What is special about this edition? Comes with Battlefield 4 and higher clock speed maybe?

Just BF4!

Awwww... Not sure then. Really can't afford it, but I'll make it happen.

Is this "Special Edition" going to be more expensive than the normal editions that follow? Are we actually getting BF4 for free or just buying it on top once the prices come in?

I want the game and most likely (subject to reviews and spec) the card but don't like the way AMD is running this launch!

'several hundered pounds' ok cool but exactly how much will it be? I imagine most people would need to know that before pre-ordering.

I reckon approx £20 more than a normal edition, the game is worth £30-£40 I think so still worth it, though not completely free.

Over 30 pre-orders already, clearly not.

If AMD charge £500, then £401 owing, if they charge £700, then £601 owing. Customer need to expect the worse and if AMD launch at a great price you will be happy.

Gah! Been trying to pre-order the last 30 minutes but I left my wallet in the car and I can't remember my security code Plus only my old address is "confirmed" on Paypal

<edit>Gibbo - pretty pretty please could you look at my order history, see how much custom I have reliably sent your direction, and "reserve" a pre-order for me? I'll pay for it this evening ^_^ *beaming, pleading, innocent kitten-face*

we would if we could but I don't think we have any way to do that.

That said, Gibbo being Gibbo he's managed to secure the largest allocation of cards in Europe so there is a very good chance that we'll still have first wave stock left to offer later today.

Haha, t'was worth a try!

That is good news... I might even go home early this evening to up my chances slightly. So much for having a half day at work tomorrow!

Sweet offer, ideal for those who want a card guaranteed for launch

I think we will be OK, when we have pre-sold our allocation I shall remove the ability to order, so whilst you see an order button, get your order placed.

However do go home early.

It's still kinda weird about the concept of preordering something without knowing what the end cost's gonna be.

One thing though...is OcUK gonna guarantee that they won't be pricing it above the competitors on launch? Cause I can imagine many people won't be happy if the 290x BF4 Edition launch at competitors for £499.99, and OcUK decide to retail it at £530 and people preordered at OcUK ending up having to cough out £30 extra. Is OcUK gonna price match at all?

Hi there

We shall be within -/+ £15 of competitors, can't say fairer than that, so we could be a little cheaper or a little more expensive.

Reason for this is we have just confirmed a couple of our orders and they are now en-route and booked at todays dollar rate, of course our competitor might get a better/worse rate, higher/lower cost so we can never 100% guarantee to be the cheapest.

What we shall aim is to be matching our competitor who actually have product in stock!

We WILL NOT match competitors who are in dream land cooking up their own magical prices who won't be getting any stock.

Hi there

Just to clarify as well, the cards were stocking from Asus, MSI, Gigabyte, Sapphire and HIS shall all be reference design. There will not be an non-reference cards at launch!!

No specs, No price, Lol AMD.

Surely it's worth buying a 7990 now when it's a similar price bracket then???
