Fatboy,

It seems that I'm now cleared for my identity and I wasn't in time, as I'm now in queue for a Powercolor. Could you change my order to a Gigabyte that are coming in on monday? If I'm not too late for them too, that is... OC893695

Thanks.

Done

Muchos gracias. ^^

Edit: Is it possible to know if I'm in the 40 lucky ones that are going to get theirs from the monday batch, or should I stop spamming this thread and wait patiently?

To be honest there is quite a lot spare. Over 50% of the stock. Product ahs been feeding in all week so keeping up with demand.

Awesome. Going to hint my 5850-craving buddies too.

No worries is it all fixed now do you need any help with this ?

Nah thanks, you've done enough, DPD will be used to my stupidity by now and it will come tomorrow. I've altered my work address for future orders as well

AT the moment it is looking like Sapphire and gigabyte for Monday depending on fowarders and the problems that shipping these cards seems to involve for us at the moment. I have very small amounts of XFX, VTX & Powercolor over the next few days but these are not going to even touch the sides of the back orders.

Hey there - been waiting two days to get validated so I can post here. *Most* frustrating watching everyone getting their toys while I watch from the sidelines

I placed an order for an XFX card on the 3rd October (OC891581) - I asked Cust.Serv. if they could swap it for a powercolor while they seemed to be plentiful, only to miss out by a few hours. I really don't care which sticker is on the tin, so if there is alternative stock around tomorrow or Monday then I'd much appreciate anything you can do....

Thanks,
David.

Thanks Fatboy

Smack an order on for Sapphire and I will be able to juggle it to what ever arrives first. That is the best way of doing it.

Plenty of spare stock you will be fine.

Problem is we have a lot of back orders for this part. And the quantity we are receiving is not keeping up with the demand. There is no difference between any of the cards anyway I would suggest the sapphire part.

reflux · 9 Oct 2009 at 13:16

Just bought a VTX 5850. Couldn't be bothered paying £20 extra at a competitor for a Sapphire. I hope I get it and you're not oversold! Can you confirm my order please Fatboy? OC895393
