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

Well I'll try place an order as soon as I can and hope it gets delivered for tomorrow.. last few orders were late/off schedule :(

I'm about to pull the trigger on the XTX when the buttons are up, I'm just scared the reference board will have coil whine and waiting on the AIB dudes for way more expensive cards doesn't sound ideal at these prices.

Upgrading from a 5 year old Vega 64 so lots of gains no matter which card I go with, I was thinking 4080 but it's just too much and I don't think RT is worth it yet.

Just made the switch to AM5 too so I think the XTX will be better for my platform I reckon. HMM what do.

I too am worried about the coil whine..

Your uplift will be 4x from Vega 64 to an XTX!

Hi there

Regarding coil whine, any cards that exhibit this we will replace, but ensure it is also not your PSU whining! Also if anyone experiences coil whine on any card, always remember that running a card for 24-48hrs in a well cooled case or room generally solves it as the capacitors can be noisy during the bedding in phase on some cards. If after 48hrs of use the card is still whining and it is confirmed as not the PSU, we would replace it. :)

That's good to know Gibbo. I never knew that! Thanks.
 
If you think margins are so huge, you are mistaken, at the end of the day it tends to balance out, when margins are typically so slim, or even negative, then losses companies make on say b-grade products, then of course when opportunities arise to make additional margin, then companies will of course do so otherwise the actual profit made would probably just make it not so worthwhile selling GPUs any more. End of the day you have decent margin opportunities, slim margin times and negative margin times, it balances out. Brand new product, were not going to make a loss if we can help it. :)

I am sure in coming months prices will improve further.





Anyone trying to scalp these is a very very very brave person, I see no profit for scalpers on these products and we have huge stocks and I'd hope we can keep this product in stock on a continual basis and at £899 so the scalpers won't have any opportunity.
If you want to make text extra highlighted and readable, given the default colour scheme of the forum is blue, the highest contrast is yellow. Red on blue just looks weird.
 
You are charging more than the MSRP.

That is the very definition of gouging. The amount of the gouge is neither here nor there.

Anyway, people can choose to pay it or not, but they should be at least aware of the situation.
It's really not - and as somebody who also imports products in USD - it will also depend on the exchange rate at point of payment

You've pulled me out of the woodwork, Gibbo :)

Will I be able to order, despite being located in Portugal?

I am visiting my folks in Jan, and pricing could be more favourable from OCUK. So contemplating ordering and having it sent to my folks, or will the website tell me where to go due to my location? :D
 
Can we just sit back and appreciate for a moment the work that goes into providing 1000+ cards at launch at what I feel is a reasonable price.

The man has a business, business's dont operate for long unless a profit is made. I think Gibbo has been more transparant that he even needs to be about the pricing. Some forum members could do with an education on basic economics!

I say, well done to OCUK!

I am not sure mate, try adding a 6900 XT to your basket and pick your shipping destination as I've not imposed any shipping lock downs on these cards as we have so many, of course only the Sapphire MBA cards are in stock in volume.
If you have any issues, drop another post later but all should be OK.

Also check Globaldata:

Is our partner for Spain and Portugal. :)
 
Cheers! Globaldata I know and I bought my case from them :D I'll take a look. I was more thinking from a pre-order perspective you know :D

2pm the F5 button is gonna be SMASHED xD
