i didnt think oc would have them in stock today as i have noticed it has been happening to a lot of products on the website! and i bet they dont even know when they are getting stock, which is the usual answer '' we dont know ''

Ask in customer services and post the reply here for others to see.

It will be interesting to see how the gaming edition compares to the sapphire as the latter did better against the Asus for noise

I asked in the CS section when stock will be expected and this is what I got

Hi There,

Stock is expected any day now sir, and the site will update as soon as stock lands.

Yeh, really strange! As soon as I get mine I will do a review. I bought this one because it was the cheapest plus it has a 3 year warranty and a nice backplate. Also, not sure if the Sapphire Tri X would have fit into my case.

Thanks. That's solidified my decision, the MSI it is. Now I anxiously await stock

Same here

I have pre-ordered and they don't know when they are coming in as they were due Fri, any day now was the most specific response I could get - fair enough, ocuk are at the mercy of the supplier and as one of the first non-reference designs, Im expecting these to be popular

That's exactly why I pre-ordered today, incase I missed it.

Pre-ordered another one, so that is 2 now, hopefully they will get here soon as Im impatient to see the difference the stock cooler makes when trying to clock these higher, as well as seeing if the memory is any better on these cards.

stefk005 · 13 Jan 2014 at 14:21

Also pre-ordered when I realised that these would most likely fly off the shelf, at least if the MSI 280X are anything to go by.... Hopes are up for this card!!

5UB just posted in customer service section for my order stating that they will get them hopefully early this week

Excellent

Although it says pre-order, it looks like the 290X versions are in as when you go to the product page, they have 10+ in stock
Im hoping that the normal 290's are in and they just haven't updated the page yet as I have a serious case of shiny new gadget lust..

Scooby-DoobyDoo · 13 Jan 2014 at 16:09

Woohoo my 290 non x is in stock, hopefully have it tomorrow

Just noticed the 7950 in your sig. May I ask what sort of difference you're expecting to see in performance?
