SAPPHIRE RX 480 NITRO NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER AT OVERCLOCKERS UK (WORLD FIRST) !!!

[Judgeneo]

Only Nitro OC, Sapphire say regular Nitro will have an update next week.

Damn, if I knew I would have the card this much sooner, I would have just paid the £10 extra

Hi there

OK I manage to source some stock from a European distributor as well, that stock arrived today!

All 8G Nitro OC cards are now cleared and shipping today/tomorrow. We won't get them all shipped today as there is literally over 500 orders and warehouse simply cannot do that volume in the time left today, so rest shall go tomorrow.

We also have around 400 units left in stock for those who wish to order today, but pricing has now increased slightly. We still expect the 400 units we have left over to sell extremely fast.

Call sales, ask them to switch you over and we shall honour the £250 price for the OC, so will only cost you the £10 extra or post in CS.

They're all 8GBs, with 4GB disabled via BIOS, its all they could afford to do, thats why they've only been able to do the one box, and sticker it, they're broke

Only the reference cards were like that, AIB dissaseblies showed empty ram spaces.

Mine shipped as well (8GB OC). FWIW, I ordered on the 24, and was 190 in the queue on the 28.

Whats the turn round on RMA's like?

I sent back an 8gb nitro OC+ today.. although DPD haven't picked it up yet so it won't be back in OCUK's hands til Thursday. Am i likely to get a replacement this week or next?

If i can't get a Nitro will i be able to swap over to one of the other cards?

Extremely unlikely, when stock arrives here it needs to be processed by booking and then goes to the RMA department, this is normally takes a few hours but can sometimes take a day.

It will then be tested by RMA guys and then action shall be taken out.

If you need RMA support best to post in CS forum and ask for Bailey, he will do what he can to speed up the process.

Gibbo any time line on the sapphire trixx for the 400 cards having real problems with wattman

Will do thanks.

Do you think the Nitro OC+ will remain in stock now or atleast arrive more frequently?

Sapphire say soon, I know they are close as I have seen the new Trixx in use, so cannot be long off now.

8gb Nitro+ OC ordered at 17:03 shipped at 17:30. Great service from OCUK.

 

[Stephenh313]

Order shipped, wasn't expecting this till monday, will be able to put it together with the rest of my build now, glad I preordered and dodge that price increase coupled with free delivery haha

Edit: or not, someone remind me to never order from different places to save money !!!

Early or late next week?

BTW I hate sapphirr now...

Just received a message from DPD saying they attempted to deliver but no one was home. Their way of saying "sorry, we were supposed to deliver it today, but couldnt quite manage it", because Ive been sitting here all day waiting for it. Why am I more impatient now that its practically on my doorstep?

 

[Gowingnator]

Just updated the driver for RX 480 8GB OC via device manager, already having the driver installed via disc. Anyone else done this?

 

[SwarfegHead]

Delivery driver called me, he was making a stop nearby and wanted to let me know if I wanted to come meet him to pick it up. I cant remember the last time I ran that fast, he must have thought I was a right eejit. But I finally have it! Woo yeah

 

[danlightbulb]

4gb version vs 8gb version. Quite a price difference for otherwise the same card. What's the verdict on this please?
