Overclockers UK is part of Caseking.de a German retailer and one of the biggest in the whole of Europe when it comes to computer parts.
Actually UK is not Europe anymore
It's still in the general direction :whiste:Actually UK is not Europe anymore
I would say the 480 only under delivered on efficiency. However we still have the double standard that if an nVidia card sells out, it means poor supply and price gouging, while if an amd card sells out it is a great value
What did you expect AMD to do? Outside of sabotaging mining performance with their driver, the new node (power savings) were going to make 480's catnip for a miner no matter what. It was inevitable.
It will be good for gamers in the long run when all these cards are dumped on the market when mining is less profitable in a few months. 480 prices will crash.
I do wonder though, if AMD's intent with the RX 400 series is to increase their market share, to help bring up the low-end developers cater for; how much potential market share is lost when say ... 4:1 (random wild guess) cards sold are being put into mining rigs vs actual gaming use? And what impact could it have.
Amazon either always sells out first or they never have that much stock in the first place.amazon.de looks cleaned out.

I was hoping they'd get the quantities right.
Oh, so you were wrong and meant to say supply was good in parts of Europe.Lol, is UK the whole Europe..?.
You said Europe, not EU. Please don't confuse the two.That s even more funny when one think about the brexit..
Did I say there were no RX 480 cards in Europe? Nope. You said "no short supply in Europe". I quoted a major retailer with a significant shortage. To be accurate you should have stated "no short supply in parts of Europe".https://geizhals.de/?cat=gra16_512&xf=1440_RX+480
Click on the brand you want and you ll see all german retailers that have stocks of the given brand.
That s the site i generaly look at in France, this is the retailer who own Hardware.fr :

Only the MSI is out of stock, so much about your "wrong", although it qualify adequatly your own post, actually even OcUK is not short supplied.

And since you stated there is limited stock in the US because demand is "very high", you are implying that locations in Europe that have adequate stock of RX 480 do not have "very high" demand for it.
So UK gets 10k units of 480s while US Amazon still shows temp unavailable?
Let me better rephrase my question, how many units does US Amazon received from AMD?
On the other link your provided from ocUK whatever that called, they suggest ppl who pre-order from Amazon can check their que position? So I should call and get an ETA?
I don't wanna wait until mid August like some poster speculated.
For a second I thought I was about to do something reckless...let's not go there.

Then don't! Nowinstock does text notifications. Every person who really wants a 480 and has a smartphone (with a compatible carrier) should be able to get one.
So because one retailer in the UK posts their numbers it's now taken as fact for the world.
This is ridiculous just because gibbo posted his numbers doesn't mean anything about the total world wide availability of 1060s vs 480s....
Not to mention the 480 is so abundant why can't regular people get them over Miners and why has aib skus taken longer than Nvidia's later launched 1060p
Why is it not considered trolling to use gibbo as the source for worldwide availability of the rx 480. I don't live in the UK and most of this forum doesn't.. .
Confirmation bias, also called confirmatory bias or myside bias, is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms one's preexisting beliefs or hypotheses, while giving disproportionately less consideration to alternative possibilities.

So if you're a gamer you've likely got a better chance of getting an aftermarket card (Powercolor, Sapphire) than the reference models.

At least with the pre order you are guaranteed one from Amazon. You should be good to go.Since I waited this long, I might as well get the after-market cooler, which I have pre-order from Amazon on July 25th.
I have already placed the Sapphire Nitro 4GB pre-order on Amazon, so don't know if I still need the alert thing.
Mang, this wait is getting into my head now all I remember was an experiment to test kids' patience - You can eat your cookies now or wait 30~60minutes for 2nd cookies. I want my cookies now! I mean an after-market cookie :hmm:
