We've being allocated a few hundred of these special BF4 Editions by AMD and as such we can guarantee our customers you will be one of the first in the UK with this amazing new card from AMD.

When the card officially launches we shall contact you / request you contact us to pay the remaining fee, which is yet unknown as AMD have not yet released an official price, right now the R290X BF4 edition could be priced anywhere between £400 - £650. When AMD confirm the price we will request you pay us the rest of the money to 100% secure your BF4 edition card.

THIS IS ONLY A DEPOSIT which is refundable if you so wish. The cards are expected mid-end October.


If you place a deposit by ordering this product you see here, once the NDA lifts we shall add the five BF4 Editions we are getting from Sapphire, HIS, Asus, MSI and Gigabyte to our website with a confirmed price, at this point we will contact you to pick one of the five product and pay the remaining money owed to us.

Just placed my deposit. Have been charged for next day delivery as well. I take it this will be taken off the final payment figure, as I doubt my deposit will be delivered tomorrow?

Nope.

Delivery is guaranteed next day from despatch, so that service will still stand.

Of course forum members meeting the criteria will still get free delivery.

 

[Gibbo]

Now over 50 sold!

Hi there

Just to clarify as well, the cards were stocking from Asus, MSI, Gigabyte, Sapphire and HIS shall all be reference design. There will not be an non-reference cards at launch!!

 

[Gibbo]

Problem is they are all over the place but I will post a pic of the R9 290Xs in front of the Titans when they turn up.

@Gibbo do I qualify for any free games apart from BF4.

For customers of OcUK I shall also ship them with AMD GOLD TICKETS, can't beat that. So you can also pick any three games from AMD as well.

 

[Gibbo]

How many pre-orders now gibbo ? will you be closing the offer when all are allocated to save disappointment ?

Yes we will!
Over 50!

 

[Gibbo]

How long after launch of the reference cards will the fancy ones turn up?

Estimating six weeks.

 

[Gibbo]

The other "UK Etail partner" has listed the full specs (nothing we haven't already seen).

There goes the NDA...

Were sticking by AMD's rules, makes no sense to risk upsetting AMD when they are the ones giving us the stock.

AMD are delighted with what we've done, maybe I can now steal some extra allocation from partners who are breaking NDA.

Makes a phone call........

 

[Gibbo]

I want to Pre-order 2 of these but not knowing if they're £400 or £650 each is stopping me

Deposit is refundable.

 

[Gibbo]

I know you can't reveal the price but can you at least say whether the BF4 edition carries a price premium over a vanilla card? And do you have a feel for vanilla card availability at launch?

I am more interested in the card than he game.

I suspect a £15-£20 premium, but can't be 100% sure!

 

[Gibbo]

This would be great for my son's computer. Is it a bit overkill for 1080p though? i7 4770 system.

Yes.

1080P a 7950 / R270XT would be fine.

 

[Gibbo]

8pack

He sure will as we shall be posting our review when AMD say we can.

 

[Gibbo]

Guys

Were now passed 100 deposits taken, see were also being mentioned on some very big sites, Anandtech, Steam, AMD etc.

Superb publicity again for us!

 

[Gibbo]

So have you not got any left?

Yes 100's spare still.

 

[Gibbo]

Gibbo I see you have said "The cards are expected mid-end October." and Anandtech are saying ETA 31st October, is that just them taking a worst case scenario or you hoping they might come in earlier than expected?

Yes worse case.

 

[Gibbo]

Just want to check this pre order is for the BF edition right...how many normal cards will you be getting in on release date?

Also 100's are ordered and will ship this month.

 

[Gibbo]

Do you have any idea when the normal cards will be up for preorder? I'v had BF on order for ages so don't really want the premium version but id probably order a normal version as soon as they go up for pre order.

Unknown, awaiting confirmation from AMD.

 

[Gibbo]

8'000 of these in total, yes? how many of those 8'000 do you have?

We can't say, just a few hundred.

To confirm, we've sold a little over 100 units.

We have plenty of BF4 editions spare!

We have also ordered from manufacturers 100's of the regular 290X and 290 as well.

 

[Gibbo]

What about the R9 280X?

Yes we shall have stock from Asus, MSI, Gigabyte, Sapphire and HIS. Shipped and arriving in our warehouse next week.

 

[Gibbo]

It's 100% refundable.

If you cannot afford a £99 refundable deposit you cannot afford the retail card at RRP either.

Like it or lump it.

Will the BF4 Package include Premium or not?

This!

Some competitors are charging £1000, now that is bad conduct in my view when they full well know it won't be that much, but again its probably because they are only getting like five units.
