So I got lucky last night and managed to get myself a 3070fe it was from a rivals site but at that price I really don't care

Give it up. If people can't check the forum on a daily basis then they don't deserve an easy ride. OcUK are doing the best they can under demand pressures.

I think people need to chill out, it was a tongue in cheek comment - should have been clear from the "or I could be patient"....

Just had a 2060 super in my basket on another store, £530... couldn’t bring myself to do it. Not for an old card!!

@Gibbo I hope you put up some 3060s soon, when you’ve got enough stock I assume.

My 1650 super does the job fine right now thankfully.

The 3060 release was one of lowest yet for quantity of supplied cards i don`t no why they did it unless it was to get a one up on AMD 6700

There were plenty around, granted they weren't there that long but I bagged a few from various sites. Far easier than any other 30 series launch for me

@Gibbo Any 6800 coming up any time soon?

Also are OCUK going to skip the release date and time for the 6700xt as they did for the 6800 and 3060?

Yes.

definitely Gibbo it is not going to be worth the hassle with very few cards available.

@Gibbo Please could you fill us in on when the next drop of GPUs will be? For myself, 3060Ti is of interest. Many thanks.

I haven't tracked GPU prices in a while but how are they looking (retail prices)?

I gave up after the 6800's became impossible to get

Hahahahahaha

you have to ask?

try £100+ on the 6700 cards over MSRP

Hi, sorry hopefully this is the right place to post this. (been lurky for months), my question is i have noticed GPUs are no longer listed under 3d printers, pretty sure thats new, does that mean that OCUK are about todo a drop? Is there somewhere else on the site we should be checking now?

How and where does this happen? I only need a gpu to complete my computer build. Everything else is waiting and don't wish to pay over RRP.

Is that original RRP/last week's RRP/this week RRP or next weeks RRP?

akroushy · 19 Mar 2021 at 18:51

I am looking to upgrade from a vega 56, hoping I can buy a 6700xt or Rtx 3060ti on the next drop

Aquaben · 20 Mar 2021 at 13:16

So a well known stationery supply website is now showing lots of gpus as 'direct from supplier'.

I've stuck my kneck out and placed an order for cards that I know have been delivered into the country this week as I had a few boxes arrive, just seems a tad odd that of all places to pop up. Prices are very good too.

Anyone else seen these listings or used the place I'm on about before?
Sounds just about believable and yet just about scammy too. Hmmm

Just had a look and they are still up. Just ordered 3 @ Gigabyte 3060ti Gaming OC. Received the confirmation email, lets see what happens.

I used PayPal so should be protected, its just whether it takes 6 months to arrive eh. Like I said, worth a punt possibly
