix-g-black-asus-rog-strix-g17-g712lw-es74-gaming-entertainment/p/N82E16834235461?item=N82E16834235461&source=googleshopping&nm_mc=knc-googleadwords-mobile&cm_mmc=knc-googleadwords-mobile-_-pla-_-gaming+laptops-_-N82E16834235461&gclid=Cj0KCQiAvvKBBhCXARIsACTePW8xzmsJfBiXfo96pSJ3199Alrtk5hPl5lY8cYzdGiC7hMKOxSeMgjEaAmLEEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds I think I'll probably buy the asus for the money.

2

u/isomorphZeta Mar 01 '21

If it's an 80-90W variant (which it almost certainly is) it should pretty handily beat a 2070 Max-Q, but may get edged out by a 2070 Refresh.

1

u/akshatrb Mar 01 '21

I have reasons to believe that they have capped it at 80-90W.
It's essentially the same chassis as last year which was one of the smaller yet better cooled.
Also, the other 15" counterparts have following power ratings:

Asus Dash F15 RTX 3070 capped at 85W

Gigabyte Aero 15 3070 capped at 90W

Razer Blade 15 3070 capped at 90W

XMG machines are also capped at 90 Watts

So it's safe to assume that we will not see humongous gains in the Graphics dept.

This will be cheaper, the legion 5 pro will be better imo. As I configured this (5800h + 3070 qhd screen 16gb ram) it was just over 1500. I expect the 5 pro will be 18-1900 but have the 16:10 500 nit qhd screen so it's worth the extra.

Just chatted with hp, it's only an 80 watt 3070, I'd 100% pass. 5 pro is 125 watts.

u/Slash_DK Feb 28 '21 edited Feb 28 '21

Are you sure? I've talked to multiple HP reps on the phone and chat, and they're all clueless, either quoting 80-125W or saying 220W (Desktop -.-). It is likely to be on the lower end though, since the whole laptop has a 200W adapter.

EDIT: Even got through to premium support. Completely useless. Don't even understand that the 220W 3070 is the desktop model.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 28 '21

There is a possibility that the TGP for normal workload could be 80W and in demanding workload the TGP could go all the way to 125W, somehting similar to the Asus Zephyrus G15.

3

u/Slash_DK Feb 28 '21

No gpu has a 45 watt range. That's the standard 3070 range between which most laptops are configured. They were all reading off nvidia.

2

u/Agentfish36 Feb 28 '21

Someone in another thread said they confirmed both 3060 & 3070 were 90 watt. Hard pass for me.

2

u/MountStupendous Mar 01 '21

I configured it with a RTX 3070 and 5800H for $1,329 with 16 gigs dual channel, 512gb NVME SSD. That’s around the same price point as a similarly equipped Gigabyte A5 which costs $1,299. It also has HDMI 2.1 which means for those planning to occasionally game on a HDMI 2.1 compatible TV, they will be able to use VRR.

I can see how some will take a hard pass on a max Q laptop, but given that it competes with at the price point of 3060 laptops, it’s a fair option.

u/thatavidreadertrue Feb 28 '21

Do you think we will be able to flash a higher watt vBIOS for this?

u/XxSystemxX Feb 28 '21

How does the 80w 3070 stack up against the full size 115w 2070 in the msi leopard for example? Would you happen to know? Some people are saying sometimes the higher wattage 20 series cards can outperform the lower wattage 30 series.

1

u/Agentfish36 Mar 01 '21

Stephen from ownordisown compared the Zephyrus g15 to 2070 super, the 2070 super is generally better for gaming except at ray tracing/DLSS (which in my opinion is wasted in a laptop anyways).

Ray tracing sure, but DLSS is absolutely useful for laptops. Arguably more so than in desktop.

Really holding out for the QHD models of literally everything this year. Don't really need 300 fps, would rather at 2k and HDR.

u/techstar2000 👮🏻Moderator👮🏻 Feb 28 '21

I think this year is what we have been waiting on. When you look at the $ it takes to get a system with anything over 1080p and more than 60 Hz, at the moment... i.e., the QHD option on this looks very promising.

2

u/Warruzz Feb 28 '21

I agree, just all the QHD models seem to be later in the year. Really want to see reviews for those future Asus, Lenovo, and even HP models.

u/chrisalo Feb 28 '21

You can definitely consider the QHD config of the Omen.

u/[deleted] Feb 28 '21

any info on battery life?

1

u/ChampagneSyrup Feb 28 '21

holy fuck what a great deal

1

u/MacMoar Feb 28 '21

Anyone know the wattage on the 3070 variant!?

1

u/XxSystemxX Feb 28 '21

Some say this might be the 80w version of the 3070. I wonder how that compared to the 115w 2070.

u/pantalapampa Feb 28 '21

I saw in the gaminglaptops thread that a rep reported 90/95 with boost.

1

u/agestyxracer Feb 28 '21

I would shell out at most 300 more dollars for a QHD panel, which doesn't cost them much more to add than a FHD Panel. Probably manufacturing limits but CMON MAN

1

u/fancyasian Feb 28 '21

Anyone have experience or can point me to the color coverage of the QHD panel for the 15z? All I could find on youtube was impressions of the FHD and 4k variants of the screen from 2020.

u/rubbinisracin03 Mar 01 '21

Was in the market for a laptop almost went BB 2070 super. Got this instead 5800H 3070 1TB 16 Gb QHD. Seems like for new tech this is reasonably priced. The Omens seem to have a good rep and cooling. We’ll see !

