or are you still "in warehouse queue" ?

Just in case some stock came in, but not enough and those left "waiting" are for a 2nd batch - doubtful as I'd expect it to not say overdue on the site, but you never know.

My EVGA card is still in the warehouse queue.

Very disappointing as I was expecting them to be in stock today. :(

Hopefully they have them in stock tomorrow or I might think about cancelling my order.
 
Mine's not shipped yet. I was pondering on changing my order but figured I could wait another day or two.

Just to let you guys know, I ordered an EVGA (superclocked version) at another popular retailer and am still being told their out of stock so it looks like everyones in the same boat. :rolleyes:
 
Considering they are'nt even stocked yet on the website, they would be doing well to ship em dont you think?

Not really mate. I pre-ordered a 7800gtx 512mb (or maybe it was a 1950xtx) and they didn't show as in stock for a week or so after I received it.

Reason for this is that ocuk were only recieving enough stock in the first few weeks to honour their preorders, hence why they weren't shown as stocked on the website.
 
Still in the warehouse here :(.

Marked as overdue on the site so head's held high for them getting stock tomorrow.

Hi there

We can't please everyone.

We had 100 BFG arrive today and we shipped them all bar 10pcs. The remainder of those will ship tomorrow. They very breifly showed in stock but were quickly gobbled up by customers.

We've also had just over 80pc of OcUK arrive today and now were down to single figures again, many of these shipped today.

We also have Asus left, but expect to sell out overnight.

EVGA are late, they could arrive anyday now and will try to get an update from them ASAP.

Also OcUK are generally the quickest at getting stuff out except this week we've been so swamped due to such a huge increase in business we've fallen a little behind with some of orders, but will be back on track for tomorrow due too staff putting in extra hours today.

Fact is with the 8800 GT NVIDIA brough this launch forward by three weeks but by doing that stock is incredibly short, a small amount of stock has been spread around and unfortunately everywhere is running out. Basically NVIDIA wanted to do a hard launch to look good. The real truth is they have done a hard launch with hardly no product availability and as such many places run out all most immediately. Good quantities of stock will follow in approx 2 weeks but for that time product will be short and at a premium. Once it frees up prices should drop a good general £20 is across the board as supply gets better.

Good news, specioaly about the prices. Do you recon this will be the case with the GTS as well?

I wasn't having a dig at ocuk, i was sure they had their reasons. I just thought that the q6600 go was also late as well, but was a while ago and i could be wrong.


On a side note. Do youi know anything about the nvida 780i comiong out on november the 12th serposidly? i can imagine these will sell well with the new Gt and GTs being cheap and powerful (we hope anyway :p)
 
Thx Gibbo
Your comms are always welcomed :)

I placed an order for the stock eVGA yesterday and hope ocuk have enough stock due in to fulfill the orders taken. If not i hope they will be forthright in letting us know, rather than waiting weeks, so we can amend our orders accordingly. ;)

Hi there

The GO chips we had in stock the same time as anyone else. When it comes to big VGA launches we also launch and have stock when we should, however unlike some other smaller places we are bound by NDA's so can't launch early or I get slapped hands.

We are aware of the new nforce boards, and will launch boards as and when they become available but won't be doing a big launch on any pre-set date for the simple fact its only a motherboard and most customers research a motherboard before diving in wheras with graphics card people go crazy and just dive in buying.

Hi there

EVGA due anyday I will try to secure date and find out if they shipped Superclocked or Reference first. Last time I spoke to EVGA they mentioned the first batch of cards had fantastic yields and as such were considering in launching the Superclock on the first batch but since then I've had no contact mainly due to been rushed of my feet. I shall find out tomorrow and update ETA's on the website as necessary.

Aww ok then my mistake i must ahve been wrong about the Go's. Are you able to comfirm the 12th of november then as ive seen very little info on the boards. Most are only a paragraph and a picture. Seems moer like rumours.

Also do you have any idea of what starting price? Im looking into them but wondering if it will force me to forfit both my arms to afford one.
