AMD 6800 & 6800 XT MBA LAUNCH AT 2PM TODAY - EXTREMELY LIMITED STOCK!

Yes, but who knows when.
About another 5 this year for the XT supposedly :s
I can see retailers just not bothering - most aren't even promoting the listing of the cards.

no XT just 6800 in OCUK inventory, unless they are coming in
How do you know that, do you work there?

I just phoned them up and asked
This is also what Gibo said earlier - just 6800. And likely not that many, plus most likely £80+ above MSRP (so MSRP for 6800XT). They'll still vanish very quickly, I am sure.
This is funny because places including OcUK are selling above the RRP so I’ll assume you’ll boycott them too
If it's considerably above RRP, then yes I will. Why pay more if you don't have to?
The problem we're going to face is that the now oft-quoted "selling at MSRP in 4-8 weeks" isn't necessarily going to apply to the UK as we're going to be having all the additional fun that comes with the end of the transition period. I can see the prices on OCUK and elsewhere staying where they are now, if not going up, rather than down.

Bought a 3070 from OCUK. Best part of a month later, 3 places advanced in queue.
Bought 6800 direct from AMD themselves, courier marked it as "signed for by 'my name' and delivered" three days ago....I absolutely did not sign for it, and no sign of it since.
Tried emailing AMD and got no reply, courier basically told me to take it elsewhere. AMD direct shop has no email or phone number. Complete nightmare. I literally have to ring AMD's magic catch-all number later today when they are open.

It's there any possibility of long standing customers getting any priority (dare I say loyalty) with the purchase of these new gpus?
You know OCUK... us old farts who have no interest in social media and who would not even think to look on twitter, where you posted your secret links to purchase the 6800 series.
Clever idea, but a big fu to many of us.
The question is... In this age of scalpers... Will I be able to buy a gpu before die? Will I ever get to experience ray tracing? How many years will I have to wait to be able to purchase a rt card?
What ever happened customer loyalty?

You should be able to lodge a dispute with you bank / credit card co. Wont help ya get the card, but at least the money back.
Dont suppose you have a ring doorbell? (Great for evidence of non delivery)
I'm sure by the time any become remotely in stock, we'll all be talking about the new generation of cards and moving towards that.
issue is corona with transports, harbor delays and not enough cards produced.
