OcUK GUIDE TO ORDERING YOUR AMD 9070 GRAPHICS CARD TODAY AT 14:00

I order earlier and got no confirmation email. Also now my order is marked as shipped but didn't get any shipping email either. When I login to oc webpage I can see the order and shipped status. Can I get my parcel tracking details from the OC site?

I am sure you will get an email mate, probably trying to catch up with the amount of orders they are getting.
 
Whilst you could say that, it was nigh on impossible for regular purchasers to get one.

True, it was a bit mental. I managed to get a 9070 Pulse but not before they went up from £525 to £539 but I suppose that's not bad considering the current pricing.

I do hope everyone who wants one is able to get one in the not too distant future for a reasonable price.

No but if done via premium delivery it will be shipped via DPD so if you have your delivery address setup on the DPD app it will also appear there

Same as me, i get no emails from OCUK weirdly, some issue with Hotmail blocking them but not putting it in spam either. However DPD have emailed me saying they plan to deliver a parcel from OCUK. Hopefully you get the same.
 
All the talk of principles over price reminds of the Groucho Marx quote.

“I have my principles and if you don’t like them… I have others”.

For what it’s worth I do commend OCUK for at least trying to keep prices reasonably sane all things considered. Yes it’s almost £100 over MSRP but better than the £700 plus we have been seeing elsewhere.

Honestly if this number of drops from AMD keep up we will see prices drop a bit eventually. Though I don’t see MSRP being achievable any time soon.

It's the kind of thing where demand will just drop off a cliff in my opinion, especially as we are approaching the warmer months in this country.

I just don't believe there can be that much continuous a demand for a £600+ card that doesn't offer a great deal more than the previous £600 - £800 range of card from the last generation.

A lot of the purchases of MSRP or close to msrp cards are seemingly for scalping purposes, but paying over £700 for one is very silly in my opinion.

It makes me wonder how so many people operate their lives in other aspects when it comes to money, when such impatience and disregard for the value of anything is displayed.

The more recent restocks at the higher prices are hanging around for a lot longer, I think that's an indication that people are holding out or the launch managed to saturate enough of the UK market that demand is notably lower now.

hopefully we will start to see some normalcy at 5080/9070xt and below

I will predict the AMD stock drops will be more frequent than from Nvidia. So Nvidia prices will only look worse.

Safe prediction considering they are still not as highly demanded as Nvidia, and also they seem to actually restock cards at a reasonable rate.
 
For now yes, if the terrible Nvidia stock levels and pricing continues it only erodes that Nvidia mindshare even more.
 
Been lurking in the forums checking for updates, saw the one for cards being released at 2pm, and I'm very happy to see my Pulse card shipping confirmation!! Thanks for all the updates OC. I don't know how long I would have been waiting to get one otherwise. Massively appreciated.
 
The xt sold 200 cards in 35min according to gibbo so the demand is still there. Don't forget the cheaper cards are coming ie 9060 and 60xt and looking at the 5060s leaks i can see amd outselling Nvidia in the 70 and 60 segment this gen
