This card for $685 is a good deal. It's an even better deal open box, with the credit card, etc. PC parts always get cheaper as time goes on… you wanna use a computer or just shop for one?

The non deal posts, people that have been pining for anything resembling a reasonable price bite, then they shout down anyone that criticizes their "deal" in the forum to protect the mass delusion it was a good price. Then it gets aggressive, critics get labeled trolls, SD mods get involved, and then delete any critical posts that may cause users not to buy and profit them affiliate kickbacks.
This site is quickly becoming a speak no evil, hear no evil corporate apologist shill site.
The pricing of GPUs has been pretty firmly established. If you can't accept that there are lots of other ways to play games. But people have waited a long time with little payoff and are done waiting for something that's probably never going to happen.

Too good to be true.

There was also a driver bug for 2 months that would black screen during zoom calls. Could only be recovered via reset. A bit embarrassing as my coworkers could still see and hear me but I couldn't even close the call without a hard reset.
That's the story pretty much. Expect little annoyances to a greater degree than Nvidia. This is also 2x the performance for price.
It can do ray tracing, just not at 4k high settings and 120fps. But the only cards that can do that (even using DLSS) are 4080 and 4090. It's a geometric problem - step down to 1440p, enable AMD's super resolution, and yeah it's more than fine. But so is the 6900 xt which is arguably an even better value for 1440p.
I'd say this is the card to get for 4k, high fps, non ray tracing. You won't miss DLSS because you won't need it.
SO... i dont need overkill or something that will just bottleneck the GPU, or is it better that way? i just wanna get something cheapy that can hopefully play roblox or minecraft on easy settings.

RX 6700 for $330 provide 1440p/60 gaming in ultra settings without ray tracing.
RX 6800 XT for $513 (temporarily sold out, people are crazy about Microcenter deals) provide 4K/60 gaming in ultra settings without ray tracing.
IMHO, other AMD cards just not interesting right now for casual (non-Pro) gaming because between/lower in performance or give just little bit up for bigger price.
RX 6950 XT (or newest 7900 XT) only interesting for Pro 1440p/120 gamers because in Pro gaming high fps VERY important.
And top of the hill - RTX 4090 with almost 4k/120 ultra pro gaming, there AMD has nothing.
And yes, AMD drivers have some glitches and not so good for work.
If someone want ML, video-editing, calculate on GPU or gaming with ray tracing - will pay for Nvidia anyway.
Ranking in performance from Tom's Hardware is:
RTX 4090
7900 XTX
6950 XT
RTX 4080
This is a pretty good value.

It's not a 2 year old product. And you haven't seen a lot of things
