Thank you! It was on the same website as the RX 6800 849 the author must of missed it lol
That was me actually :)
I think it was a recent drop, I've just checked and they've also dropped more models of the 3070 Ti to $879 as well.
oh damn I got insane timing to get this
ASUS TUF is also much more appealing in terms of build quality than the brands which are usually going cheap.
Another drop. Definitely should wait if you can.
What are we actually waiting for now it's been so long lol
How much lower are people expecting this card to go to realistically?
@Lz ShifTy: Well the new upcoming RX7700XT midrange is supposed to be faster but also twice as fast in ray tracing games.. so buying this now for more $$$ and way way more power draw is silly.. all high end cards are a bad buy at the moment unlesd you "Need" it and are not just upgrading
@theadeptus: AMD has already stated it 50% higher IPC per WAT :)
Same performance jump from RDNA1 to RDNA2 … 50% ..some of that 50% is from moving from 7nm to 5nm@vid_ghost: amd also said 6000-series would've had more stock than Nvidia and the end result was here in AUS on day 1 it didnt even go on sale, just the preorder button went up
so fk what they said
@Freestyle: stock levels VS slides with numbers showing performance is not the same thing… PAPER launches have been around for a very long time.. intel and nvidia do it all the time
@theadeptus: The mid-range should match this performance, so yeah better price/performance ratio but 6+ months from now
@scottySK: NO.. 6+ months is 2023… Nvidia is due to release their cards in October and AMD September 2022 maybe sooner.. maybe later but this year.. low end cards are due next year
The year 2069 xt
I bought a 3060ti Aorus Elite for $700 back in april afterpay.
Those few months of use a worth more than whatever minor amount theyve dropped by since.
If you KNOW youve got the time to game and make use of it….do it.
How do we know the prices arent going to go insane again?
Never forget, all the OzB geniuses that said not to buy the $1000 2080tis.
I think it's worth waiting for NVIDIA to drop. Give it 8 weeks.
8 weeks will put it past EOFY and you'll need to wait to claim it on tax.
Claiming a graphics card on tax…
I understand that there are some business reasons to buy a top of the line graphics card, but the way you just throw that out there as if everyone buying it is going to claim in tax.
LOL, the amount of businesses that can claim a gaming card on their tax return is absolutely miniscule.
This is not a consideration for 99% of the people reading this thread.
@Nom: Legitimately at least. The amount who do it anyway and run the risk is likely significantly higher
@Nom: I WFH and am Salaried. I claim a GPU every 2nd year. Not as good as the instant write-off of a business but I think considering most monitors we buy use DP we can rationalise needing multi DP GPUs I run 4 monitors, 3 4k and 1 UQHD. There's no real benefit to buying it on either side of the financial year because the depreciation starts from the day you purchase it and runs for 4 years or however you schedule it.
Anything but a Gigabyte card.
you are the type of guy who waits for 10 years
/* Waits 2 months */ Bitcoin goes up to $100k, these cards start selling for $5k.
Damn good price
I didn't end up getting the TUF 3080, still HODLing to a 970. These drops keep on making me want to make the jump.
HODL literally a month ago it was 1299
yeah that wont happen maybe when the new cards release though
Who is negging me missed the joke.
It's a TUF call to make 🙃
I'm sure you'll make a TOP choice
Is the free shipping option from BPC safe?
Shipping (Free Shipping (BPC Tech Preferred Courier) - Free Shipping) not sure what this means but I guess there is a way
Pulled the trigger. Thanks op!
Bought a motherboard off them and received it via star track
I recently bought a SSD from them and picked the free shipping option. It was delivered by Auspost as parcel post.
Last time I purchased my graphics card from BPC they shipped it via SF Express. No damage, reasonable speed.
At this rate, gimme a 3070 ti for 500 delivered
Big if true.
Seems this is the price all around the world outside the EU and USA. All the smaller markets are crashing hard for Radeon right now. Still over 900euro in the EU which is bonkers. 880usd in USA.
6900XT has been on sale for $720 USD (plus free $190 game bundle and game pass as extras) the past few days and is not selling out. Any 6900XT cards priced at $880 USD will never sell.
Thanks. I stand corrected.
now this is worthy of being called a bargain, relatively speaking, given that this card retails (well, it's supposed to) for a grand in america..
Good price, but can it go lower in the coming months?
Of course it CAN, whether it WILL is a different q
Good price, but WILL it go lower and how much lower in 4-8 weeks time ?
