Dutch and Portuguese Shops Leak AMD Radeon RX 6600 Pricing
Got €600 to spare? Great, as that means that you can afford an AMD Radeon 6600 graphics card when they launch sometime next month. Courtesy of both a Dutch and a Portuguese computer shop, we now have an idea of what the cards will cost ahead of the retail launch which is said to be on the 13th of October.
The Portuguese shop also kindly posted pictures of the Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 6600, which comes as expected with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, which it lists for €589.90. The Dutch shop was less forthcoming with their MSI Radeon RX 6600 MECH 2X 8 GB, but to be honest, it might not matter what these cards look like at these kinds of price points. The MSI card is listed at €600,41, so make sure you bring some coins as well.

@Vayra86 you?
If this trend continues we'll be seeing a Geforce GT 3010 with 4GB of
GDDR4DDR4 selling for €800 by Christmas...Since Q4 2020 Raytracing starts at over 450-500 Euros and when UnrealEngine 5 Games using Lumen launch, those will need GPU of 600 Euros
I don't like when a company is in the saddle and increases their prices, because they can (get away with it). But lately both the greens and reds are doing it.
I have 8GB now, lol, GTFO.
May bitcoin burn in hell, total fraud of an "alternative currency".
nope. Even the prices below are on the high end. I will turn down my graphics settings or resolution before paying more than $350 cad for a vid card
So, all I have to say about the 6600 being priced at €600/$700 is lol.
Here are the Dutch prices of some 6600 XT's:
They cater to business, small business I guess - first checkmark bullet says in Dutch: full inventory for office & IT.
The absolute last place to get a price idea from :)
Even if it launches at, that price is too high, but it definitely should help relieving the market ...
:D
Its not really relevant what gets released at this point, we're going to need a fresh gen to get tickled proper again. Even if a GPU is somewhat competitive (as in, not double what it should be, but still far too expensive) at some point in the coming months, you're going to be buying it só late in this gen, you're already looking at announcements for the next one. FOMO is right around the corner, and you can rest assured we'll be having a new kind of Turing > Ampere moment across the board, where 2080ti gets slashed in half MSRP or better. We're just about closing in on the Nvidia SUPERs which usually heralds 'somewhat more competitive' stack prices, except now you're too late. After all, anything else/more expensive is unobtanium right from the get go. Even without the scarce GPUs prices are already at the limit of what's doable. And I sincerely doubt AMD or Nvidia are ready to let Intel take over dGPU straight away.
You have to consider time is always on your side. If the GPU per gen doesn't get a lot stronger or more competitive its a simple no-buy, so this forces the market anyway. And people are going to compare on perf to last gen or their gen too. Its not a hard thing to see how much you get screwed.
Further, in the GPU market hypothetical crypto margins dictate prices for a while now, so why not release a low-end card for around 600€.
I think that's about all I have to say about this.....
