5800 series when are they out?

[Roonaldo]

On the ATI 5800 series section of the site they all say pre order next to them. When are they coming out?

 

[ac1d1ty]

[Subtlesnake]

Been away for the last few months?

been out for about 3 and half weeks now. OCUK are pretty fast at getting new stock. I would read the update posts Fatboy does for updates

 

[scorchisio]

the site showed cards in stock and fatboy didnt post beforehand with yesterdays batch on the forums when they arrived. I was advised by another member thank goodness.

+1. It's actually paid (for now) to be an early adopter for a change!

He did.

Good evening,

Sorry for the delay in reply.

Arriving tomorrow I have :-

55 x Sapphire 5850 Cards available
85 x Sapphire 5870 cards available.

This si all free stock after back orders. the cards should be ehre before lunch so will be no problem in shipping them on a next days delivery service.

 

[scorchisio]

he didnt update when they arrived to him in his hands and thats all i consider to be in stock. he said arriving tomorrow i have etc etc, that is not guaranteed stock. what if the delivery van crashed etc en route

It seems like because of pre-orders, all of these cards are sold before they ever register as being in stock on the site. Your best bet is to pre-order as well and join the queue imo.

He said that was the numbers free after taking into account preorders, and the whole 140 sold in under 4 hours.