Ok, my crystal ball is on loan at the moment. As soon as it comes back I’ll let you know the answer
$899 at least!
@FabMan: OK, I will pull the trigger at $900. My current Vega 64 is still doing alright for my light gaming.
Thank you
Yes
Brilliant! Fantastic price and probably close to the lowest it will go.
I think if people want to jump it's worth going for it. Or hope an amd retailer with the game promotion price matchesNow this is not the bottom. It is not even the beginning of the bottom. But it is, perhaps, the bottom of the beginning.
In a twisted sort of way I disagree.
Apart from not being the bottom as its an asus TOP card. So for that I agree.
But the RT7700XT will have twice the ray tracing performance and is supposed to be as fast in rasterisation
Pretty damn funny how certain commenters say every week to stop HODLing and buy now before prices go back up - yet every week they drop another 10%.
yeah i have a feeling this trend will not stop. It's a matter of months for retailers to clear as much stock before RX7000 comes around this year.
It won't slow down until retailers are able to clear their significant inventories. Now that mining farms are liquidating their GPUs en masse, retailers are in for a world of pain.
With Lovelace a mere 4 months away, and RDNA 3 soon to follow, there simply isn't enough time to sell stock without significant price cuts. This is really only the beginning.
I honestly feel a lot people here are either retailers or people who held onto their mining farms too long, and are trying to pretend that these are good prices. Looks like I'm going to cop a lot of downvotes for spitting straight facts. They hated Jesus because he told them the truth lol.How the hell you weave Jesus into that paragraph
But I don't even believe in Jebus!
It’s quite evident that when people pile onto a “deal” they’ll raise the prices hoping we don’t notice.
The EVGA FTW3 and ASUS TUF 3080 were sitting at $1399 for ages. Someone posted them here, they got sold out instantly and next week they were re listed for +$100 on top
Considering in a lot of games this card (when paired with 5000 series AMD CPU) can outperform a 3090, this is HUGE bang for buck.
I'll stick it out for Next Gen cards though, RTX2080ti serves me perfectly well enough for now.
yeah 2080ti is a great card holding is best for you rn
Is the card also good for media editing as well? Or should I stick to NVIDIA
I'm pretty sure Linus Tech Tips has a video with benchmarks of 6900XT versus others indicating the Nvidia cards are still better for media editing currently. But I suppose that also depends on what media and how much you are doing.
Depends on the media your editing and overall Nvidia is better in productivity workloads. This is more 'value' for money if your mainly playing games without ray tracing and some some 4K grunt.
If your work isn't impacted at the moment it's best to wait for next gen.
Have to power tune and fan tune, for path of exile, so the card doesn't go past 60 Celsius. Shadows in Poe are a bitch and overheat so many cards.
For anyone telling you to "HODL", do not listen to them IF you have been waiting and need a card, don't HODL much longer. This is a top tier card, from a good quality manufacturer, and this is very close to the lowest it will go, maybe if we are lucky a 6900 XT might reach around $900, but it won't be an ASUS TUF Gaming. You need a card, and you have been holding, go for it.
Obviously if you have a 2080 Ti, or a card you are currently happy with and willing to wait another year or so, then it's worth waiting for next generation cards & waiting for them to drop in price. Also, if you care about ray-tracing performance and want high quality ray-tracing for future titles too, it's definitely worth waiting for next gen cards.
Thank you, someone who has common sense.
Depending on how much you value the $190 AMD gaming bundle, the 6900XT is already being sold for as little as $530 USD in the states and not going OOS. Between the Ampere/RDNA 2 overproduction, miners liquidating their farms and next generation a few months away, if you think this is anywhere close to the bottom, you are in for a very big surprise.
@iseeyou1312
if you think this is anywhere close to the bottom, you are in for a very big surprise
We're all guessing, but this isn't my first rodeo with a new generation looming on the horizon, I've been following the PC market for over 2 decades. That $530 USD you quoted isn't really the price, you can't take into account "game value bundles" as hard cash. It's at $720 in the US from the reddit link you sent. Even if it goes down to around $500 to $600 USD over there, it does not mean that will translate to the Australian market, as stock levels are different here + import tax + different profit margins.
IMO this is close to the bottom price of the 6900XT, might go down to around $900 but I doubt it will be for top brand models.
How low do you think a 6900 XT will reach here in Australia? $800? I really don't see that happening. I don't think I see it reaching $850 either.
