Major retailers have now mostly fulfilled all backorders, Zen 3 should be readily available at most places soon.

Damn I forgot and slept through, although after trying for a 6800XT which had way more stock, I'm not too upset.

I didn’t see any legit 6800/6800 xt stocks. All overpriced AIB cards.

I want a 6800 or 3070 ti if it comes out and it’s similar price as 6800 and performance.

6800s are available about every night starting at 6. Multiple drops last night.

Get in an alert discord and you can get one.



Whole bunch of 5800X's dropped last night too and stayed in stock for quite awhile. Starting to meet demand there now.

I'm in two alert discords. They are overpriced AIBs. 700+ for a regular 6800.

Yeah Nvidia and AMD said MSRP by April.

I'm fine with paying 50-100 over but that's my max.

AMD decided to drop all products at the same time today. I got a 5900x into my cart immediately. Get to the place order button, won’t go through. Finally does to reveal I’ve been banned from AMD.com. Do the same thing on my PC. Do the same thing on my wife’s phone. Find out clearing the cache gets me unbanned, rinse and repeat on my phone several more times til it goes out of stock.

Call AMD customer support to complain, they fricking disconnect me and then don’t call me back even though they took a number to call me back if a disconnect does happen. Their order system is shite.

Got two fricking more added after the please wait for 5 min and still no luck even when you can add it to cart. Unavail to ship.

BB wants you to think they have a good system but it blows too.

Ok I got the 5900x in my cart and had the same thing happen at BB. I talked to a person there. So Best Buy is regionalizing their stock. So if there isn’t a BB with assigned stock in your 250 mile area, tough shite. I tried finding a city that had it where I knew someone, but it sold out before I found a store with it.

No google pay on Newegg? I Apple Pay the frick out of Newegg and Best Buy. It’s how I have scored some of the stuff I have gotten like the 3090.

Someone on the Marietta portion of the micro center discord had a 6900xt they were offering to buy for anyone.
