Similar to previous deals on 6700xt, but they have expired. This is Dual OC version.

Then they can continue to sit on shelves ;)
This gen is nearly 2 years old, these prices may be good compared to the last 2 years, but these prices won't be good in a few months when they are last gen.
I would wait for $399 for this one, if it goes to that in the next month.
prices undisclosed, release might end up getting delayed again, wouldnt count on 40 series being some magic saviour
I don't think it will be, but I do think the speculation will pull current gen pricing down more.
We haven't seen the majority of dumping by miners yet either. Most seem to be keeping them for the moment.
If/when they rest of them sell, that'll impact the second hand market enough to alter new prices too.
You won't see a 30% price drop in one month, next gen won't even be out then let alone generally available. Even then they'll be way more expensive.
Next gen isn't going to magically take GPU prices back 5 years.
The faster vendors beat competition pricing, the more likely they will get rid of inventory as the pricing will be the best it's been yet.
It's a race to the bottom.
3060 ti has dropped $30 in several months
It's not just next gen. It's the massive oversupply of this gen, too many next-gen wafer orders, the crypto crash, miners offloading cards, global recession, etc…
I think we are on a good spot to hodl a bit longer.
Not buying them will though. They're still selling day by day because the majority buying them are hardware illiterate.
60 is low 70 is mid 80 is high. That's all they think. Then they go home and play dota2/fortnite lol.
IMO $500 would be a realistic drop in the next month. Had a look at past 5700 XT deals as a comparison. Did not see any much lower than about $500 even just before and after RTX3000 and RX6000 launch.
I feel like $400 is possible but a bit ambitious. Maybe by end of year, but I don’t think in the next few months.
5700xt is still going very strong. When the 7700xt is released you'll pay in full for every bit of additional performance over this one, just like last release.
I doubt prices will go much lower but we can always hope.
If AMD is also set to launch their highest end models first come next-gen; then It will take a few more months at the very least for cards of this class to be superseded. The prices going down will depend on the announcement.
AMD maybe looking at 7700XT, 7800 and 7900 all at the same time.. Nvidia will most likely follow if they dont they will lose sales and they wont let that happen due the the drop they have had already… its not looking good for them.. they need a quarter with high sales numbers to keep their stock from tanking
I doubt either of them will release mid/upper range cards at least for the next few months. There's already strong rumours that only the AD102 card aka 4090 series is releasing this year, as AIBs are getting pretty mad about potentailly being left holding the bag with warehouses full of Ampere to get rid of.
How is that AMD's problem ?? .. AMD will release whatever they want and if Nvidia wants to delay.. they will pay the price with less sales
When does the every-other-day-price stop becoming a deal and becomes the normal pricing?
Looking to upgrade from vega 56. Should I wait or is this a noticable upgrade?
It's a noticable upgrade but poor value compared to other deals that have been around. The 6700xt should really be under $500ish
Looks like it's $699 in the WA branches. Odd.
With GPU do they first come in big size and after few years they make the same card in a smaller size? Or do they make all the sizes at the same time?
Typically NVIDIA / AMD develop and release a new architecutre every 18 to 24 months and that comes in a few processor variations. NVIDIA's last architecture (Ampere) had three different processors (GA102, GA104, and GA106). When NVIDIA released their first Ampere graphics card, it was using their most powerful processor they had, 2 months later they released a GPU using their middle tier processor, 2 months after that they released a graphics card using their weakest processor from that architecture.
Each of those processors are made up of billions of transistors, when each processor is 'etched' there are numerous mistakes that could prevent it from working. To help with this, the transistors are bundled into cores, and modern GPUs have many hundred of cores. Each processor after fabrication is scanned to look for mistakes, they can then find the cores with mistakes in and disable them. They will create tiers where they will disable a % of the cores, whether they are faulty or not. So the initial release of a processor might have 2 variants, with say 8% and 16% of there cores disabled, later as the understanding of the architecture and fabrication process improves, they'll release newer models with fewer cores disabled, such as 5% and 10% and also make them run at faster clock speeds, they might call those variants the Ti versions.
They sell these GPUs to AIBs to make their own graphics cards, like the MSI or Zotac. They then choose what kind of board and cooling solution they want to use with the processors, so MSI might choose to overclock the CPU, pair it with a large cooler and charge a few hundred more, while Zotac may make no discernable changes from NVIDIAs default board layout, pair with a small cooler, and charge a base price for the graphics card.
ya so same model but still producing them in other forms years later
In this situation, I think it is more of a case that this model will just run hotter and possibly noisier than a larger 3 fan option.
Do you mean physical size? It really depends on a number of things including what's physically possible with the significant cooling limitations. Are you looking for an ITX/HTPC card? The higher tier you go in GPU the less likely you can expect to see a small form board variant ever released. The higher performance cards very rarely ever see a smaller version as they'd have to compromise performance so much that it'd be more logical to just use a lower powered GPU in the first place.
Umart currently has the Asrock 6600 Challenger ITX for $339 - https://www.umart.com.au/product/asrock-amd-radeon-rx-6600-c…
ya like I swear they have like the same model but first are massively big like 2 fans big… then they make a low profile version which is significantly smaller and this is like 2 years later same specs just smaller. Is that true or just me?
nah it's just you.
Graphic card has been increasing in size in the past few generation. With each generation it has become somewhat bigger than last gen's model, and you are "not used to the size" when it just came out. Years after when you are "used to the size" and see a normal sized card you'd think it's small ——- that's what she says.
Also the top tier model (with larger cooler) come out earlier than low tier models. which can make you feel the size is gradually getting smaller.
@OMGJL: nah not like that . I know newer cards are always bigger but I think they make them smaller too same model different size
for example geforce 1650 came chucky and then there was another one came out but low profile and much smaller
I swear it was couple of year later that this happened and old card specs
@Poor Ass: I think this will give you a good indication of what and why made you think the card is getting smaller.
You might saw a gaming OC, then later saw a OC model.
For those card that doesn't have a 2nd revision, they remain exactly the same.
@OMGJL: have you ever seen cards that were made big and then couple year later they make the same card but smaller as it was popular by demand?
@Poor Ass: They can down size in Rev2.0 or Rev3.0, and it have happened. But they cannot downsize Rev1.0 out of blue.
Same with ASUS model, they can have a Dual OC and a Dual(non-OC) with almost identical product code that are slightly different physically.
But no, if the model number is the same, the card is always the same, cuz legal reasons.
Hard to believe this constitutes a deal to some people. I wouldn't pay $500 for this shit
think a bunch of the low end cards are hitting a price floor and stagnating, including the 3060 ti thats still expensive….
