I feel the meaning of the word "only" has been much diluted

I'm sure they'll sell though, madness.

Well thanks AMD, nice big stock drop of all cards and processors in the EU but nothing in GB.
If you use a VPN they are in stock but you could end up with a vat and customs bill.

Thanks Brexit

And then, proving the universe has a sense of humour, manufacturer has a gone in 60 nanoseconds drop at RRP for both 6800 and 6800 XT. Let me remind us all what those are:

6800: £529

6800 XT: £599

 

[SonicSW20]

They're probably on the way, but anything coming from overseas will take longer to get here now.

 

[Odin]

One thing I am not sure on anymore. If 6800xt cards were being held to let the warehouse catch up. Why still sell everything else?

Yeah got the alert for that and gone instantly.

 

[Minstadave]

Nice price if anyone got one.

 

[FTP-FPS-Duck]

I think I've finally had that epiphany, I have finally come to terms with it. Me and this 3070FE are going to be best friends forever, up until I am playing games on ultra-low.

 

[Gerard]

Nice price if anyone got one.

Be amazed if anyone did, there must have been 2 or 3 cards with how quick they went out of stock.

 

[welshrat]

Well I just bought a 6800 Gaming Trio MSI for 799, well over the odds but I can currently sell my vega 56 for £300 so all in all not so bad, arrives tomorrow

It's a farce, just so they can say they delivered on their promise to "keep making them".

Yeah, like 5 cards for the whole UK.

I checked the instant i got the notification, the page said "buy now" for an instant before going to out of stock. Total joke.

Funny that i was talking about their lack of stock drops last night, i suppose in their minds 2 or 3 cards counts...

That was the AMD Brexit payback. The card showed instock for an instant until the webpage update to GB, As the alerts kept coming through I fired up an Ireland VPN and all three cards + most of the CPU's were available.

Set the VPN off, clicked the direct link again and it once again showed stock for a brief second as GB loaded.

Back to Ireland VPN, 2 of 3 cards in stock with 2 CPU.

Did anyone actually see these is stock in UK, from what I can see they were EU only, probably due to the complexity of UK insisting VAT is paid in the UK which makes distribution complex.

That's the slight mitigating factor, a 1080 Ti like mine now for for £400 second hand, up £150 from 4 months ago, would go some way to covering the additional outlay if I were hunting for a card.
