Public graphics cards are often regarded as a symbol of quality. They may not have the strongest performance and the best design, but they are indeed the most stable, and they are blessed by the aura of faith, and they have collection value to a certain extent.
It’s a pity that the public version of the card will only be available at the early stage of the product launch, and it will act as a pioneer. It will soon retreat, and it may not even be available in many markets. For example, the NVIDIA RTX 30 series of public version cards are not available. Nor will it be listed in the country.
The lifespan of AMD RX 6000 series public version cards is even incredibly short.
The RX 6900 XT was officially lifted from the listing last night, but earlier, the French website Cowcotland reported that the RX 6900 XT public version card had entered the stage of discontinuation and delisting before the release, and will not be produced again in the future, so the number is extremely high. Limited, a certain brand in France only has about 40 yuan.
This news has also been followed up and confirmed by more media today.
Digitec, the largest PC hardware retailer in Switzerland, also admitted that they can only get 35 RX 6900 XTs, all of which are public versions, and only have Asus and MSI brands.
In fact, the RX 6800 and RX 6800 XT public version cards that were on the market before are also the same, they were discontinued early, and they were all one-off deals.
Australian retailer Mwave has made it clear before that the RX 6000 series of public version cards will only be produced in one batch, and will be gone when sold out, and will not be restocked.
Scott Herkelman, AMD’s global vice president of Radeon Gaming Products, confirmed three weeks ago that the production of the RX 6000 series of public cards will only continue until the beginning of 2021, but it now seems to end early.
AIB graphics card manufacturers, OEM manufacturers, SI system integrators and other channels may be able to get a certain number of RX 6000 series public version cards in the future, that is, those that have been produced but have not been shipped, but the number will definitely be extremely limited.
The next focus is naturally on the non-public version products, but for the RX 6900 XT is slightly more complicated, it may not be available for every one. At present, only ASUS and ASRock have announced their own non-public version RX 6900 XT. Talk about price and time to market.
As a result, both the public and non-public versions of the RX 6900 XT will become a scarce thing, especially if you are lucky enough to get the public version, it is definitely an out-of-print collection.
