Guideline is £189, we are £188.99 Inc VAT and forum members get FREE shipping and I am not supposed to release pricing even though the USD is known, but AMD can get annoyed and we like AMD so don't ask for any more pricing.

Nice one Fella! Money is prepared

IN which case just buy a fast Intel setup.

Personally I don't prioritise graphics and certainly wouldn't specify an entire PC around playing emulated games that are current generation. I loved BOTW, the story was amazing, and gameplay is great, I'm much more likely to a play a game for the enjoyment than the graphics. I still play Battlefield 2, and older games and visuals are super low down on importance. I remember the arguments in school about who had better graphics on their Spectrum, or C64, then it went on again with NES and Master System etc. so yeah grew out of that a few decades ago.

I totally agree with you normally but after experiencing it at 4k/60fps... BOTW just feels amazing. The fluidity, the detail of the scenery.. its just a completely upgraded experience and like a total remaster.

And BOTW's frame-rate on the switch is awful. When I played it, I had dips below 30fps which did feel jarring. Link running around felt not great. Despite all that, I still give it a 10/10. Its not like we're comparing a 1080p 60fps game to a 4k 60fps game. we're literally comparing a <1080p <30fps game to a 4k/60fps emulated version [with little to no bugs].

Its honestly amazing and does the game so much more justice. The framerate is actually whats way more important tbh.]

____________

Yeah, I was edging towards intel. the reason I don't want to do that is I feel its expensive and overpriced for a dead platform. If the 3600 or 3700 somehow manages to

______

Its a matter of experience, not just graphical fidelity. BOTW on the switch is a slideshow with frequent drops below 30fps. We're not talking about a 1080p/60fps game versus a 4k/60fps remaster.
Its comparing a <1080p <30fps experience versus a 4k/60 one.

I can tell you now that playing at those settings increases the enjoyment and fluidity of the game. Mechanics which I found quite cumbersome and even the animation of sprinting feels smoother, Link feels more agile, bow aiming and combat feel more responsive.

I don't build an entire PC around emulated but games but I do prioritise worst case scenario based logic for every component. For example, my CPU is most likely to be taxed by video editting and emulation. We all know that bar a few exceptions, CPUs are not the bottle neck when targeting 60fps or when playing at higher resolutions. If my CPU hits 100hz rather than 144hz, its not the end of the world. If my video render takes 10 minutes rather than 7, its not the biggest deal. If my CPU doesn't allow me to play a specific set of games I want to (in this case CEMU/BOTW), then sadly that is a pain.

Fair price that.

3900X should be £474.99

Is there a possibility we will see CPU+Mboard bundles on Sunday? There was some suggestion on reddit that there might be a (30$)discount promoted by AMD for such bundles.
Currently planning to order a B450 in advance, so I am ready to go. But if there is a discount on x570 bundle I might be tempted to wait.

No bundles, because we shall simply put the parts we recommend all into one section and then customers can cherry pick the parts.

A Ryzen 3rd Gen section shall appear within CPU section today/tomorrow, this is where the processor and NAVI cards shall appear along with other items we recommend for people's Ryzen 3rd gen builds.

looks like OC will have very competitive prices

robfosters · 2 Jul 2019 at 14:08

Any chance of orders a few days early for those loyal forum members with, shall we say, 28,661 posts or more?

Nope, I am afraid not, AMD's rules are crystal clear and were not breaking those rules, we walk the line as it is with my post on these forums, don't expect more.

I don’t really like this mega stringent NDA caper. Makes me think they’re hiding something!

NDA is totally normal on all product launches, nothing different on this launch to any other.

That's not true there are some OcUK competitors in the UK with pre-orders live now.

Just checked the big 5 again... not that I can see.

But it does not matter now.
I'm happy to order from OCUK on Sunday since Gibbo confirmed they are following price guidance.

It's standard procedure.
It really is like you've never seen a launch ever

certainly not sanctioned

I dont mind the NDA business so much with the prices etc. But reviews being released at the last minute is a bit annoying to say the least, I do like to research stuff A LOT before I buy

Yeah same, specially something as important as the heart of your PC lol

No they won't, they just charging RRP.

Now if they start charging less than RRP, then you might start saying they're competitive, depending of course, on what other etailers charge.

have you seen leaked prices from EU retailers? trust me £189 looks like bargain
