Some XFX Speedster Merc 6800XTs showing up on Amazon across Europe this morning.
Could be a good sign.

MidlanderMan · 07-01-2021 5:39pm

There's 6900xts on AMD direct buy right now.

Just came online to post that.

I bought one even though I was only looking for a 6800

I'm sure if i get any buyers remorse i'll be able to sell it at cost.

Ha. Same.
I wanted an all AMD build and now I'll have it.

EoinHef · 07-01-2021 5:46pm

At this point i feel the 6800 XT is the hardest GPU to get currently.

Rarely alerts and if not direct buy,very overpriced usually.
I have a 3080 currently but I really want the 6800 XT

Yeah I'd definitely take the 6800xt over the 6900xt as the performance difference is not worth the price difference, but I'm getting bored of this scrambling to grab something before the bots ****e so I took what I could today.
I guess I'll settle for the 6900xt :v

Good stuff,congrats!!

I had one in my basket at launch but ultimately its just a card thats not in my budget.

Cuddlesworth · 08-01-2021 3:17pm

The only thing I have heard about buying direct from AMD is don't do it. There is zero back end support if anything goes wrong.

I'll take my chances as it's the only way to get MSRP

Homelander · 08-01-2021 7:20pm

After the horrific experience I had, I would never buy direct from them again.

Why what happened you?

MidlanderMan · 14-01-2021 6:16pm

6900 XT arrived today.
Fastways lad literally rang the bell and drove off leaving it at the door, didn't even wait to make sure it answered. Luckily I was home.

If ordering from AMD direct they ship with DHL form the Netherlands but instead of DHL handling the delivery in Ireland, it's subbed out to fast ways.

If you're think you might but out when delivery happens, it night be worth getting delivered to somewhere you know someone will be there to take it for you.

Card itself is very nice.

what's the better/straightforward benchmarking software? i've undervolted and overclocked my card and just want to run a few tests

Use Heaven myself but anything that stresses it and gives a score should be grand within reason

shrapnel222 · 16-01-2021 11:01am

thanks for that. used heaven as 3d mark wouldn't let me download the free version.

decent jump from a score of 7739 to 7933 when overclocked and undervolted with an FPS of 314.9

Aodhan5000 · 21-01-2021 5:25pm

Was a card drop there on AMD. Got there 7 minutes after stock drop notification and everything gone. Anyone got advise on how to set up a bot?

All models or just the 6900xt again?

Not sure tbh, stock alert isn't that detailed, only says 6000 series stock alert with link to amd site

Aodhan5000 · 21-01-2021 6:26pm

There was definitely 6800XT stock on scan but that if you wanted to pay £900 for it

EoinHef · 21-01-2021 6:30pm

All the models were available from AMD direct.

Would have got a 6800 XT myself if i could have

What's that you're using to get them notifications? I'm on stock drop DC but your notification came in earlier on whatever group you're in than the DC I'm on

I think it's Telegram.

EoinHef · 22-01-2021 6:00am

Yeah its telegram,you would really need to be at the PC/phone and ready.

Back in college next week,be at the PC most of the day so hope to snag one in the coming weeks

Luck100 · 24-01-2021 2:35pm

Rumor is that next Navi (Navi 31) will be dual-chiplet design. Literally 2X the compute of Navi 21.

Slutmonkey57b · 24-01-2021 2:43pm

By 2022 they might actually have built enough capacity to produce some cards!

Stock drop, 30-40% over MSRP.

RX 6800 at OCUK. I know we've said they dont' ship to Ireland but it says "UK and Ireland only due to high demand" so maybe they're shipping here now, I don't know

Why it is classified under "3D Printers"...?

Still haven't sorted out shipping here yet.

I'd say it was to help the forum members to grab them before the bots.
They inform members before they put them on the site.

Northern Ireland.

Aodhan5000 · 27-01-2021 3:11pm

Could I get it shipped to cousins so and then brought down over the border or use addresspal/parcelmotel

I'm pretty sure addresspal will charge Irish VAT on top of the price you pay so you will pay VAT twice.

Thought OCUK were VAT registered here so that'd stop me getting charged twice.
Edit: Nvm get watcha mean. OCUK would charge UK VAT to NI so I'd be paying Irish again then. So relatives are the only option?

Most of my new build (including my 6800XT) are currently sitting in the in laws place in Tyrone. One of the few times I would be mad to visit them lol

I don't think they are actually doing delivery to the republic at the moment. At least they weren't last week

Cuddlesworth · 27-01-2021 3:27pm

They are Vat registered. It seems like that with the recent delivery problems and customs issues, they are just not bothering with dealing with Ireland right now.

wotzgoingon · 28-01-2021 2:08am

I didn't realize there were still shortages on consoles. I got my series X a few days after launch.

Azza · 31-01-2021 2:03am

Looks like AMD will be launching a 6700XT soon.

https://www.overclock3d.net/news/gpu_displays/amd_s_radeon_rx_6700_xt_teased_with_12gb_of_memory_and_a_q1_launch_date/1

Another card I can't wait not to be able to buy! :pac:

wotzgoingon · 31-01-2021 2:22am

I'm still kicking myself for not picking up a 6900 XT from AMD on launch day. I remember reading on here they were still in stock on AMD's website. The main reason was it is a dear card but doesn't look that dear when you try to find 6800 XT for the same price as 6900 XT from a retailer. Mad prices for a 6800 XT.

I picked up a 6900Xt direct from AMD a few weeks back, I wanted the 6800XT because the difference in performance doesn't justify the difference in price.

That said, delighted with the card, especially when I see what 3080's and 6800xts are selling for. Was half tempted to flog this at profit but then I'd have many money and no card, and that would be no craic.

Whisper quit, even under load, doesn't get very warm and fans turn off at 50c. If i manually ramp it up to 100% fan speed is gets kinda loud in my case, but i've never heard it over case fans in use yet.

My only dilema now, so do I want to sell my 5600x and get a 5900x and be a total AMD fanboy wanker?
