AMD 6800 & 6800 XT MBA LAUNCH AT 2PM TODAY - EXTREMELY LIMITED STOCK!

Used amazon pay, amazon payment Authorised OCuk email 14:36, processing payment email at 14:41 and order received email by OCuk at 14:50. This was for the power colour model.

Going to go ahead and assume I've missed out from people already missing out earlier than me. Just hope the cancellations are processed very quickly.
 
Dang it - took me 50 minutes to get the bloody order to go through, so I expect bad news... Deciding to build a new PC this year wasn't the best idea in the world - sitting with a box with the best wire management in the world, but missing a CPU and GPU... every night, I'll redo the cabling... just because I'm bored waiting! :-D

Given the backend of the website appears to be a tragic mess, why don't you offload pre-orders to a separate queue system which is much more efficient and can handle the traffic, then migrate the orders over to the main system once the peak demand is over. Ive implemented this for various customers over the years who have product demand spikes and it works very well and can be set up very quickly if your web team graft for a day.

i cant believe the forum is on the same server, when the website was on its face bleeding so was the forums, why just why

Its cheaper. (edit) and forums are pretty non essential, why spend more money to ensure forums stay up for the 30 minutes they're down during a launch like this.

But this kinda conversation you just had goes such a long way to helping ease a tense situation, I hope this feedback is heard/realised.

Im not a fan of OC at the moment, the optics are pretty scummy however listening to you talk about stuff openly? Should be encouraged and is welcomed and im sure while there will always be those that will just be a pain to be a pain, the majority who are reasonable who have been crying out for some sort of transparency welcome this kind of feedback from people like yourself in the know.

At this point I personally don't feel OC could do any more damage by being a bit more open like this, and yes I get on the inside of the OC bubble perhaps some of the frustration you see must seem quite mad or maddening at times? However inside the bubble the optics will look clear and understandable, we aren't inside the bubble though is the point and many myself included will not use OC unless its an absolute last resort.
Hope that's taken in the good spirit its given.

Thank you, I understand, I think most of us here do.

Personally I've worked in this industry for long enough to understand every side of pretty much every situation. I spent three years with a graphics card manufacturer so I'm also very familiar with how AMD & Nvidia work.
Unfortunately, in many situations like today there's so much that we'd like to tell you that we're just not able to.

I probably talk too much and I'll get a slap for what I've said but it's only because we live and die on our relationships with the vendors.
 
I feel like the Nvidia launch and this launch has made me a bit crazy. I have a question that sounds stupid but I want to know. I've received a shipping confirmation but DPD doesn't recognise the reference. I'm guessing this means I got one and DPD just haven't updated their system yet/collected?

I'm a little paranoid and don't want to cancel my Nvidia 3080 pre-order until I have this in hand.

Got an email from amazon "Your payment to Overclockers UK is complete", I hope I am one of the lucky ones now, seen how rare this card will be.

Well I got Paypal notification at 14:35, order placed 14:34 so I'm hoping but not overly optimistic as mine is still showing " Order received - not yet shipped"

Enjoy your new card BTW :)

Could just be behind the same load balancers ...... depending on how they health check the backed that could cause issues outside the server itself.

Maybe OCUK needs to hire a cloud architect :D

I ordered the Sapphire 6800xt at 14:30 and just had my item shipped email

What was the exact time in the "Date ordered" part of the order confirmation email? What was the payment method?

Mine shows 14:30:05 and still hasn't shipped. Paid with PayPal and didn't get the order conformation email until 14:40 :/
