Gigabyte Launches Radeon RX 6800 XT and Radeon RX 6800 graphics cards
GIGABYTE launched five graphics cards - AORUS Radeon™ RX 6800 XT MASTER TYPE C 16G, AORUS Radeon™ RX 6800 XT MASTER 16G, Radeon™ RX 6800 XT GAMING OC 16G, AORUS Radeon™ RX 6800 MASTER 16G, and Radeon™ RX 6800 GAMING OC 16G.
These graphics cards are designed to fulfil the demands of different customers. AORUS MASTER features MAX-Covered cooling, LCD edge view and RGB Fusion 2.0. It is recommended for enthusiasts who want the ultimate performance, customized display and colorful RGB lighting. GAMING OC features the WINDFORCE cooling system and RGB Fusion 2.0. It is the best choice for performance gamers.
AORUS MASTER
The MAX-Covered cooling features 3 unique blade stack fans with a wind claw design and alternate spinning so the air pressure can completely cover the heatsink. The heat dissipation area of the heat-sink is larger than the previous generation. With the big copper plate and seven composite heat-pipes, the heat from the GPU and VRAM can be dissipated quickly. Coupled with GIGABYTE’s screen cooling technology, the extended fins allow air to pass through, forming an extremely efficient heat dissipation system to ensure stable operation. A powerful LCD monitor is embedded on the side of the graphics card, which can be set to enthusiastic mode, text mode, image mode or GIF mode. With GIGABYTE software, gamers can edit all kinds of content, or set the monitor to CHIBI Time to enjoy the changes of the little falcon every hour. RGB Fusion 2.0 allows gamers to not only set the lighting effects of the entire graphics card and LCD monitor, but also to synchronize the lighting with other AORUS devices. AORUS MASTER also features aerospace-grade PCB coating, Dual BIOS quiet operation mode and ULTRA DURABLE certified components. It is recommended for enthusiasts who want the ultimate performance and colorful RGB lighting.
GAMING OC
The GIGABYTE WINDFORCE 3X cooling system features 3x unique blade fans, alternate spinning, composite copper heat pipes directly touching the GPU, 3D active fan and screen cooling, which together provide efficient heat dissipation. These cooling technologies keep the graphics card at a low temperature at all times, resulting in higher and more stable performance. The middle fan spins in reverse to optimize airflow for heat dissipation, enabling more efficient performance at a lower temperature. Screen cooling extends the heatsink to allow air flow to pass through, providing better heat dissipation. In addition, graphene nano lubricant can extend the fan life by 2.1 times, close to the life of the double ball bearing, and enables quieter operation. RGB fusion 2.0 allows users to adjust the color of the lights and various special effects, and synchronize with other AORUS devices. Due to its Ultra-Durable components, cooling technology and RGB lighting, GAMING OC is the best choice for performance gamers.
GIGABYTE graphics cards use the multi-phase power supply to allow the MOSFET to operate at a lower temperature and provide over-temperature protection and load balancing for each MOSFET. In addition, the Ultra Durable certified chokes and capacitors provide excellent performance and longer system life. The metal back plate not only strengthens the overall structure, but also prevents the PCB from bending or damaging. AORUS Radeon™ RX 6800 XT MASTER TYPE C 16G has one USB TYPE-C, one HDMI and two DP video outputs. The other models offer two HDMI and two DP video outputs. To provide a better user experience, AORUS series products provide customers with a 4-year warranty (requires online registration within 30 days of the purchase date) so that customers can enjoy gaming or create content without any worry.

Their AORUS RX 6800 Series looks obsolete to me due to their attached connectors. It either has 2x HDMI + 2x Displayport or 2x HDMI + 1x DisplayPort +1x USB Type-C.
Useless reference design for anybody with more than 2 displays and for anybody with GSync/FSync.

Hedging bets depending USA election tbh. If Trump remains as POTUS, cards will flood the market. If Biden wins, due to the already announced lockdown until Q4 2021 there will be just a trickle of cards on the market.
Europe is irrelevant as is already due for a complete economy collapse if Biden becomes POTUS. Otherwise, if Trump remains, gather popcorn, we going to have better entertainment than computer games.
Fortunately the companies do not live in a bubble like many in here (and generally in tech "sphere") not are so dumb that cannot understand wtf is going on around them. None going to invest millions on products that would end up on the shelves if the global economy is going to crash.

We're due for a what?
Cheeky ISP hiking up the prices just in time then.
Next year sounds like it's going to be all sorts of interesting though perhaps not the most fun one.

Why does someone launch 5 different graphics cards when there are no GPUs to be put on PCB?
Maybe question is self explaining.
