The GeForce GTX 1080 Is The Best Selling High-End Card Ever Released – AIBs Confirm

I'm a sales guy yes, I'm also a tech guy and I'm also a member.

Also I am not you regular sales guy I often advise against upgrades or even recommend lesser product, I just tell it how it is and sometimes it gets me in trouble with manufacturers but I put customer first. :)

It's a good way to be as most of us don't button up the back and would know if you were talking the proverbial lol. Trust is always a good thing so keep it up.

It's a little surprising due to the pricing that this is selling so fast but when you consider how long we were on 28nm and a lot of people jumping on the new process it's not so surprising. Add to this that PC gaming is on the rise then i forsee records getting broken again in the future.

So you use your own judgment on what ocuk actually sells?
Sorry thats laughable. you have no idea what they do or dont sell just like the rest of us that arent privy to the information.

I presume you buy every gpu made aswell to test and use your own judgment aswell before deciding on what to buy since company representatives cant be trusted?

Nope I wait on performance tests from sites I can trust and performance threads on here I can trust.

You correct I dont have a clue what OCUK has sold, but we have been told 100k Even if 80k wasn't forums members, and the other 20k was active members that Owners thread should still be stronger list.

I find it hard to believe for such sales they is little activity on the forum.

I should think so too since price gouging is up to 20% on the card :p

Not often you get away with putting a 20% extra profit on something and you still can't make enough :D

That's what happens when you make incredible products that utterly spank the competition.

Actually, in the case of the Pascal cards, I take that last bit back since AMD no longer compete in the high end at all.

Majority of sales are pre-orders so they aint got their cards.

Rubbish? Were Nvidia no longer competing in the high end when the 7970 released well before the gtx680 or when the gtx480 arrived 6 months after the 5870.

No this is what happens when you have a monopoly :p

Get used to it as AMD hasnt been in the high end game for years and doesnt look like they will bother.
 
I mean it's not like the forum is actively advertised. It's a little button in the corner of the website. If you're coming here to buy a GPU you look at the product page and the checkout and that's it :confused:

I see your issue you dont read posts. 100k figure quoted looks to me to be is worldwide not ocuk.

BTW most sites that test gpu are a business, they are in a different market than ocuk but are still there to make money hard to trust one and not the other

I came by this forum not because i was buying which i already had done but because i googled my PC problem and this was one of the top links. Joined up and asked about my problem and have been here ever since.

Hopefully AMD will get bought out by someone competent so that we have a chance at true competition again.

Am sorry but I just don't believe what salesperson say. Never have and never will.

Edit
Last time I repeating this.
I know not all the sales would post in that thread!!! I know that 100k will not POST! But you expect more than 60 post from that 100k! The thread should be into the hundreds easy...

Some people are 1350 odd in the queue on the evga step up program, every card has sold out. The points you try to make are pointless, we all know you hate nvidia so why even come here? People like you should just be banned from the nvidia posts.

Precisely. So people who are looking to just buy a GPU and leave will have no interest. Trying to make a correlation between number of GPUs sold and members on the ROH is invalid.
