Yeah, they have been this price for a week now. Really happy with the GPU and very good on power consumption. Easily overclocked to preform close to a stock 6600XT.

This one should be the 220-250 model, right? Last I remember prior to the insanity was either 5600xt or 5700 were like 250-280?

That's the crazy thing--how skewed we all are on prices these days.

So this gets roughly twice the performance of my RX 480 that I bought 5-1/2 years ago for $190. This card should be UNDER $200. So there's still clearly a shortage and price gouging, but at least graphics cards are cheaper than gaming consoles now. Oddly, performance and pricing has barely changed in five years.

Gamers nexus on YouTube has a good breakdown of this gpu. From what I recall, there's a close comparison to the cards you mentioned. I think you're right, this card, if the supply chain issues and tariffs weren't a thing, I think 250-300 would be where this should retail. I honestly think it'll take another couple gpu launches before we see normal price to performance comparisons to the past.

How is the cost of everything compared to 5 years ago? Cars, houses, clothing and groceries have all increased in cost, to say the least.

Every thread on GPUs someone has to wax poetic on the past and how prices should be lower. This is the market. Don't like it, don't buy it.
I went to a theme park yesterday and everything became dirt cheap. $6 for 2 chocolate dipped churros or $12 for a burger and fries combo? That's cheaper than outside the theme park!!!

Do not gas light people's valid concerns. People should be sentimental about price gouging instead of accepting an exponential increase in cost of living that makes the past 50 years of inflation graphed look like a joke.

What would be nice if companies were completely transparent on how much of the tariff they were a absorbing because to pass it all completely down to the consumer is kind of a dick move. So much so that people forgot what the MSRP was.

A big part of current inflation is psychology. Informed consumers don't panic buy. If a card isn't a good deal just wait. It will go down.

How many people top ticked gasoline at the peak? How many people are STILL working through their toilet paper backlog? A voice of reason is what we need right now.

18 month ago I was about to buy a video card for $160 but it kept going out of stock because of covid. Now it is between $320 and $400. These video card companies are ripping you off. Wait and hopefully they will come back down to their normal prices.

My point is that what $200 bought 5 1/2 years ago, doesn't buy the same today. The price point is relatively the same at the $329 MSRP. As he said, double the performance. If you figure twice the performance, and account inflation - you're paying an appropriate price compared to what a $200 card was 5.5 years ago.

But I guess comparing what you paid half a decade ago when crypto wasn't big, inflation wasn't record-setting, and availability was normal makes a lot of sense today.
