    It's definitely a generation or two away from being something worth turning on. It's not really a consideration when deciding what GPU to buy right now and I don't really see the point in supporting it on lower end GPU's like the 3060/6700.

    It'll be cool to flick on and check out for a few mins in supported games, but I'm not going to half my frame, turn on upscaling or lower other settings just for better reflections and lighting (shadows seem especially pointless).

    Did your 6900XT arrive yet?

    Could I just ask anyone currently using a 6900 XT what PSU they have (and what CPU I guess). I recently upgraded to a 5600X and I'm using the stock power limits ~77W. Current GPU is an R9 390 which can pull up to 270W though typically much lower than that.

    I currently have a fairly ancient 650W fractal design 80+ gold PSU that sounds like it's not doing great tbh. Lot of coil whine and fan noise. I'm just worried it'll pop, the first time I try to power up post upgrade!

    6900XT, x570 Aorus Master, 5900x run by a Corsair AX760. And I have an OC applied to the 6900xt too. No issues.

    Nope. Was marked as shipped 2 days ago. No updates since. I'm expecting it just to land on my doorstep unannounced.

    I got banned but clearing cache and cookies worked.

    My work computer is through a VPN so it's directing me to a nl site. Anyone know if that'll make a difference? If I bought, would it accept an irish address? I have my personal laptop on my lap here just in case.

    If you keep refreshing the page you'll end up having to clear cookies on every refresh which could potentially slow you down if you get lucky. That happened to me last week.

    Wait for the alert from PartAlert.

    Yeah, I got kicked out of the site for about 20 mins a couple of weeks ago doing this. I was like a trigger happy monkey refreshing every 3 seconds.

    Maybe they are mixing the times up to give people a chance

    Or maybe not...
