6600XT Stock and Release Time?

[bizzehdee]

I remember reading on an other thread (cannot find it now) that OCUK has/will have 6600XT stock on release day (today).

Is there an ETA on what time these cards will be buyable?

I ask because i need to get myself a new GPU for a non-insane price, currently stuck with a RX550 (because my RX480 died with my PSU and motherboard after a weird power surge issue at my house), and the 550 struggles to hit a reasonable FPS even on the desktop .

Yes we have lots of stock, launch is 2pm, might go live a few minutes earlier.

Thanks Gibbo, managed to grab myself an ASUS dual for what seemed to be an offer price looking forward to receiving it and actually having a decent gpu

If your snagged one at £329 then you got very lucky as Asus only shipped us 30 units at a supported price and they over sold in less than 60 seconds. Only 4 units over sold and we have 50 more units to book in now at a higher price but we can honour the small amount that over sold.

I did snag one at that price, paid, and then went back to the product page to see the price had gone away (unless you use the inspect element thing to remove the overlay) to see that the price had jumped by nearly £100

Yep the supported stock over sold, good work on getting one at the deal price, the regular price is like £90 more.
