Stock available again! Just purchased one.
This card is with a high-end 6900xt XTXH chip. In my opinion, it is a worthy purchase.
**According to buildzoid, this is one of the best 6900xt out there. **( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wx6zKGfOuZU )
This card also has the highest input capacitance and high-quality SMD capacitors.
Oops! I copied the description from my previous MSI 6900xt deal. Now fixed.
Far out a fairly top of the wazza 6900 for $1250?! Isn't this the absolute cheapest we've seen any 6900?
It's a tad above my budget, but I'm hoping this means we can get some more midrange 6900 cards for closer to $1100…
unfortunatelly, time moves on, and the world goes around off the majority.
at the point of time, yes it is a deal. but in general, yeah i agree with you, GPUs, phones are just golds.
Corporatism aint good!
If it wasn't for mining trust me they'd be worthless. Maybe a gpu is their "house" and they receive a sense of satisfaction when others miss out because they missed out on a house lol
My monitor cost less. Just because you don't get it does not make it wrong or less relevant. Mining pushed the prices up, this isn't a mining card, there is better for less money.
@beeze: Because you're being price gouged for gpu like petrol. That's how they align
I'm in market for a gpu lol. Miners & avocado inflaters like yourself need to get off this site. This is a bargain site not an inflation site. Lets be clear you are the alt
@Jimmy77: Welcome to Supply & Demand, shame you didn't get a better education on this. With the limited supply and a high demand, the prices with them have gone up. Situation has recently changed with international demand decreasing causing GPU prices to decrease.
Things are only worth what people are willing to pay for them.
You have issues
I have to agree with @Pugkin. Coming into every AMD deal spouting vitriol against Western society, and threatening people with bans, on top of misinformation about card design choices (e.g. bus bandwidth obsession), leaves a very sour taste.
@MiniMyna: I've been calling out disinformation. A lot of people bought Asrock 6600xt and get personally offended when I point out 128 bit memory with infinity cache is a bottleneck compared to nvidia's 256 bit memory.
They also offended when I point out asrock is a budget brand. Unfortunately they just don't like facts and could be 10 years old for all I know.
@Jimmy77: Everyone is certainly entitled to debate their point of view. If I were a mod I'd be saying "keep it friendly, yeah?".
@MiniMyna: Depends on the mod. If he's a miner he'd delete my comment. If he's a mod he'd see pudkins comment as a personal attack
@Jimmy77: Maybe educate yourself better before trying to dispel disinformation. The GPUs have a 128-bit bus. All GPUs have a bottleneck somewhere in the system, what matters is the actually performance for dollars. The 32MB Infinity Cache is utilized to reduce the load on the 128-bit bus, which in some circumstances it is highly effective and in others it is close to useless.
I'd go by results on benchmark tests and $ per fps for a more useful test on a GPU usefulness.
I mean it's a flagship gpu, with a large die on a small node, all of which really boosts price. Also lots of vram.
Yeah prices are still a bit high, but absolutely everything has gone up a lot. Houses, even a damn packet of chips is like $6.50 now…from what $3.5 12mo ago?
Prices aren't high they're beyond extortionate. There's a difference.
How much was GTX 590 compared to 3090?
Or $950 1080ti and it's performance gap relative to it's gen. That's a real flagship card. This is slower than 3080ti.
You're being ripped and are happily accepting it. Most people wouldn't accept it if they couldn't mine it back. The prices are supplemented by crypto
it is neck and neck with the 3080ti and the 3080ti came out a year later and costs significantly more. This is a great card for the dollars in todays market and is about as expensive as 1080ti was once you account for inflation. I wish prices were lower but the chip shortage combined with mining created the shortage. Even without those two items occuring it wouldn't be that much cheaper than this.
@gromit: Fair call I'd say it's end of line and should be slightly cheaper. But ye price isn't my concern
Seeing people celebrate this price in comments is another thing. It's messed up they would celebrate a $50 carton of eggs. Go on forum comments and it's like "I remember when top tier gpu was $500".
Not these people. As you can see they celebrate before complain. Makes me sick
@Jimmy77: yeah I don't celebrate the price. But nor do I subscribe to the silly statements like "I remember when top tier gpu's were $500 so this is a rip off", I also remember when I used to pay 40 cents for a pack of chips at school. Prices go with inflation and that is without taking into account today's GPU's contain literally 10 times the transistor count of for instance a GTX 590.
hopefully prices will come back to sane levels were a price like this doesn't even deserve a post, but that is still many months away at a minimum.
You were still paying $1000 for a 2080 and even up to $2000 for 2080Ti's and they launched as part of the 2018 decline.
Eth and crypto was largely stagnant when 3000 series launched.
There is no debate that mining has impacted current gen card prices, but the trend has been going up for a long time. You're not getting a flagship again for sub 1K. Those days are gone and you'll cave and buy a new card before they ever come back because things are only worth what people will pay. Plenty of gamers especially at launch happily paid $1100 - $1300 for their 3080's and $1499 for their 6900xts etc.
@Osiris: its inevitable they will jack prices considering how long they last, which is fine in the sense that people that can afford it can pay more to support the companies
but it just sends a wrong message when these 'deals' keep getting posted, like flagships are insanely bad value, and going by the posts here its almost like everybody has one, where as if you check steam stats you'll get a diff picture.
you hardly need one to enjoy pc gaming, most of the best titles are made in the past and can be enjoyed fully on a budget gpu.
i suppose its still better value by a mile compared to some of the other overpriced junk that frequents this website, airpods are probably #1 on my list
@abctoz: I think the horse has bolted on that when people were upvoting expensive deals just because it was in stock.
