Came across this Gigabyte RX 6600 XT Eagle for $419 at PC Byte with $9.90 flat rate shipping which seems to be the lowest price so far(?) for an 6600 XT with most deals coming in at around $450
Also seeing the same exact model for $419 at BPC Tech (free shipping at BPC I think) but currently sold out. EDIT: occasionally coming in and out of stock

The Asrock RX 6700 XT Phantom Gaming D for $699 delivered seems like a decent deal as well for a higher end Asrock model

    Retailers really sweating now, seeing 2-3 drops in a week

    • Headless on 08/06/2022 - 13:19

      Bye bye increased profits! - but they could always claim inflation and keep the pricing high - at least for a year or two before the real inflation occurs from new stock orders

      • Budju on 08/06/2022 - 21:53

        It's hard to get a clear picture on how much retailers were really pocketing because AIB manufacturers were cashing in as well.

        • wonderboy4 on 08/06/2022 - 22:46
          +1

          It seems to me that all 3 of them (Manufacturers, AIB's and Retailers) have made out like bandits over the past couple years.

          • Budju on 08/06/2022 - 22:47

            @wonderboy4: eventually everyone profited, but initially it was just the retailers.

    • Jimmy77 on 09/06/2022 - 02:11

      Their tactics of manipulating price drops suck. The asrock 6600xt is still $450. Rather than drop the models proportionally they're hoping to reel a few in with this model first, only to drop the asrock to ie 399 after the sales from this die off. It's basically staggering one drop over like 10 individual AIB's of the same gpu.

      As a result of this shady tactic you end up with a gigabyte gaming oc cheaper than the asrock challenger lol.

    EAGLE or Gaming OC?

    • Gazette on 08/06/2022 - 13:51
      +6

      Assuming Gigabyte follow the same "formula" as their other cards in the past, then from what I remember, the Eagle is usually their "base" model which uses AMD reference clock speeds, Gaming OC is a slightly overclocked version, Gaming OC PRO is again slightly more overclocked. Maybe like 0.5% difference in performance?

      I believe the actual cooler and fans is the same but the Gaming OC and PRO come with a different faceplate/backplate/shroud.

      EDIT: After having a look at the gigabyte website, the heatsink seems to be actually different and may be slightly better on the Gaming OC/PRO models

      EDIT2: Simple comparison chart https://www.gigabyte.com/Comparison/Consumer/Result/3?pids=8…

      • bdl on 08/06/2022 - 14:20
        +1

        Would they do this based on binning of GPUs or they just blindly o/c and assume the improved cooling/heatsink will mean the GPU can handle it?

        • Gazette on 08/06/2022 - 15:01
          +1

          A lot of these advertised "up to" game clocks (expected/typical gaming) and "up to" boost clock (max burst) speeds can be reliant on the cooling performance, so the better heatsink may be helpful both in performance/thermals/noise.

          That being said though, the factory "overclock" is quite minuscule on these mid range cards that I doubt there's much actual binning (if any) going on I reckon, Gigabyte don't do any AORUS models for the 6600 series either and there's always going to be some silicon lottery.

      • ozbagends on 08/06/2022 - 19:44

        Cant you just overclock the card yourself to achieve same results?

        • scud70 on 08/06/2022 - 21:00

          Yep!

    Scorptec also has the Gigabyte Radeon RX 6600 XT GAMING OC PRO 8G, 8GB for $459. Is it worth the extra $40?

    EDIT: Just did a google search of reviews. Short answer, no

  • mitchfrommelbourne on 08/06/2022 - 13:24

    Seriously when I wasn't looking for a 12GB 3080 those deals were popping up every two days - now I've been looking and haven't seen a good one in yonks! All these AMD deals lately has me considering the switch just so I can finish my build haha

      Just get a 4080 in 2-3 months at full retail, there's your value for money. Seems set to be the same starting prices as last launch.

        what makes you think it will be in stock?

        • jasswolf on 08/06/2022 - 17:36
          +1

          Mining demand is expected to be extremely limited, fab capacity is up, used market will be flooded alongside the excess stock being sold off. Should be fine after the first 5-8 weeks.

