Hi there
Glad some of you got some.
Sorry that some of you seem upset, but I do not recall saying I was gonna post somewhere specific when I would give the headsup and I decided to only go with a couple of minutes headsup because word gets out way too quick. if I give a 30 minutes headsup we will simply over sell even if we allow ordering for only sixty seconds.
The simple fact is OcUK is huge, one of the biggest in the market for enthusiast product and new releases so its never going to be easy managing sales of a few hundred cards, when there are literally thousands of people wanting one.
Considering the headsup was short and the add to order buttons were there for under five minutes we still sold the following amounts:
- Palit 3060Ti Dual - 122pc sold, so it looks like two people may have missed out, but if we can some OC version left I will speak with CS about getting the orders upgraded.
- Palit 3060Ti Dual OC - 10 sold, all will ship.
- Inno3D 3060Ti X2 - 2 sold, all will ship.
- Inno3D 3060Ti X3 - 6 sold, all will ship.
- Zotac 3060Ti Twin Edge - 19 sold, all will ship.
- Zotac 3060Ti Twin Edge OC - 54 sold, all will ship.
- Powercolor 6800 MBA - 7 sold, all will ship
- Sapphire 6800 MBA - 19 sold, all will ship.
So now you see why these launches are so hard, that was totally un-announced, not marketed apart from a forum post by myself here two minutes before allowing orders for five minutes.
Simple fact is demand is beyond sky high and customers are willing to pay any price, we have kept our pricing very fair with the Palit from £389, but fact is competitors are £500 plus and sold out.
All the orders we took are genuine, no bots, 1pc per customers to UK/Ireland etc.
Demand is nothing short of insane and the supply cannot even come close.
Glad I made some people happy.
Sorry for some you missed out.
I will re-evaluate situation later on and if I feel we can risk putting some live for ordering later, I shall give forums a couple of minutes headsup again by replying to this thread here, so those who missed out, better luck next time but if we over sell next time don't take your fustration out on OcUK we are doing our very best, the only solution is more supply which is out of our hands.

That is 6800's, my apologies I just bundled them all in one go, we have plenty left still so I will put more 6800's live later and post in that thread when I do so.
It is my day off and I am not a robot so trying to keep track of everything I said and do is not easy, playing the juggling game.
This is extremely unlikely, the warehouse has several thousand orders to ship so despatches will most likely be tomorrow.
We had 120 and in the end we sold 125 when I put them live for a few minutes earlier.
Pulled these now.
Will check back later as I should be able to see what how many have sold in about an hour.
I won't be putting any more cards live for ordering again now tonight on NV or AMD.
THey were put live earlier and lots sold, got a few left but won't be doing any more tonight I am afraid.
Time for me to rest on my day off.
Nope once, they all sold on first go, this second go was just Inno and Zotac as per above.
OK The Inno3D has massively oversold. 
There was only around 15, so far I am seeing 57 sold and counting. Those who do not get a shipment notification by next week I would suggest cancelling and our CS team may automatically cancel the over sales.
Zotac one looks OK so far, but orders still downloading.
This is how quick this stuff sells and that is just via a forum post, we could literally sell thousands per minute if OcUK puts its full might behind selling these products.

Yes everyone who ordered shall get one, next week I will give another opportunity for people to grab some more of those.
Indeed, I'd rather just let the website do the work rather than me sitting here at 9pm on my day off pressing buttons inside the OcUK software.
Zotac is looking good, about 70 of those seem to have sold and we just have enough to cover those.
Inno3D is now 70 and counting.
Its full might
We sold 1200 units 6800 XT in two minutes, that is difference between letting the website and marketing teams do there work, whereas in five minutes this way looks to be about 100-150 units.
As such it is why the last few product launches OcUK has decided to not launch product, simply because the OcUK website is too mighty and ends up selling thousands of a product that will take a very long time to supply, best to avoid the launches all together whilst launch stock levels are under 5000 cards and stick to random forum post pushing out the few hundred cards we have and trying to avoid taking any back orders.
Yeah, trouble is most of those sales would be scalper bots doing their thing.
BOTS cannot order from the site, all the orders coming through are genuine orders, a lot are repeat customers, the need to upgrade this time round is strong.
