Decent price for a very very good version of the 980Ti.

Maybe free del if you're a member of Hexus / AVF.

Comes with either Assassins Creed Syndicate or Rainbow 6 Siege Digital Download

They're even charging ANYTHING for postage for a £400 graphics card? "Please, slap me around the face again Scan!"

I'm really happy with my 980ti! I use it with my Dell UP3214Q. Can you get 4K TVs which do 60fps now?

I agree thanks John. Plus we get a free game. Now I'm saving up for a new monitor! I bought this for 1080P and it's smooth as silk on Fallout 4 and Witcher 3 but I feel its wasted so probably will go 1440. Not sure about 4K yet maybe a future SLI.



I so very nearly bought the Hybrid as it was the 980 Ti I really wanted but I'm not interested in Overclocking it and out of the box the FTW is one of the fastest around. So instead I bought a Samsung Evo with the difference and that's probably a better investment for me :sunglasses:

2 Dec 15 1 #148
Yep, feels great to finally use my 4K TV at full res, not a jagged edge in sight :laughing: Don't think I'll get tired of every game auto setting everything to ultra either haha.

Just noticed the Hybrid one is £610 now :confused: Glad I went for this model though, really like how the fans totally stop during normal usage.

I'm not going to bother pursuing any compensation or anything. Sure I'm annoyed about the immediate withdrawal of the money, the vague/confusing status updates by email and the lies about stock/dispatch over the phone, but AFAIK this is only the second time in the 13-14 years I've been using them where they've failed to get something sent out for next day delivery. If I remember rightly the other time was a Black Friday sale as well!
I just think they need to take on more staff for the period as it's obvious the normal warehouse numbers they have (which I think is 2 people?) get overloaded during sales and can't cope with the demand.

Plus I believe them when they say about little profits from these GPU's... what we paid can't be much more than the wholesale price of them, we could probably sell them now and make £100 profit!
johnthehuman
2 Dec 15 #145
Except they didn't; if they had 200 to sell, they should have sold 200 :neutral_face: not difficult really.
Danglos
2 Dec 15 #144
From what I've read EVGA supplied about 200 980 Ti FTW at a reduced price. These sold out in the first hour and Scan still honoured all 'Black Thursday' orders. EVGA subsidised the first 200 while Scan have only broken even on the remaining 980 Ti FTWs so I think in this case: yes they were not prepared for the number of orders and probably due to the number of cards and other Black Friday orders they have struggled to keep up so no prize for communication. However, I only budgeted for a 980 and thanks to this offer I'm getting a top 980 Ti. I think by honouring the orders and not cancelling them, despite being a stress, they have been pretty good. This was the only decent Black Friday deal for a Graphics card and fair play to Scan and EVGA for organising it.

2 Dec 15 #143
same situation for me. Mine was shipped 14:04 on Dec 1st for arrival Dec 2nd.

Lets all call and complain and then post the outcomes in here - I think it would be reasonable for them to compensate for this. Their main spiel when I last called was to explain they are operating on very small profit margins and can't offer anything - but that is besides the point now - They messed up, at our expense. The money was taken on 26th- Thursday, we were all lied to, on recorded phone calls about a priority batch being shipped in Friday for arrival on Monday. I also asked them to send a confirmation email in writing which they promised to do (this was on 27th) and didn't receive anything.

The one thing in their favour is it is an amazing deal for the GPU - and none of us were going to back out - but again that is besides the point it's a matter of customer service now.

Lol it's the Tuesday AFTER Black Friday and they wait til now they put up a message, basically saying we screwed up and don't know when we'll deliver your stuff.

How about you know Black Friday is coming (presumably because you forecast massive sales and see £ signs in your eyes), so make some preparations, like ensuring your stock is coming in, and you've got the capability to get things shipped on time??
CiaranC
30 Nov 15 #134
I'm waiting on mine. My 1GB 7850 died last week so this was good timing. I needed an upgrade as I've been playing at 1080p on a 4k for months now.
johnthehuman
30 Nov 15 #133
Not desperate as such (I've got a card in my rig at the moment), but this was a cracking deal. Usually Black Friday / Cyber Monday deals are rubbish and an attempt to clear out old stock that isn't selling, but this was a genuinely good offer.

Shame they were clearly not geared up to fulfil the orders, I always use Scan as I've never had issues, but this will make me rethink using them again.

