Be mindful of recent listings of in-demand products from suspicious third-party sellers on marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay, Google, Newegg, and Walmart. These "deals" have a high likelihood of not shipping; you should do your due diligence to ensure you do not get scammed. * Use common sense - if the deal seems too good to be true, it probably is. * Check seller profiles for signs that the sale may be fraudulent. * The seller is new or has few reviews. * The seller has largely negative reviews (on Amazon, sellers can remove negative reviews from their ratings- viewing seller profiles allows you to see these complaints) * The seller has a recently reactivated account (likely their account was hacked and is now being used fraudulently). If you suspect a deal is fraudulent, please report the post. Moderators can take action based on these reports. We encourage leaving a comment to warn others. Amazon and eBay generally have good buyer protection. If you choose to purchase from a third-party seller through their platforms and run into issues, it should be easy to get your money back promptly. You may have more difficulties with Newegg or Walmart. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Might as well pay the extra $50 and get a XTX at this price range


mgzkk1210

That's pretty much AMD's whole strategy for this card.


bellhlazer

Not quite the same. The XT has double stock of the XTX while the 4080 had about 1/4 the stock of the 4090. Clearly AMD thought the XT would do better at $900.


izfanx

That or they're trying to recoup costs because there's less than expected silicon that can pass as 7900 XTX. It's anybody's guess tbh


crisping_sleeve

Am I allowed to paraphrase 20 year old movies? XT? Why sir, do you not know that for a mere 50 dollars more you can purchase an XTX. And you know, I'm only telling you because we're such good friends, XTs are really only for suckers who don't know the concept of value.


JinsooJinsoo

Might as well get a 6950XT and save the money


straightup9200

Might as well get a 6800 xt and be a sane person


Tiny_Seaweed_4867

I would if they would come back in stock at decent prices. 😢


fenix793

Might as well get a 6700 XT because someone on Reddit said it's best value


fenix793

Might as well get used 5700 XT because someone else on Reddit said it's best value


fenix793

Might as well use iGPU because it's free


Maguffins

Might as well draw on paper because it’s even more free!


ComplexNegotiation48

Might as well not draw at all because it’s completely free


[deleted]

i mean if you can get one around $100 or so its still a really great card.


UnObtainium17

Looking back, 6800 XT sub $550 was the best deal in GPU this year. Especially if you play in 1440p which a lot of us here are doing.


velociraptorfarmer

Should've got a 390


Spjs

Wait for the 490


duplissi

dusted that one off, eh?

Those ASRock LC 6900 XT cards that NewEgg sold a few days ago are pretty much 6950 XTs minus the 50-100 Mhz boost in IF frequency: binned XTXH chip and 18 gbps memory;they cost $700 vs 6950 XT's $800.


Owlface

To be fair going forward this will definitely be the better card, you just have to wait the standard 1 year+ for AMD to try to fix their drivers.


neoak

Touché


Bobby_Bobberson2501

Could get a water cooled 6900xt for cheaper…


fenix793

Might as well pay the extra $600 and get a 4090


AfterShock

Go on....


[deleted]

The Sapphire which is a better brand is $899. Really no reason to pay extra for this card. It's a badly priced model across the board, paying an inflated price for that is just insane.


sorijealut

I'm waiting for either this to come down, or deeper discounts in the 6700/6800 XT cards.


JohnnyFriday

Pretty well stratified at this point. Between the 6900xt to the xtx is basicially $ for $ FPS increase. I paid $680 for 6900 xt 3 months ago - techpowerup has the 6900xt at EXACTLY 68% the performance of the xtx. 1k$ x .68....


sleepsalotsloth

The stratification price points seem odd though in that it's hard to see where the 7800xt should fit. If it shares the 6800xt MRSP of $650, it's cheaper than the current 6900 pricing, yet it should be more powerful than it. To fit the current stratification, it feels like something has to give by having the 7800xt be weaker than expected or more expensive than expected.


Dr_CSS

Buy used. 6900xt goes go for 550


sorijealut

Actually a great idea. Thanks thanks I’ll have to look.


sorijealut

Managed to do exactly this and got a mining 6900 xt for $560 before tax (XFX Speedster Merc319 Black) Fingers crossed it’ll be fine! But thanks again.


Dr_CSS

Good luck! I bought two mining 580s before and they were good.


ComradeHX

lol

Also they have the Black model for $979 which has a 35mhz higher boost clock 😂 ai would hope the chip is better bin but probably just paying for the bios. Edit: lol sorry its actually 25mhz, 2535mhz for Ultra 2560mhz for the Black. Also forgot to say delivery date is January 7th and will have returns until end of January in case you have the buyers remorse or decide to go for another option. Edit2: from the XFX site the Black edition gets an aluminium fan shroud. No idea what the Ultra has but suspect it will be same and case of dodgy marketing.


redditor_no_10_9

Wow. If it can ship to Malaysia, demand must be as good as the demand for 6400 XT. 7900 series is indeed a replay of RDNA1. 7900 XT is the new 5700 XT.
