Nope. 2 months ago you could get a 6950XT for $509, as well as other deals for $580 and $566. So this price isnt that good, its pretty much the new norm.
Y'know, as much as I want to agree with you to some degree I just can't get over how disingenuous you're being.

This card - which I too think should be ~$500 - was available for about that price...ONCE...at like 5 a.m...for a severely limited timeframe. So...just, no.

I think it may only hit that low when they're ready for a final clearing out, if ever. That said, if you can snag one for ~$550 out the door with a freebie game you actually want I'd call it a win.

Nvidia could've had a contender with the 4070s but stripped them down so brutally I can't help but feel they're a legitimate rip-off compared to this card, YMMV...

Youre ignoring the other prices I listed though. People had chances to snag this at $566 and $580 recently. The whole point I was making was that the OP's $569 definitely is not the best price ever. Also if someone was willing to pay $10 more, you could get 6950XT's for $580ish for months now without waiting for special sales.

Hell there is now a 6950XT for $560 today if you ended up waiting:

TLDR; This is the new norm.

I'm not convinced. I've been watching these cards for months. Yes they've dropped. And will drop again. But right now there's only 2 brands of 6950 below $600. So, sure it's the new norm that they drop every once in awhile. But if you wait and miss the deal, you might have to wait another month before it drops again. OR maybe these start dropping harder. Just depends if you can hole the lime or not.

Personally I want closer to $500 + a PC game with it. But I can wait.

Anyone running one of these with an 800W PSU? I really don't want to swap PSU, but these cards are really tempting. Having to spend another 100 bucks On a psu kills the deal for me.
Running this exact GPU on an FSP 850W (HPT2-850M) PSU and it runs like a charm. Never heard coil whine and this is with a Meshify 2 case. CPU is an i7-12700K + 32 GB DDR5-6400 + 2x SSDs. Fans are all at 400 RPM.

I think once it became apparent ngreedia would talk up AI and not drop prices on 4080 and 4090s.. even these csrds bumped back up 10%... where ngreedia leads amDeceptive follows in retail

I have the 6900xtxh version of this card. It is great at this price if you need one just buy it.

Paid a lot more for the 6900 and it was hundreds of dollars off. This price is insane for what you get.

Worth to go from 3080 10gb to this?
This is slightly better, but doubt it would be enough of a difference to be worth the money, or time in swapping. The extra vram is nice, but unless you are modding with huge textures probably won't be needed for a while.

Do y'all think this price will be beat during fantastech or prime day? I want one very soon, I don't want to miss out on those lower price nor miss out on buying one before they're discount new. But with the sales days so close, I'm conflicted.

idk, with the weird driver issues... weird naming scheme pretty much torn between rdna 2 -- reliable drivers or 7900xt

friend got the 7900xtx and it had the high junction point temps and some other issues so sent it back ... my thought is that it had a bad memory chiplet and only showed up with problems if the vram usage got high enough (most tests passed good, but the one it failed was always the one that hit the vram hard)

he got a 7900xt ... and i'll be honest he has had issues here and there with it as well...
The 7900xtx and 7900xt high junction temperatures were due to faulty vapor chambers. There was a pretty big batch of cards that were sent out with dry vapor chambers that caused these cooling issues. The company AMD pays to handle their warranties was pretty sh*tty about the whole ordeal, but AMD eventually replaced all the cards.

Asrock Phantom 7900 XT is $639 with ZIPTECH code… comes with Starfield too… why buy a 6950XT?

I looked around at older deals. This is the cheapest 6950 there's been for months, maybe ever. The card was the same price + had Resident Evil on amazon a few months ago. I've been waiting for a good priced 6950.
It actually had resident evil a few weeks ago.
