Do you live 20 miles or more from MicroCenter? Then it will probably cost you $20 in gas, wear, and tear, on your car to get this product, and so this deal is the best deal you can possibly find for a 7900 XT AMD GPU (with free shipping).

MERC chassis is very large (344 mm i think) but they use the same chassis for all their cards and pass the savings on to you! In a recent test the MERC 310 was #2 in keeping the card the coolest (only ASRock Taichi did better at cooling / overclocking.)
Cheapest price I've seen at retail and I've been tracking these cards since I bought a founder's card on Dec 12th 2022.

I've had this card since the end of January. It is indeed a beast.

Let's imagine that the chiplet is probably 3/4 of the GPU price. So an $800 card has $600 of chiplet and $200 of mobo, fans, vapor chamber, backplate, rgb, etc. The chiplet price might drop in HALF over the first six months of production. Let's say the initial manufacturing cost was $800. When the chiplet ($600) yields improve it can begin costing them $300 so the overall price drops from $800 to $500 and so a $700 street price becomes possible.
If you've never made GPU chiplets before (AND NOBODY HAS) you cannot predict if will take six months or sixty months to get to that price-drop!

The 4080 / 4090 have seen chip production costs MORE THAN DOUBLE. Each time VLSI geometry shrinks, i.e. the minimum feature size which is usually the width of the smallest transistor gate, like going from 8nm in the 3000/6000 series to 4/5nm in the 4000/7000 series, the cost to build the new factory ROUGHLY DOUBLES. When I was a kid in the 70's you could build a VLSI factory for $5-$10 MILLION dollars. Today you can't even do it for $5-$10 BILLION dollars. Yep, the factory costs have increased 1000x+. We will see a time in the next 10 years when prices DO NOT drop because NOBODY can afford to build the next VLSI factory. Seriously. This is why Intel tanked. They weren't big enough to afford a 10nm factory !!
