Yes, but Asrock X299 Creator, MSI X299 PRO and Asrock X299 Creator are refresh mobos ( that should state issue with new mobos) , MSI X299 A-PRO, MSI X299 Raider or SLI are previous version.
This is true - but then @TheBloke has a working Gigabyte X299X Designare which is also a refresh and so is the X299 A-Pro I believe is also a refresh board and then there's @Inwndow who has the same problem with an X299 Gaming Pro Carbon which is not a refresh... ? hmmm has me tied in knots!
And me at the 12 min remaining / quick second reboot. I do believe the 12 min remaining is a red herring as Catalina does the exact same thing on my system before a successful install. My system DSDT is attached. MSI Gaming Pro Carbon
@oli.mathieu Hopefully we can resolve this install problem before all these events happen: Apple releases 11.1, Opencore supports all the new big navi cards, and anyone of us manages to get a hold of the new GPUI'm still asking the same thing
I have a 6800 coming tomorrow or Tuesday. I really wanted the 6800XT but I couldn't get one, but did manage to get a 6800.
Lucky you! Hope Whatevergreen will enable the HW acceleration with Navi 21 Where's the best place to "click and pray" for one of these AIB cards?
That is exactly why I'm pressing to get Big Sur up and running! Big Navi purchase as soon as I can get my hands on one but I've got this hurdle to jump first

Depends where you live?
Oh, and pay by debit/credit card if you can, instead of Paypal. I learned that Paypal orders can take 10+ minutes to get confirmed as paid, and the site may use the 'paid' time as your place in the queue, not the time you actually completed checkout. But at $1000 MSRP, that's a bit too rich for me..
Thanks @TheBloke! I'm from Tejas... and was clicking away at amd.com last Wednesday: it went from "Page not available" to sold out in a flashDepends where you live?
I'm in the UK, and I got my 6800 from Overclockers.co.uk. They're charging more than MSRP; I paid £600 for the 6800, which is the suggested price of the XT! I was within 3 minutes of getting the XT last Wednesday - people who ordered around 14:30 got them, my order at 14:33 did not. They had major technical problems that caused their site to go down repeatedly, and the cards not to even appear on the lists for many people (me included for a long time). It was so bad that they didn't actually receive any orders until 14:20, despite putting the cards live at 14:00. Then their system didn't automatically take the order button down, so they took something like 1000 orders when they only had 100-200 cards. I was one who managed to place an order and so thought I might get a card, only to get a refund some hours later.
But the upshot of all that chaos was that they ended up disabling ordering before they'd sold all the 6800s, so they put some back on sale the next day, Thursday, and only announced it in their forum, which is how I got one.
Apparently a lot of people have managed to get one direct from amd.com. You can check that site wherever you live in the world. It doesn't even list the 6800s whenever I go look, but apparently if they're available to buy, they will show up and you can order from them direct.
AIBs will go live at 14:00 local time on Wednesday 25th. So be ready for then, have a bunch of possible sites open, get an auto-refresh script running on each site, and hope to have a lot of luck
Note however that overclockers.co.uk said that although they'd go on sale on Wednesday 25th, they wouldn't actually have any stock until end Nov or early Dec. So even if you do get lucky, there will probably be a 1-3 week wait. I don't know if that applies to all retailers or just some.
Of course there's also the 6900XT on the 9th
Will try bestbuy and neweggon Wednesday!
