The thread which sometimes talks about RDNA2

Two fairly stupid questions, what does AIB mean in this context and do we know when these cards will be available from overclockers? Has a date been confirmed?

Those leaks will have VAT put on top so will be higher than those numbers.

AIB are aftermerket cards with custom coolers. They'll be available in 8 days.

• SAPPHIRE Radeon RX 6800 XT NITRO+ OC : £635 - this would be my card of choice. I've no need for RGB or USB C.

But to be perfectly honest, I'd be happy with a reference design too.

OK, so the likes of ASUS Radeon RX 6800 XT TUF GAMING OC.

Considering the Asus Strix 2080ti was £1,250+ all those cards seem cheap as chips by comparison.

Wasn't that Nvidia's plan all along? "look at the 3080 how cheap ehh?? Ahh shucks we cant get them out due to demand, so here is the 3080Ti in January but as requested more 20gb memory but ohh thats gonna cost you, £1200 again" In steps that dude from BP on the South park meme "Were Sorry".

providing that's got a custom cooler then yes, it shouldn't be tomorrow. As far as we're aware, its the reference design going on sale tomorrow (equivelent of the nvidia FE).

All the hype around this....I just nabbed a 3070fe as there was a stock drop. Couldn’t resist.

I seen it, then the 3090, was sweating for the 3080 (as wouldnt resist that) but no...

I think thats a good deal as the 6800 would be costing a fair bit more than the 3070 FE even though it performs better, so its great value in comparison

 

[Deleted member 66701]

are all the reference cards coming out tomrrow the same price if they look and perform the same?

I doubt it for various reasons (not least as warranty varies between brands).

Think you'll pay an additional premium depending on the branding...

Not an apple fan has mentioned that case king won't have any stock of the reference design for the 6800 and 6800xt. Not sure if that is simply the NDA or they won't actually have any in stock.

 

[Freegrazer]

Is there an ASUS Radeon RX 6800 XT ROG STRIX non liquid cooled version, or is the XT only available as LC or TUF

Maybe they have kindly donated all their stock to OCUK?
