Considering they're one if not the largest "boutique" desktop builders.

Offering this means the end of shortage is near...

Noticed how the 3060ti suddenly became easier to get once the 66ooxt were realeased

You have to bring your entire Desktop PC over to AS by hook (courier) or by crook (self transport)? And this for the chance to upgrade to an RTX 3000 series card 10 months after it came out? What an 'experience'.
Worst off, those who will actually be transporting their PCs back, their PCs will not have the same packaging for the internal components that helped keep the parts in place. Without it, their GPU and other components are going to shake a lot without anything to stop the parts from being thrashed around. This is going to be an experience that might bite them in their behinds.

I think this is the case. AS definitely sold a lot of systems as a result of people wanting to get their hands on a RTX 3000 series card. So as they frantically secure more GPUs, it is highly likely that the sudden drop in mining demand caught them by surprise and demand for their system has plummet. So now they offer an "olive branch" for their existing customers. The question is how much are they asking for the upgrade? I feel they may have secured the cards at a premium, so it is possible they will still be charging a premium for the upgrade.

I feel the reason is so that people don't get the card and then resell it as brand new. So they "help" you to install into the system. Moreover their cards should be OEM type, so no nice fancy boxes to pass on to their customers.

Dont complain later say zotac arh or PNY

 

[DaNuker]

Are they intending to upgrade you out of a non-LHR card for a higher spec LHR version?

That way they can refurbish then sell the non-LHR second hand to miners, double dip profit.

 

[yang_nastyman]

Would be interesting to see the price points that they offer.

My take is they may have inventory to clear, and since they're not in the business of selling standalone cards, this is the best way to get customer engagement and sales.

All the better if the market is flooded by cards. GPUs one year out should not still cost 2x msrp.

 

[khaleelrs]

Knowing carousell people will still be trying to sell their 2nd hand gpus at 2x msrp

 

[KYZT2021]

No worries, now AS bundle the card with the whole system, and no box for it so essentially no warranty cos miner dont need it

I think there will be people that don't mind as long as the price is right. After all, Aftershock will still need to honor any warranty claim.

Interested to see how they pricing the GPU

 

[yang_nastyman]

Pricing wise you can email them to check.

Ive been told its slightly higher than some SLS prices.

That's why I feel they likely will charge a premium for it. 3060Ti is still not so bad, but 3070 @ 1.3K is a little on the steep side.

 

[Ahsyak]

Not bad, anyone gonna try it out?
