OcUK GUIDE TO ORDERING YOUR AMD 9070 GRAPHICS CARD TODAY AT 14:00

Ugh, haven't got mine yet! Will have to keep refreshing my emails. What time did you pre-order yours?

It was about 23:00 on Thursday (6th).

I'd been trying (and failing) to get one of the in stock cards, but the web site just kept failing on me. So late on I looked again, all stock gone, but the XT Nitros were still available for pre-order, so I just went for it. (I like Sapphires anyway).

Ah ok, so they obviously aren't done in the order they were placed, as I did mine at 7pm Thursday (with next day before 10:30am shipping). Think that would really annoy me if all the orders weren't going to be fulfilled by this drop. There definitely needs to be a queue system.

Quick q, I noticed in the confirmation email it states this:

Delivery Method: Premium Delivery (Arriving 2 working days (Mon-Fri))

Does this mean in could be Monday before it turns up? Or do these sometimes arrive overnight?

Sorry for the late reply. Havn't had much time to test further but in Assassins Creed Odyssey was getting fps in the low 90's with CPU at 100% but GPU was only around 80% using less than a 100 watts. Edit: Should have mentioned my res. is UW 1440p.

Interesting... I have that game so will try a similar test and see how it goes. Thanks for the reply. Not had a chance to do anything more than 10 mins on elden ring so far!

Depends which shipping you selected at checkout I guess? Normally they are fairly quick to ship

It will be shipped today after that it depends on the courier DPD but likely you will get it tomorrow
 
I wonder if they are working through the Nitro pre-orders in reverse order, the stack of paperwork as it came off the printer? lol. I placed mine around 16:15, but not heard anything yet.

The XT Nitro+ Sapphire state 16 link, see TPU review (W1zzard has count on VRAM wrong 2+1 not 3+1), link. GPU 10+3 VRAM 2+1 =16 phases.

Pulse drops 2, link. Pure drops 2, link. Pure is not 14 and Pulse is not 12, both are same, link.

Currently there are only 2 types of VRM "makeup" I have seen so far on XT.


Higher phase count, greater power handling capability.
Higher phase count, may result in cleaner power delivery as more components.
Higher phase count, just due to extra components used, the power is spread through more components, may result in cooler running VRM.

Monolithic MPS MP87993 DrMOS apparently 90A used on XT Nitro+, so you have quite a lot there. Most use that mosfet, as the controllers for VRM are Monolithic Power Systems MP2868A.

Some I have seen use same controller, but slightly differing mosfet from Monolithic, perhaps older version of mosfet, one card a non XT I think had 50A IIRC.

I stand corrected on the Pulse. I genuinely thought it stated 12 when I went through Saphire's documentation.
I didn't intend to spread misinformation, just a genuine mistake.
