I can see the benefit of those things, personally however, the 2 year swap out deal with OCUK on the XFX cards was the clincher.
Fatboy, can you, please, tell me, why I have not been sent the XFX 5850 I ordered on Wednesday when there was 3 in stock (OC898491)? My status is saying "in warehosue queue". I think I made the order in time as e.g. here in the forums there was one customer who successfully changed his/her order to XFX and this request was done 21 minutes after I had placed my order and another customer got delivery for order that, based on the order number, was probably placed after my order.
Your ordered your card as 12.23 as did a lot of other people I am afraid and we have oversold on the product. We do have more XFX due in today / monday so the delay will not be too long.

Hi fatboy,
Just a quick question mate, i'm looking to pick one of these up at the beginning of next month after i have been paid. Is it likely you are going to still be having stock issues at this point? I understand with the 5850 just being released they are going to be quick to go but it seems you're only getting small deliveries at the moment. I was just wondering if you're likely to get a big shipment before then so i don't have to get in the pre-order queue.

Done
Thanks a lot, mate!
I really wish i could give you a solid answer on the stock situation but I can not.
The way I see it is we are geting very small quantites directly from all AIB's and with it being a new process they are struggling to get the chips out in any large volume. plus the fact that it is such a good product and demand is high I don't believe we will see any large volume of these for at least a good few weeks. With the fact that it has been golden week and production has virtually stopped and nothig has shipped out this has also amplified the effect.
Also from a business point of view the 5870 X2 is just round the corner so they are going to be making these above the standard 5870 as of course they are worth more money. Not saying that this is based on any fact at all but it's the way i read the situation from my point of view.

All cards are on pre-order so you can place your order and get in the queue. New egg do some serious figures so they get good alllocations whether or not they had 1000's of cards I wouldnt' know but they are capabe of doing 1000 cards in minutes.
Didn't mean queue. I mean is it possible to have 'balance' to pick available card when I wish? Why I'm asking is because hear all these stuff on my local about you need papers after paid and such so as I figure that one out is figure everything clean & then see when somethings available.

Unfortuantely not. But if you place for a pre-order card I can shuffle the roder around so you get what you want.
