PCS generally stock XFX and another although I don’t know who, but yes, aftermarket versions will be the standard option.
The strix is normally a separate option because it’s much more expensive.

Thanks for the info. I hope PCS may add separate Asus option so I can switch srtix 3080 to strix 6800xt for my new PC build
Maybe I'll ask sales team closer to time in regards of availability.

They’ll likely list all the cards for pre order in the configurator maybe a week or so before release. But yes, worth asking beforehand if you get the chance.

Booked the 18th off work, so I'll have no excuses not to be sat ready to amend my order...

Fingers crossed that the aftermarket versions of 6800xt will be released alongside AMD version on the same day of 18th NovBooked the 18th off work, so I'll have no excuses not to be sat ready to amend my order...

I've seen somewhere that they're due to be the following week, once AMD start restocking after their initial batch sell out. That's me repeating speculation from Youtube, so take it with a pinch of salt. They won't be too long after I'm sure though!

So it appears that Big Navi outperforms NVidia quite significantly for mining which is NOT good news....
They're now threatening severe stock shortages as miners will be gunning for them on release day.

AMD Radeon RX 6800 may be 50% faster than GeForce RTX 3090 for cryptomining

I know, it's crazy.
Apparently it's more for etherium and a few of the newer currencies.
But ROI when factoring in simply the cost of energy, it's so low.

Hopefully the last sentence about AMD putting out a mining-specific GPU happens, at least to try and kill some of the demand for the main GPUs.

Absolutely. They need to release it alongside the gaming cards though.

But when will they appear on the (re-)configurator for me to swap out my RTX3080?
Weren't they supposed to be available on the 18th November?

I imagine it'll be tomorrow or Wednesday that they'll be on the configurator.

Maybe, but with the extra (albeit limited) capacity of two different GPU series offerings, and some people happy to move over to Team Red, it should mean it helps everyone in the short-term.
I'm neither Team Red or Blue or Black (if Intel's included), I just want a decent card for my new/1st gaming PC build (cancelled my Xbox Series X pre-order when I ordered this as I was playing more on an unsuitable PC than I was on the X1X).
Potentially, however Nvidia are using Samsung who were not ready with a lot of stuff, whereas AMD are using TSMC.
That may make a difference, as existing supplier versus going to a new supplier for a new product launch is always a nightmare.

That's what I'm expecting - I fully expect the 6000 series will sell out as quickly as the 3000 series did in September. The difference is that AMD will start to get new stock out in a week or two, while Nvidia didn't appear to have any new stock for nearly a month after the initial launch day.
