Possibly more stock incoming. Who knows...
I've noticed monitoring bots already have direct links to 6900XT and are ready to snipe ALL of the stock that shows up on AMD website, instantly. Ergo, good luck, it'll likely all be gone in a minute or less... Unless AMD changes the link beforehand.

I'm not planning on buying until the new year, so fingers crossed.
It's not going to let up in Jan for either company unless the products are airfreighted. Our ports are currently in meltdown and Jan is likely going to be worse.
To be honest, until websites find a way of preventing bots (scalpers) from mass purchasing - I don't see this changing any time soon.
If the scalpers continue to get stock, people will be more prepared to just spend the extra money and buy it, unfortunately. The profit for some groups has been insane.

my m1 case arrived in the country today was pretty quick coming from overseas, so dont see the ports as the hold up!

Did you get a card yesterday on the drop?
Would you take a vanilla 6800 non XT over the 6800XT?
Vanilla 6800 can do 4K at >60fps
Apparently can also be overclocked a lot more than the XT

nope they all gone within 1min. seems other eu countries had more luck and the US, not seen anyone from the uk get one on any of the forums. I want a 6800xt so wondering what OCUK have in stock this week, do they have XT cards too?

Anything against the 6800 non xt? not too far apart at 1440p /4K
Bots are a problem for sure, but in this case it's over all a very small stock, which makes it close to impossible to buy anything. Bots or not.
That's great your particular shipment was unaffected, but the ports are in a meltdown, and it is effecting deliveries. Some carriers are talking about skipping Felixstowe entirely in Jan. Freight rates to europe and the UK from China have gone up 300% in some cases.
There is a very good chance that unless its airfreighted, Jan is going to be very bad for any supplies.

noting at all, ive got a 3070 fe already and the new card is for my 5900x build so something more powerfull
Very true - a group in the UK reported they were able to gain PS5 stock of approx. 3500 units. Even if they were to sell all of those at a slightly inflated price, they're still earning millions.
As stock continues to drip in and demand will always remain high since they're only being slowly produced, groups will still target and continue to make profit. It's a no brainer for them really, especially leading up to Christmas and even after that, AMD and NVIDIA are looking at a new bunch of cards for Spring. It's going to be chaos.

Ok I guess the 6800 is 10-15% better than 3070 but I guess you want 15-25% better in your 2nd rig

can OCUK staff confirm if they have 6800xt in the next few days or are they just 6800 models?
Scalpers can die in a fire as far as I'm concerned, and they most certainly won't be getting my money, I can tell you that much. I can and will wait for retailers to get their **** together.

Not retailers its Nvidia and AMD that need to get their **** together!!
I'm with you on that one, will never buy anything on Ebay over the odds, happy to wait and find it midly amusing that people have bots just to inflate prices and cause them to remove and readd the item.
