I think people have seen through the false scarcity nonsense now.

Will Overclockers be offering 7900XTX pre orders?

this person gets it.
Just to add to what the other poster said, the reason for the NDA is so that shops can have stocks on shelves for launch. They don’t want shops trying to leak or create their own reviews, or selling stuff early. So it will be part of the sales contract.
What favours would I need to perform to ensure one for launch day?
Retailers know there is more hype around this card than the £1300 4070 they currently have gathering dust on their shelves so it makes sense to create a bit of FOMO around the 7900XTX try and drive the price of it up so customers wanting next gen are denied a cheaper option and may also push a few onto the 4070.

The rumours always seem wrong on this (promising good supply and then it turns out to be poor).Was hoping the supply would be decent.

Proves my point. They make APU instead of GPU (discrete).
That's very interesting. I had no idea that shops were bound by a NDA.
Same, hoping to have the same luck as I did with the 5800x3d
1400hrs GMT someone said. Is that right? Something to do with Stateside waking up?
its been said by a few but nothing solid, from what they said of past launches 2pm uk time seems to be when they should drop, but we'll know a few days before so we can prepare
As far as i recall that only ever happened with Vega, as the YouTube brigade (jay\ linus \ paul etc) were out moaning about it in a combined video after the fact.
Technically nvidia or amd make bugger all in terms of the actual gpu, they design it, tsmc, samsung etc do the actual making.

Compared to the 6000 series launch, what do think the inventory levels will be like compared to 2020, likely to be less or just a bit more than last time?
If I remember the 6000 series launch correctly it was essentially a bunch of reference designs (also from 3rd parties) initially before the 3rd party designed cards followed. The reference designs never really went back in stock at all from any 3rd parties and it was only AMD themselves after that initial launch. I imagine reference designs will be limited again in that regard however at least we know custom versions SHOULD be coming on launch day this time.

If they get to 4080 prices then they won't sell as simple as that, people will just buy 4080s so AMD will end up sinking their ship and helping Nvidia sell their already overpriced 4080s even at FE prices they are way over priced. So wish them luck selling them then and only the diehard AMD fans will buy them on release and batches that end up at Nvidia pricing and after that they will sit on shelves as is happening with 40 series at the current pricing.
Exactly it's all artificial stock limiting to make the prices go up after the release, people need to wake up to the fake msrps game and how after the day of release the few at msrp never seen till people stop buying and then come back down to msrp or less. They are basically playing all the FOMO crowd every release now.
If you're going from London, you'll pass OcUK before getting to Bolton. Why not stop there?
