And, like I said, for me, this Amazon deal is better than the other Newegg, eBay, Walmart, etc. deals because I get 5% cash back. Some might find this useful. And those who don't won't. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
Have a relaxing rest of the week!
Posted it for those who care or would benefit. For instance, this is the smallest AIB variant, for those with small cases. Plus, if you have the Prime credit card, you get 5% cash back on Amazon. That almost covers sales tax and saves one ~$37.

I'd love to give AMD a shot. The only time I did, I sold my 6800 a month later after being dissatisfied with it. I'm willing to pay the $100 more for Nvidia because they're better. End of story, until AMD can actually compete. They're always playing catch-up with Nvidia's feature set but doing a poor job of it. They need to innovate on their own rather than throwing a bit of extra raster and VRAM at it.
It's just nvidia keeps coming up with new ways to increase performance. 2xxx series it was dlss and rt. 3xxx serit. It was fast dlss tech with better visuals and faster rt. 4xxx it was framegen and then a year later is ray reconstruction that sped up rt by reusing data from previous frames rt and increased quality of rt to almost raster levels. Especially when combined with frame gen it can use all that past rt data now since the rt data is held in the pipeline for those frames. They never let amd catch up in tech ... yet.
But atleast fsr3 is looking real good, amd framegen is almost getting there in quality and hopefully they got some ray reconstruction tech on the way. And maybe we'll see that tech in consoles too.
Either way unless you're getting it free or on a very limited budget. Or a discount from a hand me down or a trade of some sort.... it just doesn't make sense to get amd gpu if nvidia gpu is an option. Like most handheld are amd only and spank the intel handheld in graphics thanks to fsr3 and their frame gen tech.
I'm hoping amd framegen tech does get equivalent ray reconstruction features. Even if nvidia comes out with something new atleast it keeps them both on their toes and competition high.
I'd say without the tech, the equivalent amd card value is at 2/3rds price of the nvidia in terms of raster only because knowing of the advantages the nvidia card has outside of raster with their framegen and ray recon that it's way more than 1/3rd difference it's more than 3x - 4x framerate difference when those 2 are used in games that have it.
So I'm very very modest saying 2/3rds price for amd Nvidia equivalent.
It's better to have multiple people listing various places they can buy an item than nobody listing any items.
It's annoying to me that people complain about others taking the time to list a solid deal for others to potentially take advantage of.
If it isn't for you, move on.
Oh, and the data is literally from scanning people's computers (Steam hardware survey) so it's not a "false notion" lol.
im still on a 2080Ti , Thank God, this card has treated me very well. 1080p IPS, more than happy.

AMD needs to get their features (FSR, FMF) working at a level that is competitive to NVIDIA. Undercutting with price just isn't enough anymore, even for people who normally would buy AMD.
