Are you picking up your order? Mine was placed after yours and I got the text to pick it up yesterday. Went in today and got told I was the dead last person to get that model. Next guy was 10 secs behind and they have to wait for the next shipment.

Picking up, although the particular store didn't have stock. Maybe I should have got it delivered...

Store guy told me the store selection didn't matter, they just sorted by time of order confirmation and assigned it as such. Possible that yours is just stuck in Wiri on the way to your store or smth.

One of my friends managed to order a 9070xt Pulse from PB website yesterday by doing some sort of URL manipulation to get it into his cart.

someone needs to explain this url manipulation business to me ... interesting!

I'm not 100% but it looks like changing the code of the add to cart button to add a different product (if you know its ID) instead?

Based off my brief looks while shoulder surfing them looking them up in the internal staff ordering system.
Stock number for both 9070/9070xt where 30-55 units each for the around 15 SKU's.

So approx 550 cards total..wonder how many were XT's? I remember thinking that doesn't sound like "heaps" to me.

Probably "heaps" is relative next to the paper launch of the Team Green stuff.

that's probably a decent number, maybe they didn't think more than 500 people would fork out over a grand for a GPU

the 500+ is just one retailer, there must be other retailers with stock?

Ascent seems to have some of the more expensive models in stock, cheapest is the 9070 at $1321 all the others are more expensive.

Just wanted to offer my experience with buying my (first!) AMD card. My last GPU upgrade was a 2070 Super in late 2019, which is definitely struggling to keep up at 1440p ultrawide now... :(
Never thought that I would go Team Red for a GPU, given my past experience with driver issues and lackluster performance from, albeit, some older cards, but with the Nvidia 50 series launch and the ridiculous prices they're asking for for their cards, I didn't want to give them my money anymore.

I had just missed out on ordering at 3am from PB Tech at launch for a white card (either Sapphire Pure, or Asrock Steel Legend) since I wanted a white one specifically to match my current PC build.

Fast forward to Friday afternoon, I decide to finally commit and have accepted that I will wait till what was estimated to be late April/early May to get the card.

I placed my order for the Sapphire Pure on Friday afternoon ~2:30pm.

To my surprise, I then get a text at ~4:30pm, saying that my order is ready for collection :O
I check the web order, and it still says that it's 'Awaiting Goods', but decide to try my luck anyway since I got the txt. So I rush down to PB Tech Penrose branch before they close at 5:30 and very excitedly picked up my GPU! :D

Maybe they have more stock of the Pure variant, since it's not the cheapest SKU (Pulse). But I'm happy to spend the extra $65 for some RGB and a tiny OC, but most importantly the white colour hahaa. At the time, the Asrock card was listed as 'Out of Stock' so I couldn't even place it in my cart to order :P.
My preference would have been the Sapphire one in the first place, since they cost almost the same (~$1.4k), but the Sapphire has a slightly higher factory OC + a beefier cooler, but if the Asrock one was in stock and guaranteed to pick up, then I would have settled for that. But if they both had the same wait time, then might as well wait for the one I wanted.

But I guess I got lucky somehow without needing to wait forever. 😍

(The 'Pure' does look like 'Puke' hahaa. That the bubble graphic is not very well placed XD.)

We’re not a big market. Heck if you want an Intel card you have to get it from somewhere else most of the time, it’s almost never in stock.

It looks like PB Tech does have some stock of B570 and B580 cards at the moment:

They also have the advantage that they only need a PCIe v4.0 x8 slot to get DisplayPort 2.1. The new Nvidia cards seem to all be PCIe v5, and I have not checked but I think the new AMD ones are PCIe v5 too.
