I am getting free shipping to QLD, pickup option is also available
lol… but but but the 2nd hand market still want full price
Higher than what a new one costs. No joke.
plus abusive reply no joke
I wouldnt say abusive, but on eBay - that person told me to go buy new.
@Weshouldgetsushi: Well, I was nice, shared all the links from ozbargain and told him to stock up, given he believe it is a temp EOFY dip.
This is starting to get into a meaningful price range. That being said, it’s still pretty darn expensive for what is effectively a 1080p card.
A 1080p card thats as fast as a RTX2070 just a little slower then a RTX3060
I play all my games at 1440p 60FPS max settings using a 6600 8Gb
The prices of 2070s on ebay are still eye-watering (at least for me they are).
People are sheep.. THEY see Nvidia Geforce and think its something special when its not and numbers don't lie… If everyone watched hardware unboxed.. the GPU market would be 50/50 AMD/Nvidia..
I remember it was the same when ATi released the Radion 9700Pro that crushed Nvidia cards but people went for Nvidia back then also..
We still have people paying more for a RTX3050 over a RX6600 even when the RX6600 can sometimes have at times a 40% higher FPS in some games and is faster in everything else.
@vid_ghost: Yep, and those people inflate the price which makes it difficult if you actually need nvidia for a specific reason, been my hell for the last year
@Pugkin: yep.. Cudo for some video encoding.. thats about it… ray tracing still inst worth it and native rez is still better vs Nvidia DLSS or AMD FSR
yep, the 6600/xt are pretty solid 1440p cards. i think it's just nowadays most folks are expecting more than 60fps as the standard
60fps is a minimum… most high end cards struggle to get to 120FPS at 1440p
@vid_ghost: Exactly - thought my new 6900 XT would smash Fortnite on Epic detail settings, at 1440P but it tends to hover mostly between 100 - 120 FPS but will drop to 80 to 100 FPS during intense battles with a few players nearby. No Raytracing turned on - although I can turn on a few Raytracing options without taking too much of a hit. If I turn on Shadows though, it becomes basically unplayable - slightly disappointing considering it's a 6900 XT. It had the same issue even if I dropped the resolution back to 1080P.
for sure. these cards (6600 and XT version) have alot of thermal headroom. If you're willing to tinker around with settings, RSR/FSR, OC and Undervolt, you can take them much further than the typical benchmark you see on youtube. My 6600 is doing really well on 1440p, not optimal with settings or fps, but satisfactory tbh. currently playing Horizon Zero Dawn on 1440p med-high settings with FSR ultra quality —— at 80fps.
Interesting - I had a 6600 XT before upgrading to my 6900 XT the other week and to be honest, I was surprised at not seeing a significant difference in Fortnite FPS. No tweaks done though - apart from simply selecting ESPORTS as the usage in the AMD Radeon settings, after a clean driver install (using DDU).
@akyeeeahdude: that's probably because you're CPU bound. for most gamers, thinking of upgrading to such a high end card without first considering CPU is an oversight.
@akyeeeahdude: i see, i've heard of bad compatibility between AMD cards and fortnite. perhaps that's the issue. i don't know much about it but maybe you can google about it.
Solid $50 drop from the last ASRock deal not long ago.
New all time low. :) the MSRP price on this is $330USD so $299AUD is an awesome price
still waiting on a good xt version with rgb and good cooling for 400 delivered
I bought the Gigabyte OC 6600xt version for $439. A nice bit of kit and will tide me over until the end of the year when I can snake either a 6900xt or 3080ti for cheap.
may want to look at a RX6800 16gb to keep power draw lower
If all GPUs were sold at MSRP, 3060ti would actually be best $/frame value.

I mean, yes, but for both better and worse they're not so I'm a bit confused as to the relevance - my graph is just using recent low prices of new cards.
oh right, it is confusing. Guess my edited post didn't go through because you replied so quickly. :)
@jaydee4: I don't think it did yea, bit of an annoying system — also sorry for being a bit rude in my reply, wasn't intentional, just a bit tired.
You gotta shake this notion that RRP means something.
Not only is it totally irrelevant now, it's also totally irrelevant normally too.
It's literally made up by some marketing hack to manipulate your expectations and trust, to trick you into giving them more money (now or in future) than you otherwise would.
Holy crap, it's very rare I actually managed to predict a price of something so accurately. A broken clock twice a day indeed lol.
Still, 10% price drop per 2 weeks for 6 months straight is insane.
Moore's Wonderfool's law.
I guess Seraph's wish did come true after all, they're finally pricing at beneath the $300 mark.
Pretty good, if you're still rocking the old GTX 1060 this is a 50 to 66% upgrade in terms of rasterization performance, maybe even more if your game supports FSR.
I can't see this dropping any lower in the near future
Thats what others thoguht when they have bought in previous deals.
Gtx 1650s are going for this price at retailers
not for much longer
That's what I thought when it was going for $345
Fair but I thought $300 would be that sweetspot as most gpus tend to hold that price point for a couple of gens for low end
Oversupply meet under demand. How many graphics cards does your average non miner need? This will go lower with no demand
Yup hit the nail on the head
Means that I wont have to fork over too much for a 4000 series… hopefully! Then my 3060Ti from launch can be handmedown'ed to replace the 1070 for my sibling.
they don't usually drop the new series that much
but if the commercial miners start dumping those could be real good value imo- they are usually taken care of and in massive quanty
nah, those new gen gpus will definitely not be sold at a similar price-perf ratio. i reckon our best bet is to buy closer to end of life for current gen and get a higher end card, something like rx6700xt/6800 or 3070ti.
1650S for $200 ish was the sweet spot for 1080p 18 months or so ago, this is close to today's equivalent (1440p if you aren't a zealot for max settings.) Ideally it doesn't quite surpass it (relatively speaking) but it's damn close. 50% more expensive for 40% performance uplift, double the vram and I guess FSR.
AMD "Raise the Game" Bundle now applies to Centrecom, MSY, Mwave, Umart.
RX 6600 for only 2 games and no Sniper Elite 5.
Purchase Period: 10 May 2022 – 13 August 2022 | Redeem by: 13 September 2022
PCByte is also part of it but it's only for the 6900 XT?
Scorptec also lists the game bundles but is not listed on the AMD website
Good to see prices coming down. This is a solid option for 1080p gaming. Still would recommend waiting until better 6600 models come around tho. this asrock one aint too shiny
6650xt already out… i dont think it will go any cheaper than this
i meant from AIBs, like msi and asus, not a new RX gpu
@pembajak_sejati - just wondering the reason behind your neg vote
Let me know - thanks
meant +
what happen to MSY , they used to be serval stores to choose from .
Holy shit haha
This went quickly, I presume this got out of the HODL'ers out?
Maybe just MSY testing prices? probably reserved a small number of cards to see how quickly they went at 299.
At the rates these are dropping, they'll be paying us to take stock out of their hands by the end of Winter!
