Simple yes we will be selling, or no we won't won't be, will not breach the NDA.

If this is under NDA, then say so @Gibbo .

You haven't seen the NDA so you can't know that

Many NDAs forbid you to even reveal the existence of said NDA

Hi there

Launch is at 2PM today, you won't be able to buy anything from OcUK at 2PM, you will just be able to browse MBA design product.

We will make product available to order when we see fit, most likely later this week or next week and as usual I shall give a heads up on the OcUK forum in the GPU section a couple of minute before going live, we have around 100 and we expect them to sell out within around 30s even with doing an under the radar style launch.

We will not be taking back orders, if we do over sell when we make them available, the over sold orders will be cancelled and refunded, this is not because any more are coming but simply because we are unwilling to take back orders any more.

Honestly reading around the chances of getting a 6900XT are as high as winning the lottery jackpot unfortunately.
Starting to think Lisa Sue was so over hyped at cuckolding Jensen she got carried away in her own marketing hype, AMD snatching defeat from the jaws of victory!

In other news my 3090 was worth the extra £400 to actually be able to use it for the next 6 months while people wait in line for a cheaper card that you can have in perhaps April 2021 if your lucky, I don't even care if the 6900XT ends up being faster than the 3090 at this point, 10% of zero is still zero and zero is the amount of performance you get out of a card you cant buy.

Overall I think taking the stock issues into account, the 3080 and 3090 are the best GPUs on the market currently as you CAN actually buy one with regular drops from NVIDIA for FE. By the time AMD gets their act together for 6800XT and 6900XT once they are done with the console allocations and NVIDIA's 3080 Ti stock normalises, we would be staring at a March/April/May time frame by which time NVIDIA will be refreshing the whole Ampere on 7nm TSMC with their Super refresh of the 3080 in September AND Hopper would be a year away.

Yep this is no longer about whether Nvidia or AMD who has the best product, it is about who can get their product into the hands of the consumer the fastest. Let's be honest once somebody had installed a card in there machine and gaming and doing everything they want it to do, they are unlikely to take it back out go through the hassle of selling is 2nd hand and then switch to the other team!!

FE 3090's you can buy, but the 3080's haven't been in stock for weeks now.

Thanks Gibbo, appreciate you taking the time to clarify.

So NDA to say you don't talk about NDA . You are talking jibberish.

6800xt & 6800 was under no such NDA and gibbo made a post saying they will start to sell from 2pm in limited numbers on the day.

It's a simple question will ocuk be selling 6900xt today from 2pm.

Our retail outlet has been closed since February and will not re-open until Covid-19 is gone, we are taking no chances, so no retail store and no external visitors are not welcome presently until Covid is gone and the population has a vaccine.

This is how all future launches shall be until supply improves ten fold or the demand drops substancially.
