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

UPDATE

Sapphire XTX MBA = 25pc have arrived today, we shall endeavour to ship these today / tomorrow but our warehouse and DPD are massively behind at present due to huge surge in orders. These 25 cards are been prioritised but once in the hands of DPD we have no more say in it. We are working with Sapphire to get more and right now they are unsure if they can ship more MBA, if they cannot then we shall look at doing a FREE upgrade to the Pulse XTX edition, once Sapphire start shipping us stock!!!!

Sapphire XTX Nitro = 100 units are shipping tomorrow, due with us end of the week, this is enough to clear all back orders and expect to have your card between Christmas and New Year!

Asus TUF XTX OC = 5 units are due tomorrow with us, we will ship these out and then depending on DPD the first lucky five might get them before Christmas!

Powercolor XTX MBA = The 50 units have departed from Netherlands today and are due with us Wednesday, again these will then be despatched and be with DPD so any pre-XMAS deliver will be purely down to how DPD cope with getting orders out.

Powercolor Devil XTX = 20 units are schedule to ship to us on 28th December, so the first 20 customers can expect these first week of January, which will then only leave around 10 pre-orders.






PLEASE NO MORE REQUEST FOR QUEUE UNLESS IT IS VIA THE FORUMS, DON'T CALL OR WEBNOTE CS FOR QUEUE POSITION !!!

ANYONE WISHING A REFUND SEND A WEBNOTE TO CS WITH YOUR ORDER NUMBER REQUESTING A REFUND!!
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?
 
@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.

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

No can do as they have the weather situation from last week and RM strikes means they don't have to offer any refund.
 
Nitro at 1299 or a 4080 at similar or less money. This is genuinely a difficult decision to make.
Difficult? Lol, the 4080 is a no brainer. The only exception I can think of is if you play nothing but CoD. The extra for aftermarket RDNA 3 is not worth it at all because they lose so badly to Lovelace in RT & bereft of features. I mean genuinely like years behind. So it only ever makes sense to buy AMD atm if much cheaper.

Or perhaps some people would prefer an AMD card and they are quite happy with the RT performance (which is still usable). Bereft of features in what way? For professional/CAD use sure. Only other main feature is DLSS3.

I would probably have a Nitro XTX over a 4080 to be honest…

Sounds great, AMD could use the sale. ;)

To be fair, it sounds like they have had a pretty successful launch in terms of numbers.

My first GPU was a TNT, I love both Nvidia and ATI/AMD tbh. Both had made amazing products over the years. Part of me always likes the underdog though!
 
Afternoon @Gibbo I'm currently in the queue (54th) for a sapphire reference card. I see you're going to be upgraded people to the pulse which is great, I'm just a little worried it won't fit in my rig seeing as some of the other partner cards are huge . With my current position which card am I likely to get and is the pulse actually that much bigger than the reference model?



Huge thanks to you @Gibbo and the OCUK team the customer support and service has been/is amazing.

I find that a little odd really. Doesn't the 7900XTX outperform the 4080 outside of RT?
If it were me I'd go for a 3rd party 7900XTX over a 4080 at this point.
I've seen videos and read articles that favour both. I just think with how people are being more frugle they want to save money. £150-200 is quite a bit for most people, so I understand their reasoning.
 
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!

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

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

No problem. Now fingers crossed DHL get it to you in reasonable time.
