Availability of the Radeon RX 6800 (XT) & 6900 XT Is Still Extremely Poor

We figured it's a nice time to check up on the stock availability of GPUs, in this round we turn back to the recently released Radeon RX 6800 (XT) & 6900 XT.

The product series has seen its launch back in November. Danish hardware retailer Proshop and Caseking from Germany last published informative and disappointing figures on the movement of goods on cards around two weeks ago. However, Proshop recently updated its overview on December 21st. It seems that nothing changed very much in terms of availability:

Only new cards are available from 3090 series. Understandably, it is due to price tag.

As is availability for Ampere. I was trying to get either a 6800 XT or a 3080, I managed to get a 6800. I've still been trying for a 3080 or 6800 XT with the idea I'd sell the 6800 to one of my friends, but no luck.

Both companies failed customers hard, by the time stock is at an appropriate amount there won't be any point in buying Nvidia because there will be a refresh a couple of months later.

AMD has a huge juggling game using TSMC as their only high end chip fab. Production of CPUs, GPUs, APUs and console APUs all from one source. Nvidia did slightly better choosing Samsung this time round but even they have to contend with having enough manufacturing capacity for their really high end stuff, commercial grade things.
