Radeon RX 6x50 XT Pricing Leaks Ahead of Next Week's Launch
Next week AMD will be announcing its refreshed Radeon RX 6x50 XT graphics cards, but courtesy of VideoCardz, the pricing is already available. The site managed to get hold of one of the slides from next weeks' launch, which details the three new cards, the Radeon RX 6650 XT, RX 6750 XT and RX 6950 XT. All three cards are fairly minor refreshes that will receive a small bump in boost speeds across the board and the RX 6650 XT and RX 6750 XT will also see a bump in memory clocks from 16 Gbps to 17.5 and 18 Gbps respectively. All three cards will also see a bump in TBP power, with the two lower-end cards getting a 20 W increase and the RX 6950 XT getting a 35 W bump.
However, the bigger issue here is AMD's new pricing, which isn't going to appeal to anyone. The RX 6650 XT is seeing a $20 bump over the RX 6600 XT to $399, whereas the RX 6750 XT is getting a $70 price bump, which places it mere $30 below the RX 6800 at $549. Finally the RX 6950 XT will retail at $1,099 or $100 more than the RX 6900 XT. Keep in mind that this is based on AMD's reference card pricing and partner cards are likely to be priced higher. All three cards should be available on the launch day, which is the 10th of May.

I knew scapler's prices would never really go away, even if they've moderated somewhat recently. The greedy mfgr's are just so used to getting an ass load of cash for the cards, and they can't (they could but won't) just put them back close to where they were before the pandemics, both da 'vid & parts shortages etc
Shame on them ..:mad:..:shadedshu:..:cry:

Of course, my perspective of a RX 580 owner is probably a little different than the others'.
Greedier than Jensen if that's even possible.
+5 frames = +100 bucks. Give it to me baby!
The real trickery is the 6750XT, which is priced to entice buyers that "just for an extra 30 or so", they can get a slightly more powerful 6800XT. The mid-level 6650XT is somewhat similar, targeting the "for just an extra 20 or so" crowd who was considering the 6600XT.
If the 6950XT is as good as pre-review leaks are claiming, it's no surprise it's priced higher than even the fancier 6900XTs using the higher performance XTXH binned variant, which in and of itself was a bit of a marketing issue given that there weren't many clear ways to differentiate a 6900XT using an XTX chip vs a 6900XT using an XTXH chip. I have to wonder if there will be an "XTXH" binned sub-model of the 6950XT, of if this is it; the ultimate RDNA 2 GPU until the next major series (or unless AMD decides to refresh RDNA2 for whatever reason; maybe as tier fillers or OEM-only).
Just like in the past these cards are there to help stop the overall prices from dropping.
I’ve always disliked Nvidia marketing policy, but the new AMD is no different
Prices are definitely going down.
The local microcenter had 20 open box cards yesterday.
3060ti $350
6700xt $485
1. AMD did not start making profit until Zen2.
2. If you were a data center client that would not be your sentiment
3 AMD GPUs are up to 50% the cost of a Green equal card
4. The 5800X3D will sell like Hotcakes regardless of the price
5. Gaming Laptops are now cheaper thanks to AMD
AMD is actually giving us innovation that we can feel.
The 5600G blows any APU before it out of the water and over 2 GHZ on Vega should be celebrated.
Nothing I have said is untrue. You can just look at the cost of the 12900KS vs the 5950X or the 3090TI vs 6900XT.
Just because you can't buy AMD CPUs for $100 like the 1090T (When AMD was at $3 a share)
Indeed Dr Lisa Su should be celebrated for driving the Computer Industry forward. Whether you want to believe Covid is real or not without the Computer that AMD has forced the industry to become the vaccine would probably still be in development. Please expand your readership and see how different AMD is from Intel and Nvidia.
