The AMD cards were apparently even more of a paper launch that the Nvidia ones

Only 5 days away from the 3060 Ti launch, will be interesting to see if its another paper fest or if the GA104-200 actually has some supply.

 

Good performance for an entry-mid level card (faster than a 2080 Super), however with partner cards averaging US$600 we probably won't see any for under a thousand bucks :/

How? They still can't supply cards to people that ordered on launch day, and are launching even more variants?

They have supply its just all being purchased by bots. Same situation as the PS5 and Xbox's.

Availability of GA104 is much better than GA102, there are plenty of 3070s around.

Pbtech had no supply at all of the AIBs. They came out as preorders with a two month lead time.

 

No idea why they advertised a launch at all.

I ordered a 6800 from Computer lounge around 3:10 AM on launch day. It arrived last Wednesday, I had also ordered one from PB Tech that was "In stock" after emailing them I found out that it wasn't actually in stock and that it was being ordered in. A bit of disappointing launch for sure, was hoping for better. Though glad I managed to somehow find one. 

 

 

 

Will be interesting to see how the 6900XT launch goes.

It's weird computer lounge got some but PB Tech, who are listed on the AMD website, didn't get any.

Turns out they were being conservative about the lead time, my card arrived yesterday!
