I know this seems like a particularly stupid question, but are the new Radeon 6000 series GPUs gonna launch on OCUK this week or will it be just from the AMD site? I haven't seen anything posted about the release of these new cards and am hoping to pick one up the minute they are released.

(sorry if this thread is stupid, will be my first time buying a card on release day)
 
Reckon it'll be like a 12AM drop for us? It's mad stressful worried I won't be able to pick the card up. Missed out big time on the new Nvidia GPUs
 
I'm hoping AMD are preventing websites from posting product pages early to help combat bots.

The longer sites like OCUK have the product page up and ready the more bots will be ready for launch day.

Issue tho, the OCUK search and product lists (like PC Components -> Graphics Cards -> AMD) do not update very fast when new product pages go online, you may need to find the direct link for somewhere else (probably this forum)

I imagine @Gibbo will drop a sticky thread when they go live or just before. We know they go live at 2pm so keep the forum checked in the hour leading up to it

The amount of radio silence? Wouldn't be a stretch to imagine AMD have forced all retailers sign up to this tactic and I think its a great idea to be honest launch the pages at launch, means the bots got no chance to prepare. It might be a bit of a cluster fk, but you have a fair chance human vs human.

I have done my homework there is a public free bot out there to use now written by a guy who said basically if you cant beat them join them and wants it fair for all.
Before you inbox me for the link, go use your one line of text in Google instead!

I would love too however realised it does not cover ... this website and as such may break forum TOS honestly don't know so I would ask my mate Hari Nagarajan.
 
I've also been wondering about the 6800xt they're not yet listed anywhere, and they're supposed to release in two days...

@Gibbo

We need some wisdom from you :3

Who knows maybe OC won't even do pre-orders on the AMD card, given the hassle they are getting on the RTX cards. Or at least I hope they limit the number of pre-orders if cards are in short supply.

It costs them nothing to hold your money without providing the product. They have a small fortune of pre-order money sitting with them, and can't even be asked to provide consistent updates.
