forum deal?

[xb8browney]

Sorry to ask guys, has there been a forum deal all week? I think the last deal I saw was the 6700 XT (stickied in this forum)

No

I'm drawing a dichotomy between a computer parts enthusiast and a gamer here. One of the two certainly gets more mileage out of the product than the other.

I sometimes spend more time min-maxing the settings for a game for optimal fps/fidelity ratio than actually playing it, but that doesn't happen often.

Sounds like you are turning it in to a MMO style game. Remember to grind in "the office" to earn gold before the raid night when we try to take down the "scalper" boss. hopefully with the OCUK buff we can win and everyone gets a /roll on the legendary loot.

I don't think selling the first card would make any difference - you still already had your 1 deal priced GPU.

Thing is if you read the rules in the OP here

Just says 1 per customer. Doesn't say if you got the 3060 deal you can't have this.. It's all a bit muddy..

It would be really good if there was a way to "upgrade" to a better card too.

I'm just trying to do things the right and honest way. I'm sure there's a lot who won't..

I take it they moved the deals to the members forum?

From what I understand it does remember if you bought a card this way and it locks your account out of future deals.

I reckon they could still do an open NON-Deal. Not MSRP but whatever the market price is but have the £10,000 and discount code, it wouldn't stop miners but it would defeat the bots and surly its better to buy an overpriced card from OcUK than a scalped one from ebay. Wouldn't matter if the deal leaked then.

They should still do MM deal too of course.

Also a deal on spare F5 key caps might be needed soon too.

If it was me i'd have tried to keep and ship the cards to those who actually purchased at £10,000 (I believe Gibbo and ScottiB said there were a handful) and then pass that money onto savings for the "regular" gamers. I mean if the scalpers are going to use bots and not check the price, I say **** 'em. They'd happily rip someone else off on ebay given half the chance.

I guess they would just return them, possibly after opening.

I still have hope of a drop today but it is looking unlikely.
