Intel Battlemage Live & Available to order from OcUK

best remove that competitor. Regardless £300 for a "budget" GPU is still too much

£300 for a B580 is bonkers - may as well have spent £10 more and got a RX6750XT - which would be faster at everything

Won't be surpised 1030GT will be £250 soon.

I agree, but we love testing new cards. All of them are overpriced especially rtx4090.

Still no news; I just hope OCUK and DPD are working late tonight.

When order ships you get an email.

100 Intel branded cards were booked in today they will start shipping over weekend and next week.

Asrock cards are due to arrive Monday around 200 so should clear all back orders.

If i were to order a Sparkle card today, when will i likely receive it?

 

[Quartz]

Oh well, no notification. I hope mine arrives before the new year.

Not too worried how long it takes but would be nice to have an ETA, don't wanna cancel my pre-order due to the price increase! Ordered my ASrock Challenger on the 16th

Sorry if this has already been asked and I missed it, but any ideas if there are plans to sell LE cards to those of us who didn't manage to pre-order one? Thinking of picking one up to replace my GTX 1080.

Just came, installed smoothly on my Intel PC, with driver updates

Will try out Marvel Rivals/FC25 see how it handles those two games at 1440p on a 240hz VA monitor

then I'll see how quickly it upscales images for me with Topaz Photo AI

Clues in the name LE = Limited Edition.
no one actually knows how many LE were produced, how many are allocated to the UK, and how many were procured by OcUK.

Runs FC25 at 200fps low settings uncapped, just went with 120hz fixed to remove any chance of stutters, and Marval Rivals ran fine also low settings - to hit 240fps have to use xess performance (and there's too much noise) but balance hits 140-180 and picture has no shimmering.

Topaz Photo AI decent performance unless I want to apply super focus which demands a lot of the gpu then I have to wait two or three minutes for it to render a portion of the image.

As I don't need to use that all the time, performance is acceptable otherwise.

May play around with higher settings but if you're ok playing games on low/medium settings looks like you'll be happy on a few titles. It also hasn't gotten loud for me with fans spinning either, so that's another bonus using

Sadly no shipping email for me today. Ordered an Asrock challenger too. Was hoping to get it for the holidays but oh well. Lesson learnt
