I'm thinking about ordering a Gigabyte 5850 ... whats the typical turn around on these at the moment from order to delivery, are there any brands that are currently coming through quicker than this one?

Hi Fatboy, I spoke to someone in sales support regarding a pending order of mine and I've been told you're the man to speak to about the 5870s. I'm waiting for one to come in to complete a finance order which was put in on the 14th of October and without this equipment i38 will be quite boring for me!

Do you have an ETA of when the 5870's are coming in? I've been told you should be getting about 60 odd either this week or the beginning of next week.
 
Fatboy,

Sam, (the sales team leader, said you'd know who he was) suggested I post here if I wanted to hear off you.

I placed an order a week last Sunday (OC906375) before you posted that there were 55 spare Sapphire 5850s. I'm still yet to receive one and was told I was allocated a card on Friday but it then got sent to someone else.

I'd really like to understand why this was when I already paid for it?

Sam says it'll be weeks before anymore 5850s come in. Absolutely great when I rang up twice last week (speaking to Linzi and James) and was assured my order would ship on time and consequently wasted a days holiday.

What is your order number ?
 
Fatboy any update on when the next 5870 Saphires are coming in?

Sorry if i've missed a post about them, at work at the moment and can't really surf for very long.

To be honest I do not have a clue what happened to your order, I will have a look into it in detail. Good news is I have found an XFX 5850 I will ship this today for you if this is ok ? Sorry again for the problems and inconvenience caused.

Thank you, i'd be very happy if you could do that.

I have no firm ETA on any 5870 at all I am afraid I can not give you an accurate date on anything.
 
Sorry to whine if thats what its called, rang yesterday about the last item im waiting for on my order which is you guessed a XFX 5850 card, yes they were on pre order when i ordered im not complaining. The nice person on the phone told be definatly before end of week, i ring today now im told more than likey be this week or maybe next... Ok i understand there in high demand thats not a problem but I like some more idea of where i am on the long list, weather i should just order a different card for now, really want to build my new system up for the weekend/monday at the very latest.

My order number is 910883.

Thanks for your time.

Also trying to find out when my order will be ready. Took the day off as I was told I would receive my order today, cry. OC908113. Thanks.
Oh and another thing. I would suggest not putting pre-builds as 10+ in stock, when you know all the parts are not in stock yet.

I don't have a firm eta of any 5870 Part. Your system will take priority and I will try my very best to get your order despatched as quickly as possible.
