So just wait until the day the price drops to £530? No need to be bitter, let others who want to pay more get it now and wait for when it's at the price you value it at.
Most of the people in the discord are looking to make money. At that price they won't so only someone that is sick of the mind games will take the hit and buy.10 minutes live, website is loading fine, people know about it (the Discord anyway), 10+ in stock

The rumour from everyone and what I have heard from one source is those £520 & £599 prices wont happen again and AIB's will be closer to what OcUK is charging now for a reference board design.
It's not the price a user values it at.
It's the price AMD has valued it at lol, and this isn't it.
i menat the 6800xt, il get a waterblock orderedIn
Yes and it will run hot with temepratures over 80c, it is a dual slot card in compare to 2.5 slot 6800 XT.

Some people seem very upset at OCUK here. Let's remember, they are a business, they can charge what they deem fit. If you don't want to pay the price, then you don't have to buy it and you can shop elsewhere.
Let's remember some of the added benefits you have buying with OCUK. The 14 day no quibble return is still one of the best benefits for me vs some competitors.
It's highly likely they will still sell and those that buy will be happy with their purchase.

It's interesting that earlier Gibbo said that they were making under 15% margin on each card at £680
If you remove margin from the 6800xt OCUK price (please correct my bad maths), the cost price is ~£580.
Who is making money on these cards at MSRP? There isn't the volume to support the retailers properly at MSRP
OCUK takes a decision to make a big markup in absolute terms which is unpalatable but they also need to cover the resourcing costs of dealing with this fiasco.
Consumers can't get the cards anyway
I don't entirely understand who actually is making money on the cards because I don't believe they cost £570 to make and distribute.
It all stinks to me.
