it actually let you place the order for delivery to the UK?

Yes. Though tbh I used a link sent through a Discord channel. I just guessed it's probably the same link.

Time to retire the trusty old Vega 64. Soon to appear on the MM...

This is the link that was posted on Partalert, about 20 minutes ago, worked straight away with email and Cc confirmation. Before I had the same errors as everyone else. Who knows if it will ship. Crazy times.

What did you go for? I bought the 6800xt via paypal at 4:00. Got the paypal receipt but no AMD email yet

Now showing out of stock

Martini1991 · 8 Dec 2020 at 16:24

Honestly this whole thing is a joke

Website seems fine now, I had added items to my basket earlier; they are still in there but when trying to check out I get the address error.

Probably wasn't much stock at all.
I had been trying to buy for ages and just couldn't get through in the end

For those who failed, like me (again) to get a 6800XT...

According to MLID the 6700XT is going to be a damp squib. About 10% faster than a 5700XT for £400+.

Apparently AMD can't get near 3060Ti perf at that price, and aren't prepared to lower their prices to compete (premium, y'all).

So basically it's 6800XT or bust, from AMD at least. The other cards aren't going to be competitive.

And the lower mid-range cards are going to plain suck.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it was true.

Checkout not working, never mind

What a farce, had a 6800 in my basket for ages, but getting the same shipping address error as everyone else >_<

Yeah had it for about 20 minutes in a car park trying to buy it now I'm cold and disappointed

Mike 702 · 8 Dec 2020 at 16:31

Did anyone manage to anything shipped to the UK?

There was a stock drop at AMD.com.

I managed to add a 6800XT to the cart and then got loads of errors on the payment section. Now it's out of stock again.

Just lol.

Congrats to all the bots and scalpers who bought one, or twenty.

I had a 5600x in cart and had payment up and then went out and added a 6800xt and couldn't get back in.

I got the 6800xt, paid via credit card, amd email straight away, so fingers crossed.

FoxEye · 8 Dec 2020 at 16:42

Oh well, just seen that my Seasonic PSU has slipped to late Jan/early Feb.

Think I'll probably cancel that order.

Not much point trying to build a whole new PC right now with almost nothing in stock.

Probably try again in March or whatever.

Blackjack Davy · 8 Dec 2020 at 16:43

6x00's all appear to be out of stock now, not sure if they sold out instantly and the site took a while to catch up or they were only going through to buyers in the US or somewhere else, no-one in the EU managed to get their hands on one apparently

According to some people on the hardocp forum they were also getting errors with addresses not being recognised, seemingly the only "zip code" it would accept was Indiana so it looks like someone in charge of the website made a massive ballsup that affected a ton of orders.

Could these launches get any more farcical?

I'm sure they could find a way. So far they've managed to get progressively worse over time.

There where promo links that worked / allowed shipping (only found them when all the cards went out of stock), really REALLY annoying

As others, sat there for 20 minutes in the car. All went fine until the Confirmation page and the Place Order button doesn't do anything on the iPhone, totally unclickable. Thought they may just be sold out so tried other products (processor etc) and just the same, button just doesn't click. Guess I will just have to wait until next year some time as my chances of nabbing anything on OCUK is extremely small due to stock levels.
