The RX 68 XT were launched on November 18, 2020, but due to low stock availability, sold out at most retailers that day. Much like Nvidia's competing GeForce 30 series, releases sold out almost immediately due to a combination of low stock and scalping bots. They also lack GPU-accelerated video encoding features offered by the higher models. These cards support only 4 PCIe lanes (albeit at PCIe 4.0 speeds), which can bottleneck performance on low-end machines lacking PCIe 4.0.
