I'm sure they wouldn't miss the chance to sell for the frankly ridiculous prices other places are asking atm.
If they had stock

Yep there was a 6800/6800xt drop today for about 10 seconds. Prices were high. Including the Nitro+
Similar to xfx pricings yesterday?
Just saw a shop have 3070 at but cost more than 3080 FE price from NV.

Really? Ive seen none anywhere and im checking all the main shops every few hours.

What ya guys think, £799 too much for the nitro+?
Nah as I ordered one but in reality I would have been happy getting the reference at launch price. I work Shifts and it seems this year tech launches have all fallen on the wrong day and times for me to have any chance of grabbing what I want. I spend most of my workday outside and being too busy to order on my mobile.
I want to play Cyberpunk 2077 at a decent res and did not think my Radeon 7 would cut it.

Fair enough. I was tempted to get the nitro for the price, but undecided at the price and prices normalising isnt happening anytime soon.

Yes, £200 over reference is disgusting, should be £50-£70 at most. (Base price is £600 for reference 6800XT)
Those MBA refs will always be unobtanium tho.
The AIB boards will *never* meet RRP. Ever ever ever.
So whatever (small) stock drops AMD make on their website will always be gone in 5s. Even after the AIB boards start sitting on shelves.
Besides, I don't think AMD has any intention of making the MBA ref cards in any great quantity. They'll continue to drop 5 cards once a week for the whole of the EU
Just so they can say "we kept making them".

Even so, £799 for a AIB model is way overpriced for a 6800xt

Im starting to think if I cant get 6800xt or 6900xt soon. Im going to wait and see what happens with the rumoured 3080ti
Cheaper than yesterday
At least you have OC version, better than those who bought reference card from scalpers at similar price.
I was thinking to return the 6800 bought from ocuk but will now keep it. Decided it is not worth paying this much for XT version.
I agree, but overpriced is going to become the new normal price.
I don't think they're going to fall back to RRP, at all. AIBs aren't going to want their margins squeezed no matter how much noise AMD makes about "helping" them to reach RRP. It won't happen.
Only tiny amounts of ref cards will hit RRP and we'll all have more chance of winning the lottery than getting one.
As much as I'm not going to lube up, I've accepted now that I'm probably not going to be able to get a 6800XT at all. It's £800 or bust, basically. And I'm not paying that.
