I've cancelled my pre-order and got a ref cooled one.

it's fine tbh, it does get hot at doom@1080p everything on max - 84c max, fan stopped at 59%

sits above 120fps 99% of the time.

I took it because my case is tiny(just long enough to fit the card and exhaust fan imo was better choice.

So close to them being here

Are your international orders being sent at the same time as the U.K orders? I was told a couple of days ago that I was 250th in line, so mine should be shipping very soon no? Was the place in line I got told likely for the OC version or all Nitros?

Thanks

Sounds like an amusing way to find out how many people are pre-ordering, put in an order now, send webnote, find your position then cancel

I never would have thought when I decided I wanted a new graphics card 6 months ago it would have led to being part of a revolution, but here I am, an AMD fanboy now more than ever, diligently waiting for the gifts from my new overlords. Hire me and do what you want with my body AMD!

Undervolt my friend, you'll knock at least 5c off the temperatures and can run a lower fan speed.

What is the default voltage in Wattman and Asic of your GPU? Mine was 72.3% Asic and 1137v at default and runs happily at 1050v.

I ordered mine on the 25th. I'll post here when I receive notice so others who have ordered before/after me have an idea of timings

I'm not going to bother the team at OCUK, I can wait, after all it's just a toy It certainly feels like time stands still when you've placed a pre-order though. It's a bit like being a small boy again the night before Christmas!

I ordered mine that day too and didn't have your level of restraint - I had to ask

I was told that amazon orders meant it was only an approximate figure but that I was approximately 200th in the queue, which honestly was better than I thought it would be. No dispatch yet but fingers crossed for the next few days

Just called OCUK. Looking like at least 5th August for next shipment, although it is expected to be larger.

Folks on reddit posting they've gotten their Powercolor Devil cards already.

Interesting, I ordered on the 25th too, dunno about anyone else but I kinda broke several of my own rules doing so:
No reviews for the card
Not a 2x or more increase from my current card (7870 XT)
Doesn't cover my future upgrade path (I want a huge monitor)
Not a clear price/performance winner, the 1060 gives it a serious run for the money which for me is the first time I've had to think about an nVidia card.

While the card is not here in my grubby mitts I just keep wondering if I should have spend 50% more and got a 1070 and to hell with the G-Sync premium.

Had the same dilemma last night. Tried to put through an order for the £460 GTX 1070; however the payment failed and it gave me a night to sleep on it (fate intervened maybe)?

So torn as what to do. Nitro is still at least a week away. Not sure if a GTX 1070 or Nitro + OC is better price/perf on my 1920x1200(non adaptive sync) monitor.

Mines due between 10:14 and 11:14

As somebody who is like under 150th in line, this is disappointing AF news.

Rovman · 28 Jul 2016 at 09:25

Mine was Due between 10:00 - 11:00 but i'm not home so have had to get it sent to a DPD Pickup point.

I really hope I can collect it today!

Maybe it was just 30 cards in that initial shipment. Next gen will be out before these things ship lol.
