Performance very close to 3060 Ti / 3070 depending on title. Amazing deal.

Definitely more 3060 level or less if you want even the minimum ray tracing though

If we're being realistic, someone using an RTX 3060 or RX 6600/6650 XT level card can't really afford the performance hit from ray tracing to begin with for newer titles where system reqs keep creeping up. RTX 3050 and 3060 continue to be some of the worst GPUs anyone could possibly choose for price-to-performance. The FE RTX 3060 Ti ($399) is the only mid-range card that makes any sense from Nvidia if you want a reasonably priced card and plan to use ray tracing often.

Who buys a 3060 for ray tracing though? The performance hit on RT is substantial. It only makes sense if you pair it with DLSS but very few games use both RT and DLSS anyways.

Ray tracing at that performance level is terrible. I love that NVIDIA is leading and pushing for a bunch of innovative features beyond pure raster perfs (incl .raytracing, AI, DLSS, etc ....) but for my kid's low/mid (1080p) GPU I will most likely go with AMD which offers the best value when you consider that most added NVIDIA features are not really useful at 1080p.

May not be a bad thing. People can still look for other items. It's easy to cancel or return.

I have a six year old system consisting of a i7 6700K, GTX 1070, and a 750W PSU. Can I buy this without needing to upgrade other parts? I imagine I'll have a bottleneck at the motherboard/CPU level but how much of one is the question.

I'm looking to replace my 1070 because it's been crashing in games and underclocking has stopped that behavior. I suspect it's dying

I had a similar situation at the beginning of this year. I bought an RX 5500 dirt cheap as a temp GPU to hold me over until prices came down. Jumped from FX 6300 (2012) to i5-11400f during a fire sale. While benchmarking a handful of games (2012-2020 releases) on both CPUs, I didn't notice too much of a difference since it's a modest GPU. I got at most 10% higher FPS after upgrading CPU/mobo/RAM. Your CPU isn't as bad as my old one so I suspect you'll generally be ok. If there was a big gap, you'd potentially suffer a bit of stuttering due to a weak CPU though. This can give you a ballpark number too. Not perfect, but the results seem reasonable to me when I was tinkering with it: https://pc-builds.com/bottleneck-calculator

I would recommend an upgrade. My brother had a 6600k before i gifted him a 3070ti for his birthday and he saw maybe like 20-30% increase in performance over his 1070. Upgraded to a 5600X setup and saw the 2x gains he was supposed to. A 6700K is pretty ancient by now.

Hard to say if Navi 33 will offer better price/performance ratio. It may be faster and more efficient, but probably more expensive. Making the $250 a decent buy at the middle to low end. I too, would like people to hold the line so we can bring these prices down. But things are starting to get reasonable. I even saw a crappy 6500 for $100 (w/ free game). Bad card, good price. AMD is looking more consumer friendly these days.

The hold is over for me as well as most as it's down to a very reasonable point. Minus rebate and some of those borrowing offers, both the 6600, 6650 and 6700/6750 has come down nicely.

From a price point, the 6600 at 210 is the lowest while the 6650 is 250. Both have stabilized enough to consider buying.

Will it drop, probably, but don't expect that much more.

Btw, on the Nvidia side, there's even less movements which is ashamed 😢😢.
