Intel Battlemage Live & Available to order from OcUK

[Auyx]

DPD should be delivering today, so will depend whether it was already despatched before today.
As far as I can see (from what limited information is available on the website) - OcUK should be open today, but obviously may be at reduced staffing levels etc due to the Festive period.

I haven't had a DPD notification yet. I ordered on the 15th so hopefully I'll be near the front of the queue.

I'm also in a weird situation where I checked out with Amazon payments without logging in to my oc account so the order doesn't show on my account page. All I can do is wait for the DPD notification.

I've just rung to find out when I'm going to get my card. I got a very vague answer but did glean one thing: apparently the stock that arrived before Christmas has not been booked in.

While it's personally disappointing it is Xmas so kinda to be expected. Fingers crossed we start to see some movement soon.

If anyone else gets any updates please do let us know.

This is my outlook, ordering on the 20th I never expected it this year, mid Jan is a realistic expectation imo, still won't stop me from looking and refreshing my emails though

Ordered the ASRock steel legend on the 12th, emailed for an update 23rd and just got a reply saying stock hadn't landed and no further details available. Bit confused after reading Gibbo saying they should have arrived before Xmas and then you getting told they're there just not processed.

Tell us how it performs, because my B580 did not behave as I expected.

Have you enabled resizeable bar?

Have you enabled resizeable bar

I didn't realise till after orderering they need that or no good, had a mad panic as its an upgrade xmas present for lil bro and had no idea if his M/B supported it....by dumb luck he's board does have it, bios flash maybe needed, despite being a good number of years old.

Would be a bit rough to go here's your present oh but you gotta buy a new motherboard to use it

Had to get his gf to try and sneak a look at his pc for me to get his board model and check his power supply, bless her she struggled with no knowledge of parts and trying to be ninja stealthy

Yes, x870 tomahawk mobo, 32gb gskill neo cl30, R5 7600x. Benchmarks were worse than on a770, rx6750.

IIRC, the techpowerup benchmarks showed it would be slower than the AMD, but faster than the older Intel

Unfortunately this graphics card is not suitable for x plane 12. Very low fps at medium settings. Intel has done nothing since the a770 to improve this situation. I sold it. I am completely disappointed with this graphics card.

Shock as a niche game within a niche market doesn't get the same attention from a smaller driver team as more popular AAA and ESports games

What shocks me is how this card was advertised and how great the latest drivers are. It turns out that this card fits into the £100-150 segment. A lot of people play simulators and xplane is the most popular.
