AMD 6800 & 6800 XT MBA LAUNCH AT 2PM TODAY - EXTREMELY LIMITED STOCK!
- Thread starter Gibbo
- Start date
None of the orders have shipped yet.
Remember guys, our warehouse holds 10,000+ products, there was already 1000+ general orders to ship out today, your orders will ship when they have shipped the orders before yours, that means those who got one will get shipment notifications later this afternoon.
Please be patient and just think for a moment, the company does not sell that one single graphics card, we sell 1000's of items and already had 1000+ orders to ship out.
However our warehouse is priortising all GPU inbound and outbound deliveries at the moment, so those who got one the order should ship later today and those who did not will get one next week or can change to a Powercolor by posting in CS forum but again CS are very busy as can be expected so changing an order might take a while.

It's like they don't understand how this all works, it's not exactly rocket science
it's impatience.

As far as I am concerned an RRP 6800XT may as well not have existed as you would need to be extremely lucky to actually get one. That is why I went for a 6800 in the first place as there was a much greater chance of getting one.
I am pretty sure going forward you won't find a 6800XT for the reference model RRP. You will be paying £700 for one of the AIB's if you want one and you may be waiting months to actually find one.

No - But i would happily not take a refund and get a card instead. That is just me though. I battled for one yesterday and I would rather pay what I did and not have to go through that again next week.
I do not see that as an excuse, the price was yesterday the same. So no price increase here. The problem is not that we are niche, the problem is the scalpers who found a new market they can put under pressure and of course people who are willing to buy from them.
This year is an extraordinary one. With all the people who WFH the increase of hardware purchases are visible. Look at power supplies, look at the CPUs, the Harddisks, the RAM, or even better Motherboards most of them are mostly out of stock. I would have been happy when the stock would have been higher, yes I would because I was on the market for 2 GPUs because of SAM AMD since I ordered 2 5900s at launch day as well, and still waiting for them.
Would I be happy if they would be easily available, yes but they aren`t? The branch has atm a lot of issues which came all at once, High demand due to WFH which lead people to upgrade Hardware at home which they normally
would have waited with one for a couple of months. And one top the launches of hardware which is sought after by enthusiasts and of course opportunist like Scalpers are

Ta. I thought I had managed to order an XT yesterday - only to have my hopes dashed about three hours later.That shall be done later today.
AMD have stated that they are making more reference cards into early 2021, whether they come to the UK is another matter. So there is still hope.
At least Aadil Farood left their name and address for all to see !
Might be Farooq - not quite clear, unlike the address which is.

I sent AMD an E-mail today asking about this. I'm unlikely to get a response anytime soon.
Do you have a source for this?

Does that mean that I may still get one? I appreciate you guys are busy. I did go for the Sapphire 6800XT but I am now thinking that the 19 is for the standard 6800?
Excuse me? RX 6800 non XT (MSI) £474.99 EX VAT > WITH VAT £582 (With delivery) < Bolton Rival.
£18 less than OCUK.

Talking standard 6800's were being told no more XT MBA cards are coming and hence why all orders are being refunded.
