It looks like they want Nvidia to make buck in UK. I've decided to buy AMD card for the very 1st time and they didn't sell me, I'll stick with NV in that case.thats a shame, wonder what is stopping them, they give any reasoning ?

Dreamy, time to tell my wife there was only 1 left and it cost half as much as it actually did.IN STOCK! LOADS OF THEM!
there must be a branding control or logistics, there will be a reason from their side. but from a UK consumer it looks stupid not toIt looks like they want Nvidia to make buck in UK. I've decided to buy AMD card for the very 1st time and they didn't sell me, I'll stick with NV in that case.
I'd say do it now and take your medicine quickly rather than rationalizing and equivocating for two months. Tell her it was once and a lifetime deal (as I do... once a month). Take your paddling in one sitting, so to speak.@Gibbo Is the Sapphire 7900XT in stock right now? Or are my eyes deceiving me on site... Or is it a buy now, and then in the queue for next year?
Just trying to decide whether I buy it now and have to come up with an excuse for my wife right away - or I buy it and it arrives next year which gives me plenty of time to come up with more wife-reasoning (i.e. say it was only 400 quid, I can't see me upgrading for at least 5 years, our daughter will love it etc.)
Not looking forward to telling mine... she knew I was getting something she certainly didn't know how much it would beI'd say do it now and take your medicine quickly rather than rationalizing and equivocating for two months.

@Gibbo Hey, Appreciate all the graft you guys are putting in, Unfortunately haven't received an email yet so just looking to check my queue position please? My order number is 6482760. I know what you said about custom cards but just wanting to make sure I'll be in line for the first drop. Cheers
I see, That's cool. I ordered the Sapphire Nitro+.Which card did you order?
Hard to say as to what drop as a supplier might ship us 5 units, 50 or 500, impossible to predict as so far they have given zero ETA or forecast for any additional custom stock yet.

Holy Jingle bells Jeff . Wow. Cheers for that. Appreciate itPosition 1.
We play this funny little game where we chide each other for non-essential purchases, but we both do it -- and we both understand we'd never really go out of bounds. I had a tiny bit of goodwill since she got a new Jag last week which was a non-essential trade upNot looking forward to telling mine... she knew I was getting something she certainly didn't know how much it would be
@Gibbo Could you let me know with this one? Proper been left in the s***. Told your colleague to just cancel one, instead the full order has been cancelled and I'm out the queue.@Gibbo
No chance I even get one in Jan now.
After asking to cancel the one GPU on my order in which I ordered two on accident. One of your colleagues has cancelled both off my order. So now I'm back to square one with no back order and I'll have to wait for the next set of pre orders.... which is gonna be god knows when. Devastated
Unreal the XTX sold out, shows how many desperate and ill informed people there are shopping around for a GPU, who simply do not have control over their impulse buying urges. Think of paying over £1k for a mid range gpu, *SHUDDERS*..... And happy to see that XT still sitting on shelves to rot, but does not change the fact the XTX is their mid range GPU, every single generation AMD launch, they launch with a mid range GPU, and suckers pilled in here thinking they buying the top dog lol...all for the low low price £1k, with borked performance which does not allow them to reach the targets initially planned/designed for. In a few months we will get revised products no doubt that have fixed these issues and day 1 adopters who could not control their urges for the new "SHINY" will all look and feel like clowns. /RIP

just wanna say thanks to @Gibbo for helping with some realistic expectations about when our cards would arrive. Ive cancelled my order now as with no GPU i dont really wanna go 4-6 weeks without one. Ended up pushing the boat out and got a suprim X 4090 which what i really wanted all along so maybe this happening was the right thing as i would have sat with the xtx in my case wishing id got a 4090.
