Whats annoying me is they didn't even address the stock issues. Putting a graphic up of the 6800 series with "Available now" is taking the ****.

Almost 2 months and I think this has been the first week I've seen stock come in. Corporations don't care as long as people still buy.

Dunno what people are complaining about ive had a 3080 Ref, 3080 Aorus Master and 2 x Sapphire Nitro+... Cards are out there if your willing to actually bother really trying to get one.

Hilariously i bought a ref 3080 for £650, traded it for a 3080 Aorus Master, bought a 6800XT Sapphire Nitro+ IC SE for £830 and sold the 3080 Aorus for £1150, so basically my 6800XT cost me like £330 or something.

There are people out there willing to pay silly money for these things

Frank, is that you?

I bothered as far as joining a couple Discord groups. App on my phone and everything.

Beyond that - like running bots on my own PC, etc - I'm not interested in making that level of effort just to be able to buy something.

Success on Discord has been none so far. By the time I've even clicked the link the stock is gone.

I don't see how you can compete with that beyond automating the buying process itself. I can't be arsed going that far.

In summary, and they dragged in Lewis Hamilton and his dog.

Waffle directed mainly at investors, with some laptop CPUs thrown in for consumer plebs like us. Oh and a mention of 6800 series being 'available now', which was the comedy highlight.

can't wait till we get live audiences cause they if they pulled "available now" stunt the audience would have laughed or booed them off the stage
