AMD to Supply Only a Few Thousand Radeon RX 6700 XT GPUs for Europe at Launch
The global supply chain of graphics cards is currently not very well equipped to handle the massive demand that exists for the latest generation of GPUs. Just like we have seen with the launch of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3000 series Ampere, and AMD Radeon RX 6000 series Big Navi SKUs, the latest generation graphics cards are experiencing massive demand. And manufacturers of these GPUs are not very well equipped to handle it all, so there is a huge scarce for GPUs in the global market. With AMD's recent announcement of the Radeon RX 6700 XT graphics card, things are not looking any better, and the availability of this GPU could be very tight at launch.
According to information obtained by Igor's Lab, AMD could supply only a few thousand Radeon RX 6700 XT GPUs for Europe as a whole. To be precise, Igor's Lab notes that "If you condense the information of various board partners and distributors to a trend, then there are, depending on the manufacturer and model, only a few pieces (for Germany) to a few thousand for the EU as a whole." This could be a very bad indication of AMD's supply of these new GPUs globally, not just for Europe. The company is currently relying on the overbooked TSMC, which can only produce a limited amount of chips at the time, and we don't know how much capacity AMD allocated for the new chip.

And people were saying Nvidia did a paper launch :roll:
Corporations enabling crypto miners for profit...this shit is getting really old.

I am really looking forward to a clock-equalised comparison of RDNA1 (5700XT) vs RDNA2 (6700XT) since they share very similar core layouts but on different architectures.
Given that leaks show a 20-40% improvement and the clock difference is over 20%, it's looking like RDNA2 isn't as much of an architectural leap as AMD has been singing about. We'll have to see when the review embargo ends, because leaks can't be trusted.
rx5700 XT are sold 700 euro for used model in france
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
AMD: here you go hope these help!
Also, the current prices are eye-watering high. Would you buy a GPU for 1.5x-2x the MSRP? I know I wouldn't ...
