I am afraid not sorry, you could order two different cards but with such limited quantities, it is very unfair to let people have more than one.

@Gibbo - fantastic offer. Just wish I had £500 going spare to take advantage of it.
On the other hand I scored a 6700 8pack bundle a couple of years ago on your offer like this, and snagged one of the RX480s when they were again on one of your forum only offers, so I can't say I haven't done alright from you over the years.
Um regarding prices of silicon wafers, don't know if you've seen the news this hour but Taiwan (home to Global wafers) just had a massive earthquake. I've seen pictures of tall tower blocks leaning sideways. Those poor peopleI think you are very wrong with stating every member here is or was a miner, most here are gamers and those who have mined did it with their gaming rigs. The amount of members here who have 30+ cards at home mining will be a select few which compared to the amount of miners is probably a single digit percentage.

Ok - I won't order 2 different cards then, cheers!
While we are sort of on the topic of everything driving up prices (memory, components etc), how come it hasn't effected consoles?
Consoles use much the same as gpus and yet the consoles remain much the same prices as always, if not cheaper (always seem to be on deals). Sony/MS subsidising it?, or gpu manafacturers think people are mugs and just charging what they can get away with?

Yes trying to contact our Taipei office as we speak, still no response, its on the outskirts so all should be fine. Also asked our HK office to investigate as they are still online. Though it is past midnight there.
Contract pricing.
When you order volumes of 100k+ you can get contract pricing. Not only that, I suspect the console product is upto six months ahead.
One of the big memory silicon manufacturers did contract pricing with a big memory supplier, over time they eventually went bust.
Another example is laptops, so far no price increases, well some, but its being tiny, but you can bet they will come, reason again is they operate generally on a six month manufacturing and have contracts with Intel, Samsung, NVIDIA, AMD etc. Eventually they will have to move pricing, it is just more delayed.

well played Gibbo
You can bet the console manufactures have contracts with the suppliers, that run into years, that control the costs involved for almost all parts needed in a console. So they are not adversely affected but 'short term' rises in parts costs - supply maybe, but parts costs no.
To be honest, my 1080 stock on offer is old stock, before the price increases, the 1070Ti cost me more and I quite frankly would take a 1080 over a 1070Ti due to the memory bandwidth and 1080's are very very overclockable.

Btw @Gibbo id stick this in a way that everyone willing to use code needs to have 1.forum membership of at least 4 minths 2 code accepted only over phone with forum login. Its only way i see this will work without UNWANRED peopke getting this deal
Got hold of one of our Taiwanese girls, she took this picture, they are all safe but yeah the region is prone to earthquake, I've being their during such quakes, one I slept through and the other I was stood chatting and thought I was suffering from being drunken or faint, the reality was the ground and building I was in was shaking. A few seconds later I got a text message from Taiwanese government advising I go to a shelter immediately, fortunately it quickly ended and no worse happened.
Not possible to implement, we've done what we can, 1pc, 1 use of code per account and only posted here.
Best we can do.

O well was just an idea. U know that there are some clever ******** around. Like ones messing with my insurance payout....
I understand. And the Giga 1080 was tempting. Just have my heart set on an EVGA iCX this time around, with the overkill mosfet cooling and all the temp sensors (my 970 died from a burnt mosfet), plus the extra purchasable warranty. Thanks for sharing your thoughts though, agree the 1080 is a great deal for anyone not fussed about that stuff.
Going to be patient and keep gaming on a GTX 750 1GB I've borrowed (do not recommend... then again, there are even worse cards so I ought to be somewhat grateful).

If we get another delivery of the EVGA 1070Ti FTW will try to do something on them, but right now I think there is just 2 in stock, so would be very pointless as unfortunately our system for setting up voucher codes is very complex, if it was a 5 minute job we would do a lot more, but doing those seven codes nearly took half a day as the new website/backend since updating improved some things but made making vouchers and absolute minefield.

I might be wrong - would have to double check - but I think the main fabs are down the south west side of the island and the quake was north east?
EDIT: Looks like TSMC has some in Hsinchu but that is on the west coast though they probably felt it there.
