Looks excellent
Videocardz had an article up today.

Do you judge truth by the way of number of rumours?
I don't think you can discount them all at this late stage.
Statistically you prolly are correct.
I live in hope.
Weve seen rumors of poor stock, but where are they coming from?
Ive seen rumors AMD has given preference to their tier1 partners (Sapphire, Powercolor, XFX and Asrock)
Maybe thats true so naybe its Msi, Asus and Gigabyte whining because their chickens finally came home to roost?
No one knows for sure, im after a custom partner card anyhow so im already waiting the extra week
finland though? Not sure how representative that is of the UK. Take a look at their 5700 XT prices compared to rainforest (ignore ocuk, no idea what’s going with their pricing these days)

In no rush for a new GPU atm, can wait until supply/availability settles down. 5700xt still going strong.
Don't know TBH but it does give the UK equivalent with VAT.
I'll check their 5700XT prices like you said, never thought to do that in all honesty.
Seen allot of rumors here that start with a clickbait title but that gets left out the fact, it spreads it becomes a train its fact before you know it.
I was reading one such click bait thread on one of the popular tech sites it was only right at the end in short mention the whole "No 6000 GPU's in stock anywhere for launch" had "In Australia" was mentioned.......
Are there going to be a huge boat load of people disappointed on Wednesday? Yes! IS that because its a paper launch? No we just have a bunch of scalpers, bots, sad nvidia fanboys who are finally coming out the closet, lockdown Phase 2, its going to be a cluster fk just not really much AMD can do.

I did manage to get a 5950xt. I wasn't particularly quick on the f5.
Perhaps the situation is different location wise.
One etailer started to take orders for nitro+ cards yesterday, and prices did go up with time.
This prompted me to think that they wanted to take the monies out before launch.
I'm optimistically thinking, that they didi that because they know now is the time to scalp.
Maybe wrong, though.

One retailer who I never heard of who isnt supposed to be showing cards yet breaking NDA, yer the sky is falling, brb getting tinfoil hat.
ALl that proves is that site plans to scalp the hell outta the cards and doesn't care about AMD NDA, which begs the question will they even get stock now? Or ever again?
Honestly you guys need to go take a valium or something, so much click bait around here suddenly is fact before the matter.
If the rumors about the low stock are true, that is the reason why NVIDIA wasn't bothered launching Ampere in that state. They knew AMD would be facing the same issues, so no. While the 6800 XT beating 3090 seems shocking, at the end of the day, there is still no availability so its just meaningless numbers we can't enjoy anyway. Best get the 3080 or 6800 XT, whichever is available first.
Even with consoles though, if there's not enough stock, retailers stay at MSRP.
It's so frustrating.
Because PC master race just keep throwing money at it because it's a luxury item not a common console.
It's speculative discussion, don't be getting so hot and bothered about it and calm down dear.
