Presumably, graphics cards sell out quickly

The launch of the Geforce RTX 3080 and 3090 left many gamers angry that the first graphics cards were sold out within minutes. Since then, supplies have come over and over, but pixel accelerators are still tough and often only available at excessive prices. Could the Radeon RX 6000 series have a similar fate? Individual reports from manufacturers and retailers indicate this.

According to Asus Nordic, only a very few copies will be available when the Radeon RX 6800 (XT) is released, although supplies of the XT model are likely to be particularly limited. According to an Asus employee who comments on the Sweclockers forum, the Radeons are suspected to have disappeared within minutes. Partner cards are expected to be open a week or two after the official launch of the Radeon RX 6800 (XT). It is still too early to make statements on their availability. However, demand is expected to remain high.

Polish retailer Morele.net is also said to have commented on availability. As a result, you can also pre-order tickets, but you don’t know exactly when they will start. There are delivery issues like with Nvidia graphics cards. Meanwhile, China’s PTT forum says availability will likely only improve in December. As a reminder, the Radeon RX 6800 and Radeon RX 6800 XT will officially launch on November 18th.

Reports of delivery bottlenecks accompanying the RDNA2 launch don’t come to us for the first time, but so far they have been mostly associated with the Radeon RX 6900 XT, which won’t be out until December 8th anyway. After all, AMD has promised to work with resellers and partners Measures against the latest complained about Ampere’s “scalping” takes hold. Last month, some tool vendors had bagged several models of the Geforce RTX 3080 and 3090, only to sell them on Ebay at lunar prices.
