full email recieved

Hi

Cards will be officially launched on Wednesday.

There will be stock in UK on Wednesday - albeit small amounts....

OCUK will definitely have some, as their's arrived in their warehouse today - they had the biggest allocation in the UK which was the huge sum of 60 pieces !!!

I was told yesterday that we were seeing over 25k in 3D Mark '06 - this is all I have seen so far....

Apparently it is outperforming gtx295 quite happily, with the added bonus that it is a DX11 part....

Our's ships with a coupon for Dirt2 (out near Xmas) and a full copy of Battlestations Pacific....

not too sure what the end user price will be - but I imagine (and don't quote me!!) it will be around £280 inc VAT

Need any more info please PM me

Cheers

but the possibility of a pre order might be on the cards

toon_mad · 21 Sep 2009 at 20:18

what brands are in, are they different sizes, different fans, clock speeds etc??

antran · 21 Sep 2009 at 20:19

OCUK should do a special pre-order for the first 10 cards at £200, hehe.

magicroundabout · 21 Sep 2009 at 20:20

i only know of sapphire. and i can't confirm if those 60 units are just sapphire or all of them

Buckster · 21 Sep 2009 at 20:21

perhaps 280 is the special pre-order price ??

gulp