By all means if anyone can wait, and have a decent card already and are just itching to upgrade, they should wait. If they're still using 7+ year old cards, this is a great upgrade.
When the 4070 comes out at around $850, and is 30% faster than this card but with a much better feature set, it gives the 6900XT an implicit value of around $500-600. That's what the bottom will be in terms of price/performance, it just depends on how steep retailers will need to discount to clear old stock, and if they'll have to compete directly with the next generation. Personally, I can't see how they're going to clear the tens of millions of GPUs that have been oversupplied in the next few months.
this isn't my first rodeo with a new generation looming on the horizon
This is the biggest GPU generational improvement in history, happening at the same time as the biggest GPU mining crash and history and biggest oversupply of graphics cards in history. You can't make inferences of what will happen based on previous launches on mining crashes.
@iseeyou1312: You think an RTX 4070 is going to be 30% faster in rasterization than a 6900XT? Were there some strong rumours that I missed that this is going to be the biggest GPU generational improvement in history? Even then the numbers you're quoting for a 4070 seem out of place.
I always assumed we'd see a big ray-tracing performance jump over the previous generation, but there is no way an RTX 4070 is going to be 30% faster than a 6900XT at $850. Would be a massive jump if a 4070 even matches the 6900XT in terms of rasterization performance.
@ThatsCheap: I just checked the most recent leaks and you're somewhat right. The 4070 and 4080 have been gimped (moved an entire die down in the product stack), but the 4090 is still a monster. The 4070 should still beat the 3090, but not by much.
It seems Nvidia are really going to try and push 4090 sales hard (will double performance of the 3090) but the improvements lower down the product stack are looking a lot more marginal (still in the region of ~60%, but because they've dropped them down a die it's not 2x like before).Were there some strong rumours that I missed that this is going to be the biggest GPU generational improvement in history?
Yep, the performance per watt has moved very little in the past two generations due to staying on very similar nodes in terms of transistor density. The jump from Samsung 8nm to TSMC 4nm will be completely unprecedented, and power limits are getting big increases as well. AMD and Nvidia are in direct competition now, so Nvidia isn't able to trickle performance improvements (similar to how AMD forced Intel to be competitive).
@iseeyou1312: Don't think 4070 and 4080 were gimped, they were never that strong. When you said a 4070 will outperform a 6900XT by 30% without ray-tracing, that was a very bold claim. Expecting double the performance from the 3090 to 4090 is also impossible, double in what? You think a game running 4K 100FPS will suddenly get 4K 200FPS? That is impossible within one generation (when comparing same tier cards).
I am however expecting a big jump in ray-tracing performance. More hoping actually, because right now I don't think any of the cards are worth it in terms of ray-tracing performance per cost.
All this is IMO, so we'll see in a couple of months time for the 4090 and then later in the year for the 4070 and 4080.
A 7700XT (coming out first) will have similar performance with much better RT performance with probably better bells an whistles in about 3 months time albeit with lesser VRAM for about the same price. As rightfully said, people who absolutely want a new card should buy this now and people who think they dont game much or can manage with existing card (however bad that is), should hold. This is tempting for me. But my GTX 1080 will help me HODL till year end.
7700XT for $999? No way.. its replacing the 6700XT.. it will cost arpund $700 to $800
You are correct. I mentioned similar price to keep those people who still believe that "graphics price will never go down" from negging my comment. Or else there will 4 replies saying otherwise.
Lol, despite the best explanation about you still HODL lol…
4080/7800xt or bust ;)
Why can't 3080ti drop in price, paying nearly double for 3080ti for arguably same performance
Why wait for a 3080ti if this is half price and same performance
Agree, only thing is msfs2020 apparently runs way smoother on the Nvidia lineup. Benchmarks are the same but apparently stutters with the AmD cards, and that's all I really play
Ahhh fair call. What about with new drivers? Still same issue?
@maverickjohn: Looking a little deeper, the stutters from others were running 6900xt with an Intel CPU. I just picked up the 6900xt as this deal is too good to pass up. Looks like the 5800x3d and this GPU are a match made in heaven. Fingers crossed we are stutters free boys
@splitatom: I'm really glad. I think you made the right call. Those 2 will be a dream combo.
Hope you enjoy your new toys
Yes, I am reading a lot of stutter comments on AMD cards. Apparantly hopefully drivers should fix this. But in general NV has more consistent better drivers overall.
Sub 1k finally, nice find!
