That's terrible, by far the worst launch initial shipment of a a few hundred units UK wide the a month until the AIB cards come on. With nothing to fill the gap

Too many emotions, too little actually reading on my part then - 6800XT (PC), in my case.
Yeah I have no idea where people got their links from, I was trying site searches etc. to no avail.
Eventually got a couple from a Discord server, it was too late by then
pro gamer buying skill. i managed to get a 5900X on day 1 as well
completely failed to get 3080 or 3090 on day one though.they werent all from ocuk.
none of the miners will be optimised and there wont be any bios mods yet, so thats not surprising. I'm probably going to be keeping them 18-24 months anyway, so i'm sue theyll be going along nicely by then.
With respect though they are a different brand. Where as you are selling the exact same product.

Confirmation email at 14:37 yet recieved my rejection email now.
Ordered the 6800XT
What a *********** yet again however reading some of these posts, clearly it hasn't been a first come first serve basis at all.

not unless your order was for a non-xt!

What the flip is happening here Scott? No AIB stock next week. Hardly any stock today. Reference design canned only a few hours after launch. It's absolutely ridiculous! What are AMD playing at?!
This is very poor taste considering that all of us (your customers) have been trying our hardest to buy these products from you today.
I wish the price was printed on the on the outside of the box, that would stop all this in its tracks. In fact that exactly why McVities prints the retail price on the outside of the box, to stop their loyal Jaffa Cake customers getting fleeced by the unscrupulous.
If it can be done for £1 box of cakes I’m damn sure it could be done for a £600+ GPU!
Pretty bad analogy really

makes no sense. These cards are exactly the same from top to bottom.
Did I see something about OCUK posting links on Twitter? Was this direct links to the actual product pages? If so why when us forum members had no idea where to look. So much for loyalty. Will be buying elsewhere from now on, thats just plain wrong, especially when you know how many people will be trying to access your site.
side note, will anyone actually want a 6800 non xt at the price of a 6800xt?
I don't know if I'll bother for a 6800, because its going to be overpriced and a lot slower than the 6800XT and the 3080... looking at the benchmarks it probably makes more sense to be patient and get a 3080 when the dust settles.
He won't get the item anyway he ordered too late

Analogy is flawed
It's getting a bit beyond a joke, I ordered the 3080 and still in a queue for that since launch day with my money taken, I ordered a 6800 xt without even knowing if it was any good because the reviews did not come out till launch, only to find my money was taken again to later have it cancelled with no refund, currently I can't afford a third card next week, its getting a bit silly now.
So far yes. But we haven't had a chance to purchase the AIB cards. So they still have a chance to redeem themselves
The NDA prevents us from launching early...we usually manage to launch on time but on this occasion the traffic spike actually crashed the server access portal that we use to make sure things so live on time, across all of the website mirrors
Well your statement is false since I ordered powercolor 6800xt at 14:31 and I got no card...

I’m amazed they let him post. Everything I ever see is patronising, arrogant, or both.

It's almost as if you had a similar thing happen a few weeks back on another GPU launch
No that's not true. There was link to 6800 lineup I had this page since 13:55 - I found I through the menu didn't need to check Twitter or Facebook for that. It was blank until around 14:25
