You got the price wrong. It'll actually be about ~$800. We don't live in normal-price world right now.

Funny, and a great point. I'm just praying my GPU doesn't die on me. But this thing has survived many hours of ether mining, and some decent gaming for over 4 years now. I got my money's worth. I'll be sure to let you guys know when she.... goes

Of course - it is not in stock, but I want a 6800XT or RTX 3080 anyways.

I am kinda curios what will there be first - a RX 6800XT in Stock for a reasonable price - or the RADV driver having RTX at a reasonable performance.

This shortage really sucks, on the other hand, my 1070 TI does its job - but more power would be nice.

Actual retail store price here in Australia will be around $800AUD... just gouging as far as the eye can see!

... pricing on the RX 6600 XT is driven by the current market conditions and they opted for setting a realistic price versus putting an artificially lower price knowing full well the prices for what other graphics cards are commanding these days...

Hooray! It's what I said they should do a year ago. It's better that AMD (and their suppliers) gets the money than scalpers.

Come to think of it... The high end RX 480 was ~$379 in 2016...

Actually, it was $239 for the 8GB model and $199 for the 4GB:

Thank you for the receipt, M@GOid.

I got mine for $238 I think it was

If this was Price is Right, I'd be up there spinning the wheel. $1, Bob !!

And no, we don't do RGB. We leave that to the Gen Z crowd (no offense)

perpetually lying. A little RGB never hurt anyone either
