Current pricing on the RX 6600 makes everything below it a poor value. There was a NIB model as low as $199. No way I'd buy a heavily used 5700XT mining card over it either; warranty, better media support, superior performance per watt.
6800XT is the best bang for buck card at the moment. my only problem with amd is their adrenalin is hard on the eyes.AMD is bang for buck champ right now. 500$ and up buyers comprise a small percentage of gamers. That is where the Nvidia tax might be worth it. ARC is a curiosity right now, we will see if it starts to factor in when you can readily buy one and have it be a decent OOB experience.
NV has a month to keep prices where they are. I would expect lower prices once AMD cards become available. Not sure what to expect the 4080 price to be upon release. That's the big question for me.The 7900XTX/XT will push the prices on 3090 cards, so nvidia will have to lower prices in the entire 80/90 stack if they want to keep selling them.

Is that really Nvidia's headache? They will tell their AIBs, "The future is RTX 4000 series. RTX 3000? Good luck with your inventory!".so nvidia will have to lower prices in the entire 80/90 stack if they want to keep selling them.
I guess that is why EVGA left.Is that really Nvidia's headache? They will tell their AIBs, "The future is RTX 4000 series. RTX 3000? Good luck with your inventory!".
$1199 or do you believe it will change before launch?NV has a month to keep prices where they are. I would expect lower prices once AMD cards become available. Not sure what to expect the 4080 price to be upon release. That's the big question for me.
I think it's going to drop.$1199 or do you believe it will change before launch?
I think it's going to drop.
Knowing NV you may be right. It's also a possibility that they will raise the default clocks on the 4080 to squeak a few more frames out. Seems to be room for it if the 4090 silicon is a guide.Unlikely. It may have factored into their decision to 'unlaunch' the 12 GB but that they didn't change anything about the 16 GB tells me they aren't going to do anything there. The 4070 Ti might end up being $799.

People always underestimate the amount of people that insist on NVidia.
RTX 3050 is still selling for significantly more than RX 6600. (Earlier today in Canada I saw about $400 vs $300), and this is value end of the market where things like AI and Ray Tracing don't matter, and where buyers should be much more sensitive to perf/$ and almost nothing else.
IMO, this kind of thing only gets worse at or near the high end.
That's the spirit. Keep the pressure on. A new reality is forming and they'll all be dragged screaming into it.They can have their bundles. Im just looking for a GPU.

And what are you going to do with said GPU? Play games of course.
Personally, I'm not interested in those games, so it's not really a benefit to me. I'd prefer a lower price.
That's why they do it. If you are interested in either game, it makes it that much better of a deal. Not everyone will though which is why AMD probably got the keys for cheap.
I can do my games with what I have. They are almost 20 years old. I do video editing and image processing.And what are you going to do with said GPU? Play games of course.
Apparently AMD doesn't want to cut any further and is now offering a game bundle including Dead Island 2 and Callisto Protocol if you buy a new 6000 Series GPU. That seems like a pretty good bundle given the circumstances.
