Release RX 6800 & RX 6800 XT That the launch of Nvidia’s RTX 3000 cards did not go very smoothly, is already known. Frank Azor, Chief Architect of Gaming Solutions, stood firm when asked about the availability of AMD’s Ryzen 5000 – CPUs and RX 6000 – GPUs: there would be no paper launch. Regardless of the use of definitions, in both cases one can speak of a shortage.

Just before the release, Frank Azor nuances what he means by a paper launch (right).

While many were able to purchase a Ryzen 5000 processor , users who chose to purchase an RX 6800 (XT) card were less fortunate. As with the RTX 3000, it faced crashing websites or a total lack of stock . However, members of the AMD Red Team were able to purchase a card for the official three o’clock release this afternoon.
