In a few mins you will have a chance to grab a 6800 or 3060Ti

And let the scalpers get in way ahead of time.

I do not believe he was worried about scalpels. It's simply just forums users and monitoring bots too - 5 minutes and they sold lots of cards (he posted details). In 30 minutes there would be thousands of people trying to hoover one up.

Gutted to miss out, but fair is fair, and this appears to me at least the fairest way possible.
Well done to the lucky few who got one.

 

[VIPER258]

It's his day off and he's only human - simply forgot in a hurry. More 68k will come though, he said. "Plenty" more left!

Nice one fella, yo have jinxed the whole thing with your talk of 'plenty' and 'more 6800', I aint luck like some. Although, my luck has to change sometime.

 

[Coogs]

This is extremely unlikely, the warehouse has several thousand orders to ship so despatches will most likely be tomorrow.

I'll exchange you warehouse planning and performance tools for the chance of a 3080 or 6800xt haha

 

[Headrushuk]

[TheMarrowman]

[Headrushuk]

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.

I can assure you Gibbo this didn't go unnoticed, i really appreciated this. The reason I buy most of my stuff from OCUK. Many Thanks as always

Definitely appreciate the explanation - how/when will those unlucky two people know they've missed out on the Palit? Crossing my fingers I'm not one of them

Thanks for the update. Luckily managed to get a 3060 ti and hopefully will be getting a 3080 ti (or a 3080 in stock) with OC when it launches. This way of doing things... I can't call it ideal but it's better than before.

Now I officially got everything but the processor All the parts of my new system are just sitting here waiting for delivery

 

[McMilkerson]

Hi Gibbo
I bought the £389 Palit Dual, would be happy to pay the extra and change to the OC one or a Zotac if it helps?

 

[mrbios]

Whoever timed the pull of ordering did a cracking job there

Right, back to nagging about where my 5600X is now that i can forget about needing a gpu haha

 

[subbytna]

I can assure you Gibbo this didn't go unnoticed, i really appreciated this. The reason I buy most of my stuff from OCUK. Many Thanks as always

Hope to see you in the members market soon

 

[DazQ87]

Good to see the announcement on the forums, unfortunately for me I was in the process of driving home from work at the time

Hopefully the cards got into the hands of gamers and not scalpers, @Gibbo are we expecting any more announcements on here in the coming weeks?

[TheMarrowman]

[shrek2]

Hope to see you in the members market soon

Hear Hear

 

[Seearbe]

I'd be very interested if anyone could put a number on what the real demand for these cards is. That number of orders on an impromptu bit of availability is insane!
