I did see a competitor selling the Reaper 9070XT for £759 as soon as it was released. That website got closed immediately

Don't forget to post pictures of that "brick in a box".

You are now in line.​

Thank you for your patience.​

Your estimated wait time is 41 minutes.​

Ah well, come summer they will be begging us to buy this silicon. I predict oversupply, in four months.

AI demand is dropping, Nvidia share price has dropped. Plus the tariff war USA vs China. No one will want Fakewell, due to poor engineering, absurd prices and bad drivers. Early adopters will have their GPU's.

So, roll on summer. I can wait. I got the 7900 XT. Only 20% on average performance gain in raster...with the 9070XT.

Exactly my plan. I'm too old to play the silly games required now on launch days!

I've been totally fine no problems -2-3 cards in 5 years on release

you're one of the lucky ones. or else you've been shopping elsewhere. since covid, and maybe even before, ocuk website has been utterly garbage, to the point i've not bought anything of value from them in years (and no longer point people to them for purchases either) - which makes me sad as i'd had years and years of sterling service prior.

Cloudflare waiting room is back up

Cloudflare has the goods. It's whatever Cloudflare is pointed at that cannot handle the load. This type of situation is when using a big cloud host is good. You can scale for big events. You either do that or setup a waiting-room/queue system. Cloudflare supports it, but obviously OCUK isn't using it.

Well that was a joke. Had a pulse in my cart at 1.58, got to the payment page and after entering card details it timed me out over and over. After 2 hours I'm told its out of stock. Well done to those who got one. I won't be buying one unless I can get it at 569.

Mine finally took payment a few minutes ago but then says 'maximum wieght exceeded' in red on the screen. No order confirmation. and can't even get to the order history since the website is constantly timing out. What a joke.

Same views as me.

'Maximum weight exceeded' means it is Out of Stock.

now I can't remove the Pulse to try and checkout with the hellhound (which was my backup choice cos it has a bios switch)

Well they better not have taken payment. I'm sick of this now.

If I'm honest, it's the limited MSRP think that probably rankles me the most. I was largely expecting the website ******** driven by a demand far outstripping the (great) supply - after all, it didn't take a genius to see the current dearth in the (worldwide) GPU market. For me it would have been better to set a realistic price and have stuck to it, rather than tosspot around with these limited subsidies. Obviously they tried to fudge the MSRP to colour the reviews so that it was more favourable at that price point, but overall I just think it has generated a lot of bad feeling and has done them absolutely no favours.

@humbug

thats just to access the entire website!

Its a con to buy good reviews.

Had one in basket but not been able to open it so giving up for now as work beckons. A great way to waste 2 hours

 

[welshrat]
