@Ploddles I was able to get a 6800 from newegg. A Gigabyte OC model for $680 + tax (too much but the quality of the PCB and heatsink are great). No luck with any of the XT models.
With the lack of MacOS support and the good power rating (around 200W) decided to put it in my Node 202 mini itx console replacing the Nvidia rtx 2070 there - my TV/living room gaming console. The Node202 got a 5800X too which I managed to snag at a local Microcenter so it's quite the beast now.
Immediate deshroud + 2 exhaust fans = temperatures in the 60s under heavy load. Amazing gaming GPU for power budget systems. Will now have to test with a fancy visual game like Cyberpunk2077.
