I shall activate £1099 now and leave it until 15:00 or until you order, please comment when ordered and don't order until you see it at £1099, I only allocated 50 to sell at this price and already sold around 70 of them as were losing £100 per card, but as I had 150 of them wanted to get shot of a few so undercut the entire market with £1099, even at £1169 its cheaper than anywhere else.

To be honest GPU sales since Christmas Eve has been insane, we have sold over 1200 GPU's already since Saturday. :eek:
Warehouse gonna be mental busy this week again when they return to work tomorrow.

Anyone ordering today do not expect your order to ship until Thursday/Friday as there is already 3000+ orders to pack from XMAS period sales.

Wow OCUK must be desperate to shift those 4080s, they probably know a price cut is incoming and don't want to be left holding the bag.

Official price cuts don’t leave us holding the bag as they are covered by official price protection or sell out rebate.

This is just good service where a reseller talks to its customers over the festive break and gives the opportunity for a few who missed out on the deal.

I also made it clear I wanted to reduce my stock.

If a price drop happens we’d be daft to sell now at a loss as any official drop would then protect us from losses I am just reducing inventory on that line as I had over 150 in stock which was not comfortable with so sold some at a loss to get the stock more manageable.

It’s just called good service, no agenda.

I hope a price drop comes but there has been nothing communicated to ourselves and if it does come would no doubt be £1099 anyway.

Its a gimmick to save effort for devs I think, look at witcher 3, a game originally pre RT, and the lighting is so good that the RT version doesnt look as good but of course sells gpus due to the performance tanking.

People have been fooled by RT because usually the games with it on, have low effort non RT lighting, but stick it on a old game like witcher 3 and its suddenly 'meh', sometime last year a developer on here mentioned the main benefit is to save game developers time on games.

The Witcher 3 is absolutely night and day between ray tracing on and off in a lot of areas, lighting is a very important part of making the world feel more natural and off looks terrible, especially in this game.

Just with these quick comparisons, how does anyone like it off, looks very unnatural, washed out and the colours look terrible. Witcher 3 has always had a blue tint and ray tracing finally fixes that.

Really? Those W3 differences do nothing for me, meh. And I have completed it three times already, it does not look re-inviting.

The problem with RT is that in many ways it does make things worse. They aim for what a camera sees and not the human eye. So in W3 for example the interior of homes even with lots of windows looks far too dark. Black crush kills details where in reality they would and should be easily visible.

I don't know what's worse, that the the 4080 is still in stock or that you bring AMD into the conversation every time it's mentioned :rolleyes:

I just don't get the argument at this point, is the only indicator of a success that the card is sold out going forward? :cry: Nvidia have had a huge lead time so I would expect their cards to be readily available now and of course the new AMD cards are essentially sold out given they a) just launched and b) will be in limited initial numbers.

Sure price comes into it to a point but I'm not surprised there's GPU's in stock a few months to a month or so after launch.

That's down to the lack of bounces. Metro ee Vs old version demonstrates this well.

I think stock was pretty good this time round for amd but agree overall, that and we don't have the covid/lockdown nor mining fiasco anymore so in many ways we're back to the old days of launches i.e. gone are the days where we don't need part alert to tell us when a GPU is back in stock and roughly the MSRP price over the course of 2 years and then sold out within 2 seconds......

Pretty sure the 7900 XTX AIB models will not sell out. They both will collect dust at the back of the warehouse.

They have. There’s some preorders but no stock currently.

They were in stock elsewhere, way above MSRP too, and seems like they are still selling out. :eek:

EDIT - Although no idea on stock levels, so may have been 10 or something. :p
