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

[deuse]

My apologies, I miss-read, but I did edit really quickly.

I hope you logged the IP of the bots that brought OCUK to a stand still(if you can).

 

[ICDP]

So has AMD made any statements on the fact there was zero 6800 or 6800XT AIB stock in the universe?

 

[fizzelopeguss]

They need competition, both companies can at this point do whatever they like, and consumers have few if any options. It's a recipe for disaster, and this is what we are now seeing.

I was thinking the same when benchmarks and pricing for these were first shown. Both vendors have produced cards that slot in almost perfectly between each others SKU's. There's seemingly no actual competition.

The MSRP's being a lie is just the turd on top.

 

[atomixers]

Well it was at least easier for us not having to F5 to see what was available.

Decent comms from OCUK and a pretty poor showing all round from AMD, practically gifting the market to NV with that insane price increase on the AIB’s

They're really not gifting the market to anyone seeing as nvidia stock seems to be just as non existent.

 

[ICDP]

Yeah, people need to realise that even if AMD messed up it's not like you can simply say "oh well I'll just get an RTX 3080".

 

[AmokBSN]

The MRSP's are insane for some cards. Almost like some are banking in on the shortage.

 

[z10m]

I do feel for those who really tried to get one of those cards. I’ve been in the same situation as I’ve sold my 1080ti and was running RX 570 for a few weeks before I finally managed to get my 3080.
At least with Nvidia there were slim chances of getting one if you were very quick.

 

[Zaguer]

I really wish I could say "oh well I'll just get an RTX 3080" but right now you can get nothing, either AMD or Nvidia

 

[HEADRAT]

Ah yes another entertaining launch by AMD...

They really are snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

6800 AIB cards are geting a bit too close to 3080,6800xt prices, have to be a loon to buy a 6800 partner card, even though theres no stock of any of them

 

[Solz]

Well what can I say missed out on the 3080fe, and AIB and the 5900x CPU's, the 6800xt due to scalpers, and now the AIB spamming F5 to get vapourware, but this was worse than all it was the bigest toilet paper launch!! do I care no I have given up I ll get them when there in stock next year probably in March or April !! (will get the 3080)

They've also just been party to the launch of the next gen consoles and the Zen3 CPUs - which compete for manufacturing space with the GPUs. Demand for all is high - and there's only so much space at TSMC.

 

[Cjmart66]

Well done AMD. Better than Nvidia.

 

[TheBloke]

So prices on OcUK for 6800XT AIB are ranging from £680 to £750. Not as bad as it could have been I guess. The cheaper cards being £80 more than the reference MSRP, and the same price that OcUK sold the reference cards last week.

Given I saw the Sapphire Radeon 6800XT NITRO+ for £810 on a site earlier today, and OcUK have it at £750, this doesn't seem too bad.

 

[TheMoeBlob]

They should have just sorted the marketing side of things out. Drop the NDA earlier and stop trying to hide. Be open about your supply issues and your consumers will understand.

Ultimately places like OCUK have placed their orders for stock already, they are now out of pocket waiting for stock to arrive with no time frame for it arriving, AMD are hurting their partners more than anyone else. Screw AMD's image, what about the knock on effect financially for many people that work for their official resellers.

 

[Ki-Tan]

Overcloerks should drop their instantly marked up prices of the 3090 and match the other sites. Scan was selling them at £1400 to £1500 for a 3090 Zotac Trinity. Even ****** is cheaper than OC.

 

[rolypolyman]

Well I have to be honest and say the prices don't come as a shock anymore, I was hoping to get the 6800 red devil, not at that price though or any of the other cards. Its plain to me that my only hope for a new card at a reasonable price is: 1. Not purchase from here.
2. a 3080FE at £649.

 

[z10m]

Maybe going with Samsung’s 8nm process was a smart move by Nvidia after all..?

 

[KungFuSpaghetti]

@Tinek is 100% correct. All of the 3080 cards which hit MSRP at launch were based on back end manufacturer, limited quantity, price support. We oversold on every one of these, yet we honoured the price despite not having enough support to cover it.

That's nice the prices were honoured, but again, doesn't explain the £120 jump in price, unless that's to cover off the selling at the cheaper price. Sounds like Nvidia shafted you, as have AMD, but that shafting has then been passed on to your customers though hyper inflation on prices. Basically added VAT twice...
