I've ordered a few things that had over a month expected delivery date but they arrived within weeks. I just ordered something on Jan 12 and said the expected delivery date was Feb 20th but it was delivered today. So there is a chance it might not take a month.
Delivery date is March!
It usually reaches early in most cases.
A bit like me.
Too expensive imo.
I would argue against it, but with how the next gen gpus are priced, this is still great value
Don't get me wrong the 6800 XT is a good GPU at this price point, but maybe about 6 months ago before we had the new generation cards.
In addition, new cards like the 4070 Ti and 7900 XT should be priced in the 800 dollar range, but AMD and NVIDIA are greedy. Really this card should be in the 600 dollar range considering how in the toilet the Aussie dollar is and how old the 6800 XT is now.
This is perceived to be "good value" because of the fake inflated prices of the new generation stuff, put the RTX 4080 at RTX 3080's pricing of ~$1200 which is what it should be and this GPU at this price is extremely poor value imo.
If you judge value against preconceived notions of what gpu pricing "should" be, this is bad value. I don't necessarily disagree with you, but unfortunately this isn't realistic or helpful for those who want to buy now.
If you judge value as fps/dollar in the current market, this is good value.
@KARMAAA: Sure, for those who are happy with that level of performance.
Obviously if you have specific performance requirements, you'll only be considering fps/$ around that tier. Otherwise everyone would already be running a 6600.
You cannot think like this, because in 6 months time you can say the same thing about a 7900xt, may as well wait 6 months for the 8900xt.
if you have this thinking process you'll never end up with a card. Just buy the bastard and be done with it. At least then your getting 6 months of gameplay at a better FPS than you current have because you'd be waiting time and time again for a new card.
If you are worrying about a few hundred dollars which is stopping you from buying maybe you should just not buy at all and move onto another hobby.
I paid $1900 for my 6800xt when covid was on and i have no regrets. Even though its lost 1200 dollars of value i dont care, because iv used the card for nearly 2 years. What's 1200 dollars in 2 years, honestly. PC's are expensive if you want to keep up with the hardware.
@duca: Exactly, i paid $1095 for my 6700xt during covid dont regret it one bit. This was replacing a HD series 7970 from 2012 which was getting pretty incapable of gaming.
The existence of more expensive options alone doesn't make this great value, IMO.
Relative to them it does, whether or not it matches your own perceived value.
@filmer: It's hardly perception. Factoring relative cost-per-frame and broader market trends, a prospective buyer would have to be in urgent need of a GPU and have somewhat niche peeformance requirements to make this a "great deal".
Yeah, as per HU, fair price is ~ $700.
but with how the next gen gpus are priced, this is still great value
Nap. don't fall into the trap :)
This price is extremely competitive in FPS/$ in both 4k and 1440p. $5.20 on average per frame beats the 6600XT
Damn was after this model but the shipping 💀
Shipping is free with prime.
Prime is free with trial
Trial is free with email
@digitizer: Its handy to have access to your own and the best way is to be with $30 felix mobile, unlimited data at 20mbs or vodafone when they have 500gb plans on offer if your family has the bundle 20% discount as it brings the $65 plan -10CR -20% =$44
and you get online storage, prime tv streaming, prime music ~ AU its awesome value
If you can wait till March to receive this card then it's better to wait for Afterpay deals on March as well, since some of the best gpu prices was during last March Afterpay days
Thanks for the reminder. I’m hoping for some good deals this year!
Agreed
Won't be the case this year. We already seen how turds black friday sales were for GPUs.
Point is black friday sale already sucks on 2021, BF 2022 just getting worse but basically the same.
Good price given they go for around this much second hand
Inflated prices on next gen or not, the pricing is what it is. This is only $60 higher than ATL without the hassle of afterpay nonsense. This is cheaper than Black Friday sales last year.
I honestly didn’t think we’d ever see a 6800XT for this price ever again - go check staticice, they start at 1199!
This is a great deal - great find OP.
Soon we'll have the equivalent of the Steve Keen podcast for GPUs on OzBargain, with the ever-around-the-corner 50%-off-RRP crash that never materialises…
Just pulled the trigger on the non-XT model yesterday, cancelled it and got this one instead.
I paid like the same price for the non XT model about 2-3 months ago, so this price is pretty good!
I haven’t seen good price GPU since 6900xt at around $999 last year. Couldn’t believe old gen GPU has price rise.
With miners pressure washing gpus and causing the core to crack, old stock that has not been sold still holds value,
I've posted this before.
TechSpot / Hardward Unboxed recently did a Cost Per Frame article / video but the prices are in USD MSRP.
Here's a table with OzBargain best prices sorted by highest 4K Average FPS.
This is just a personal spreadsheet.

