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

[Tinek]

@Gibbo are we expecting AIB items to be available next week or just pre order ?

Few posts above he literally posted that, I quote:
"The additional model varieties will go live on our website next Wednesday after 2pm and throughout the day to try and stop the mad rush, but all shall be pre-order with no physical stock which is not expected until end of November / December and again it is small volumes of stock."

i have no bog roll and no gpu and i just trod on my trombone and bent it, please ocuk have mercy on me !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Think yourself lucky that you’ve got that trombone

 

[ScottiB]

I know you can't sell before the launch date but cant you do a register interest with a deposit system?

Nope, that breaches NDA terms

 

[HEADRAT]

Ive gone through a full bag of popcorn and a plate of pizza while reading these past 10 pages, an evening well spent!

Maybe you should put an offer in on that bent trombone

mine was cancelled, how long for the refund to usually process so i know ive got a chance at the AIB launch

Ah, sony's NDA must be looser then

Seems to me that the main effect of that will be lots of people feeling that they have to F5 batter the website for hours, instead of just 30 minutes?

Wow. Worse than I thought then.

Do these things really exist?

 

[ScottiB]

Non and XT cards?

Non XT only, sorry, I know that's not what most of you had hoped to pick up.

 

[Tinek]

What is going on here??? I ordered the powercolor at 18/11/2020 14:36:19 yet this person who ordered it after received confirmation that the item has been shipped and I just got the knock back email????

Someone else who ordered before on here also said the same and are waiting for their email.

Are OC just picking mates to send cards to? Clearly not doing it in any kind of an order.

Same here, got confirmation both of order and payment at the same time, 14:33. But got refund email now, instead of shipping. Clearly stuff is happening out of order!

Wait, was this launch even worse than the Nvidia one?

 

[TonyTurbo78]

It is baffling for all the loyal ocuk forum members here to be shafted over joe public by them posting direct links on social media while here the loyal forum members were told to look just before 14:00 . Their allocation would have been sold here just as quickly even by not posting direct links on social media.

Pc gaming has absolutely died this year, retailers and their outrageous practices have left a disgusting taste in a lot of ppls mouths this year, thank god I got an Xbox series x for 4k60, it’s bloody brilliant.​

 

[8 Pack]

6800XT very solid card in my testing and worth waiting for... Over 2.6ghz OC and smashing 3090 in many dx 11 benches...

8Pack full AMD gaming system incoming...

 

[HEADRAT]

Wait, was this launch even worse than the Nvidia one?

Certainly seem on par

 

[JonBeGreen]

Ah, just got a cancellation email on a Powercolor XT, with an order confirmation of 14:38:01, if anyone is still wondering about their order.

Thanks OcUK team for letting us know this evening vs. having to wait a couple of days - now I should probably take a look at the reviews!

What card did you order?

People are getting really confused thinking they got rejected when others succeeded, but aren't actually comparing if they ordered the same card. The guy who was successful at 14:37 ordered the Powercooler 6800. If you ordered a different card, like W12345 did, then it doesn't compare.

 

[Joel Ellis]

Spare a thought for those of us trying to put together a completely new build

CPU? Nope.
GPU? Nope.
PSU? Nope.
RAM? Nope.

OK. I'll just build a machine that doesn't use any of those

Or I'll wait till 2H 2021

e: Console instead? Nope. Sold Out everywhere

The rainforest emailed me earlier to confirm my PS5 arrives tomorrow morning. That will have to tie me over until this #$@%show sorts itself out.

I really wanted to play cyberpunk on PC. That definitely will not happen - unless the game slips again

 

[zoffster1]

So what do you all think regarding the decision to not publish pages before launch? Personally I thought it was much worse this time around. I didn't even know where to refresh or who would have stock. Wasted 30 minutes refreshing about 8 stores for nothing.

 

[Zorgar]

side note, will anyone actually want a 6800 non xt at the price of a 6800xt?

so over priced for the performance.. unless the XT bios can be flashed to unlock CUs.... maybe a good buy but would need water-cooling as that 2slot cooler isn't handling more juice

i have tried to straighten it up but its no good and i just papped my pants in the process, i feel my life is full of bum notes right now, i need my Atari 800 back and a simple life when printers worked and disks were floppy, no bog paper
