Just speaking in regard to the initial launch of these high-demand products, say maybe the first 90 days or what not; until a more effective solution comes along, I wonder if venders evaded online ordering entirely and implemented old school order-over-phone requiring purchasers to speak with a human would help with the bot\scalper issue at all. For most larger companies, their support team\dept. already entails a call queue system, and then its just a dialing race at that point - i'd think of it being something like when one would hear a reward on the radio and you had to be the 9th callers or whatnot, but in this case, it would be whatever the actual stock is say first 1000 callers or something. Just a thought. Anyways, another great show, thank you!

no matter how you paint it as a guide, to the consumer it looks like they are telling you what and how to review. From the outside looking in thats what it looks like. No matter how much you try to explain it away, its just sounds like you're trying to CYA well because it is your lively hood. Does that mean we shouldn't trust you? Nah not exactly. However, you can protest something too much which gives it the appearance of trying to hide something. Perception is reality folks. Still love the content. However, I always wait for reviews from people that had to go out and buy the cards. Or someone like Steve from Gamers Nexus. with all that said, I still love the content, but don't linger on this topic too long and let it snake its way into your other videos.

Godfall raytracing has been locked out for nVidia series 2000/3000. Because AMD is paying to sponsor the game. Interesting. I thought AMD was the open company? I thought AMD fanboy's didn't like this type of practice? Raytracing is an open API. What if nVidia were to start locking out AMD cards from raytraced titles like Watchdogs, etc? Good luck even getting any of the new AMD gpus to enjoy the locked out ray tracing effects. Even though there is a huge install base of nvidia 2000 series cards. Hilarious. AMD just shows it has the same BS practices and the fanboy's eat it all up.

Gamers gpu not necessarily enthusiast level. Because honestly most enthusiasts are looking for something different than what's currently on offer.
When I saw same price as the competition and the competition offers mining, machine learning, ai, 3d, production etc. Plus hardware acceleration for things like voice, broadcast, nvenc etc. Amd is just too expensive. Let's not forget AMD are also using less expensive hardware ie older board designs that have been proven and cheaper, cheaper memories, etc. So it's too expensive for just gaming.

I wonder how this steam would of went, knowing what we know now 10 days ago. I doubt Scott would be on. Look, This comment isn't about the availability it's about the competition remarks by all of you is were you got it wrong, its variety. When every thing costs the same there is no competition. At this rate we are all going to be priced out. Soon it will be cheaper to buy a console and a Mac.

It was sold out with-in 2 minutes. When 99. 9999% of people can't get a card and won't be able to for (many) months THEN IT'S A PAPER LAUNCH! AMD botched this launch worse than Nvidia, which would have been hard to believe beforehand. When you can't supply not even 2% of customers who want the product then you have completely failed. I don't kiss AMD or Nvidia's or anybody else's a$$.

I hear, that the Radeon 6800(XT) is great, but I'm still waiting for an upgrade of my APU. I started with an AMD Phenom X3 8600b (3 x 2. 3Ghz) and upgraded to a Phenom II X4 B97 (4 x 3. 2 GHz) and to a Ryzen 3 2200G. Every time I doubled performance, I like to repeat it with a Ryzen 5 4600G or 5600G. I feel forgotten, because I'm not Dell nor HP: (

I am done with trying to buy graphics cards that are out of the shelve from the moment they are released. I bought an MSI Gaming X RX5700xt for $359 after MIR. I do not care it is 80% slower than RX6800xt since it is also about 80% cheaper. I can still play games at 1440p, and with the savings, I bought a very nice 1440p, 240hz, monitor.

Hey, Scott Herkelman, can you explain why your cards costs $250 more in Japan? Rx 6800 is blown out of the water on price/performance by the RTX 3070 entry level cards. Shouldn't be substantially cheaper to import a graphics card than buying locally. Meanwhile xbox and playstation match the US MSRP here.

Holy crap. he admitted it was a shitty launch because of demand and supply issues. I am not so mad now. they need to drop the price 200 dollars across the board on pricing and i will buy my 2nd AMD card, the first one i bought Radeon featured Brent Farve on the tv tuner/gpu cards packaging back in the 1990s.