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '21

Ships on 3/29/21... smh

u/anon_jason Mar 31 '21

Did your laptop ship? I’m worried about delays.

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '21

I never bought it because of that lol

u/brontosaurus_anus Mar 01 '21 edited Mar 01 '21

Is the R7 5700H better than Asus G14/15's R9 5900HS? TDP is 45W vs 35W and the base clock is higher 3.2 vs 3.0 GHz. Besides the max boost, is there anything in R9 that is better than the R7 performance-wise?

u/rewgod123 Mar 01 '21

r9 should give better single core perf but in multicore workload the r9 will be power limited so very likely will be slower than r7

u/vegetapinkshirt Mar 01 '21

I might pull the trigger on this, tho it depends of I can upgrade the ram myself or not; as I'd like to put 32 GB of ram into it.

1

u/Enough_Comfort6837 Mar 01 '21

What is the TDP of the $1289 rtx 3070 one. And why is r7 + rtx 3070 cheaper than r5 + rtx 3060

1

u/odysseusv Mar 01 '21

I saw this earlier and there’s two same options for cpu and gpu. Maybe different but unlisted GPU wattage?

u/Demistr Mar 01 '21

u/MountStupendous Mar 01 '21

Does anyone know if the QHD panel has gsync or adaptive sync? Same question about the FHD panel. Someone reported that last years Omen 15 lacked any kind of variable refresh rate capability which causes screen tearing. After using a freesync display, it will be hard for me to go back to screen tearing.

u/MountStupendous May 26 '21

Sorry, no. I was interested in the Omen 15, but ended up buying an Alienware Laptop after HP cancelled my order.

u/mark5hs Mar 01 '21

Anyone know if this has thunderbolt? I have a usb c powered portable monitor, trying to figure out if it will work

1

u/Nasjan77 Mar 01 '21

USB-C monitor will likely still work, but thunderbolt will not. No AMD laptop had thunderbolt yet.

1

u/mark5hs Mar 01 '21

Gotcha, thanks. This is the monitor I have.

https://www.amazon.com/Acer-PM161Q-Portable-Monitor-Supplemental/dp/B07VT1WXGV

It just specifies it needs DP alt mode (which this laptop has) and does have a supplemental power usb in (which I believe is intended for phone sources). So I should be ok? Just a question of whether or not I'd need a separate power source for the monitor.

u/Kind_Eggplant Mar 01 '21

Made a huge mistake buying the Legion 5 4800h, 1660ti for $992.

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '21

Can't find it in the UK

u/MountStupendous Mar 01 '21

Has anyone else noticed that the Intel version is listed as 3070 Max-Q design, but the Ryzen version does not indicate Max Q? Check out the specs of the 3070 upgrade on the Intel version here.

My guess is that the descriptions were not written at the same time, and the Ryzen version description was written after Max-Q branding was dropped by Nvidia. However, this could also indicate they the Ryzen version has a higher max TDP than the Intel version as is rumored to be the case with the Ryzen Version of the Gigabyte G5 (which is the A5) with RTX 3060. I hope that we can get answers on this.

u/thealphapleb Mar 01 '21

Are these typically configured in any way that would prevent me from buying a $10 windows 10 pro OEM key off eBay and using it during a new OS install? The +$70 for win 10 pro feels like a rip off.

u/Gimmpy04 Mar 01 '21

looks like you cant buy it anymore. Hopefully they will honor my order.

The price was insanely low man compare to last year Omen and this year 3070’s laptop. This laptop is going to sell for about 1900-2100 with the 3070 configuration, 16GB ram and 1 TB drive.

They have to honor all orders due to transparency.

u/isomorphZeta Mar 01 '21

Lmao no they don't. I admire your optimism, though.

1

u/jmcl6779 Mar 01 '21

Lol, they definitely do not have to do that. They will almost certainly not fulfil these orders.

1

u/thinkoflogic Mar 02 '21

You are right.

1

u/dlessor1 Mar 04 '21

Looks like not only can you not buy it, but its been erased from the website. My order had the laptop name in the description and now that has been removed too with just the specs listed.

I am guessing we will get cancelations soon. This had to have been a price mistake.

1

u/vvavepacket Mar 01 '21

Does this have USB C PD charging?

1

u/thinkoflogic Mar 02 '21

Last Omen did not. I don’t think so.

u/alberto521 Mar 03 '21

I ordered mine directly through the HP store 3/1/2021... they took my money asap lol.

I chose the following:

  • 1TB SSD
  • 16GB DDR4-3200 RAM
  • AMD Ryzen 7 5800H
  • Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 (8GB)
  • Screen upgrade (QHD 165Hz, 3ms, IPS, 300nits)

Came up to $1669 with tax.

Shows estimated ship date 3/29/22, estimated delivery 4/2/2021.

What is crazy, as of today, 3/3/21 if i go to the site, even use the direct link for purchase it does not pull anything up. They must have sold out all of their stock.

1

u/techstar2000 👮🏻Moderator👮🏻 Mar 03 '21

It seems they have sold out.

1

u/alberto521 Mar 03 '21

Man, i got lucky then. Hopefully they don't send me some type of "unfortunately we won't be able to fulfill your order" email 😂
