From a 3070 to the rx 6800 . I spent a long time doing research. LTT , Jayztwocents, LTT forums . Gamer meld plus many others too. I know the raytracing is no where near Nvidia but i can live with that atm. Plus system can always be upgraded in the future if i so choose too.
Big navi 21. PCS release info?
- Thread starter Danpulse
- Start date
I did the research as well. Ray tracing isn't as good as Nvidia but Nvidia have also been working on it alot longer. I'm waiting on the 6800 xt and 5800x for my build I have no idea how long I will be waiting but I'm hoping its before Mid Jan!
I have bad news for anyone trying to get the 6800 XT after asking about it on the live chat with a support rep.
PCS didn't receive ANY of these cards at all, and have no idea when they will receive any, but it won't be before Christmas most likely.
After doing a bit of research it seems like Europe basically got no AIB cards for the RX 6800 XT for some reason.
Here's a snippet from the chat for anyone interested:

I have had similar info from them as well. The CSR said they expected shipments on 1 and 2 of Dec, but neither turned up.
Tbh, it's pretty poor from them. I obviously understand delays happen, but they shouldn't guarantee Xmas delivery, unless they can, you know, guarantee it.
The thing that frustrates me the most is the lack of transparency regarding your order. You throw 2k+ at them and they don't keep you in the loop on your order status, forcing you to chase them instead...
Keep us posted mate and good luck
Yeah fingers crossed . If the system hasn't been updated by tomorrow I will email with the conversation and see what they say about that .

Sorry to hear the not so good news, maybe best to keep a lookout online to see if any gpu may be available to purchase soon so they can dispatch pc early I'm even looking into rtx option too
Anyone else insulted by this? 🤣🤣
By all means do a giveaway when you can supply paying customers their orders. Smh
Bet if you win it will still be " delivery next year " 😂
All this goes to prove that companies don't actually care who buys the stock - as long as the stock gets sold. This is the modern MaaS in the world we live in (malware as a service). Its nothing that we can influence so why worry about it?
When I placed my order about 9 days ago the rx 6800 xt was not gauranteed before xmas - now its pre-order. The ryzen 7 5800x was not pre-order but it was the day later. Its annoying that I have to wait for the new rig - my old one literally burnt out gpu - but Am spending my time doing other things.
There's always a silver lining - the stock will come, sooner or later

Did you get your system or did you hear back at least?
I got an email response saying the same as the live chat. So looks like all components are in for my build , just needs updating on system. So fingers crossed it will be soon.
