Yea that's what I thought ;/ Ah well I live in hope!

i think its outstanding service how they go out of their way to keep everyone posted on the forums, and you can make changes and speak to the people in charge. It really sets OC apart from all those other automated faceless companies out there. Good work fatboy ill be buying from you guys in future and ill take a card as soon a smy refund goes in

still says over 10 in stock on the gigabyte ones? are they less popular because they have a poor rma system or after sales service?

The XFX have a 2 year priority warranty, the Gigabyte dont. There is absolutely nothing "wrong" with the Gigabyte ones its just that given the choice at the same price id rather go XFX.

id like a 2 year one minimum myself, gigabyte just offer a year that would explain why nobody wants one then. Some do more than 2 years i thought 2 yrs was bare minimum. Gigabyte should have the faith to at least do 2 years to match competitors

The Gigabyte ones do have a two year warranty according to the OcUK website. Just not a priority warranty.

Think it just that OcUK deal with it rather than having to return to the manufacturer.

You guys must be rubbing your hands with delight with these new DX11 cards as you clearly can't keep up with demand!

[pieman109]

"Fatboy", are there sufficient gigabyte 5850 cards in stock so I can order one tomoz and get it on wednesday, or are there still bucketloads of pre-orders to fill?
Cheers
