RX 6800’s get released tomorrow! Where do you buy them?

Seriously, where? 
 

Newegg? Doubt it. AMD directly? B&H maybe? 
 

I missed the Ryzen 5000 launch, really hoping not to miss this. 
 

looking for tips and help

Haha, likely nowhere.

Anyone thinking shortages are just an Nvidia problem are going to be sadly, sadly mistaken.

I’d recommend waiting for independent benchmarks to go live before buying. But...chances are that they will be sold out before said benchmarks go live.

Definitely do not do a pre-order from b&h. Unless you treat it like the initial rush on newegg and the like. All the bots and other people will be trying to pre-order it too at midnight. Unless you pre-order it precisely then, you'll be waiting a really long time to get that order filled. 

 

I wish I knew that when I tried to buy my 5900x. I pre-ordered mine 3 or 4 hours after the pre-order went live and my order will not be fulfilled until march...

Luckily they are very helpful and said I can cancel my order any time without penalty, if I can find one before they ship it