Ultimately this price is actually less than the launch price and cheapest we've seen in like 12+ months so there is some basis for this to be a deal.
If people look at a price to performance chart and are happy with how it stacks up who are you to say they’re wrong? Get a life
yeah, but that extra 6G VRM to some ppl worth way more than that few %fps loss in SOME games.
mining is just such a minor part of the equation, let alone this is the wrost card to mine. chip shortage, the whole covid thing, it all adds up.
War in Ukraine, huge proliferation around the world of child pornography, domestic violence at all time highs, drug cartels in Mexico, and this is the hill you want to die on?
I don't think anyone of these people own a house. They've essentially declared war on frugality and admitted if their wage goes up they'll just pay the difference in goods.
It's easy to see why they don't own house. $2000 48 inch to go with rtx 3080. overspecced cpu $1200 (5950x). Then complain houses too expensive lol. Fact is whatever they earn they'll waste on rubbish (in this case hardware). That's how their brains are wired.
They make others rich and pretend they're rich. The elite gaming rig gives some of them a sense of prestige. Prestige in being the ultimate consumer.
You spout your opinion like it is fact, it isn't, and you just repeatedly spout disinformation.
My house rose in price over 30% in the past 5 years, how does someone not in the housing market compete with that? How does spending a few thousand compare with an increase in many hundreds of thousands in house prices?
How does house owners such as myself purchasing items like these fit in your perspective? Better yet, don't tell me.
My 5900X cost under $600, 48” Gigabyte OLED cost $1000
You forgot global warming!!!
@Jimmy77 Have you been living under a rock?
It’s the result of inflation (aka your cash is losing value!)
I’ve almost owned every gfx card since voodoo 3 era! I paid $500-600 a mid range voodoo 3, That was 20+ years ago!
A $1000 top end card today is only about 50 more% than a top end card 20 yrs ago!
Divide 50% by 20 years = 2.5% increase per year!
That’s actually CHEAP considering real inflation in the last 2 years alone for most household items is closer to 50%!
No I've owned gpu since FX5200.
More like were you born after 2006 lol. There's been crypto cycle since 2010. I don't expect people born after it all to understand the outrage.
How can I be born after 2006 if I bought a voodoo 3 more than 20 years ago?
You should lay off the drugs! 😂😂😂
@neosin: I reported their personal attack. They are very provocative and passionate about non-important issues.
Omg I remember voodoo 3!!
is a 750w corsar power supply good enough for this card? with a 5800x ryzen 7 I think i would need to upgrade my power to 850w
You will be fine
Well, it is enough, not efficient though.
i would suggest wait until next month before buying this… i am 99.99% certain this card will go around $1100 if not $1000 range..
I'd probably go rx6600 for $350 at this rate. There's too many people willing too pay too much money this gen.
That's if there is still stock
based on what?
people have been predicting massive drops, this is already below RRP.
Until new cards are available, I don't see these significant drops coming, just more creep
damn, gone
It's like watching a $50 carton of eggs get cleaned out in 10min
Back in low stock
wow really? That's a shady tactic by the retailer
I assume when people put the card into their cart, BPC reserves it on their stock system. When they don't checkout in time the site releases stock again for others to buy.
As mentioned in other posts about this card. It has the highest GPU junction temperature due to the ineffective cooler design, reaching over 102c. Kitguru found that it's 5c hotter than a reference 6900xt, and 11c warmer than the next custom 6900xt in terms of temperature. Only a custom waterblock from Bykski was able to keep the GPU junction temp under control.
Is that a negative that would more than offset the gain of it being XTXH?
It is a bad design, since the heat pipe cool the core also touch 2 out of 8 VRAM module, causing heat from core to heat up VRAM
Available again…
Finally!!! Been waiting for a MSI Gaming Trio 6800XT or 6900XT @$1250 or less for ages!
Trigger finally pulled… thanks OP just got one! This is CCCCHHHHHHHHEEEEEEAAAAPPPPPPP!!!!!!!
It should get cheaper
I get that it will always get cheaper if you wait longer, that's a given. But if you need one right now, this is cheap… and won't be cheaper for a while.
sure, will EOL likely this year.
So, another moth, 3, 6?
Can't pull the trigger knowing RDNA 3 and 40xx series are just around the corner with most likely a 50% performance increase
sure, if you are lucky enough to get one at a reasonable price. The reality though is the next gen is always just around the corner. Personally I stopped chasing the top end and instead work out what I need fps and resolution wise for my monitors and then see which cards meet my specs at the best price. This gen it was a powercolor fighter 6800 for me (only have a 1440p monitor) which I managed to snag post release before the price rises.
Crying with my 3060 Ti
paid 1999$ for a 6800xt 🤬 (to be fair, after selling my mined and abused 3080 for 2100)
GPUs are so vital to Australians now - I do think it needs to be included in the CPI basket of essentials.
They could price them at $10,000 each and people would still gobble them up like hotcakes.
Apparently EOL, assume clearing stock as MSI now focused on next gen (and pumping out the cheaper models for much same price).
Cheap price but too much 🧂.
Does anyone have some 🍟?
If you wanted similar performance for less and don't mind ex-demo: https://www.ple.com.au/Products/652283/EX-DEMO-XFX-Radeon-RX…
What a humble OP. Only other 6900xt I could find was for $1265 pickup or $1269 incl shipping.
