*** The AMD RDNA 4 Rumour Mill ***

If Gibbo did what he said and only listed 100 of the XT pulse for sale, there should still be hundreds left in the warehouse. Just not listed yet, and he did say he would release more at 3PM and 5PM (at msrp) although I expect those times to be changed now, due to the website being down.

called business, sell to whoever has the cash

They can't sell anything when the website is as good as dead

 

[Armageus]

why they don't allow forum members some kind of grace I have no idea

Because unfortunately there is always someone here who "leaks" out member discount codes etc to HotUKDeals etc and ruins it for genuine members who want them

 

[MCFC_ANDY]

OC at this very moment

Someone posted the OCuk buy page link for the Pulse on said deals site. No wonder the website is getting hammered.

So I've had one in my basket and couldn't get back to finalize payment! grrrrr

If the code is provided last second, there isn't enough time for a deals site to feed in traffic before its sold out anyway. Also it didnt happen for the 3050.

Same.

 

[iMacMart]

you wait 14:59 and I'll get back in and see no goods in your basket!!!! lol

 

[MCFC_ANDY]

well at least the bay will have plenty for sale, bad times all over again

 

[rare]

9070XT Nitro+ on the bay for over £2000 !

Are these people mentally ill?

 

[Funky-Melon]

Unfortunately, that's because it's not good for business and would drive potential customers to competitors if they got wind of it.

They've driven people to competitors themselves because their competitors at least have working websites.

I'm still in the queue for OCUK for the giggles and it now says "we are unable to estimate the wait time"

I think mods should move the failed launch discussion to the deals forum.

 

[greatash]

Wow they raised the MSRP after the first batch, its Vega all over again.

 

[muon]

Why do people think having something in your basket reserves the item for you? It doesn't.

 

[Rebel=UK=]

Same here - absolute scam.

Yeah same for me.

Yeah I managed to grab one for £569 order went through and when I refreshed the page it was showing £664. I've only been charged the lower amount so hopefully still goes through ok.

 

[iMacMart]

went thru to shipping payment and it crashed again! what the??????

was always the case. AMD subsidised a couple hundred to make them MSRP.

 

[megatron]

I'd be interested in some stats of how many requests the server is getting.

I was after a Nitro, so was already expecting to pay £700. Spent an hour trying to order after being on the OcUK site logged in and prepared since this morning. Can't have been far off being one of the first to have the Nitro+ in my basket, after adding it just as it went to preorder available, but since then ended up putting order through after an hour between cart and checkout/address at a rival for £730.

The extra £30 is worth it if I end up actually getting the card; albeit I'd still rather deal with OCUK for support/warranty, so if the website starts working again shortly I'll shift my order.

Does make it that bit closer to 5070TI pricing, but with the info they're not going to get any more common this year, and they're regularly priced between 800-1000, I've made my piece, especially as the Nitro is one of the better cards.

Funnily enough the card payment system at the rival had already given up the ghost, but Paypal worked, and have order confirmation in hand already.
