[Gibbo]

and another:

Will know more tomorrow later this week, only important thing right now is people are safe.

 

[Gibbo]

Ye as long as the Nice ladies You meet there are fine its all good

Two of them sent me the pictures, so if they are taking photos, they are OK I think.

Taipei did not get hit bad, but on the coast it was much stronger, so fingers crossed all are safe.

 

[Gibbo]

Support line closed now so looks like i might have missed out on this offer. Oh well looks like it was not meant to be
Will just have to go back to hunting for a used card on ebay.

Which card?

 

[Gibbo]

But isn't some of that offset by the improved £/$ exchange rate?

Yes but it is nowhere near enough, as such new landed cost are much higher.

Example $240 / 1.30 = £185
Example $320 / 1.40 = £230

So even with new rate cost has increased £40-£50 on an RX 580 and that is before any gouging by a distributor and reseller. As such is why the cost won't be going back to what they once were, even when supply is plentiful.

The pound needs to buy you 1.70 dollars for every 1 pound to neutralise the effect and its hovering around 1.40 so its got a very long way to go.

 

[Gibbo]

Would like a code for the EVGA 1080TI FTW

Its only for the cards listed.

 

[Gibbo]

Was the ASUS Strix . Just checked order to send you a screenshot and it seems to have changed from Cancelled to Not Paid, although I dont see a button that I can press to proceed to payment, maybe I am blind:

Call sales tomorrow, we had 60 of those to sell at offer price and when I left tonight we'd only done around 8 cards with codes, so plenty spare.

 

[Gibbo]

If the old prices are gone for a long time Nvidia will laugh because these prices are too close to a titan if Nvidia sell a titan volta at 1200 which keeps an 800 resell value its going to make sense for everyone who used to buy a ti or similar top end gpu. Where does this leave retailers?

And how long until AMD sell threadrippers direct too because of mining? It makes sense for them to promote mining as much as possible.

Maybe in 5 years time the only graphics cards sold will be via NVIDIA and just reference cards. We won't sell them, board partners won't make them and the focus shall be other areas for resellers and board partners, of course the future is an unknown.

 

[Gibbo]

Still plenty of codes left, most popular so far is Strix with 19 sold using the voucher code, leaving 41 codes.

 

[Gibbo]

Vega is such a fail. £600 for a 56 and the next card down is a 580 at what would be circa £270 at these prices gibbo is giving here. What are amd playing at?!

No RX 580 based on new cost would be £290-£350 depending on the brand of card if supply was plentiful.

 

[Gibbo]

Nice one Gibbo! Tempted by the 1070...

On the 1070, 6 codes used, leaving only 9 codes.

 

[Gibbo]

How many vegas left? Temping, very tempting

8 codes used, 22 left.

 

[Gibbo]

None by the look of it

Hi there

A little statistics update:

1080Ti Strix: 29/60
1080Ti Giga: 5/10
1080 Giga: 7/60
1070 Giga: 6/15
1060 6G: 3/30
1060 3G: 1/60
VEGA: 8/30


So the cards which are likely to sell out are both 1080Ti's, the 1070 and VEGA cards by Friday.

 

[Gibbo]

It is good to see OcUK looking after genuine gamers on the forums.

We try but its extremely hard, luckily so far as the volumes are relatively small using the voucher it does seem all genuine gamers.

For example whilst codes being live, we've done 9pc of VEGA at £599 and 12pc at £749, the guys paying £749 obviously did not read the forum and were also most likely miners buying them as gamers will generally not pay more than £600 for a VEGA card.

 

[Gibbo]

Lol, so blatant.

Either you're a wind-up merchant or you're simply telling Gibbo that he can't prevent miners buying his cards, something we all already know.

Congrats, man. Nobody can stop your mining empire.

Correct, but we can make it difficult and more time consuming.

 

[Gibbo]

Mmm tempting it is indeed. I do have an upgrade itch and had for a while... and already been looking at a couple 1080Ti, but also wondering if I should wait for next generation. The FuryX still doing pretty well. But first got to know from @Gibbo , would you accept orders with the code from abroad as well, or is UK only ??

Your a forum member so give it a try, if it works then go for it, let us know if it works.

 

[Gibbo]

The SRP of a GTX 1080 Ti is ~£600 with current exchange rates. £750 is great compared to the £950+ seen in most places but it's still way above where it would be in a well-supplied market.

Great gesture from OcUK but please be careful with those impulse/panic buys.

NVIDIA web price is the SRP, which is not £600 and £600 is now above cost, so it won't probably ever happen again I am afraid.

 

[Gibbo]

Thank you! Will do!

Post in CS, they shall sort this for you, still some codes left too, if you have any issues, direct them to my post here.

 

[Gibbo]

Out of stock though, so the price isn't a true reflection of anything really. Has it always been £679 from nVidia or has that changed? Considering we're always told electronics are bought and sold in dollars you'd expect it to change fairly often.

I agree it won't ever be that low again. Usually early adopters pay a premium but for this card it is pretty much the opposite.

Always being that price and I suspect now they are making little or a loss, so would not be surprised if they adjust pricing up as well.

Actually the recent graphics launches, the early adopters have pretty much won every time recently, prices seem to be either increasing in general or you simply get less for same money.

But on the flip side, I've just made a truly amazing SSD deal which will go live in coming hours/days. So its not all bad.
