Is there going to be any Nitro left for sale from that 100 Gibbo?

Yes there is only like 13 pre-orders.

Once I confirm Sapphire have shipped the 100 I shall put the cards up for pre-order, that way they should not instantly sell out and I shall put a heads up here before I do so, expect me to do this Tomorrow or Wednesday sometime.

I would snag one of those but not heard anything about my RMA yet. I'm guessing every part of OcUK is swamped by AMD stuff at the minute.

Right now the company is severe swamped, it is peak season and smack right bang between Black Friday and Christmas with the biggest amount of orders / revenue we have ever experience, factor in GPU launch, DPD shipping issues, Royal Mail strikes and severe weather, yeah it is fair to say the entire company is bonkers busy, even with a 24/7, 7 days a week warehouse shift in operation the orders are still coming faster than we can pack them. Not a bad situation to be in but we will for sure be glad when we move into the new premises next year as this one is bursting at the seems.

As we put our order cut off as today as per DPD's recommendation we are expecting sales to slow down tomorrow and hopefully we shall begin catching up.

The Nitro is £1299, so cost to upgrade would be £250 right now.

The Pulse cost is unknown and though we expect them to cost more OcUK is planning to soak that up and offer the upgrade to the Pulse at no additional cost.

My suggestion would be buy one if your happy with price and just request a refund on your RMA. Alternatively wait and your card will be replaced in coming days/weeks.

All this mess has been caused by AMD doing their new GPU launch just a few days before xmas.
They should have been more organised and launched at least a few weeks earlier, like all other major companies. Or even themselves with all their other launches inc 6000 series GPU's.

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.

Great. I would like to upgrade. My original order was a Pulse which was £1129.00.

Thanks. I've not had an initial response yet on my RMA request but have sent a further email in reply to my ticket saying I'd like a refund. I don't want to order a new card until I at least get comms that the Sapphire MBA will be refunded.

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

And of course the scalpers. Plenty of cards even from this store can be found on the net for sale for +£100-300, even on the pics you can see the oc uk tape on the boxes

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

My other half lives in Wolstanton. Your site is the only one on which I never read anything delivery related

Hi @Gibbo, I would like to upgrade and am happy to pay the extra £250 in order to do so, my original order was a Sapphire MBA.

LtMatt · 19 Dec 2022 at 17:05

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.

Meddling-Monk · 19 Dec 2022 at 17:20

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

)

rare · 19 Dec 2022 at 17:28

Nitro at 1299 or a 4080 at similar or less money. This is genuinely a difficult decision to make.
