I don't work for OCUK and don't know for certain, but pretty confident you'll have that arrive at your door tomorrow.

More than likely yeah, you'll probably find DPD use an electronic booking system, and their gigantic lorry will turn up later on this evening to collect all the GPUs we have ordered which will then get trucked to the distribution hub and sorted, unless you live the arse end of no where or Ireland, you can expect delivery tomorrow.

So whats the plan for tomorrow lads?
Download AMD drivers and save to desktop. Delete existing graphics card drivers, shut down PC.
Remove connectivity (or in my case just pull out the network cable), install new GPU.
Turn on PC without internet, install drivers, shut down, re-enable internet, profit?
I have an Corsair HX 850w PSU which is roughly 12 years old but has 2 x 8 pin connectors so should be good to go.
Wonder who's will turn up first? Hopefully I have a quite day at work tomorrow (work from home) so can get a bit of time to install and test

Not really thought about how until now, but I'm pretty sure we should download and use DDU to make sure we remove every trace of Nvidia drivers before installing AMD ones, assuming you're also making the change from Nvidia to AMD.

Yup.
Because when you turn your pc on with no drivers windows will cleverly try to install some random ******** on your pc.
If you have no internet it can't.

I'm not going to bother with DDU personally, unless I start getting issues later on.

Sounds about right.

Use DDU if going from Nvidia to AMD. I bet loads of people don't bother with this and then blame the AMD drivers when most issues could be avoided. Takes a few minutes if that and potentially save a lot of hassle.
Good shout.
