AMD 6800 & 6800 XT MBA LAUNCH AT 2PM TODAY - EXTREMELY LIMITED STOCK!
- Thread starter Gibbo
- Start date
I can see them now, thanks.
That would be on you for selling to CEX when you can get £300 for a RTX 2060 non-super.
https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/todays-6800-series-aib-launch-important-info.18908580/I see also see them, but are they gone already or the button will be activated shortly?
There won't be a "Buy" button, OC UK have none in stock to sell and they don't know when they will arrive.
they're being sold directly so you'll get them for MSRP if you can beat the bots
oh I wish I was young
I totally understand the faith issue, I've referred to it earlier in this thread also. Unfortunately, we also feel like we've been hung out to dry, but, because we rely on our relationships with the vendors we can't publicly go to war with them.
Well just guessing here, but MSRP might be £1318.68
$999 -> UK (10% duty, maybe and then 20% VAT ontop of all that)
$999 -> £1098.90 -> £1318.68
No idea what is duty free in electronics world.
If duty free then an absolute minimum £1198.80
Maybe a cost for shipping etc too. *shrug*

Probably better off for these launches with some kind of system where previous purchasers (to avoid bot spam) can register interest to buy and allocate tickets (based on availability) to purchase via random selection hah then list any left over stock later.

Hammer and the anvil and OcUK in between?
As they already said a few times - they have no manpower to implement any of such system.
The mad part is, WE don't know! still...we honestly don't have a clue what our cost pricing is going to be, the NDA is air tight
Unfortunately, as I've said many times already in this thread. Until we can find a way to do this completely online, which would definitely require a beefier account system, there's no way that we can realistically achieve this. It took three days to manually cancel all of the 6800 XT oversell (a process which takes less than a minute per order) there's no way that we would have the man power to deal with over 700 orders manually.
Shouldn't have to cancel orders with that system - people could register interest to buy with an existing account before the launch then system randomly allocates a token or ticket randomly to those people based on availability that can be used to purchase on the day - no one else can put orders through.
Not sure I'm explaining it very well but it doesn't take manpower to do - we've used that kind of system before in places I've worked previously (not electronics/GPU related products).
Depending on demand, etc. you may need to time limit how long such a token is valid for before reissuing it which might disappoint some customers but better than having to cancel 100s of orders and less getting hit by bots, etc.
There is no guarantee you will get it on the 31st though its an ETA. Dont forget what the Xmas post is like in between Xmas and New Year !
Better off just sitting back and relaxing till next year when you can have Covid vaccine and then get a 6800xt for a more reasonable price when they are in stock and in plentiful supply
Their 6800xt was £588 with the $ price being $599. It has dropped as low as £581 but back up to £584 now as it fluctuates with the $ price. With that the 6900xt would then be similar making it around £950 mark.

God this **** show from AMD has got me looking at an RTX3090 for £1250 (I don't pay the vat). Nooooooooooo
**Must stop looking its a terrible value card!!!
Might try for a 6900XT perhaps?

Getting ahold of it is a different matter of course. I have missed out whilst trying for 5900x, 5950x, 3080fe and 6800xt myself so far. Twice cause Barclays blocked it for no reason and twice just not fast enough on the old F5 spam.
