Did everyone not know they would have to be FAST to get one of these when they came out? I almost missed out and I could not find anywere in stock, lukily one last online shop had them in stock and I got the Gainward, was a lucky find though, I choose the gainward because I thought that these are the ones most people would not go for first and proberbly more of them compared to EVGA and XFX cards.

For Woozy:

I got a webnote reply, I wasn't given an exact date naturally because of all the delays and stuff. I was told the EVGA SC's should arrive within around a week.

BFG GeForce 8800 GT OC is showing as in stock on its page but still says pre-order on the main 8800gt page.

*edit*

Now showing as in stock on the main page as well, hope mine gets sent out

Well I'm well chuffed!

Managed to snag the last Zotac 8800gt from a site today...WOOHOO!

Comes pre-clocked and got it at a cracking price!

jaws104 · 20 Nov 2007 at 13:34

OK so I'm just off the phone with OC-UK now, and was told they received 100 BFG OC's (dunno bout OC2's) today and order should be dispatched today - provided i'm far back enough in the que (12th Nov)

Sounds good, but we'll see.........

EDIT... I only checked cause if you click into the BFG 8800gt it says instock

mart280 · 20 Nov 2007 at 13:37

Thanks for the update. If they are 'in stock' it means that all back orders have been cleared.

I hope they got the OC2's as well!

I'm gritting my teeth and holding hard not to change my order from the OC2 to the OC............... lol

adsldave · 20 Nov 2007 at 13:42

Just cancelled my evga superclocked & ordered the bfg which will be sent out by tomorrow at the latest as they have to get all the pre-orders out first. At last i will be able to build my new pc & play cod4 & crysis by the weekend

woozy2k7 · 20 Nov 2007 at 13:46

seen another competitor with 10 Club3D 8800GT in stock today

now as said OCUK have BFG OC 8800Gt in stock

still got my heart set on the EVGA for the step up option and nice OC

but id be tempted to cancel if the OC2s come in before hand

Id swap, get the normal OC and up it to those OC2 speeds, will do it with ease seen as its only a tiny amount needed.

I'm aware of the Club3D ones and have just noticed OcUK have 10 of the BFG ones! But I want the OC2!

Although I am now debating as to whether to just get stock ones and try to overclock it? How easy is it to push the clocks. I had an EVGA 7800GT one time and the clocks didn't move much from stock.

Finally managed to get from ocuk, BFG 8800GT OC 512mb versh, should be here tomoz morning or following day. Atm I've been told theres limited excess stock (thats taking into account preorders as well).
happy bunny here.

I would but though I oc'd my pc myself I'm no expert overclocking gpu's.

Upon powering off the computer the oc keeps resetting to stock speeds...

Plus that I wish to have the factory oc'd version.

Meh... not even some OC2's did arrive with that shipment of BFG's???

llwayneio · 20 Nov 2007 at 14:02

YES!!! i am so happy, i just saw the stock was in (i am currently in the lab at university) and realized i was running out of battery on my phone so i decided to try ringing up and changing my card order but expected my battery to die while in the call queue but Tom picked up instantly!! thanks Tom and OcUk, he said it will be shipped out shortly

Galea · 20 Nov 2007 at 14:07

I sent a webnote to OcUK asking about the BFG OC2. I will post in this thread as soon as I get any news.
