Nobody seems to have stock atm, very disappointing to be unable to buy a card on launch, never had these problems with nvidia launches.

Doesn't that tell you something then ;)

EDIT : Within a minute, I've found a store with stock at just over the OCUK price.
 
8800 GT was a pain, i remember getting an email of stock from one site about 4 in the morning and waking my father up to tell him he can order one, only to find out about 10 mins later it was out of stock.. lol

nothing to do with it at all - the down side is that overclockers "claim" it takes 5 days to refund the money to my card (which they have already taken at the stage this morning when they claim they had a load of cards) thus i can not go elsewhere until the money is refunded.

Why post 5850's for sale when there was not a single one received today? Why take peoples money for something that isn't there?

It's not being childish at all. It's my money, i've paid for something that was never there in the first place and thus i should never had been charged for it!

Same situation. Ordered mine at 8.04am and called Sales to be told they didnt have any 5850's in. Money is now gone from my account and got told there isnt any stock till monday :(
 
I am surprised to see that some e-tailers still actually have stock of these cards, I thought they would have all been snapped up by now.

One or two with about 1-2PC left. One is fairly highly priced and the other is a lesser known e tailer.

EDIT : Just thought I'd add they both have realtime stock levels which update in minutes.
 
The one I am seeing has 5 XFX, 9 powercolour, and 10 Saphires showing... prices are a little higher than what we have here though..

::edit::

When's that Saphire Vapour x getting released, that cooler looks a lot nicer than the stock one.
 
hang on a minute, there is people in this thread saying they ordered at at 0830, and their card has been shipped yet i ordered at 0722 and mine has not.
 
I will be interested to see how everyone that got one of these today gets on with them.

I've never been one to buy a card on the day of its launch, although I was very close to scooping one of these up early this morning when they first went up, but I decided against it, as I have to many bills to pay, and can't really warrant blasting all that money on a new GFX card when my current one still does a fine job.

Though once things settle down, and the prices drop I might go ahead and get one, the missus is in need of an upgrade, she's still running an 8800GTX, so I could buy one of these for myself, and give her my GTX280 :D
