I just chalk it down to 2020, nothing is normal and the crazy does happen. What a year. I think if you travelled back to beginning of 2019 and told me what 2020 was going to be like I would think you were nuts.

2020 will certainly be remembered and not very fondly. If anyone ever wants to replicate the feeling of 2020, stick your head in the toilet and flush and do this several times a day for a year.
I'm not surprised if some of the very limited stock goes missing along the way. Perhaps an underpaid worker who gets a rare chance to lighten an otherwise horrible existence. I mean the 3080/3090 sells for serious money 2nd hand.
But they shouldn't continue to take pre orders at massively inflated prices if they have no idea on stock availability imo.
No. People shouldn’t preorder for massively inflated prices with no idea of stock availability. But they do so it’s very hard to feel sorry for them.
I hate the business practices but you can’t really blame OcUK because people sometimes are just dumb.
Precisely. Just don't order from here. There are plenty of other (and better) places.
lol seriously? that's overkill for what you need.

Yeah. My 750w Seasonic will be more than enough. I also have a wall meter so know exactly what my rig draws before the PSU. With a selectively tuned Vega56 (which on the box states I need a '750w or greater' PSU) my total rig doesnt draw more than 350w.
I believe they have to cover themselves against people that have the worst PSU in history in case it blows up.

Really?
The original post was about needing 850w minimum to run a 6800 card!
What am I missing?
My psu is 850w only

And that's on a rig with how many hdd attached and case fans?
I was told that my psu is overkill and plenty for a 6900XT to slap on my Threadripper based setup with almost 10 hdds attached and loads of case fans?
What am I missing?
It's not overkill in your case - based on the data for you, the calculator advises:

Still doesn't make what OcUk does is right.
If the people are dumb then OcUK shouldn't take advantage of it eh? They're taking advantage of some people's desperation.
Dumb and seemingly made of money. Still have no idea how a significant proportion of the OCUK population can afford to drop £1k on a video card.

I prefer the look of the reference cards personally.
Though I appreciate there is more to AIB cards than aesthetics
