🖥️ How to Buy the New Radeon Graphics Card

Introduction: Hey there, folks! In this video, I'll be showing you how to get your hands on the latest Radeon graphics card that has been making waves in the tech community. After the success of my previous tutorial on purchasing an RTX 3070, many of you reached out to me asking for help with the new Radeon release. So, let's dive right in and go over what has changed since then and how you can snag this powerful GPU.

Overview of the Radeon Graphics Card: Before we get into the nitty-gritty of the buying process, let's take a quick look at the new Radeon graphics card that everyone is raving about. The Radeon 6800 XT is the latest addition to the AMD lineup and offers impressive performance at an affordable price. With 16GB of memory, this GPU packs a punch and is perfect for both gaming and demanding creative tasks.

Changes since the Previous Tutorial: If you watched my previous video on buying an RTX 3070, you may have noticed some changes in the process. One significant change is that the website I previously recommended, Uptime Robot, has started charging for its services. This shift occurred shortly after I released the tutorial, resulting in confusion among viewers. However, fear not, as I'll guide you through the updated procedure in this tutorial.

Setting up the Uptime Robot: To monitor the availability of the Radeon graphics card on Best Buy's website, we'll need to set up the Uptime Robot tool. Here's how:

Creating an Alert Contact: Start by navigating to the Uptime Robot website and creating an account, if you haven't already. Once logged in, head over to the "Settings" section and click on "Add Alert Contact." I recommend selecting the "Pro SMS" option for the fastest notification.

Monitoring Up and Down Events: Now, let's configure the monitoring settings. Choose "Up and Down Events" to receive accurate alerts when the graphics card is in stock. This setting ensures that you're notified when the "coming soon" keyword disappears from the product page.

Configuring the Notification Interval: Depending on the version of Uptime Robot you're using, you can adjust the monitoring interval. The free version allows for a refresh every five minutes, while the pro version allows for a one-minute interval. Keep in mind that a shorter interval increases your chances of securing the GPU promptly.

Monitoring the Radeon Graphics Card: With the Uptime Robot set up, it's time to monitor the availability of the Radeon graphics card.

Using the Keyword "gpu amd": To track the Radeon 6800 XT, enter the keyword "gpu amd" into the monitoring tool. This ensures that Uptime Robot precisely detects the product on Best Buy's website.

Specifying the Keyword "Coming Soon": At present, the product page displays "coming soon" when the graphics card is unavailable. Set the keyword as "coming soon" to be alerted when this changes.

Being Aware of Keyword Changes: Best Buy occasionally modifies the keyword displayed on the product page. To avoid false positives, remember to monitor the keyword and adjust it accordingly. As of now, "coming soon" is the appropriate keyword to track.

Activating the Uptime Robot: Once the setup is complete, it's crucial to verify that the Uptime Robot is active.

Verifying the Green Status: Refresh the Uptime Robot page and ensure that the keyword is found, indicated by a green status. This signifies that the tool is correctly tracking the Radeon graphics card.

Receiving Text Notifications: With the monitor activated, you'll receive text notifications as soon as the graphics card's availability status changes. This ensures you are promptly informed about the GPU's availability.

Purchasing the Radeon Graphics Card: Now comes the exciting part—purchasing the highly sought-after Radeon graphics card.

Constantly Tapping "Add to Cart": When the Uptime Robot notifies you that the graphics card is in stock, head to the Best Buy website and incessantly tap the "Add to Cart" button. This action minimizes delays caused by high traffic and automated bots.

Dealing with Error Messages: Throughout the process, you may encounter error messages while attempting to add the graphics card to your cart. Don't be discouraged! Keep persistently adding it, as this is an indication that demand is unusually high.

Completing the Checkout Process: Once successful, proceed to your cart and swiftly complete the checkout process. Be prepared to provide necessary details, such as your email and address, as part of Best Buy's verification process to deter bots.

Conclusion: Congratulations on successfully purchasing the new Radeon 6800 XT graphics card! These steps should help you navigate the often overwhelming process and secure your very own GPU. Remember to keep an eye out for future releases and stay proactive in your quest for tech greatness!
