@Gibbo I'll definitely be ordering on Thursday. Desperately need a card. Can't wait!

Genuinely excited about black friday this year.. Will see how it goes.

 

[thenewoc]

Curious to see the attempt at getting me to hit the buy button... If it's genuinely black Friday worthy then there's a possibility.

Well, I've bought a One X now so not interested in GPUs, but have just piled into some more AMD stock. Dis better be good

i am normally super excited for black friday, before getting a 1080ti last month my previous 2 major pc upgrades had been BF deals.

however i went against my better judgement and took gibbo at his word that 1080ti stock would not last as long as black friday and the £580 was going to be as good as it gets. I must admit i will be dissapointed if there are any fire sale deals on those, however there is always a chance of a good deal on the 2080 or 2080ti i suppose.

I dont think AMD have anything that high end, esp for those of us without a freesync screen tho i must admit i am interested with what gibbo posted.

Can’t see this being any good imo. I have a 980 already and I’m not interested in the game bundles.

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

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

[jeff83nz]

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.

I think it goes up a qeek early sif reading Gibbos posts right.

I am still running a HD7990 which I purchased from Gibbo on his last deal for that card.

Maybe this time I will buy a new card, the HD7990 has been a great card but I am longing for a new upgrade

I hope you get sunburn lol

Yes, these aren't a Black Friday deal. I think Gibbo's comment means AMD will have owned BF and Xmas because everyone will have handed them all their money before then.

To be honest, I have mix feeling about Black Friday this year.

I mean I REALLY want to update my current system or build a new one, but knowing the fact that the 7nm is arriving soon make it really difficult to decide now would be a good time for the upgrade/update. We are not talking about going from 14/12nm to 10nm, but to 7nm so it's a pretty huge deal!!

Got to feel sorry for Gibbo on that one, OCUK firesale the 7990s for like £400 as nobody wants them, then the next week the mining boom kicks off and 7990s are worth £800 xD

 

[LoadsaMoney]

Have to say I'm curious, however I just can't see this being a compelling offering for anyone who already has 290/480 perf cards. Regardless of software bundle.

Yeah i can't see 480s flying off the shelves, no matter what the price, they're bloody ancient now.

 

[doodah]

Hhhhmmm how does a 980Ti compare to a V56/64? I bought it second hand and it's great but a reasonably priced Vega would be tempting so I can jump on the Freesync bandwagon.

I am having similar thoughts, and also trying to factor that into my choice of new monitor.

It looks from reviews like the Vega 64 at least is a fair whack more powerful than the 980Ti.

I'm also interested in how it compares to a 2070 (as another potential upgrade) and seeing what the price difference between the two will be come Thursday...

Just scanned the Monitors sub forum and it seems there aren't a great deal of options in the 1440p/non-TN realm that isn't too expensive. Will definitely keep an eye on this though.
