Yeah I was debating switching to the 6900 XT recently but decided against it as I figured they were likely to go out of stock anyway before the 5900X's come in to stock.
I'll just have to wait until the 6800 XT / 5900X come in stock together! :cautious:
I agree with this totally.
I would even go one step further and say it would be nice to have an up to date stock levels page of the pre-order components (even if only a weekly update):
Number of orders waiting for each component - This would give us an idea of the demand.
Date PCS last received...
I also think Nvidia is tightly controlling the supply of 3080's (and 3070's to a lesser extent) to ensure the demand is higher than supply, which will push more people into buying the 3090, which provides them with MUCH higher profit margins.
They are still manufacturing as many of them as they...
Try it now, I used it just there and got through to a support staff.
Although if you are looking for ETA's on Zen3 cpu's or the new graphics cards - forget it... they have nothing to say.
It's in stock now. If it doesn't have "Pre-order" next to it you can take it that it is in stock.
Also if you have already place an order you can amend and click "Proceed" and it'll tell you (green circle means in stock).
RTX 3090 / i9 10900k seems to be a good combo for people who have the money, and are unwilling to wait.
I can't say I recommend it, but it is a good option if you need a beefy PC in a hurry!
There's stock of the new Ryzen CPU's on the french amazon at the moment.
Here's hoping PCS get a boat load of them in soon! 🙏

Wow, looks great with the samsung G9 monitor! I'm also thinking of getting this once my new PC arrives.
I am waiting on a similar build with the 680X case - hoping the glass won't be smashed on delivery!
On the rear fan, I'm pretty sure the one that comes with the case is not RGB at all, so if...
There is plenty of stock of the 3090 if you look around.
I feel like this was Nvidia's plan all along; make people sick of waiting/trying to get the 3080, and buy the 3090 for twice the price. Much higher profit margins for them.
Curious, did you get an email from PCS around 15th Dec about the 5900X saying:
"As you will be aware, this product was placed on a Pre-Order basis because the item is currently in constraint. Unfortunately due to a lack of global supply the manufacturer has not been able to supply us with enough...
Did you end up going for the 6900 XT in the end?
I'm considering it if it would give consistent 10% higher FPS on average in games compared to the 6800 XT.
I'll wait for the reviews!
Can anyone find reviews/benchmarks for any of the 6900 XT partner cards (not reference model)?
I've been looking around but can't find ANY! Please link if you find any. Cheers.
This is the point I've stressed before.
PCS should be prioritising the older builds more than they currently are doing.
In my opinion they should be allocating Zen 3 CPU's to all of the oldest builds so that when they get the GPU's in for those orders it would go straight into building, rather...
Aye, think I will at this stage. And I won't contact them again until the new year.
I actually asked him if they are getting the reference 6800/6900 XT's or partner models and he told me they were getting XFX cards for now but might also be getting powercolor 6800 XT's.
He said the model of 6900...
