*** The AMD RDNA 4 Rumour Mill ***
- Thread starter humbug
- Start date
Had my bank text me the code I need to verify my pulse purchase and went oos when I put the code in
Same here. I got caught off guard and didn't have my card. By the time I put in the details and did the verification... too late
But I saw in the other thread lots of folks got one. Congrats to anyone who did and isn't a bot/scalper.
Looking forward to folks showing them off in their builds!
Power bills...
Small builds...
Are you sure you're talking about PC gamers? It sounds more like console talk to me

A lot of people love SFF builds, they may not be my cup of tea or yours, but they are popular.
If you can eat for a month after buying a new GPU then you aren’t serious about this hobby.

Cloundflare...that b****dy piece of softwareAnd yeah I couldn't get onto OcUK or the forums, thanks to Cloudflare
...1 sec past 2pm uk time, I was locked out, no matter I'd logged in and set my delivery/billing address to my uk home addressGibbo said the nitro+ was on its way (via air freight iirc) and would be available to ship within a couple of days from launch (today) so all going well through customs you probably have your card middle of next week.

How frustrating, you'd think if you've got that far the system would lock the stock for 5 minutes so you can do the security verification
There's more to this tweet... but seriously? The finest example of stating the stupidly obvious I've seen in a while.
He thinks that's a profound retort to AMD's success in this launch because he is an idiot, i've been saying it for years, an idiot who acts like a man with a petulant grudge.
Manufactures Suggested Retail Price. The manufacturer, in this case AMD can only suggest a retail price, they cannot enforce it, i think AMD have been doing all they can to encourage that price.
£570 and then £630 is not AMD doing this, AMD are not on the phone to Gibbo telling him minute to minute what to price these cards at, that is OCUK doing this and AMD do not get a penny of this £60 inflated price, once again i want to emphasize they cannot enforce the £570 price.
This man is an idiot, with a grudge.

Yea, having my bank verify my purchase should have technically purchased the card lol
Tried to get a reaper after the pulse went oos when trying to verify but missed that as well. Not too happy they have gone up to £629, So missed the £569 because of the bank and then a price hike. I wont be getting one if there is no more £569 ones. I will just keep hold of my 3080 for another couple of years and drop the settings.
there is no point begging these companies for MSRP, the only thing and the most import thing anybody can do is DONT BUY if its above MSRP, that way they will drop the price if demand falls but unfortunately people cant control the FOMO. Like I said previously AMD should have sold bog standard MSRP priced cards on their own website to sidestep all the shops, scalpers and middle men, ect ect. If anybody wants a more fancier model and wants to pay more then they can buy those from retailers.
It's not ocuk doing it either, ocuk are reliant on rebates, which the aib's are limiting, AMD are the rebating the AIB's which I am of the understanding that AMD are limiting the amount of rebate also.
From other posts by gibbo looks like he's paying over MSRP for the cards himself.
Though maybe AMD do have control of the pricing
The only way to explain this is that the MSRP, which is set by AMD is a lie.
No, they i think originally were meant to be $650, a lot of retailers bought stock months ago, including OCUK; i have no doubt at that $650 MSRP, that's what the rebates are for and its why they are; to quote Gibbo "limited" its only to cover those GPU's bought by retailers at the original $650 MSRP, new batches would be, i think bought at the new $600 MSRP, so no need for rebates on those.
