Appeared earlier via a stock alert, as usual you can't actually buy it so meh.

"Super rare 6800XT limit edition - out of stock everywhere in the universe" - £6800 - Grab a bargain
 
Just skip this year for buying gpu's, unless OC do another drop nearer RRP its just not worth it.

Or they simply dont want to anymore - Nvidia own uk shop simply directs you to uk based etailers.

Nvidia store in the us does the same by diverting to best buy, and before the "competitor" got the contract it was digital river so nvidia have never really maintained their own uk store. AMD on the other hand seem to have control of their own stores. Maybe they'd be better off by partnering with a uk retailer much like nvidia have done?

True - we know who Nv have partnered with for the FE cards, as they are still selling them. Maybe AMD want a slightly bigger piece of the pie - they are selling everything they make anyway, and the extra VAT part of crossing a border is a PITA.

Losing a prestigious market such as UK is surely very bad. PR wise, not money wise. I really like the look of that all black 6800 xt.

AMD use Digital River too, so I'd imagine it's a case of them not sorting their **** out.
