    I am actually just so sick of waiting for pre-orders and hunting for information that I have cancelled my G1 1070 and ordered the cheapest 1070 FE on OC, which has 5+ in stock, and I feel great. It'll probably ship Monday.

    They dont keep the VAT, they simply collect it and pass it on. Because OC do so much business with ROI they have to charge local VAT. Maybe Scan dont sell that much and have not had to. Germany is only 19% I think, so can be a small saving to be made there.

    You can avoid them applying the Irish vat rate by getting it shipped to parcel motel.

    Yeah but it's just a pain though,
    Might be better off though as it's probably easier to rma through oc than scan?

    I bought a Keyboard from Scan that arrived with two broken keys, and the RMA process was relatively straight forward. Can't say I'd have any issues operating an RMA with them.

    Scan are sound for RMA. Just that OC tend to be cheaper on a lot of stuff and for gpus seem to be getting sent more stock than scan.

    I'm still on the fence as to when I get one.
    Do I take the plunge now or wait for the partner overclocked models which will be around the same price in a few months. I don't really need the card till BF1 comes out in October so might just sit pretty

    I'd sit on it. Its never a great idea to be a first adopter in the tech world. Wait for a few months, let supply sink into the market and keep a eye out for a good deal at your preferred price point.

    Yeah I just got a 1440p g sync monitor but with my gtx780 I'm still getting 80-120 GPs on bf4 with high settings so I can easily afford to wait

    And OCUK with another price change on the Inno's and they are now looking at €500. So back into the waiting for July/August camp. Even with the guts of €400 coming to me this weekend, can't justify paying into this Nvidia and retailer debacle.

    OCUK outlined they will have some stock arriving on the 30th, but mostly all pre-ordered. From retailer feedback on forums and reddit Inno are one of the brands not in any major rush and were happy to go with a later release when production issues subsided a bit

    Really good price. Did they do any messing, kept pre order price as is or what? Checked them there and its coming in at €506 now including shipping.

    Mindfactory a nightmare to navigate even with Google translate :O

    Yup, they had a spiel about how the price may change, but the end price I paid was €449 delivered as it was on the first day they had them - and €30 of that was delivery, so the card itself was €420 which is very respectable. Fair play to them for honoring the initial price. I think it's €500+ from them at the moment delivered.

    Yeah fair dues. Thats the sort of pricing for the 1070 I would have jumped onto day one.

    Everywhere I'm looking at the moment is €500+

    UK sites, ESPECIALLY OCUK are creeping their pricing upward with the sterling crash

    This ^.

    €400-450 for an AIB 1070 would be an instant buy for me.

    I so called it last week, that Nvidia would start leaking 1060 info just before the RX 480's launch :D I reckon above 980 but below 980Ti performance for around $200-250.
