Will AMD 6*** GPUs be available to order on 28th October?

$ilent · 18 Oct 2020 at 12:38

Does anyone know or can anyone from OCUK confirm if the Gpus will be available to order on this date? i.e for next day dpd delivery?

Thanks (looking at a 6700XT most likely!)

No, that's the announcement. More likely to be a month afterwards.

Just like with Zen 3, ~1 month after announce.

Hopefully @Gibbo can mention inventory when embargo lifts..

since zen3 is Nov 5, I suspect later in november for Big Navis.

That would be my guess too - A similar delay after announcement as with Zen 3.

I thought November 5th was official AMD zen3 purchase date?

For CPUs, yes.

Zen3 availability will be telling

Would make more sense for them to release before cyberpunk/3000 series come back in stock, so have to wait and see, would be a fail on there side if they release them after cyberpunk.

There may shortages of both cards.

I would hope for a game bundle too, although its looking like AC: Valhalla might be extended, wouldnt mind that tbh test out a new GPU on.

$ilent · 18 Oct 2020 at 16:13

dam I didnt realise AMD did annoucements a month before available to buy. I really hope they have a 3070 type gpu (6700XT?) for sub £400 otherwise ill be tempted to try pick up a 3070 i think.

gpuerrilla · 18 Oct 2020 at 16:18

I think they will in the navi22 flavour.

I thought that AMD had confirmed that RDNA 2 would be available for PC before it was launched on the next-generation consoles from Sony & Microsoft (10-12 Nov)?

That was my understanding too. I think with the pressure to roll everything out including consoles the target is about 1 week behind schedule. So lets say MS release xbox on 10th November I can assume the dGPU's wont be much behind it possibly a week later. What I am hoping is not a pre-order buffalo stampede, just a launch day where we can buy it and its shipped next day. If there is limited supply want to be slicker than the 3080 trash that went on - i.e. 1 order per household or something to stop the abuse.
