AMD Announcing New RX 6000 Series RDNA2 GPU on March 3rd

AMD has recently announced their third "When Gaming Begins" event to announce the latest addition to the Radeon RX 6000 Series. AMD unveiled the first of their Ryzen 5000 Series processors during the first When Gaming Begins event and announced the RX 6800, RX 6800 XT, and RX 6900 XT graphics cards during the second event. This third event will almost certainly be to officially unveil the Radeon RX 6700 XT and/or RX 6700 graphics cards which we have received various leaks and rumors about.

We expect the RX 6700 XT to come with 40 compute units, 2560 cores, and 12 GB 192-bit GDDR6 memory and to compete with the NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti. The card is rumored to retail for under 250 USD however it is unknown if the card will actually be available to purchase at this price. The RX 6700 features the same 12 GB 192-bit GDDR6 memory but only includes 36 compute units and 2304 cores. AMD will likely also talk about their laptop plans and software features during the event. The third When Gaming Begins event will be live-streamed by AMD on March 3rd at 11 am ET.

TechLurkerHere's hoping they also kill mining capabilities on their RDNA-class GPUs the same way NVIDIA is. Then just push miners towards CDNA instead.
They are successfully crippling mining already.

cst1992Unlikely.
Look at this:

Look at those FLOPS values.
The 770 isn't even that fast of a card, but it has 6x the power of a 4770K CPU.
GPUs are just way faster at doing simple tasks than CPUs.
yeah...and who is talking about cpu's? I mean dedicated purpose based mining hardware, not some graphics card that happens to be able to do some mining as well.

This is good news, finally everyone can game again, and at a very cheap and reasonable price.

Nvidia will have no chance once these bad boys flood the market.

I think you mean ASIC machines. Those have been out for many many many years.

I'm not putting my hopes up at this point. That price is very low for what we have currently. To have the proper stock, I have no idea how many of these must be ready for shipment in March. tens of millions probably.

I indeed do, and do know that, soooo why are those not being mass produced and sold, why are gpu's bought up like crazy?

They are being mass produced. ASIC machines cant run on some coins, GPUs are runned on the other types of coins.

Wasn't one of the design goals of Etherium to be that it would be impossible (or prohibitively expensive) to make an ASIC for them? It's all part of the currency's design to isolate it from mining shortcuts in the market IIRC.
