Nice...i hope it costs a more reasonable 800 dollars vs the 1000+ for the upper ones......
$399 for the XT which I think is bogus. A good chance to hit a home run is to sell for $360 XT and $320 non XT.

Looks like its gonna be $379...right in the middle between your bogus and home run predictions.
I guess that means its...fine?
so in your scenario a 6600 non XT might be 350ish?

I wish its cheaper....it just seems like its always MSRP higher than it should....then theres the current situation of markup on top of that.....ugh.
I remember you can get a good card for 300 bucks not too long ago but the same tier of card nowadays....is like double that.....
I feel like if i can get one of these at its MSRP price before the markups take over...i should just pull the trigger and do it.
Its still likely going to be higher than i'd want to pay for it but it might still be another year or so for prices to drop back down to normal levels.

Watch LTT video. Only so much that can be done about it as allot of this is outside of their control.
Watch the LLT video. This is what happens when almost every element of what goes into a card has gone nutters. There is nothing anyone can do about this till the cost of component parts, metals etc go back down.
Non-issue for consoles. They bought and negotiated pricing for those components ages ago before any of this happened.
If I can get one at a decent price it's as good a match for me as the 3060 was that I was previously considering(if not better, as AMD has less driver overhead issues than nVidia, an problem for me till I upgrade). It's just not an exciting card.

In normal times it would be a meh card, but these are far from normal times. If it actually sells at MSRP in volume it will be a huge seller.
People are strangely hung up on reference MSRP comparisons when the reality is AIB cards are selling for hundreds over reference, and that's if you are one of the few who manages to buy one at retail since scalped prices are even worse.

Looks like another crappy release.
Not sure who this card is for either.

Agree. Hard to believe we're well into August now and reference cards at msrp are still extremely difficult to obtain. These companies were telling us back in January that stock levels would be better in April.
I guess you can find 6800 cards in stock all over the place now and that's an improvement? The problem is, they're all 1200+ bucks lol. Maybe that has come down a bit, they used to be closer to 1600.

That applies to everything each generation....
besides this doesnt replace the 5700, it replaces the 5600....the naming structure clearly indicates this.
just checked a local computer store....yup these things cost the same as a high end card from a couple years ago (500+ CAD) when it should be the mid-range pricing (250-300+ CAD).....
