Ebay only showing reference designs. So - nothing released yet?

I'm used to AIB cards costing more but this seems more than usual. Also, the 6800 XT is supposed to be cheaper than the 3080 but the AIB models between the two are priced similarly now which to me negates the extra value you're supposed to get with the 6800 XT.I think today might have just been the embargo, no actual stock shipping. And if you want a hybrid card, that's what they cost - that IS the MSRP for the card with the additional cooling. Not a markup.

25th is the target date. Not all will hit the same day though. ASICs have gone to AIBs that would commit to getting those to retailer shelves the quickest.
AIB 3080s still seem to be higher, off top of my head... but not by a ton.I'm used to AIB cards costing more but this seems more than usual.

Plans vs what actually happened in this fallen world we inhabit.According to Kyle earlier in this thread:
EVGA has the 3080 XC3 Hydro Copper for $809 and ASUS is trying to sell a TUF 6800XT for $809.
I'm not buying from AMD AIBs.
ASUS TUF is only $679 and the Strix is $699. That's not exactly scalping.
Asus TUF - $809:ASUS TUF is only $679 and the Strix is $699. That's not exactly scalping.
Where are you seeing these prices?ASUS TUF is only $679 and the Strix is $699. That's not exactly scalping.
AMD is loosing out on sales. Once the Ti models are announced, mindshare will shift back to Nvidia.Yeah I am starting to think that the AIB are doing the MSI and scalping their cards and instead of doing it from the shadows they just do it openly now. Powercolor was priced okay but holy mother of god what is going on with Asus and the rest!
That's the 6800, non XT version. Guess I'm not surprised that they are charging more for an AIB 6800 than a ref 6800 XT.
Not only that, Newegg is adding a markup over and above the MSRP for at least some of the AiB cards. As an example, Techpowerup lists the MSRP of Saphire's 6800XT Nitro+ as $770 (with no real overclocking improvement over the reference model) and Newegg was listing it for $829 + shipping.Newegg just has a drop off all the brands of the 6800XT. Sold out instantly.

Yep, I'll make due with my 2060 Super until next year or EVGA sends me a the notification to buy.Jesus, now I'm depressed. I had a shred of hope the pricing was just an anomaly. For $800 I'd rather have a 3080.
Yeah 5700xt is surprising agile. Only game I'm really seeing it struggle with is Destiny 2 since they launched beyond light. Even with a 5600x at 4.8 ghz, it sees dips in the high 40 to mid 50s for extended periods of time. Their new redo really broke the pc performance of the game. For a game designed for 1st gen ps4/xbox one, it i now running worse than ever on pc. Even at native 720p and taking that down to another 50% reduced res modifier it still can't gold stable 60fps, and that's with the fastest gaming processor in the world right now. I'm hoping new AMD gpu will at least bump that up a bit, although the game always ran a little better on Nvidia hardware.I really wanted a 6800xt for my new 3440x1440 monitor as I felt my overclocked 5700xt was going to struggle. Turn down a few settings to medium though and wow it's surprisingly playable with no perceptible difference in image quality. I'm not hurting where I am.
Kind like, Add the AMD/Nvidia GPU Into their custom Boards.Hi. I'm stupid.
AIB = GPU, right? Add In Board? Just another term for GPU?
Yes - this is a way to differentiate between MBA (Made by AMD) boards and AIB (Add In Board) Partners (ASUS, Sapphire, XFX, etc, etc)Hi. I'm stupid.

AIB supplier or AIB partner is the company that buys the AMD (or Nvidia) gpu to put on a board and then bring a complete and usable graphics card or AIB to market.Hi. I'm stupid.

I've been playing on medium/high settings in FPS for a while at 3440x1440 144Hz with G-Sync. Butter smooth and still having fun.I really wanted a 6800xt for my new 3440x1440 monitor as I felt my overclocked 5700xt was going to struggle.
