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

[transbaconist]

I want to be put into a queue instead of having my order cancelled I'm happy with any of the cards. I just want a GPU at this point.

scalpers deserve all they get IMO

I might get flak for this, but I say just ignore them. Don't buy from them obviously, but abuse, aggression like you see sometimes is uncalled for.

You wouldn't start a fight with someone in a bar because they took your favourite seat

I had one in my basket but couldn't swallow the price increase. Not with the AIBs coming next week.

Well my 970 is just going to suffer a little longer.

I don't know if my GTX 560 ti can take much more

 

[Purplex]

Which?! without obviously mentioning

Picked up one myself today in the panic. Just don't plan on getting an ASUS card. RIP my TUF OC pre-order here.

The **** i wouldn't

I have no idea if I got allocated a Unit or not. However having thought about it some more and having seen the benchmarks, I merely only want to cancel my order, but god damn 40 minutes on the phone later and nope no answer. No response on facebook. So I guess my only option is to open a paypal dispute......... Thank god for that reassurance.

From what the reviews have said. If you specifically want RTX (Ray tracing) then this isn't the card for you, however, for 1080/1440 it's better than the Nvidia cards and for 4K it either matches or just falls below them(in some games). I think even at £679, considering the cheapest matching Nvidia card (3080) is around £750 if not £800, it's still very good for the price, plus more Vram has it's advantage on other programmes. If you're streaming 4K, it isn't your card though.

lol starting a fight and making their ebay lives miserable are two totally different things! I've NEVER stated that voilence is needed.

Inject some adrenaline into it. That should keep it going for another week or so

Any way you can confirm how many orders went in as pre-orders rather than for the stock you had available before pre-orders got taken down? And will you be getting more stock of the cards you had today along with the AIB's next week?

in the spirit of full disclosure, we received over a thousand orders for the XT, many times more than the stock which AMD provided.

On our side, the buy button was only enabled for about two minutes, from 14:00 to 14:02 but with the website struggles we can't be sure what it was showing to the customers and when. As I said earlier, even sat in the OcUK office, I couldn't view the relevant pages. The first order actually hit our system about twenty minutes after launch, usually it's pretty instant, so you can get some idea of the struggles that we've been dealing with.

We are really sorry for any frustration, we share those feelings too.

Boom card shipped. I ordered a sapphire at 14:28.56 according to the email (the confirmation email itself arrived a few mins later).

Going to upgrade my 1070ti now that I have a 4K screen...

Where?! i need ha

 

[ScottiB]

BTW @Gibbo ordering 50k units , that's what i call having faith! Will be 2022 and he will be still getting 30units at a time...

he ordered that many because he knows he won't get it, but by showing such "faith" he's hoping that they'll give him a serious number this time around. If we get a tenth of that at launch we'll all be ecstatic

Thanks for the clarity, much appreciated

Guess i'll be going again next Wednesday in the mad rush for an AIB one then EDIT: what sort of time scale we looking at for orders being cancelled and refunded for us unlucky late orders?

I got a sapphire order. Any idea when we will know whether we are being cancelled, my order was 14:35. Tried to call in twice and on hold for over an hour, no one is picking up...

 

[robj20]

Disagree...they deserve it.

It's just saltiness. Nothing wrong with buying something to sell at a profit.
Isn't it what shops do after all.

There will be more choice at least.

We'll sit down and bash heads tomorrow. If we can find a way to better support the website we will consider it.

He mentioned it earlier. Once the cards ahve shipped the refunds will start and you'll find otu tonight if the emails go fine.

 

[HEADRAT]

We've shipped about 60 cards so far, we're working through them.

In case you missed my earlier post. Any customers who placed their order too late will be contacted within the next few hours via email and we'll begin to process cancellations after that (since it will take a while to manually process so many). There is no need to contact us. You'll know for sure one way or another very soon.

So how many more do you think you’ll ship today (cut off for pickup) may you run out of time tonight and have to ship some tomorrow?

Well yeah it was an analogy

I was making the point scalpers don't 'deserve everything they get'. The amount of verbal aggression around...

Even making someone else's eBay life miserable is a ****** thing to do, just get on with your life
