I had an hour as usual but stuck with it and actually got down to 15 minutes left before they sold out. Was the longest queue I've been in that sustained stock :yep:

Using queue buster I was able to get a 6800XT yesterday too. I had two good tickets one was less than a minute but ended up erroring out with a reject message and the other one got me in under 2 minutes.

Prices overall are dropping as can be seen for AIB models on nowinstock. Probably several factors at work here. Demand dropping due to upcoming models, the ethereum merge getting closer taking pressure off supply from miners and overall supply possibly picking up a bit.
 
Micro Center - Price Drops on Video Cards! $1,049.99 MSI RX 6900XT

Micro Center - Price Drops on Video Cards! $1,049.99 MSI RX 6900XT

Price Drops on Video Cards! $1,049.99 MSI RX 6900XT - Our lowest Price ever!

Received the following email from Micro Center. Paying $1049.99 after rebate is only $50 above MSRP and reasonable for a non-reference partner board (all things considered). So, I went ahead and purchased the damn thing. Just wanted to share for anyone else who may be interested. Ymmv depending on your location, of course.

Solid price for the card. Enjoy

I think sales are slowing down drastically due to the rising price of... Everything, especially with COVID lockdowns ending and summer coming. People aren't trying to spend $1500 on an overpriced GPU when they can use that to do something else.
 
Good point. I think there's several reasons for the price drop.

What is typical to pay over a reference design? Hasn't it always been around $100-200 over depending on the model?

Seems like $1050 is definitely a good deal to me and basically a 'normal' non-inflated price.

Thanks! And I agree with both of you.

Although, I have to say that I'm not at all happy about current prices. At the same time, I understand the supply & demand problem over the past two years. I'm just saying, MSRP pricing without the shortage isn't cool either. While inflation is to be expected, AMD and Nvidia have gotten beside themselves. Double performance doesn't necessarily equate to twice the price. There's no way that GPU's should cost $1000+ when just a few years ago damn good rigs were built in their entirety for ~$1500.
  • CPU: $350
  • MB: $150
  • RAM: $75
  • GPU: $500
  • PSU: $175
  • Case: $75
  • Monitor: $175
Sure, $25 could easily be added to each of those prices, but it still wouldn't be too far off from the normal MSRP for just one GPU from certain manufacturers. I find that really unfortunate.

I don't feel the same pride or excitement for this enthusiastic hobby I did just as recent as 5 years ago. I used to be super stoked to have all of the parts for an entire build laid out in front of me. Between sales and discounts, I would feel great about the overall price, sometimes even in disbelief for all the stuff I got as $1500/$1600 went a long way. Now, I just feel angry and robbed.

With the manufacturers well aware that we're willing to spend more, they've doubled-down on higher prices. So, while I do consider the price I paid to be reasonable in the grand scheme of things, I can't help but feel like I've contributed to the problem.

Anyway, I know I'm preaching to the choir as we all pretty much feel the same, but being an enthusiast sure isn't as fun as it used to be. We've all worked too damn hard to get shafted like this.

I paid 10% more than reference card for an after market card which I thought was reasonable as that's what I usually pay. TBH my experience with AMD reference cards is not good so 10% more is fine by me. I've never owned an Nvidia reference card so can't comment.

Prices on existing cards might be dropping because they want to clear the inventory channel of old cards before they launch the new ones which might still be very expensive if the performance rumours are true. We'll soon see..
 
Yah I don't think there was much inventory to 'clear' since demand never really let up until just recently. Stuff was usually out of stock and if it was there it was overpriced. I think they're just now able to get caught up since demand has started to slack off.

Its telling when more than half the Canadian population think they're about $200 dollars away from bankruptcy......

But eff it...buy that thing with money you dont have...YOLO amirite?
 
Its dropped a bit since then but its still averaging 2000 CAD for an AIB 6900... Still too rich for my blood but playing CP 2077 on the vega 64 is a bit touchy at 1440p. Really looking forward to the 7000's and some more price drops.

Newegg has $1499 one now, Asrock. Getting a bit better but USD to CAD should be 1300$ max and prices should be below MSRP so close to next gen.
 
I don't disagree at all and it's, at least partially, why I remain uninterested

It helps that my 6600XT has been perfectly ok for my needs :D
 
Ya my Vega 64 is really showing its age. CP 2077 at 1440p is marginal I need to reduce some more graphical options... tho many options from low to ultra do little for extra fps. Its often like 1% to 3%... If we had some crazy good sale and retail availability of next gen was pushed to 1st quarter 2023... maybe...
