Poor service. Ordered my Sapphire 5870 at 09:38hrs, at the time shown 10+ in stock.
Order was "being processed in warehouse" for 5hrs before I called them up. Only to find...suprise suprise. No stock left.
"We will have some on MON 27...."
WoW
Well now some other company has had my custom and at the same time I saved myself £1 pound and it will be with me tomorrow.
How to lose a customer in three easy steps.
Poor.

To be quite honest, Overclockers website is terrible for keeping up to date with stock numbers. This latest debacle with the XFX 5870's apparently being sold out in under 12 minutes wasn't reflected in the stock numbers on the website until mid morning, meaning I bought an IOU. This would be the 4th or 5th IOU I've bought from Overclockers in the past month, 3 of which were GFX card related. Terrible, terrible service.:mad:
 
Hmmmm I think I will wait for a few days,,,

I am looking at the Asus or Saphire 5870 cards which barand would you reccommend?
 
Sapphire always been nice quality package with a decent bundle.

I am currently using an ASUS 4870 basically the Saphire wqill be the same just a different barand and packaging?

do you think thw 5870's will beat the GTX 295 or 285's even?
 
How much stock are you expecting in on Monday? Is it worth me pre-ordering one now, or waiting and seeing?

EDIT: Oops, I'm talking about the 5850s

They have beaten the 295 yes but are on par a few times as well. At the moment all cards available are just OEM with the same cooler just a different sticker and bundle

I still can't believe they had "10+ stock" up for the 5850's without actually having any in hand. That really really disappointed me; if I had known I could've got myself one of the 5870's and I would have it tomorrow!
 
Eh if people was not ordering these cards 1 second after they went up, maybe OCUK might have corrected mistake before people ordered bundles of them.

Seriously even when i want something, give it few hours at least, not order it on the dot:rolleyes:


Yes, its obviously our fault, we shouldn't have expected a business to get things right the first time, silly us.

You ,sir, are a moron.

Yea, the fools are out today.

That is basically like saying if you go to a restaurant with a large party of people and they muck the order up it's your fault because "OMG TOO MANY OF YOU ORDERED"

I mean this is hilarious really. I've been in bed all day from working nights and I'm having a whale of a time catching up with all this BS
 
I dont see what all the fuss is about, make do with what you already got thats what I'm doing. ;)

You people dont know what your missing with the Vapor-X coolers compared to those Vaccum Cleaner fans lol.

5870 Vapor-X soon! :p

I don't have a gfx card atm!

And Vapor-X isn't all it's cracked up to be, I returned 2 Vapor-X 4980's because they were hitting 107c in Crossfire. For a card with a picture of a Penguin sitting on an ice sheet on the box, 107c is laughable. And the fans weren't exactly quiet either.
