I read in a review the MSRP was supposed to be around £700 but Brexit and massively increased shipping costs have happened since then even without the shortages and btc inflation.
I’m only justifying the price because I can get about £150 more for my vega due to current demand so I’m not really losing out. Do feel for those who are building new with nothing to sell though.
I know the Nitro+ range are normally around £100-£150 more than the reference cards so the current inflated £860 is in the ballpark I guess. I might just go for it since I need a card that can do 100+fps for my 1440P 165Hz display.

Go for it your 5700xt will fetch £450 plus on the bay so be a cheap upgrade if you look at it like that
win win
Any chance of 6800 MBA next Wednesday?
An upgrade i would have thought, especially with games barely supporting multi gpu anymore.

they all sold out at around 3pm, they had 100 pieces 50 of each brand power colour and sapphire, very much doubt it.
Gibbo said they only sold around 50 total though. Was hoping there would be a second chance.
Don’t tend to post in here but want to express my thanks for today Gibbo
My last GPU upgrade was a 290, I’ve just started gaming again due to
Kids not requiring night feeds after nearly 3 years and I took delivery of a ultra wide last month.
To say I was disappointed with having resigned myself to waiting months for a new card was an understatement and the fact you arranged things to give us forum dwellers the first opportunity is appreciated
now I need a new PSU...
Thanks

Managed to get a MSI 3060Ti Gaming X Trio at the end.
The PNY would fit in so many more cases that I am considering but £30 for that massive cooler and the factory OC seemed like good value to my mind.
Looking forward to the upgrade from my Sapphire Nitro+ Vega 64 that I also got from OCUK just over 2 years ago now.

he said 45 and 30 sold and the rest wouldnt go on sale, might change but i dobut it since hes worried about oversell.
Thanks Overclockers for the chance to order a 3070. I ordered a Zotac Dual 3070 as I have been after a new card for over a week as my 1080 failed and was looking everywhere for one. Ordered 1 today and hoping that the order won't get cancelled due to stock shortage, but OC have always been good with orders.

Considering SLI doesn't work with most games I would say it's a definite upgrade. For reference, a PC sporting a Ryzen 9 3950X and 2x 2080 Ti in SLI produces an average score of 23732 on Firestrike Extreme compared to 25857 with a 5800X and 6900 XT. The CPU will be responsible for some of that boost but even still...

My single card score is still around 200th in Time spy bench mark, I’ve been burnt before switching from Nvidia Sli to AMD single card back in the HD 4850 days it was a negligible gain over my then Sli rig.
I have no allegiance to either brand it’s just that every four years or so I replace my GPU with the current top card.

I still cant believe its actually over. Its been months of alerts and trawling. But today I finaly got my Sapphire RX6800XT Nitro + OC. Yes I paid over the odds but i am happy to get my hands on a capable 4K gaming card. At christmas I got a LG CX Oled so this is the cherry on the top to make it perfect. Thanks for the sneaky link Gibbo.
