Hello, Red Team!

As you may know, we, the Community Management Team, have been looking to share the PAX East experience beyond the conference as much as possible. During the event, we held a few raffles, and offered our fans the opportunity to buy an AMD Radeon^TM RX 6000 series graphics card at MSRP!

To start, we brought back two limited-edition AMD Radeon^TM RX 6900 XT Halo Infinite Graphics Cards. You can win one by entering the current Red Team Monthly Sweepstakes or the Rig of the Month Contest.

Now, after a few discussions with our colleagues, I’m thrilled to inform you that you have the opportunity to purchase an AMD Radeon^TM RX 6700 XT, AMD Radeon^TM RX 6800, or AMD Radeon^TM RX 6800 XT – which are no longer available to the general public on AMD.com – at MSRP!”

Here is how it works:

• You must be a registered member of the Red Team Community.
  • If you aren’t, you can sign up now.
• Similar to PAX East, the opportunity to purchase is based on a first-come-first-served basis and subject to product availability.
• If you are interested you must fill out the form by clicking on the link below.
• If you receive the opportunity to make a purchase, you will be sent an email with your credentials and instructions on how to place your order within a specific time window. The email will include:
  • The product you have selected to purchase based on availability.
  • A unique, non-transferable, URL to place your order online.
  • A unique, non-transferable, login information.
  • The specific time window, and deadline, for you to log in and complete the purchase.

Important notes:

• You will have the chance to rank the product you are looking to purchase as your first, second, or third choice. For example, you can select the AMD Radeon^TM RX 6800 XT as your first choice and the AMD Radeon^TM RX 6800 as your second choice, and the AMD Radeon^TM 6700 XT as your third. In case your first choice is sold out, you will have the opportunity to buy your second choice and so on.  
• We’ve allocated a few GPUs for this opportunity so if you are interested, please act now!
• Shipping options will be available at check-out.  
• One product per person.
• This offer is open to members in the US, Canada, Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden.
• You will have until Wednesday, June 15^th at 5:00 pm CST to register for the opportunity to purchase one of these GPUs at MSRP.

Yes! I'm interested in the opportunity to buy a graphics card!

Is there any chance a person could have the opportunity to buy multiple cards?

Maybe if there wasn't enough demand? I'm in need of some GPUs to get my gaming LAN back running 🙂

[Darkfox]

Very nice, but maybe this kind of sale could have been started 1 year ago. That would have been an effective step against the scalper and would have saved me many pointless months where I thought on Thursdays I could acquire a card on normal way in the drop with all the bots around me

[Sam_AMD]

Hi @Darkfox 

You've made a good point. As mentioned in the OP, our goal here is to extend or share some of the experiences from PAX East on to you, those that couldn't make the conference. 

Thank you for joining Red Team! 

[John-Prevette]

What sucks worse than not getting something for a year is to get to the point where you finally get one and you feel special and then you see the product fall hundreds of dollars below list (think CPUs) or there is product just sitting around on the site, aka RX 6900 XT.

[Sam_AMD]

Hi Red5, I hear you! For this special opportunity, only one product per person.

[ryzen_speed]

No you cant get two!! , read the page it strictly said 1 product per person ...

• One product per person.

[KnuckenFutz]

Awesome...  maybe I can finally upgrade from my NITRO+ Radeon RX VEGA64

 

[CharlieDontSurf66]

Well currently I'm runnin' a Sapphire Radeon 5700XT Nitro +, but one of those 6800XT's would be soooooo bloody spectacular ! Gives me shivers.. Arrggghhh ... 😁

[KnuckenFutz]

indeed... one would pair nicely with the 5900X sitting here without home yet

[KnuckenFutz]

...  had given up after a year of Thursday's

[y2jsi]

Felt the same way. Every Thursday came and gone empty handed until recently.

[Dragokar]

@Sam_AMDAre you allowed to share how many got invited or is this closed?

[simiondolha]

I've got an invite to buy 6700xt but I don't need this. I need 6800xt. 

[Dragokar]

You could buy it and give it to a good friend, I have many guys that would be happy about it, but they refused to pay above MSRP. I would buy it for them and only charge what I would have paid. I did this several times in the past, and that is what friends are for.

*disclaimer* This is not for scalping, just real friends!

[Sam_AMD]

Hi @Dragokar 

Great question. I can't. I'll get in trouble if I were to do so - I hope you understand. 

[Dragokar]

Of course, I do understand it, would be nice to know, but I can see why u don't disclose this. No, I am not mad about it or that I didn't got a mail 😉 Cheers!

[haadschi]

Awesome… maybe finally the opportunity to catch the awesome 6800 xt

does one get a buy link instantly after sign up?

[KnuckenFutz]

I don't think they would go out until after the 15th?  Not sure

[Sam_AMD]

Hi @KnuckenFutz 

It depends on when you fill out the form and on availability. Plus, it's based on a first-come-first-served. The sooner you fill-out the form the better. So, assume you are interested, and fill-out the form, and if it's your turn in the queue, we'll get the process started by sending you the email with all the details. And based on your preferred shipping method, you could get the GPU fairly quickly. 

[Sam_AMD]

@haadschi hello! 

Not instantly. The first step is to fill out the form we've created for this special opportunity. When done, and based on availability, you will receive an email with all the details and next steps. 

[y2jsi]

This is awesome! Big AMD fan here. Built an AMD rig for my dad, my niece and myself. Just got a 5900x processor, upgrading from a 3800x, and a sweet 6900xt GPU! Trying to upgrade my niece’s RX 570 GPU! Good luck everyone!

[blazek]

Woah, awesome!

[infotree]

Thank you for the opportunity, currently running MSFS with my RX 590 Nitro + I would love a 6 series upgrade to push the settings to Ultra and enjoy the world in its glory.

[zo77]

Let's see if i have a chance. Tried Thursdays for over a year with no luck 😞

[Pepe1]

Thanks for the offer. It is a good opportunity to improve the GPU.

[Key-J]

Amazing @Sam_AMD people are going to walk away super happy from this post, see just another benefit of being a Red Team Community member!

[ripcord]

My wife Says I can't buy any more GPU's for a wile! 😆

[duk3]

Thank you very much for this opportunity. Replacing my Vega56 with the RX 6800 XT unicorn really would be a miracle after one disappointing thursday after another... 🙂

[GreatnessRD]

That's pretty dope AMD is droppin' these. A 6800 XT at $650 is Chef's kiss. 

[feris]

Shut up and take my money 😀😁😍

[joebangles]

Dang! Now I've put brakes to the latest build in order to wait for this sweet deal to come through 🤤.... registered Saturday, so my chances are probably low, but hey! worth a wait! No email today . . .😔

[joebangles]

after re-reading this, people have until 6/15/22 to get in the queue-- AMD will probably start to unwind the queue after the door is closed on new applications

[KnuckenFutz]

Sure hope that's the case, I'm all giddy with anticipation

[Sam_AMD]

Good morning, Everyone! 

Please be sure to check out the OP. I just added a few bullet points covering the submission period now being over, a notification email being sent on June 17th to those of you who responded first, and the time window to purchase the graphics card. 

Thank You Red Team! 

[red5]

My birthday just happens to be Saturday, so maybe I'll get lucky!  (although I still have to pay for it, so I'm not sure if that counts as a birthday 'present')

[Sam_AMD]

Happy 'early' B-Day @red5

[Dragokar]

For now, no Mail for me. Anyone got lucky here?

[zo77]

Well, no email for me either 😞

[Sloerhoofd]

I also didn't receive an e-mail.

Are they late or did I do something wrong?
