The 6800xt page was updated, so it may have been that it was in stock at one point too. Wasn't like that yesterday.
The bot in this Discord server noticed the 6800, but I see no mention of the 6800XT. So although I wouldn't put any money on it, I doubt the 6800XT was there.
If I were to take it positively: maybe they updated the page for near-future purposes?
It did say discontinued before, now price went up to 1099 and just OOS.
Got one, party is over
Why is the 6800 only $50 less than the 6800XT?!?
cos they raised the price of the 6800, and now the 6800xt too.
Wow, sold out in under 20 minutes.
Does this mean my msi 6800xt has finally come?
Not a bargain at all.
That went quickly
So I guess the "reference cards will no longer come to Aus because of a low profit margin" bs was bs all along?
AMD wants to continue reference because people are just going to flock to Nvidia simply because they can't get their hands on AMD GPU. There was a 'public outcry' about lack of stock

i think the stock situation with AMD is quite a bit worse compared to Nvidia since the GPU's are competing with 7nm fab space which is shared by both Ryzen 5000 desktop and mobile parts
This might be a stupid question but this looks like a reference card, Why is it MSI branded?
AMD itself produces the chip (GPU die) but the board itself plus final packaging, sales and warranty is handled by their AIB partners, it's called a reference card because the card has been fully designed by AMD and the board partner simply follows their design guidelines
The cooler design, the BIOS, frequency, VRM and choice of surface component is all 'reference' spec and is identical regardless of brand.
Thanks for the reply. I found it strange since you don't see branded "reference" NVIDIA cards. As in the card with the new pass through cooling. They are only sold by NVIDIA.
Nvidia reference cards do exist — that's traditionally the Founder's Edition line but for a few years now the FE models are sold almost exclusively by Nvidia and by a bunch of their retail channels.
And rather than being a baseline model, NVIDIA wants its Founders Edition graphics cards to be the standard custom-design cards strive to match. So their definition of 'reference design' is quite different from AMD's.
I think I'm going to keep my 1080ti strix and wait for the 6800xt super (refesh). I'm sick of the bs.
I was excited then realized it was 6800 not xt, but it is likely to be sold out very soon anyway….
