*** 5800 Series Update ***

I wonder what my rights would be if i bought and paid, up front for a new house, told everything was ready for me to take delivery in a few days, paid extra so i could decide when to move. but when the time came to move in, could not because the roof had not arrived, apparently poor yealds from slate suppliers!
Told 60 new Carlos fandango super dry XFX roofs will definatly arrive friday, monday at the latest, but if i want one i will have to pay extra. this i agree to as i have no home and urgently require one.
In frustration i check ads and forums for inspiration on what to do next, there i find all kinds of talk from others in same boat saying no chance of getting my roof this year, but i can possibly (after another drawn out wait) at even further expence (Twice original quote) get a new double decker roof to complete my dream home, but these are limited and will require money up front. Further investigation revealled these new super x2 roofs are made from the very same slate factory (who seem to be able to produce very expensive slate, no midrange, and lots of substandard slate that will need to be renewed far earlier than the other two).
Would the builder not be in court, or appearing on the next watchdog.

Of course i could always change houses again, accept a substandard or older style roof, or even cancel order completly, but i say " its my dream house i really want it, i have paid for it, and if i back out now i will still need a house and will no doubt end up on the bottom of someone else`s queue".
 
My order has changed from "in our warehouse queue" to "printed in our warehouse". Does that mean my order going through today!?

Same. I think your card is asus too..

Damn my long waiting seems to be over (29.9).. "printed in our werehouse" should be collecting and shipping time if I´m right..
 
Funny isn't it, not supposed to be able to get 5800's, yet these guys are selling them 2 at a time now, honestly, the amount of back orders that could have been shifted, some people have been waiting nigh on 2 months now, but AMD are just using your cards for the 5970's. :/

The people that bought a 5970 would have probably went for a Xfire 5800 system if the 5970 wasn't released- so whats the difference?
Also I highly doubt that money is the main reason behind the release. Firstly they have a roadmap, and they want to stick to that. Secondly, they want the fastest GFX card crown. These might make an extra $20 for Ati, but with a volume in the thousands, it won't make any difference to a balance sheet that is measured in millions.

Yeah it is, I'm going to give them a call in a bit, see what it means.
 
Just spoke to a competitor and they seem very sure they will take delivery on 1st Decemeber (for the 5870s) for the Saphire version to satisfy all pre-orders. That will do for me, i can get the rest of my rig here and have it installed well in time for xmas.
 
Stilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Waiting!
 
Yeah been waiting on a system with 2 5870's in for 3 weeks now. Apparently the cards that were marked to go in mine this week (so it could be shipped on 18th) got sold to someone else... great

Now I'm back on this waiting list...I may just cancel it now tbh

u should build a system yourself and it'll be cheaper
 
Starting to think the same myself, spend the money in the new year sales - sure to get a better deal and hopefully actually receive something, rather than total silence.
To everyone who say`s it not OC`er fault, i say they sold and took the money for a system they know they could not deliver.
Getting more and more dispondant...............
 
i do agree with above..

i said this on page 3 "OC takes your money straight away, so your more in your right to complain or whatever. if they didn't take the money then i think people wouldn't be getting mad or complaining ... "
