Have they gone already?
Going to pass at that price... as much as I need a new GPU the whole point on waiting for the Radeons was that they were supposed to be better bang-for-buck than their RTX alternatives. Now that we know the performance is less than promised and the prices they're going for are way over, I guess I'll just have to be patient and wait for things to get sensible again.

Anyone who orders a base 6800 for £600 is just as much of a problem as OCUK upping the prices. Ridiculous.

6800 is 529, XT is 599.
Gibbo, out of interest are Overclockers in the market for a new FX provider? Assuming a 10% markup on the dollar MSRP and including VAT it does not look like you are getting close to SPOT. I would hazard a guess at a dollar rate of 1.28:1.
I only ask because I am loosely involved with an FX provider that can offer SPOT+0.4% on GBP to EURO which compares to 1.1% for Coutts/RBS/NatWest and 0.7% for Xe.com. At current rates of 1.31:1 they could offer 1.304 vs the 1.28 I have guestimated.
Anyway, food for thought.

Another retailer yesterday had some up for £529.99
That is very reasonable. Too bad no retailer is following suit.
On the stock drops Discord they're all discussing this, looks like someone 'leaked'. There's about 35,000 total on that server, maybe some nutters on there snagged them.
Well, they started off discussing, now they're all dunking on Overclockers for the pricing
I honestly thought we loyal forum members would have a crack at buying one today. Been here since the original forums (older members will remember the switch)
Never known anything like these last 2 gpu launches. I bought my last card (vega 56 fe flashed with 64 bios) from here and the one before that, and was hoping for a 6800 to maybe flash bios also.
Crazy days

They don't care about loyalty - just scalping as much money as they can.