I've already got a buyer for my current card lined up, so they're just waiting now xD admittedly it's not comparable to a chain when buying a house, but it's annoying enough :P
LewsTherin
30 Nov 15 #132
Damn, I feel bad. Seems some of you lot were more desperate for it, mine is still in Scan box all wrapped up as haven't decided what CPU/Mobo to get yet so can't build until I get all components. I've never bought from Scan before and this was the first time, but they are a very respectful company so I think you should all eventually have your orders fulfilled.
johnthehuman
30 Nov 15 #131
Ha I got that option but decided I didn't need Google knowing anything else about me, they know enough :laughing:

I've seen DPD despatch notifications from Scan come at 9 or 10pm but yeah I'm not hopeful on this one.
mamboboy
30 Nov 15 #130
Evening orders usually go out as late as 8/9pm for delivery the next day so still time left, can't see it happening though.

I selected the Google Certified Purchase Protection option when I bought it so I've got them involved now. Supposedly they take over and try to sort the problem out for you. Not on they took money 5 days ago, still haven't sent the damn thing and have me phoning every day only to be told empty promises.
johnthehuman
30 Nov 15 #129
Nothing again today, no notification, no email explaining why.

johnthehuman
30 Nov 15 #128
^ same, I was told my order has been labelled as "urgent", not really fair I thought, everyone that ordered with next day delivery should be treated the same.

How many cards did they have, that means people are working into the small hours to pack boxes?? :confused:

Be interesting to see if you turned up in person to collect, if they'd actually give you your card :laughing:
mamboboy
30 Nov 15 #127
They basically didn't prepare themselves for Black Friday. The lady on the phone said the guys in the warehouse have been working til 2-3am to get orders out. Now the thing is, why is it we're left waiting despite ordering a day before Black Friday officially started? She said the cards are in stock, so just send them ffs.

She says she'll put me as 'priority', but that a lot of people have had their orders prioritised as well. Really didn't sound optimistic they'd be out today either. So annoying...

Danglos
30 Nov 15 #125
I spoke to the customer services on Friday and was told my order would be shipped Saturday night for Monday. No updates, no emails, no graphics card. I don't know if they are lying as they don't communicate. I think worst case they should offer us all a hefty discount off a G1 or Strix. BT shop have Strix for £530 and G1 are around £530 as well I'm sure Scan as good will gesture could sell theirs for £470 free delivery and break even. At this point they are going to upset a lot of customers and lose future business.
johnthehuman
30 Nov 15 #124
I'm not hopeful based on the email I got from them tbh, the reply basically said "we might get it out today, if we try really hard, but don't hold your breath, we'll let you know if we can't.".

I'm fairly sure they don't actually have enough stock, but they can't tell us that since it'd mean they oversold the product, and admitting that is not in their best interests :laughing:

I've always been happy with Scan too, but this is pretty bad service.
Alacazam
30 Nov 15 #122
I haven't heard anything since the two emails about stock on Friday. I must have been one of the first to order, there were only 5 posts in here when I did.

"Thank you for your custom. We’re writing to let you know that unfortunately your order has been delayed due to a shortage in stock of the following item(s):

LN68502 – 6GB EVGA 980Ti FTW BLACKFRIDAY


We have been informed that the above items are now discontinued and we’re not able to replenish our stock as we had hoped. However, we’re still able to proceed with your order immediately if you can select an alternative or remove this item. "

Does this mean it's delayed until stock or they're just not going to do anything until I call to cancel?

They took the money ok...
mamboboy to Alacazam
30 Nov 15 #123
Same here. The emails basically meant either wait for overdue stock to arrive, or phone to cancel or swap it for another card to be sent 'immediately'.
But what seems to have happened is the people who rang on Friday, no matter at what point they ordered got theirs prioritised and shifted up the pecking order as they got dibs on the ones in or coming in stock... which is really irritating.

It's not on they've taken payment and left us in the lerch/kept lying about dispatches. As I said I always defend Scan, but they are really starting to wind me up with this... wouldn't be half surprised if there's no dispatch today either. Seeing as they've got our money, the least they could do is send out an email giving us an honest update.
Schmutz
30 Nov 15 #121
Same situation for me. Ordered and was sent "discontinued" and then "we are getting more stock" emails. Called... Was told "we have made a special priority order to cover the sales and it will arrive Monday" was offered £4-5 Saturday delivery (unbelievable they want to charge extra for delivering a day late!) was told "cannot offer any compensation as they are operating on small margins with this deal".

So, now it's Monday and it hasn't even been dispatched as far as I can see from the status. I really don't appreciate being lied to. Money taken the moment I ordered.

They'll be getting another angry call soon.

I can afford it, but it's just me thinking is it a worthwhile purchase really. I got bored with Battlefront after 2 days and play Fallout 4 for about half hour every day or so (mainly the only reason I want this card is because FO4 runs like ****), so thinking it may make sense just to get one of the SSD deals around today instead to fill that PC upgrading void!

