Why are people downvoting the deal? It's a decent price for a decent 7900xt.
It's kind of irrelevant? Completely different budget tier and performance compared to the 6700xt.
Sold out - to those who picked up the final cards, enjoy
How many 6700xt deals are you going to post ? I’ve seen about 4 so far!
Desperate attempt to clear before it becomes paperweight :^)
Are new cards expected soon?
Soon™
beware gigabyte gpu pcb are known for cracking, and they refuse warranty.

Hard to know at this early stage if this truly is a significant isolated Gigabyte issue
A lot of stuff makes major news before the cause is accurately determined leading to people incorrectly assigning blame (e.g. When the repairer KrisFix encountered a massive number of RX 6000 series GPUs that had their dies completely shattered - idiots started pushing the theory that poor AMD drivers caused these RX 6000 cards to overheat and shatter the silicon die, causing panic)
Later it was determined that these cards all came from two crypto miner operations that likely did a really terrible job of storing them before reselling to people, rather than a widespread issue affecting RX 6000 GPUs from all over the place

Take your pick really, the same warranty issues seem to be an industry-wide issue at present - take ASUS for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7af_LGtD_jc
At least Australia has better warranty protection than in some other countries.
After watching that video, looks like it's mainly happening with nVidia 3000 series cards and not AMD 6000 series, so less applicable to this particular product. That being said, good to know and to keep in mind.
They are trying to sell out the 6700/XT stock before they release the 7700/XT GPUs - kind of means the new GPUs will suck (because AMD does not want you choosing between 6700 / 7700 since you can no longer get 6700 because they are sold out!) ;)
When is 7 series expected? Need to upgrade from my 1070gtx as I just upgraded to a 4K 144Hz monitor but don't mind waiting
Need to do a full build as my CPU is 8 years old as well
4k @ 144Hz will be better served with 7900XT/X, 4080/4090 … Anything else will require FSR/DLSS and look blurry :/
Might have to splurge on the 7900. Are prices expected to come down?
Have a look at this GPU guide from Toms Hardware to get a general idea of what performance to expect at 4K with various GPUs.
4K60 @ Ultra is hard to achieve with mid tier cards. 4K144 is in the realms of top of the line cards.

Rumor : AMD Radeon RX 7800 to Cost Same as the RX 6800: 16GB VRAM and Faster than the RTX 4070 Rumor link to Hadrwaretimes article
Some of us have lived through the rumors and know none of them are true ;)
More likely 4070 performance at the same MSRP that the 6800 released at (when mining prices were insane) ~ $US579 (~$AU900) …
Intels Battlemage will be the only GPUs that breaks the current price/performance status quo :/
The RX6700/XT are the same GPUs in the Playstation and Xbox, so there are a lot of game ports that run crazy well on 6700/XT's
(to the point of beating 6800XTs)
If it matches 4070 performance and costs the same its not going to do very well, considering it would only match in rasterisation and not have all the other NVIDIA bells and whistles (RT, DLSS, AI etc).
If costing the same, it needs to beat the 4070 in rasterisation and have more VRAM, this is more likely, not unlike all the current price to performance match ups.
Also, can you name a single game where the 6700/XT beats the 6800XT?
Also, can you name a single game where the 6700/XT beats the 6800XT?
Pretty easy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cfh5r0mAq90&t=82s
@7ekn00: Ok that's one obscure example from one obscure YT guy…
You did say a lot of game ports though…
If the 6700/XT beats the 6800XT in anything at all, then it's an anomaly and probably a specific problem with someone's test rig.
Also seems SAM related, so I guess it's possible there's some driver combo issues between his MOBO/bios/amd drivers and the game itself (everyone knows TLOU is the world's worst optimised game ever to be made).
Isn't that caused by incompetent and saggy GPU installations?
damn everytime I want to pull the trigger on a new card, something always comes up
anyway, I have been using something like this for years:
https://www.pccasegear.com/products/61614/powercolor-graphic…
mine was from Coolermaster, got it from Amazon for like $20, before that, I just used some odd piece of timber off cuts, trim it down to size, and painted it black with a permanent marker.
Is shallothead trustworthy? How will they be if I need to submit a warranty claim?
personally, I haven't had much luck
tl:dr sent ram back for warranty and got ghosted by shallothead, I have no ram and no refund
keeping read if you are bored :)
so yeah, in the end, I have no ram or money, and are also out of pocket for 2 x return postage, but I hope you will have better luck than me if you choose to buy from them, and make sure to keep your receipts if you ever need to lodge warranty.
the original receipt I got from them has the company name of K S Computers on it, I believe they also operate under shopping-express and Futu Online and a few other names on ebay, pretty sure there has been a few threads on Ozbargain about them over the years (my apologies if these businesses are in fact not related)
by comparison, my last two warranty return with MSY (long before they became UMART) was flawless, no fuss, no stuffing around, 100% hassle free transaction.
