ETA now 'overdue'

I think it auto defaults to that after the set date, Gibbo said he's got some coming this week, I've asked him when we'll likely see them, just waiting for his response

Me too! I want my new shiny shiny

Wanted this card for a while now but now I've paid for it I can't wait

I have a hunch Gibbo is following this thread and thinking "just let them wait"

Let us all Know the results of your OC attempts and benchmarks plx once these cards arrive, possibly in a 7970 OC thread?

pgi947 · 29 May 2012 at 11:56

Will do though I won't be trying anything too heavy until I get a waterblock for it

The new batch has landed, showing 3 in stock I hope that's the figure after pre-orders have been filled.

now 5 in stock, must be still unloading. wonder if preorders have been taken off already?

I remember when everyone spammed the 10p AMD hat deal, OCUK said their system went into negative figures so I'm assuming the 5 in stock are extra over the pre-orders?

I hope there is enough for my replacement after the RMA, would hate to have to wait another week. Had the card for about 12 hours until a fault showed through and made the card practically unusable, would hate to have to wait 2 weeks for my RMA to be processed due to stock levels.

Though I paid £370 for mine when it was on the deal, if I got a refund and bought another one I would end up paying £449.

Ah, so you bought it when? It was only put to 379.99 on Friday if im not mistaken... regardless, it seems that indeed you're better off waiting for rma.