Phoned up and confirmed they will receive the stock on Saturday and that they will dispatch on Monday. Can't say I'm that disappointed tbh, need to understand that they get a lot of traffic during Black Fridays and this might happen as I presume their order wasn't received in time. Since they are still fulfilling the order, not too bothered, plus not like I can build it this weekend anyways haha, just sourcing parts still. Motherboard, CPU, Memory still to go. (Got a bunch of SSDs and the 1000W Corsair PSU off Black Friday sales elsewhere).

Good to hear they will be fulfilling all the orders. I've had a right headache with them today but hopefully it's now sorted. First customer services chap I spoke to said they had been discontinued completely and wouldn't be getting any stock in so I had my order cancelled. Then I hear they could fulfill it but had to order again over the phone! Argh. Hopefully they will arrive tomorrow/tonight and I'll have it next week at some point. Fingers crossed.

If you don't already have an SSD then it's one of the best upgrades you can make.

This is such a good deal though, helps soften the blow :smile:
mamboboy
27 Nov 15 #100
It's just the fact it said it was in stock and will be delivered for the next day. It wouldn't have been hard for them to set it as pre order and 'stock due 27/11' . A few people may have booked the morning or day off to sign for it today...

And for me, the longer I have to wait for a high price item like this, the more I start to think "hmm, maybe that £450 would be better off spent on other things", especially with Christmas coming up. I'm personally 50/50 and getting more and more of a temptation to cancel :disappointed:

I'm in the same boat received the out of stock email. I called and they confirmed they have more in stock today which will arrive on Monday.

I explained I was disappointed - they offered me saturday delivery for a reduced price (usually around £11 offer for around £5) which I rejected and explained I am not happy to pay.

It seems like a lot of customers are calling through with the same complaint as the advisor was under pressure and had already raised the same issue with their manager who was strictly not offering any further compromise or compensation (I did take leave from Work today in anticipation of delivery).

I think it would have been a pretty reasonable compromise from the company to arrange for free Saturday delivery, but the advisor said the profit margins are very small and they can't offer anything. It is still the best deal for a 980ti so I had to just accept it.

My house mate ordered one around 3pm, he has not received the dispatch email either, I think scan.co.uk might be playing tricky and using these 'good deal' to promo themselves in order to grab our attentions, they stick a huge "SOLD OUT" Logo on this graphic card as their NO.1 deal of black Friday on their website just to pretend they have sold some, who knows ?

Great price. Got one a few months back from Nigel O'Hara where the price was slightly less than this but the wait was insane (4-5 weeks). Great card. If in doubt I'd say go for it. Quiet as a mouse and beats the hell out of my overclocked msi 290x.

This is the best card you can get for the price on air.. dont look anywhere else, also you will regret not buying this

the hyrbid is a better deal if you want your card to be even cooler, for an extra £50 you get the watercooled 980 ti only downside is the hybrid is a reference card being cooled the FTW is slightly more beefed up but in the end they should still overclock the same but hyrbid being much cooler

No probs, from what I can see the EVGA also has the silent fan feature where the fans are off below 60c, I couldn't see anything like that on the MSI one. I've got an EVGA card with that feature and it definitely makes for a quieter system. Obviously all your other parts need to be silent too! :smiley:

Oh and I've used EVGA for RMA's to Germany and they've been turned around in about a week which is pretty quick for a card leaving the UK->Germany->UK. So with the UK base things can only be better and faster!

EVGA warranty is spot on, never had an issue and very easy to sort out if anything goes wrong. All done through their EU website

Thank you both very much for your help :smiley: really appreciate it!

Yep, that PSU has 2x 6+2 PCIE connectors so it'll be fine.

I read the GPU comes with molex adapters for those with without 2x 6+2 available as well.

Thanks for the info :smiley: may I ask about the 8+8 pin PSU connection? I'm not familiar with that, I have a Corsair 650M PSU, will that support this GPU?

Many thanks

They are very similar but the links you have posted are for the SC+ (06G-P4-4995-KR)
FTW part number is: 06G-P4-4996-KR

The FTW ships with higher clocks and uses an 8+8 pin PSU connection (the reference config is 8+6).
You may get a higher overclock with this model but it's still silicon lottery :wink: Very good price though!

Just collected mine, couldn't pass it up at this price.. Ludicrous!

I was about to buy an R9 Fury when this came up, which was only £43 more and the rival for the R9 Fury X which is the top tier for cards available, no brainer! Thankfully I only live 10 minutes away :smile:

As mentioned it's the FTW model which comes pretty clocked and with the all aluminium backplate so it's not even a budget card.. And you get either Assassins Creed or R6 Siege via DL!

