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


Quick little unboxing we did of the faulty Nitro card we were shipped, damn what a card it is, quality construction.
Jeez, how long are they? Not sure that'll fit in my meshify C...
Impressive card however.


Apologies if I came across as whiny about not getting my nitro+. I'm autistic and can be unaware of how the things I write sound to others.
I'll have to sit tight and be patient it seems, your phone staff have been incredibly helpful.
Still kicking myself for cancelling my reference order which did get shipped. Lessons learned I guess.
:p


Congrats to everyone who got their already! I'm definitely not jealous in the slightest!

The reason we are not sending the email right now is because I was up until midnight speaking to AMD USA, then up at 8am this morning speaking to Powercolor, Sapphire and all other AIB's in Far East and now working with AMD UK as we speak.
We hope that in a few hours time the relevant parties will feedback to myself and provide some realistic ETA's or potential solutions.

OcUK is AMD's no.1 UK GPU partner, the fact AMD USA reached out to me personally to congratulate our sales performance and assuring me that OcUK is at the top of their thoughts and that their UK guys will ensure OcUK and its customers are looked after, so they know the score, I have worked with AMD for over twenty years, we can be assured solutions will come.

But guys, and I don't mean to upset anyone, be realistic things do not happen out of hours, they do not happen in an instant, it does take time and that is why the email shall be sent this evening and it may not be conclusive because it can take days for companies the size of AMD and its partners to offer a solution or ETA, nothing is a five minute job like we all wish it could be.

Please stop posting order numbers as everyone is in the same situation:

Sapphire & Powercolor MBA cards we await a solution as per above, we doubt anyone will get a card before Christmas, so let me put that out there right now, so if you after a card for the holidays or have no GPU you need to be selecting another GPU now, but we do hope any solution provided to us will be a solution for this month or start of January.
Custom cards, as pointed out VERY CLEARLY in the opening post of this forum, the ETA was and always was end of January, some of you may get one sooner but again as I put in the OP, you were all warned of a long wait, so please don't be complaining, it was made crystal clear and I am pushing just has hard to get custom cards as quickly as possible as I am MBA cards.

All pre-orders will be given priority and no cards will be placed on sale until pre-orders are dealt with, I assure you this! :)

The Sapphire 7900 XT model is still in stock, we have around 150pc left so anyone who wants an AMD card before Christmas, buy a Sapphire 7900 XT or an Asrock 6900 XT OCF!

NO ONE IS GETTING AN AMD 7900 XTX PRE-CHRISTMAS, THE CHANCE IS UNDER 1% SO IF YOU NEED PRE XMAS PLEASE SELECT ANOTHER CARD OR A REFUND, OUR SALES/CS TEAM CAN HAPPILY ASSIST YOU AND WE DO APOLOGISE.

Gibbo, thank you for the swift response. Really appreciate the effort being put into this.
Going to stick with my 7900 XT Nitro order, it looks so well built and will go nicely into my NR200P.

The lengths giving me the fear too, It says 320 but it's definitely looking longer than that

Just checked it'll fit in my case but I'd have to remove a fan, so I'll be stuck with just the one intake fan at the front above the gpu..

@Gibbo Just finished work for today and wanted to say thank you for the update and the realistic expectations set out. Totally appreciate the honesty and transparency.

I look forward to receiving the 7900xtx Nitro+ in the new year.

Already secured a Black Friday 6900xt ASRock special as a plan B so all is good! :D

Also appreciate the unboxing video of the 7900XTX Nitro+. Damn! What a sight to behold! :D

Thanks dude! :D

GOOD NEWS !!

Powercolor have got 40-50 units of the 7900 XTX MBA cards arriving with us next week. They are paying the extra to ship them with UPS and hope to land them with us next Tuesday. Once they land 40-50 orders from the Powercolor back order queue will ship leaving just a handful of those orders to be fulfilled.

As such you *MIGHT* get your Powercolor 7900 XTX MBA card in time for Christmas, so do not cancel your order. :)
This will clear all the people who ordered a Powercolor upto 14:15 on launch day! :)

It would be a good idea to display the length of all the GFX cards Nvidia and AMD on the web site, so people can see if it will fit in there case or not. I read on a review the 7900xtx Nitro+ was 340mm long so all could do with the correct measurement being shown.

My issue is my pump/res sits on the front rad, So I have like 330mm for the GPU so it hopefully should be fine. We wait and hope

I'm sure someone made a table of the sizes but I can't for the life of me remember where I seen it

That's fantastic. I'm sure everyone appreciates your hard work.
However, can I be cheeky and keep my reference card that's coming tomorrow until you get the nitros in stock and then kindly give back the reference? I'm one of the people on the pre-order list, 9th in the queue as it showed in stock and let me buy it when it wasn't. It would be a perfect solution for me.
I promise I'll stop being annoying :p I'll throw some haribos in the box upon return too

No I am afraid you cannot keep and use a card for weeks, maybe months and then just hand it back, as that is then a product we made like 5% margin on. We get it back, we b-grade it and have to sell it for like £100-200 loss, so I am afraid not. If you do not want it please return it un-open or use the card and then sell it on.

Fair play, just thought I would try my luck lol.
(psst, what if I pop 2 £50 notes in the box too?)

Wait, How did you find out where you are in the queue?
I rang customer service and they told me.
 
So i need a GPU pre xmas as i dont have one at all , the dilema is the 4080 and the XTX feel interchangeable to me no great difference in performance at this stage in the game but my concern is will that still ring true in 1 or 2 years time.

I think since put 1300 down on the XTX its probably for the best i just stump up another 500 notes and get the gamerock 4090 , its the only way to not end up sitting there thinking what if !
Or just buy the 6900 OCF.

Probably a stupid question do you think it would be a better shot to switch to a sapphire or keep my place in the queue for my powercolor.

sorry if this is a stupid Q​

 
Here you go!
