Rather bang the dragon TBH, too big around the waist for my taste.

Oh yeah, GPU, meh..

Jonahun · 29 Jun 2016 at 18:24

Gibbo, do you have a number how many cards OCUK sold on the first day?

Over 700 now, I expected good sales, but this is beyond my expectations for day one. Several lines have sold out infact.

I see competitors have also moved prices on 8Gb part up so I guess they are low on stock, I reckon I can hold my 8GB pricing as I did have well over 1000 units in stock for launch.

Shame on the 4GB part though, going to push AMD hard to manufacturer more, or put 8GB cards in 4GB boxes haha!

Finners · 29 Jun 2016 at 18:45

Does the memory run slower on the 4gb cards?

benjii · 29 Jun 2016 at 18:46

Have the sale of 480's delayed other orders? I had something that was meant to be shipped yesterday, then again today, still not get dispatched.

I look forward to seeing what the non ref 480's do, bring on end of July!

Sasahara · 29 Jun 2016 at 18:46

So how many GPUs do you have to buy to get a big dragon, go on shock us?

b4z · 29 Jun 2016 at 18:48

Gibbo, why has the Sapphire 4GB Card gone from £179.99 listed here to £188.99 ...just a few hours later? :confused:

TheVoice · 29 Jun 2016 at 18:57

Because they can; nobody else will be getting stock if the 4GB SKU is already discontinued so they effectively have no competition to price against. It's rather disappointing they sent out an advertising email at 2pm stating one price only to increase them two hours later. I appreciate prices can and will change according to supply and demand, but doing it just hours after a product launches doesn't sit well with me.

Lost a sale and a newsletter subscriber with that move.

Also in case no one had noticed from product descriptions, SAPPHIRE is now 3yr Warranty with OcUK & Sapphire.

Simon Belmont · 29 Jun 2016 at 19:00

Wow 700 sold. That's good for AMD. I didn't think they would sell half that.

Because we never expected to be told, no you cannot have more, we are making no more, at which point making hardly any money became a very bad idea.

Thought that's what they'd been doing all along by the sounds of it!

Best deal in UK! Well done!
I like the girl! Don't know why people are complaining about her?

Reasonably pretty, stunning body and nearly 5'11 tall, should see the photos of her in my car.

Look forward to seeing them in my inbox
