590 surely.

Yes but something far more tempting and I foresee us selling thousands of cards come 2pm Thursday!

Now time to get in the plane to Asia and sit eating my popcorn.

 

[Gibbo]

huh?

Thursday 2pm all shall be revealed, let’s just say AMD just owned Black Friday and Christmas as many shoppers shall be very happy!

 

[Gibbo]

Why do this! Instant hype.

Because I can!

 

[Gibbo]

I take it people whom bought Vega 56's for 350 a week or two ago are going to be regretting their choice?

I'm taking a punt on a 250 pound Vega 56? Or a 250 pound 590 deal with loads of games?

The Red Dragon price won’t be changing and as it’s one of the best Vega 56 on market if not best no one will be disappointed.

Does not mean your wrong on your punts, wait and see!

 

[Gibbo]

Not in the slightest bit interested in a 590, still going to be less than vega 56 performance (given the price point it is entering at)

Now vega 56 for <£300 and 64 for <£350 would be interesting but I highly doubt that..... and if the prices are as low as being suggested in here then chances are it will be for crappy OEM cards and not the likes of the powercolour models

Yes Powercolor and Sapphire are the absolute best when it comes to AMD cards, which is why they tend to carry a premium.

 

[Gibbo]

Yes, but also no/not quite?

Confused.

Free upgrade to Navi (in 2020) with every 590 purchase?

AMD is not a charity!

 

[Gibbo]

Neither is my wallet

Stale mate!
GYWO !!!!

 

[Gibbo]

Interesting, hoping the offer lasts until Saturday night. I will know if the house is sold

That’s why I’m giving you a heads up as sales will be insane so no one can’t say they missed out and then cry a river of tears!

 

[Gibbo]

As I said in the CPU thread, expect some pretty nice CPU deals almost 100% chance on £119 R5 1600, not sure if OCUK are taking part, I'd be surprised if they aren't.

There will be CPU deals but we’ve sold all our 1600’s now and as we have 1600X in stock at £139.99 the 1600 does not make much sense for us.

 

[Gibbo]

2 for 1 Vega's with an updated driver on Thursday that enables Crossfire automagically on any game you play at 75-100% scaling!!!

Well Big Bang driver comes out next month as per previous years.

 

[Gibbo]

I wonder which AIB forgot they had 40,000 GTX 1080 Ti's in crates in a warehouse somewhere a la Raiders of the Lost Ark, and are now shifting them at £499 through OCUK etc.

Nope our best 1080ti was £579 deal won’t be beaten or repeated.

1080ti are like gold dust now those who listened and grabbed one good on them. Struggle to find new under £600 for a decent cooler card now on 1080ti !

 

[Gibbo]

Thursday is pay day, why do you do this to me?

Good timing and hello from Bangkok, can’t believe it’s 35c and sunny in November, lovely!

 

[Gibbo]

@Gibbo any SSD deals on black friday?

Yes but shall come on 23rd

 

[Gibbo]

Because the HD4000/HD5000 series worked out,right?? People on large US forums pushing GTX960 cards over similarly priced R9 290 cards,says it all TBH.

The fact is if a £158 RX570 8GB which is 40% to 50% faster than a GTX1050TI 4GB,with three games including a major release(which cost £40 at that time),cheaper than a GTX1060 3GB,and with 5GB more VRAM,can't work and you think it needs to be an RX590 8GB against a GTX1050TI 4GB,its better that they just don't bother,and let Nvidia all of the market.

Am glad someone gets it.

People really wanting a 590 for £150 or even £200 need to come back down from button moon it’s not going to happen unless you was a very special promo. To sell at such a price would simply bleed money and that would be very bad for AMD, if they don’t make a profit how long do people expect them to survive.

Maybe people forgot that as you have said they already have 570 8G at £159 and 580 8G at £199 which is incredible value, even more so when free games are included and it’s working for them.

 

[Gibbo]

So guys

Remember it’s 2pm today, shall only be Sapphire!

I shall give you a preview around 11-12 but no promises because my ability to get on internet sometimes out here in Asia can be difficult depending on my location as I’m doing a lot of travelling around so WiFi or good data can sometimes be a nightmare.

 

[Gibbo]

Here is the preview I promised!

The prices will go live around 13:00 and 590 will appear at 14:00







Hi there


Boy do we have something really incredible for you guys, after a meeting with AMD and Sapphire last week between them they were able to come up with an absolutely fantastic exclusive deal for Overclockers UK on our top selling Sapphire cards, as Sapphire is our no.1 AMD brand we wanted to deliver to our customers the cards you would buy anyway and now we are really making it irresistible for you to resist these incredible deals.

So first things first, AMD's latest game bundle is hand on heart the best games bundle I've ever witnessed to be given away in my 20 years experience in this industry. Yes they are giving away $180 worth, around £150 in AAA gaming titles all due for release in 2019, so these are games many of you have on your wish list. Here is the games bundle:

Also remember AMD cards are like a fine wine, they improve with age due to the GCN architecture which means the performance of AMD cards with GCN architecture get faster and faster over time with driver updates. Also remember were approaching the BIG BANG time of year where AMD will release their annual BIG BANG driver and this year in typical fashion there shall be some performance gains for VEGA and RX series with the BIG BANG driver due in December!

So I repeat prices live around 13:00 and 590 online at 14:00

 

[Gibbo]

@Gibbo Nice price on the Vega 56! Any deals on the memory and CPU's today?

There should be a Black Friday section on site around 2pm and there might be some but it’s hard to organise everything when I’m otherwise of world with limited internet and big time difference.

More deals on other components will appear next Friday for sure but the AMD deals are as above.

 

[Gibbo]

@Gibbo

Any deals on power colour vega 56?





Also how does the sapphire vega 56 compare to powercolour 56?

It shall be £349 again soon, cards are similar but I think powercolor cooler is a little better.

 

[Gibbo]

And worth every penny is that card!

@Gibbo - What are the 2 games with the RX570, want this for my daughters build?

Your choice!
You can pick 2 out of the 3! Which is why such great offer, I’d advice take Resident Evil 2 and Division 2.
