AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT Drops Below $1000-mark For the First Time
AMD's current-gen flagship graphics card, the Radeon RX 6900 XT, can be had for as low as $949, with US retailer Newegg listing a GIGABYTE RX 6900 XT Gaming OC graphics card at that price. This can be further lowered to $899 by availing Newegg's mail-in rebate. The GIGABYTE RX 6900 XT Gaming OC is the company's value-ended custom-design RX 6900 XT product positioned a notch below the company's AORUS Master card, but is still factory-overclocked, with its cooler posting lower temperatures than the reference-design. Catch our review of this card.
A drop in the pricing of the RX 6900 XT means that AMD's new RX 6950 XT could be right around the corner, with some sources claiming the card to match up to the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti, NVIDIA's fastest graphics card from this generation. The RX 6900 XT is still a mighty fast graphics card, trading blows with the RTX 3080 Ti.Update May 5th: The price is up slightly to $999 ($949 with MIR), our assessment still holds.

Went to my local brick n mortar store yesterday and they had a combined 5 open box 6600 and 6600xts that were all under MSRP. 6700xt model that was MSRP just sold out but they had 2 models that were only 9% above MSRP in stock
But anyway, even considering the Gigabyte... this is good price for the *current market*. Cap the FPS with Freesync and run a custom fan profile, should do part of the trick... or try to find a waterblock and slap it on if you can.

It just means yes the 6950 is on the way to take the spot of the 6900 so the 6950 will be the same price (over 1200)...
Just a little longer.....
Worst US office though is ASrock. They just slap a cheap ASrock logo on the door and then the interior looks like an office from the 90s that hadn't been remodeled. The woman working the front desk also really couldn't be bothered to help you. Didn't know what she was doing but you sit there for minutes waiting before she finally pops out of some random door and looks at you like you have interrupted her nap time.
Viewsonic was pretty nice. Actually have a bird cage in their front entrance with the colorful birds that make up their logo and branding. Well, at one point. Long time ago. They moved numerous times over the years.
I'm willing to pay €650, but seeing it's 2 years old tech already i'm not even gonna bother getting a 3000 series anymore.
But good to see it dropping on Newegg as well.
