8800GT Stock?

Galea said:
Apparently neither mine... :( Either that, or he's busy checking on the next stock of Evga SC and whether all the Zotac's arriving tomorrow are allotted...

;) @ Gibbo

After all, I 'got' my BFG at the old price... it's worth giving mine up for the Zotac so that you sell the one allotted to me at the new price?

HI there

EVGA I am in the dark, they supposedly shipped days ago but I've stop believing anything EVGA say. :(

Zotac is with courier, fingers crossed for tomorrow, if not then Monday and yes all Zotacs have now been taken.

Me :confused:
I ordered on 6th of november, the Crysis edition, when it still said ETA 16 / 11
Then they moved it back to 23 / 11 (tomorrow)
I sent em a webnote, and they said stock would arrive on 23 / 11 and they would dispatch as soon as possible
Now the ETA says 30 / 11...:(
Does this mean that we may still get ours in a couple of days? hat the 30 / 11 is for people who haven't preordered one and they have already allocated all the preorder stock?
I hope so :(

OMG WTF RRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGG i new it was gonna go back, this is unbelievable :(:mad::( , all my parts are here, £500 worth , and i havnt got a graphics card to put in ! O my im gonna faint, bloody 30th now, and bet its gonna go back once more, the day before they are set to arrive it took back a extra week, My gone im frustrated, i allso pre ordered one when it said 16th, and allso a cooler, so they have £240 of my money :( and for all we know could be months. im gonna cry :mad:

hope your rite about, well get ours
 
I had the Crysis edition pre-ordered but due to extreme lack of news on it's arrival and awfully late delivery dates I changed to the BFG OC2, which is faster but without Crysis. But, what's more important eh? Oh and the OC2 will be in on Monday according to Gibbo.

err,

understood, but that statement surely does not help the situation. We have money attached to these orders which has already been costed and paid to ocuk, in my case part of a very substantial order on hold which I am on the verge of cancelling, so you can understand if we get annoyed when we are STILL being given the run around.

i know it's not u r fault and at least you are bothering to post here which is nice to see ;)

out of interest, how many EVGA's are pre-ordered ??

Thanks for the update.

I can't say that I wouldn't have preferred a reply to my webnote this morning (when the Zotacs hadn't been taken - there were 8 left some 2 hours ago) but that's fine with me, because after all the difference between the Zotacs and the BFG OC2 was only the clock speeds of 700/2000 vs 675/1950 respectively which is very minimal for performance.

At least I'm assured that out of the 400 BFG OC2's arriving next Monday (hopefully!), 307 had been allotted, and mine is one of them.

At least I have the luxury of feeling smug about that... whew...

To Woozy: I don't know whether you've seen my earlier post about this in this thread, but originally I had ordered your same card, the EVGA SC without Crysis. I asked for my order to be modified to the BFG OC2 if OcUK thought I would be getting my card earlier (and also because I preferred the higher overclock of the OC2, but that was a secondary reason). Within a couple of hours my order got changed to the BFG OC2.

Quoting Gibbo here: "EVGA I am in the dark, they supposedly shipped days ago but I've stop believing anything EVGA say", that's a hint to be taken seriously. If I were you I'd reserve a BFG OC2 before the pre-orders get over 400!!!

I have sent 1 webnote asking for the OC2 if it comes in before the EVGA SC

and 2 webnotes (1 yesterday) asking for the Zotac if they are in before the EVGA

no replies telling me I will be allocated one which i am annoyed about
 
Attempting to give a quick update based on the OcUK site...

HI there

An update:-
50x Gainward arriving (thursday - today)! [only 5 left]
40x Zotac AMP arriving Friday! [confirmed all pre-orders have been allocated]
500x BFG OC arriving Monday/Tuesday
400x BFG OC2 arriving Monday/Tuesday - latest source is that over 310 are already allocated.
20-100x EVGA anyday, but not confirmed, EVGA very unreliable.
20x Gigabyte (thursday - today only 2 left ), 40x more next week!
60x Asus arriving possibly this week or next week!
100x PNY due Friday/Monday
1000x OcUK due by end of next week! (800 pre-sold!!!)
Click to expand...

Woozy - I think your best bet would be to phone OcUK and ask if all the shipment of 400 BFG OC2 to arrive next Monday has been allocated. If not, preorder one of them.
Or the Gigabyte if you wouldn't mind a vanilla card, though only 2 are left by now.
Or if that fails, get the BFG OC.

PNY and OcUK brands will be here tomorrow/Monday or by Friday next week respectively.

Because Evga... there's no confirmed date. I'd have gotten the Evga myself hadn't it been for that.

I do not want a vanilla as theres no guarantee they can go as high as the pre done ones

i already pre-ordered the EVGA SC on the 30th Oct. So cannot pre order any others

I have had no replys about if i could be allocated a zotac and this was after a webnote was sent to OCUK pretty much soon after they were added to the site

I have also had no reply about if OCUK will send me out a BFG OC2 or Zotac Amp even though I have sent webnotes

its the not replying that i find frustrating

and to me it has been a super anxious wait as i originally sold a BFG OC2 GTS so i could get the GT on ebay which i was a victim of fraud and lost the card and the final amount totalling £500 in loss due to the buyers account being hacked.

And i have had a bad cold this week so could do with cheering up this weekend with a nice Zotac, BFG OC2 or EVGA SC

plllllleeeeease :)

Galea, got any ideas to an answer to my question at all?
Click to expand...

(Hoping I'm replying the right question ie the one above) - from what I've seen in other replies to other threads and inquiries, when your GT becomes available you'd be shipped everything in stock including your GT. It'd be common sense to save further shipping expenses...

I own an importation company and that's the way things usually work, unless there are other issues...

BUT hey I'm not qualified to answer what OcUK might be shipping or not, because I'm not OcUK staff...
