How long does it take OCUK to stock new graphics cards?

Hey just out of curiosity if the new cards do come out in November, how long would it take OCUk to actually get these in stock ready to be sold to those that did not reorder. I presume there wont be as many people buying them straight off the bat like they did with the G80s if they are the high end cards which we hope for.

Well if its anything like the 7800GTX / 8800GTX they had them on the day of release

Yeah these guys will no doubt be a launch partner, so will have them days before the release, ready and waiting to be sold on the day.

If it's anything like the 6800u/x800xt it could be several months before stock is available in large quantities

Thankfully it seems that after the 2004 fiasco, NV/ATI have wisened up to the fact that paper launches do no-one any favours.
