Strange that some other well known UK online etailers now showing in stock on the 8GB Nitro... still waiting for the 4GB ones to become available... Need to get my VMware VCP6 Upgrade exam done first :eek:

As i know once i have this new toy, i will have less time to study

I'd probably rather go for the 4GB Sapphire RX480 at £199 rather than the R9 390 at £203. Nearly identical performance for slightly less ££ and heat.

You're probably right but I'm eyeing up the 8gb Vram. My aging 580gtx hits its 1.5Gb limit in most games now. Shame really as it does 1080p pretty well really. I will keep waiting but I really hope we get a stock update soon!

Do we have any idea when the new Trixx OC software will be released yet?

I think they will still be selling out for a long time. Sad that some AMD fans are having to resort to the green team, but I think the RX480 and 470 will be selling out for a long time.

i hope you're right, i must admit i have felt the urge to buy a 1060 but i just cant bring myself to do it. Im tempted to buy a reference 480 if im honest. Waiting for these AIB cards is a bit of a nightmare and i can only feel slight anger towards AMD.

Can't say as competitors.

A big UK based competitors site had 4 they now have 3. I cancelled my preorder here as I was told I would be waiting until the 12th with overclockers....

Thanks. Just ordered. 2 now in stock! Also the listing says just Nitro+ yet the mfr code is actually for the + OC

How come the sapphire nitro has its own thread but the powercolor or gigabyte cards which are also on preorder dont have a thread?

Is no one preordering those cards? What dates is stock expected of those cards?

It's mainly because the Nitro oc+ was the first of the Aib cooled cards to go up for Pre-Order.

Just seen a 390 Nitro for £203... If it fit my case I wouldn't be waiting for a 480 any more.

There was also an XFX DD 390 on the clearance section of OcUK this morning for £179.

I wouldn't bother the 4gb gigabyte model. It's ETA was the 28th of July, but for some reason they didn't receive any from their gigabyte shipment. Contacted them through webnote and they have no idea when they'll receive it and have nothing for the ETA, so I cancelled my order.

I take it its out of stock now on that unnamed website?

raggz · 3 Aug 2016 at 15:30

well looks like i will be waiting a long time for my monitor and power supply seeing as i was told they will ship when my card is ready to be sent.
"you are currently 443rd in the queue for this GPU, we are hoping to have all pre-orders fulfilled by the end of August. Current ETA's are 05/08 and 12/08"

Yep. Out of stock.

Zhuni · 3 Aug 2016 at 15:36

OK no worries

if its who I think it is I wouldn't have bought from them anyway.

Zhuni · 3 Aug 2016 at 15:42

Well I thought they were talking about ** no competitor hinting! - EVH **

Honestly this whole situation would be better if we got some feedback here and there about our Pre-Orders.

On the 18th of July Gibbo stated the PowerColor Devil cards were supposed to arrive around the 22nd. That was two weeks ago, and no update. Same for Sapphire.

If I didn't dig around the forum for peoples web note replies (which give contradictory info) I would have assumed my pre-order was shipped on 29th. No emails or any other official communication to say my pre-order is delayed.

I got bored of waiting so ordered the ZOTAC GTX 1060 Mini, should suit all my gaming needs and a nice £10 reduction today helped me decide too!
