The thread which sometimes talks about RDNA2

Actually I have seen them in stock but you have to buy a 5800x and a whole PC too to get a 6800xt !! Darn system builders !

it's what my brother ended up doign to get a 5950 and 3080.

But he has more money than sense

I'm done wasting my time, good luck to any of you, may as well wait for my 3080

 

[humbug]

Is it just me or is the forum slowing? new stock in?

Your right. It is slowing. I keep getting guru meditation and incorrectly loaded webpage.

FFS.....

Are AIB 3080s cheaper though or do you mean versus a 3080 FE that is also near-impossible to buy?

An ASUS TUF 3080 pre-order is £675 (converted from local currency) vs ASUS TUF 6800XT at £740 where I live.

Something else nice looking you cant buy.

I was sorely tempted to do the same as I wanted to do a full upgrade in end I went for a bundle and a new case/PSU plus kept my old card.

How is it possible to score an own goal when standing in front of an open net. :shakeshead:

Those prices are ludicrous to boot.

Quick glance at AIB card reviews. They look underwhelming compared to stock 6800XT. Considering how much bigger the coolers are, you get maybe 2% performance at best
AMD really did a good job on reference card and cooler

Hilarious seeing all sites working fine because there is absolutely no stock. Significantly worse than Nvidia unless they can somehow consistently land large quantities of stock over the coming weeks.

So paper launch then?

*sniggers*

 

[Satchfanuk]

Yup... tho don't speak it too loud some people here might read too much into my references

One more, just to lighten the mood a little.

Pfft, one is used to wind the other, everyone knows that, it's not an age thing... is it?

 

[Mesai]

*sniggers*

I think the new classification of "vapor launch" is more appropriate. They should have made this a review launch day but it's probably some BS to satisfy investors.

On the plus side, seeing the AIB reviews now, given the inflated pricing, the RTX 3080 is probably the better card to get and stock has been ramping up.

Lol.

Which one you buying?

 

[uscool]

dont see any instock and way over priced anyway

 

[gpuerrilla]

Anyones snag a good one then? I was interested in the prices of the Sapphire Nitro but when I pestered their guy on twitter he just left open teases of 'wait and see' 'be patient' memes.

 

[Bazippy]

I haven't even seen one on any site yet let alone buy one

When you're monitoring a stock checker and you notice 12000 other people doing the same, you realise you wont be upgrading this year

3080Ti it is in Jan then.