          • Silent-zai on 08/06/2022 - 17:38

            @jasswolf: I can agree with you but what the past 2 years has taught me is the market is unpredictable and if you can afford a card and it has the performance you want then buy it now.

            • jasswolf on 08/06/2022 - 17:39

              @Silent-zai: The market was unpredictable because of interest in Ethereum, that's now dead. Not just because of its value, but because of how far mining difficulty has spiked.

            • GandalfTheCheap on 09/06/2022 - 16:30

              @Silent-zai: Well the past 30 years have taught me that the last 2 years were a once-in-a-lifetime shortage unlikely to ever be repeated.

      If it helps, I bought a close equivalent to this card in game performance, the 2060 Super, before the Great GPU Crisis, for $480.

      So we're not were we might have been if there'd never been a crisis, not yet.

      We're still a year or two behind where we should be.

      Catching up fast, though.

      • slapmedo on 09/06/2022 - 00:33

        Close. Arguably the RX 6600 non-XT is the more comparable card to a 2060 super in performance. The XT version is closer to a 2070 super

  • shangoz on 08/06/2022 - 14:14

    Last year when counting the GPU price, use ROI way for 250days, then move to 365days, due to now per MH only pay out 0.0249, so every card MH multiple by 9.1 can be a guideline for basic GPU price…

  • tellhimhesdreaming on 08/06/2022 - 14:26

    I wonder how many 6700 XT cards there are left floating around now with the intro of the 6750 XT and the like. Seems like 6800s are thinning out too?

      Unfortunately all the upvoters on that deal were miners or millennials who love AMD. I tried my best and even reported the skewed voting to mods but they did nothing

      • WhyAmICommenting on 08/06/2022 - 18:43

        or happy HODLers

        • Jimmy77 on 08/06/2022 - 18:50

          hodlers would downvote. Encouraging people to buy raises demand which delays price falls. Hodlers want no demand ie nobody buying. Maybe hodlers will like this deal but honestly it's $20 below msrp for junk models. Unfortunately all the good brands like XFX/Powercolour/Sapphire are still $499 for their mid tier.

          Under $500 gets you undesirable models only. Asrock/ventus/eagle. Or the bad mech oc1 with 6600xt cooler.

          • ozbagends on 08/06/2022 - 19:13
            +2

            @Jimmy77: At this tier of cards does the brand really matter? Seems to be marginal improvements if any across the brands. Maybe Sapphire/XFX might be better build quality, but even as price drops - they will still markup ~$50 above the lower tier cards - making it undesirable if you only care about performance?

            • Jimmy77 on 08/06/2022 - 21:32
              +1

              @ozbagends: Of course it does. A lot of people just watch youtube reviewers and disregard the quality. There's more to it than the cooler/vrm. Quality of the pcb itself, materials used and a cleaner manufacturing process.

              Cheap fans & bakerlite plastic backplates which insulate the card. The laws of physics say all this stuff shortens the cards life.

              For the fans of alone you'd be basically trying to argue a 1 ball bearing vs 7 ball bearing fishing reel doesn't matter. Heaps of this stuff matters. If the reel still spins it may be good enough for you. But for most It would definitely matter.

              Why pay the same for a card that runs hotter and is made with cheaper materials. Both these things shorten the cards life indefinitely

  • nedski on 08/06/2022 - 15:56

    • ozbagends on 08/06/2022 - 21:34

      Curious what made you decide to pay $20 extra for OC version?

      • nedski on 08/06/2022 - 21:37
        +2

        I was thinking of what was written above and reviews elsewhere. The OC has better thermals for overclocking than the Eagle. A number of forums also mentioned that the eagle's fan was noisy.

        Also I think im going to hold this card for about 6 months and the extra $20 is not bad to squeeze out a little more performance to tide me over for that time period.

      • xyron on 09/06/2022 - 09:28

        The Gaming model has better fans, a better cooler and RGB - probably worth the extra $20.
