Hey,

I'm after either a 5900X or 5950X, is there massive demand for these? want to build my new system on Saturday with this item being delivered on the day.

Also, any idea when the Samsung 980 Pro 1tb is back in stock?

Thanks

Ryan

For product related queries you should post a thread in this forum https://www.overclockers.co.uk/forums/community/pre-sales-queries.117/ You will get a much faster response.

I don't know about the 5950X but I expect their will be a big demand for the 5900X, it's better then the Core i9 10900K which is perpetually out of stock and this will go to filling the void.
 
AMD usually launch 8am west coast USA time. That would actually be 1pm because were in Summer time right now, but honestly who knows. The announce was at 5pm, I don't think AMD actually said anything concrete about launch time to the public yet - not that I've seen anyway.

Both Europe and the US are back on 'regular' time now and not Summer time. 8am Pacific Standard Time is also 4pm GMT

[Edit - Reddit thread discussing launch times in Europe. Looks like 2pm UK time? Maybe?]

That thread is nothing but people guessing, maybe they all have crystal balls or something.

The only actual confirmed times in the UK that we know of so far are 5pm at OCuk, and 2pm at another retailer via announcement they made via Twitter today.

(knowing how well the 3080 launch went though, I would be totally unsurprised if all sites went live at 5am and we're all screwed anyway. Be prepared to hit that refresh button on Thursday is all I'm saying).

They're not guessing, they're quoting other retailers in Europe who have announced release times. Those are unsubstantiated sources still, but so far OCUK are the only ones saying 5pm UK time. That's at least 5 other retailers are stating times equivalent to 2pm UK time. I know when I'll be online and looking to buy anyway, feel free to wait til 5pm if you want. I know which one matters more if they get it wrong :)

Well no, obviously I'll be online too, I'm just saying that the fact that a Polish retailer launches at 3pm Polish time doesn't mean anything for the British launch. It might happen at 2pm, it might not, but we only have two confirmed times in UK so far.

(and yes, everyone please wait until 5pm, many thanks :D:D:D:D)

Finland, Netherlands and Germany are also mentioned if you drill through the nested and hidden comments, though I think theyre on about the same retailer that has stores in multiple countries. Not entirely sure tbh, part of the reason I don't reddit is because its like screen vomit the way a thread is organised! :confused:

This should be announced clearly by AMD on their website, customers shouldn't have to trawl through google to try and get some kind of hint. I've had enough of treasure hunts already this month, I'm sat here all day playing the F5 game in another browser window for a 3080 yet again. Just can't bring myself to trust Radeon drivers until a few months after hardware releases so Jensen has another two weeks to bend me over and f.......und the repairs to his kitchen after he trashed it following AMDs announce. But that's a story for a different forum lol

Are streamers still using CPU to encode video? I know NVENC use to give worse quality but I thought that was pre 20 series?



Did a bit of digging and looks like CPU still provides better quality even for 20 series GPU's. 5900x will be plenty though unless your looking to stream whilst playing at 240fps and even then it will be more about single core performance on most games.

The aim would be 240 fps. But if it's around the 170 range I'd be happy looking to start streaming my gaming sessions for fun couple of friends do it and seemed interesting, I have a alienware 27inch 240hz monitor, but when I guess I'm being super competitive I'd just drop the stream, so 5900x it is. Side note the main reason I haven't cancelled my 3080 are the streaming feature nvidia offers for streamers, thanks for the help man.
