Board is working great for me. I paid $150 in June.

My 5800X ordered from Amazon early Nov 21 arrived yesterday, Nov 28. Pulled the 2700X out of an Asus Prime X570 P and installed the new chip. Civ VI Gathering Storm AI benchmark went from 66 sec per turn to 31 sec. Witcher 3 @ 4K with a 6800 went from sinking to 40 fps riding through the land...

I have the 6800 running a 4K CX48 over HDMI with 2 Dell 1600x900 monitors on the sides connected via DP. I didn't even have to set up a multi-monitor profile when I installed the Radeon driver - it detected the 3 monitors and arranged them as I wanted. I did have to dig through Windows...

Naw, I'll just enjoy my 6800 with my new CX 48.

If anybody defending the scalpers here wants to buy a very lightly used Radeon 6800 for $1500, let me know. /s

That seems to be more than any other model so far.

Dude, with Nvidia you can use DLSS to upscale 1440p to 4K then use DSR to downscale 4K to 1080p. It's win/win! The more you buy, the more you save!!!

The 5800X I ordered from Amazon on 11-21 had the ship date moved from Jan 7-17 to Dec 22-Jan 2 to Dec 2-12 to Dec 1. Looks like AMD is doing better than anticipated in getting stock shipped.

Gone

Amazon emailed to change the delivery date of my 5800X from Jan 7-17 to Dec 22-Jan 2.

Just saw the 5800X available on Amazon and ordered. Expected delivery Jan 7-17. At least I'm in line...

My 6800 is out for delivery. Looking forward to connecting it to my new CX 48 to see how Freesync works.

Buying hardware has become like buying concert tickets, back when there was such a thing as a concert.

Probably because of the scalper listings already on eBay.
