Camp out Wednesday night/Thursday morning for a 6700XT?

nburckhard

Good afternoon,

Is it safe to say camping out Wednesday night will be a good bet at getting my hands on a 6700XT on launch day? My local store is in Sharonville Ohio which is about 2.5 hours from Fort Knox.

Thank you.

Greetings. From the turnouts that was present at other launches, I'd expect this to be something that you will not get one if you show up at the store when it opens in the morning. I'd imagine that there will be several who will be camping out at each store. We haven't heard anything about stock count or the amount of inventory we are expecting unfortunately.

Wednesday night sounds safe. Will probably vary store to store. I'll be heading there sometime after midnight

Any new info? I live in Syracuse New York and the closest micro center to me is 4 hours in different directions. The Philli, PA or the Patterson NJ one I’d be going to the night before. But if there’s already lines or if those stores aren’t getting them then I’d like to find out before driving 8 hours round trip

@Fxzo every store will have the 6700XT. We recommend to choose which store you'll want to drive too and get to the store as early as possible (2-3 hours or more) before they open on the 18th or the line starts.

Good luck!

@TSTDavey I was successful in getting my hands on a thic boy rx6700xt. Drove 4 hours from Syracuse NY to the PA store. Got there at 1 am, sat outside in line till 5 am, then back outside from 7-7:15 to hear the voucher announcement from the staff member, back in my car till 8, then in line from 8-9 with 20 people prior to 8, and as soon as 8 am hit everyone started lining up like moths to a light. Not to bad of extra bs to get a card for msrp. Just wish I lived closer to a MC location 🙃. Hopefully this goes back to normal soon so everyone can get the gpu they want for msrp

Congratz on getting your 6700XT and I applaud your patience when it comes to you getting your card. Thank you for posting your story on getting the card as well, as I am sure others are looking for details on getting their own 6700XT and are unsure what the buying experience is like.

Fxzo

Thank you! And no problem. Figured someone could use the info next launch, if the 6600xt really is a thing, to help them in some way. This card is literally perfect for what I do and play on a daily basis.

@Fxzo I'm glad you got a card.
