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.

I'd hardly call them biased.
I did find somebody who was selling a pair of 270X Toxics for a good deal though :laugh:Ohhh snap! Don't let her find out you posted this! :laugh: :fear::laugh:

Can you get PS5s guys? No? Oh, but it sold in millions, so why is that?
AH, demand is still way over supply? Mkay then.
AMD/NV produce GPU chips sell them to OEMs. Exactly what needs to happen so that GPUs reach "the right" people?
One of the things AMD promised to do is to favor physical retailers over online.
Naturally, online dudes would get smaller share of the cards.
That being said, nothing "paper" about AMD GPU availability on mindfactory. Last week was a bi tcurious though, with NV Ampere being nearly exclusively 3060. Before that, it was 1:2 or 1:1.5 for the latest gen GPUs.
Last, but not least, crypto is a Ponzi Scheme:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponzi_scheme
and it already got to planetary levels. it can't last forever.
Crypto may be a lot of things, but a Ponzi scheme is not one of them, sorry.
You don't even have an opinion, you're flat out talking out of your arse.
Friendly advice: don't talk about things you don't understand one bit, else you risk people rightfully laughing at you.
Last week mindfactory alone sold 1615 units of 6700XT.

even other stores have these in stock so I guess this thread (tapping to the title of this thread actually) seems far fetched.
Edit.
Just checked Mindfactory, yeah €800+.
Still, that's better than €1200+ in Poland.
Who would have thought that It would have been cheaper to buy in Norway than in Poland. It was always all the way around.
I know the GPUs are overpriced but considering the situation and all that has been said in media, by reviewers it will not end tomorrow. We are stuck with these prices for longer.
The question is now if you can buy these cards.
MSI already has announced jacking prices up for graphics due to components availability issues and components prices greatly increasing. Asus already said the prices will go up 3 weeks ago if I'm not mistaken. So looking for any graphics at MSRP is fulls errand although I'd look anyway if I needed one.
336mm2 vs 520mm2
No wonder AMD has actually skewed its production into the smaller chips, which still sell for more than 6800XT was supposed to cost.
