This is the normal price these days. You can get it cheaper if you're patient. 7900 XT has also been hovering at $700 on a good day.

Figured I would go for 6950 xt or 7900xt (gains seem to cost more than they are worth putting the 6950 xt in the sweet spot). Now that I know it will go cheaper, I will hold off purchasing anything right now.
Feedback is appreciated!

1. 7900 XT, 4070 Ti (or better) drops to $500 (to match Xbox Series X)
2. NVIDIA 5000 Series will hopefully be more reasonable
3. Intel Battlemage may be an interesting pickup if it's priced well for performance.

Could also wait for the long rumored 7800xt which should provide about 6950xt performance but with better ray tracing and newer tech. Dont know what the price would be (probably around $600-700) or when they will actually come out (maybe in 1-2 months?).

I don' see Nvidia changing their tactics any time soon. I see the 5000 series being expensive and the 4000s not dropping by much.
Battlemage is expected to be around 4080 levels and won't be around for close to a year (expect summer '24). Guessing both AMD and Nvidia will have something by then. The other concern I have going Intel is driver support. How far will Intel go with driver to support both the old stuff and new stuff?

Another great point!!! I am thinking I am in the "I WANT IT NOW" phase and I need to be patient.
Thank you both!!!

My main is 13900k + 4090, second is 12700k + 6950xt(I got it last deal $567 with BH re4)

My thought was: Intel's 7nm process is pretty good, a huge leap from 11th gen. Intel's 2nm process may be an even bigger leap. If they get to something nuts like 7 MHz with 2nm 15th or 16th gen, then we'll see, but I'm not really processor-bound on the games I play right now.
I'm looking to try and play games at 1440p with steady 60 fps or higher depending on the game.
LGA 1700 processors are way better price to performance than GPUs right now.
