AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT Arrives this August

$400 is a fair deal? What are you smoking? It's replacing the 5700xt in performance at the same price 2 years later. If anything it's an indication that the industry has completely stalled…

Even against the competition it's terrible value if you could actually buy them at MSRP. The 3060Ti at $399 is a good deal faster.
What are you smoking? 3060Ti from Zotac and others are going for mere $500 and above. $399 pricing of 3060Ti was a smoke screen.
 
yep, and it's only going to get worse... USA is looking at 30 trillion in debt soon... at 28 now... inflation to the moon!
Yeah the actual worth of the dollar is probably less than the paper it is printed on. It isn't going to be pretty when this house of cards comes crashing down. I feel bad for my daughter I don't think I'll be around to see it.
 
$400 bucks for a 128 bit card, world's gone insane. I would pay $250 max.
Exactly, everything is 50% overpriced at the moment. compared to 9 months old MSRP by now. And should be updated to the super variant MSRP. And they just priced it according to the already old MSRP. Every 2 years we should get 50% better performance at the same price or just forget it.
 
Can Intel save us? Probably not. Intel is a company with a 30 years old mentality "I am the No 1, I am the biggest brand in the world, I do not sell cheap". Except if the competition is killing me and first generations of graphics cards have more bugs than a plain. And when they start making CPUs and GPUs that people would want to buy, they will start raising prices again. So we can expect a little love from Intel as long as they are having manufacturing problems and they want beta testers for their graphics cards.
I disagree. Not because Intel is going to want to "save us" out of some sense of virtuism or some other silly sense of corporate morality but with Intel being the new player on the block they are going to have to prove they can play in this market and they are going to have incentivise people to drop money on an unknown product. nVidia definitely has the stronger brand name and some people will only buy green cards, AMD has their loyalists too but probably a lot less so, but Intel has none of that.

There is also the fact that they are going to be a feature disadvantage compared to both and lets be honest there is probably going to be a fair amount of bugs for quite a while which is only going to motivate more to undercut Intel the duopoly and eventually AMD and nVidia will have to respond to that. Of course all that is dependent on there being actual supply to meet demand of the market otherwise its all academic.
 
No, I don't think that's gonna be the MSRP. That's really beyond its value. I'd say it's round $359. Or rather it'd better be in this crazy scalpers' world.
And it'll be an absolute pity if there's no reference design this time...

What's the point in caring too much about that 128 bit? Shouldn't it be OK as long as Navi 23 is powerful enough? And remember this is GDDR6's 128 bit which provides the same bandwidth as Polaris cards' GDDR5 256 bit. This 128 bit certainly will satisfy the needs of a Navi 23 chip, won't it? And of course it's not worth paying the price if you're planning to cryptomine with it... And a workstation user who requires high performance as well as high bandwidth won't buy this level of cards, will they?

400usd?!? Anyone who defends this needs to get their head checked or better stop living off their parents money!money is earned hard to give away so cheaply.

Chill out, this is not important enough that have a heart attack over. Also, we have no idea what the performance will be or how well FSR will operate on it so, let's just wait and find out.

The guys a spaz. I disagree wiyh parts prices though. I feel high end cards should be 450-520 at most, low end cards should be 120-170.

1000 dollars for any card is stupid
 
28% increase in price for 22% increase in performance over the 5600XT? OMG...
That's the most price I can expect. I'll lose interest if it goes any higher than that.
And performance is very likely to go higher than what you expect. It surely falls between 3060 and 3060 Ti.
