7800xt goes on sale in 4 weeks. It will perform better. Probably not cost that more. It doesn't need to anyway.
if they refuse to sell it for a normal price like nvidia, just wait. That's the only way prices will go back to normal. The card if fast and also lacking all new features. They want premium full prices. the car should never have been 1k.
It has been other than "Zipfest" 15% off Zip check out at Newegg. I think people were waiting for the Sept 20 nVidia announcement and when they realized nVidia was determined to keep prices up sellers decided to HODL too and the dam of desire that was holding up 3 years of consumer pent-up demand burst with people buying used cards on eBay and new cards from retailers at near MSRP.
Once that pent-up demand has been satiated, and after the Nov 3 AMD RDNA3 7xxxx series card announcement, then maybe prices will start to come down again, especially if the 7xxx cards are priced more reasonably than nVidia's offerings.
How does this compare to a 6800xt at this price? I'm able to buy a 6800xt for around 550-600$
100-150$ more, is it worth that price bump?
also, never owned an XFX Card, how is their warranty?

You could get this card for 570 yesterday maybe today on Newegg with the zipfest22 discount

No you could get the SWFT card yesterday for $570. This is the MERC319. Does the increase in tier level justify the price? No, but not a fair comparison as MERC cards are always higher priced compared to SWFT models.

Used card prices on eBay are going down every week.
