I bet my bottom dollar that is a returned one.

If it's a returned one then OCUK are breaking the law by re-selling it as new and could be taken to court.

For their sake I hope it is fully new.

I was looking at getting that 1 Fury X instock but £649.99 is an absolute urine extraction.

I know it's a business and all that but do they need to gouge that much, makes them look like cowboys.

Indeed, The other main competitor in England sells it for £549.99 across the whole range, OCUK gives us Jews a bad name

I'm all for running a business well but there comes a point when you should stand back and say "Ok I'm actually becoming somewhat of a greedy **** here".

I don't see that OCUK are at fault here. If any fingers need pointing, point them to the people who are prepared to pay these prices.

If No-one bought at this price from OCUK, then they would reduce the price to shift the stock.

I find the whole stock situation bizarre. I mean it can't be doing them any good having such a short supply.

And what's with the massively inflated price of the sapphire in stock. :confused:

Only if it had been opened, if the box is still factory sealed then it is still a brand new card.

Ultimately it's AMD that need to satisfy demand and currently this launch has been diabolical .

Disgustingly short supply honestly. They just couldn't get it out the door quick enough with what they had.

Sorry but it's true, really hasn't been good.

I wonder if that Quantum Game Console thingy is swallowing up all the chips? they have 2 Fury-X chips in them.

True, Still wish OCUK wouldn't price gouge like that though, Yes I know a business needs to make money to stay afloat but there comes a point when that just goes into the overly greedy area.

I love shopping at OCUK but things like this is why I'm grateful that there are other stores that offer the same things.

A shocking launch in truth.

Mei · 7 Jul 2015 at 13:44

i think they were just a little shocked they were releasing new cards
and the emotion overwhelmed them

they forgot they actually had to make some
and that tv's exist
things like that

2nd date they will be more calm!

Got to agree, they should have had a plentiful supply for launch, unless its the pump issue thats holding them up, but saying that, thats something that should have been picked up on long before launch, then they could have had it sorted by.

It's a shame as it's actually a really good card despite the niggles. Ironically where it really shines it would seem is where you have lots of them in a system lol.

Dicehunter · 7 Jul 2015 at 14:04

One thing that made me giggle is when Mr Huddy was asked why it doesn't have HDMI 2.0 when even the lower end GTX 960 from Nvidia has it, His response just made me giggle -

"Well erm yes that's a *cough* good point and we ermm will be looking into that in the erm *Cough* future erm but there is a 3rd party *Cough* vendor releasing a erm *Cough* adapter that converts the HDMI 1.4 signal into erm HDMI 2.0"

Yeah great card, some of the reviews are rather odd, but apart from that, does seem to be competing with the Ti well, and thats whats needed really, for it compete.

That's a good question and I'd like to ask the same idiots that we have working for us how this actually came about but unfortunately I can't really tell you this because it makes us look bad.

AMD simply cannot defend not having a HDMI 2.0 socket. Any response attempting to, is purely damage control.
