AMD 's new graphics cards, the Radeon RX 6800 and 6800 XT, released today 18 November. However, according to an electronics retailer at USA, supplies are "extremely limited».
ΟThe information comes from Micro Center, which has physical stores across the country. On Tuesday, an admin forum for the retail store he published a FAQ for the upcoming release RX 6800 «Quantities will be extremely limited in circulation however, we expect additional GPU shipments later in the day of release and in the following days", Posted by admin«LandShark».
Asked how many units the Micro Center received for the release, LandShark he said: "We have not been given an exact number, but from what I have been told, I guess it will be similar to the Nvidia launch.»
This is not a good sign for anyone trying to secure new Radeon cards on the first day. When Nvidia introduced its own next generation cards, the series RTX 3000, the products were sold out immediately after the release, leaving many consumers disappointed.
«For Nvidia release, some of our stores did not receive more than 10 cards if I remember correctly", Added o LandShark.
For the edition Radeon RX 6800, the Micro Center refused to offer online reservations for graphics cards, citing high demand. As a result, customers camp already out of retail stores hoping to get a card early Wednesday morning.