Hot!

26 Nov 15 #37
This is the FTW version with a dual bios, higher clocks, better backplate, betting cooling system...

Also worth pointing out the Hybrid one is also a very good price at £499.99:

This or fury for one of our pcs? This doesnt have that high speed compressed memory does it?
shkurti to MadonnaProject
26 Nov 15 #5
​HBM is still in it's infancy meaning most games won't even utilise it properly until it becomes the standard. 980ti is a much better card than the fury.
noiren to MadonnaProject
26 Nov 15 1 #8
They have their trade offs, the 980 Ti has raw power but the Fury is a much more efficient card with it main downside being the memory which is limited to 4GB, for now, and because it so efficient only comes in question if you're rendering in 4K or in a multi-monitor setup. A while back I read that Nvidia has plans to introduce HBM type memory but who knows when it will come.
But anyway it all depends on your setup, the real advantage of a Fury is that it takes far less space and runs much cooler making ideal for a compact setup.
rev6 to MadonnaProject
26 Nov 15 #19
The 980 Ti. Right now, the memory speed is completely irrelevant. The Fury is restricted mostly by drivers/API. It will get better with DX12, but when is that going to kick off? Fable Legends this year, then maybe Deus Ex in 6 months...
dcpp4 to MadonnaProject
26 Nov 15 #35
fury scales better at 4k and in crossfire and should have better dx 12 performance. If you game at 1440p or less the 980Ti will be a bit faster. Also the 980Ti is a great overclocker.

It should only be around 20 post's, that's what it was for me at least a couple month's ago.
TheSuperchimp
26 Nov 15 #29
How much does this normally retail at? searching online has just made me confused seeing what seems to be the same card from £580 to £480. Does that mean this is just a £20-30 saving compared to the usual deals?
Schmutz to TheSuperchimp
26 Nov 15 #32
That's still a decent % saving isn't it? With the free game download also. Where you put "£580 to £480" in your post made me confused haha! I guess that is a typo?
mamboboy to TheSuperchimp
26 Nov 15 #33
It should be about £550 is my guess.

EDIT: It's 749.99 Euros on EVGA's site so £526.79, but add a little extra to cover UK's rip off prices...

Nice find. I've been waiting for a deal like this to show up, for 6 months! and I've finally bitten - I will seek to sell the free game download code. I called to check and found as I have an active AV forums (.com) account ,I qualify for the free delivery, so this arrives tomorrow Woo - GTA V 4K!

VOTE HOT! I'm pretty sure there are many people looking for a 980ti who will go for this.
mamboboy
26 Nov 15 #28
AV Forums is even less, I think you just need 'Member" status or better but the min order is £50 not inc VAT.

What I don't understand is Overclockers deals are frequently posted here not including postage yet nobody bats an eyelid, despite that free delivery being much harder to obtain!

if you are looking for a GTX 980 ti, this is a very very good deal

FTW edition is a higher rank to SC edition, and it has Dual BIOS, says the SC ACX edition prices at 525 is fair, then this card should be at 550-570 retail price range.

I wish I didn't buy my 980Ti last month and get this instead

If they dare put it on their ebay store, I will buy one to SLI with my current, I have a £30 ebay voucher expires on 30th/Nov
mamboboy to xavierzzz

Unfortunately it looks like they just have old clearance stock on their eBay page now so can't see it happening :disappointed: Tempted to just get it any ways as it's a very good deal.

Excellent price for the card. Thought about buying but my R9 390 is only a month old. :smile:

I bought this GPU with the build I ordered through SCAN about two months ago. I only have good things to say about the company&service, while the GPU is a beast. I only wish I hadn't bought a 1080p screen.

I guess thats true but if you want pure performance, i have this exact gpu and its in a rvz02 not suffering from any heat issues. The case is around the same size as the xbox one, getting updates weekly, the furyx would not have fit but the fury and nano wouldve, anyways atm i think the 980ti is the best performing card on the market even beats the titan x when overclocked.

Yeh I doubt it either, just realised this is their black friday deal just posted early!
I was originally looking at EVGA or ZOTAC so this is a good deal! :smile:

The question is which game is worth more as I will be selling the code as not interested in either game lol
mamboboy
26 Nov 15 #6
Shame it's not on their eBay page. Have a £30 voucher to use :disappointed:

I just can't click buy one day before black friday!
Aretak to liltman

For what it's worth, there's absolutely zero chance of getting a 980 Ti any cheaper than this tomorrow. Especially not a relatively high end model from a top brand like EVGA.
