***** AMD RX 7900 SERIES AVAILABLE & IN STOCK TODAY FROM 2PM ****(BACK ORDER UPDATES WITHIN THIS THREAD)*

For those that want to do an upgrade to a Nitro how would this be handled?

Post here that you would like to upgrade and you'd happily pay the £250 upgrade fee, then I shall drop you guys a PM and do the upgrade for you or get a member of sales of call you, but with how busy they are it might be a case of wait until next week and I shall just keep some stock on hand and not sell it all so some people can do upgrades.
 
Are dpd even delivering next week?

You do realise the OcUK homepage has a banner on it about DPD deliveries, highlighted in red. :D

I had just wondered if shipping date was included in that statement since it said orders placed before the 19th. The shipping date would be way past that but I'll assume that they'll be delivered next week then. Thanks:D

It is stated in that link........



Guys, I humbly ask for some parliamentary procedure here. If you all upgrade from the MBA I won’t be able to get one as I’ve not got one to upgrade to from OcuK.


It is fair to say there is only like around 10 or so people on the forums out of the 200 back orders so I think you shall be fine.
 
Hmmm, now I know my PSU can actually hit 140% before OPP kicks in... I'm tempted by the Nitro. @Gibbo can you confirm it's the quietest of the bunch of 7900 XTX? (Yes, I'm a silence freak these days, so sue me :p)

I've not listened to any of the cards, so no idea but judging by its 4090 equalling size I'd hazard a guess that it is probably the best performing cooler and quietest cooler of them all, plus Sapphire have always delivered on build quality and it certainly looks and feels well constructed. :)
 
Hi @Gibbo

I was 177 in the queue for the sapphire mba. If a free upgrade was made available to the pulse version. (Which is a fantastic idea) how likely would you be able to back fill to number 177 in the pulse? Did sapphire say they can back fill 200 custom cards?

The XTX versions especially in UK are like gold dust now. So getting 200 cards available ( 177 in my case) seems highly unlikely,

appreciate the hard work you’re doing mate on the forums keeping people the waiting customers updated, especially with all the other work I bet you got going on.

We have sold and shipped over 500 XTX so far, so it’s fair to say OcUK is no.1 in U.K. by miles for stock.

Sapphire will get us enough XTX to cover all back orders whether it’s an MBA or Pulse card.
 
Would be interesting to see where an OC 7900 XT comes that has 3x 8-pin connectors as at around a grand they could perform around a 4080 with decent OC and match a reference XTX card maybe in some games.
 
Does look like these cards (both the XT and XTX) respond well to power.

I still think if AMD had launched the XT at 799 it would have been an incredible knockout compared to anything Nvidia currently have. Despite that, I still bought one - doh!

£799 was request pre launch but denied and judging by the sales £899 is here to stay for a while.

Guess will be how 4070Ti impacts XT sales but if they are both priced same I’d be taking a 20G card every time over a 12G one personally.
 
Hey Gibbo, my order confirmed for a sapphire MBA approx 14:19 on release day, order hasn't changed from ordered yet. Safe to say I'll more than likely in the backlog for cards, looking towards the end of January unless sapphire can ship more MBAs before then?

Happy to wait, just hoping my 1080ti holds out till then :).


If Sapphire cannot ship more MBA I shall be personally upgrading all customers to a Pulse XTX card from Sapphire at the cost of OcUK, so you get a FREE upgrade, only thing to consider is Pulse has 3x 8-Pin connectors instead of 2 as it has more power ability.
 
UPDATE:

20pc Devil XTX Limited Edition are shipping end of this week - ALL DEVIL XTX LTD EDITION PRE-ORDERS WILL BE SHIPPED FIRST WEEK JANUARY!
NITRO XTX LOADS DUE FIRST WEEK OF JANUARY, ALL PRE-ORDERS BE COVERED.



Sapphire XTX MBA Pre-Orders shall ALL be upgraded FREE OF CHARGE at cost of OcUK to a PULSE XTX Sapphire card if Sapphire cannot ship any more MBA cards.
 
@Gibbo I'd pre-ordered a Red Devil 6800xt as part of the black friday deals. As it hasn't yet shipped would it be possible to upgrade it to one of the Sapphire 7900xt MBA cards and I'll pay the £300 difference. Also would this need to be paid on the same card as the original purchase or can a different one be used?

Were taking no more orders for MBA cards at present.
Powercolor are hoping to ship those in January.

@Gibbo

Thanks for all your hard work,

DPD failed to deliver on time (5th consecutive time over previous orders), maybe you could try get your money back on the failed next day delivery? not sure how it works on your end.

No can do as they have the weather situation from last week and RM strikes means they don't have to offer any refund.
 
It's ST5188737. No order update on the website. It's to be shipped to Ireland.

Hi there

Yep DHL never came yesterday, as such your order was not allocated.
DHL are coming tomorrow to us to collect and I've changed your order to an Asrock 7900 XTX MBA, so identical card but in Asrock box, also 3yr warranty so slight bonus. Hope that is OK and apologies but our DHL collections are a bit hit and miss at moment due to how busy they are.
 
Hoping my XT gets here before Christmas, hardly the end of the world if not though. Ordered yesterday at 6:30pm no movement today but assume the warehouse is mega busy!

I've asked warehouse if they can prioritise but you are correct they are mental busy.

no problem @Gibbo the main thing for me is just knowing it's coming. Thanks a lot!

No problem. Now fingers crossed DHL get it to you in reasonable time.
 
Looks like I might be getting a pulse card as well as I've also pre-ordered that card, it looks like it's 2.5CM longer(31.3CM) and 1CM taller(13.4CM) while still being 2.5 slot, so not much bigger which is good but you may want to make sure it will fit in your system just to be safe.

3x 8 pin VS 2x 8 pin as well.
 
gibbo going the extra mile in all these threads :)


Thank you, it is just very important to me, that if an issue arises that we deal with it in the best way possible, it is all well and good saying it should not happen, but things do go wrong or products can over sell, especially if you have 1000 people all trying to buy an item at the same time and you don't have that many and as a result website or customers browser cache does not update fast enough.

I feel we have gone above and beyond in handling this, way beyond what any competitor could even remotely come close too.
All forum members were informed within hours the same day, an email was sent to all customers within 24hrs with the status and update along with alternatives or a refund if they did not wish to wait.

Those happy to wait are now getting their cards, if we fail to get MBA cards for some of the Sapphire back orders then those customers can either take a FREE upgrade to the Pulse XTX card (due end of January ISH) or request a refund. :)
 
@Gibbo Hi, Just wondering if the 50 Powercolour XTX cards have arrived as expected and chances of a dispatch today? Many thanks

Awaiting delivery still with us, warehouse are primed, just waiting for the stock to arrive.

Looking at Gibbos post, no XT models have been shipped at all :(

I am confused, we have shipped over 500 of those now and we still have them in stock and readily available.

No movement on mine anyway.

Which card did you order?

Apologies let me articulate, I meant specifically the Sapphire 7900 XT Nitro+ version. Mine is still in an ordered stated (ST5190055 .. sorry I know we're not supposed to be asking here)
Also I noticed the same model has come down in price since I ordered it.

Ah yes, we have received none of those yet, that product was never in stock at time of ordering and was listed on the website as pre-order. We are expecting Sapphire to start building those in January and we should get some then.
If you drop a webnote to CS they will refund the price drop back to your card, or request a full refund if you don't wish to wait.
