AMD states that 6800XT will not be a paper launch- THEY LIED

Let's be honest, 2020 is a write off for pretty much everything bar profiteering off the desperate.
They should have their own class system.

You actually made a thread to cry? Who actually thought that there would be plenty of AMD cards at launch was joking to them self and others. Now grab a snickers and calm down.
This isn't me crying, I read the reviews thought "meh" and moved on. This is more about the fact that as per the link I posted, AMD Hank Azor implied that 6800XT would not be a paper launch. Clearly it very much is, ergo AMD lied.
How about you jam that snickers up yer hole and answer the actual points being made.

Would it be safe to assume you weren't able to get a 6800/6800 XT?
It would be safe to say I didn't want one after reading the reviews showing how meh it was overall. I am far more disappointed that AMD have now reduced themselves to Nvidia's level with outright lying about performance and availability.

Duly noted.
I will now be looking for a 3080 at close to MSRP to replace my existing 2080. Don't get me wrong 6800XT it is a decent card but nowhere near where AMD said it would be in winning more than losing compared to a 3080. in fact the reviews I trust most show it around 5% -10% slower overall. In some games it is 30% slower than a 3080 such as FS2020 for example.

Good luck with your next purchase.
MSRP
Indeed, it might take a while but both GPUs will be closer to MSRP and by then it will be possible to make a more informed decision.
Sorry you asked a question in your OP? It looked more like whinging post tbh. I see them a lot since the Nvidia launch. I think you must have been the only one who actually thought AMD would have a great launch with abundance of cards. Anyways i'll take my snickers back. You don't deserve it

He wasn't the only one was at least 2-3 other posters in the Navi 23 thread convinced AMD would have 1000s of cards and hugely undercut nVidia - it just ain't the world we live in right now.
By hiring Samsung, its as if Nvidia have Arrizabalaga in goal and Maguire in defense. But it doesn't matter because AMD's warehouse is like an empty pacman level. No wafers.
Yea, why people actually think AMD would for some reason have more cards availible than Nvidia is beyond me. But making a thread to have a big ol whinge about it is next level
I really hope AMD see this thread and take note
It's like beleiving what you see in the news or taking a MP's word when they make a promise. You just don't...
New chip, Covid, Consoles, memory shortages. Lots of obvious reasons why cards will be in short supply.

Might I suggest you check out the Coretek review on the 6800xt, he tested with a 5900x I believe and "smart access memory" enabled, bit of an eye opener that one, especially his overall choice of best card. Just don't fall asleep while listening to it