|---|---|---|---|
| 4090 | 177 | $2,799.00 | $15.81 |
| 7900 XTX | 142 | $1,789.00 | $12.60 |
| 4080 | 136 | $1,799.00 | $13.23 |
| 7900 XT | 118 | $1,439.10 | $12.20 |
| 3090 Ti | 112 | $1,999.00 | $17.85 |

You won't buy this card for 4k but at 1440 P and no RT it's a killer cards that gives high fps , and will last you years for that resolution, smart buy right now
Agreed, I love my "old" PowerColor Red Devil 6800, such great build quality, and is still beast for 1440P gaming (non-ray tracing).
Depends what your expectations are for 4k as well. It certainly won't do 4k120 in everything, but I sometimes hook up to the TV and can play most of my catalogue at 4k without dramas, e.g. RDR2 with FSR quality at ~70fps or Doom at native 4k120.
Yeah true but usually 4k enthusiast spend big on 4k monitor , card for RT etc, no point being a cheapskate at 4k and turn down settings 🤣, just play 2k, and even uw this card is really good at
Bro I’m playing RDR2 on 1440p with a 6800xt aorus and it struggles with frame rates in areas with intense lighting and reflections. RDR2 is too demanding for high quality 4K performance haha
@Bobbson Jagnut: Need to optimise your RDR2 settings. There's plenty of settings that do very little to visual quality, but are killers on performance.
I can run RDR2 at 4k with a GTX 1080….sure I only get a consistent 35ish FPS (ie consoles!), but claiming you something like a constant 60fps using this card with GOOD settings is impossible, is not true.
I also have a 4k monitor for productivity/work. Not everyone gets a 4k monitor purely for gaming (nor needs to match that with a 4090 for 4k @ 120fps at Ultra settings)
@thargelios: Well, I ran through the Hardware unboxed video (both parts) but I’m still not getting bogged down in certain parts of the game. I hold 90+fps consistently when riding in the open world but some places, like Saint Denis at night or valentine in the day really affect performance.
I think I’ve done the best I can. I’ve gone through every setting using the HUB vid as reference. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was some lighting affect I could switch off and get a lot more firepower back.
But yes! You’re right, this card should do 60+ at 4K with settings turned down - sorry long day at work.
@Bobbson Jagnut: Could it be your cpu holding you back? Those are both pretty busy areas. Pretty sure my min fps in the rdr2 benchmark was like 60fps. I have a 5600x for reference
@snep: Haha I’m on a 5800x3d so I don’t think so. Very possible that there’s some setting that I’m overlooking but honestly I’m happy playing on high settings and getting the frame rate I am.
Do you get drops on yours or is it stable all the way?
@Bobbson Jagnut: Hmm evidently not that then lol. Depends what you mean by drops, but I haven't noticed what I would call any significant drops subjectively. Then again I'm not super fussy about framerate, above 60 with adaptive sync and I'm happy for rpgs
yep I run a 6800 at 1440p since release. It absolutely smashes it out of the park for that res. No regrets on my purchase at all.
Can someone explain to me why this would struggle with 4K even though the table says it can output at 94 fps? Do you mean it'll struggle with performance gaming or even simply playing 4K movies?
I'm running the 5700XT in 4K 60fps to a TV and sometimes I do notice the 4K movies go patchy/grey/audio desync issues but I thought it was more of a VLC codec issue than my GPU - is the actual cause my old GPU and would upgrading to this card help? Any advice appreciated!

Have you tried a program other than VLC? Does it happen with 4K videos on YouTube? I would have a tough time blaming your graphics card, unless it's faulty, since my HTPC's APU has been outputting 4K fine (though at a max of 30 frames, not 60).
@Diji: I've tried multiple players, others have even more issues than VLC it seems. It mainly happens to the very high quality files >20GB. I assume it isn't a HDD transfer bandwidth issue since I'm running a Evo Pro NVMe. Would the processor be an issue? I'm running some crappy i5 I think, I thought it was mainly the GPU that was used in decoding movies, surely the CPU isn't the cause?
@Smol Cat: it is probably your CPU struggling with decompression. Video playback will not make that card even break a sweat.
@gromit: Hmm I already have it set to GPU decoding in the settings so that shouldn't be the issue, unless it still uses some CPU?
@Smol Cat: it does still use some, just take a look in task manager to record resources in use while you are doing playback.
@gromit: Yeah at the time when I checked it was hardly CPU loaded, at like <30% so I assume that isn't the issue.
@Smol Cat: Does it consistently happen with the same files? That is, are there certain files it happens with and others it doesn't, or is it intermittent? I wonder if it could be something to do with certain HDR formats. Also perhaps an obvious thing you've checked - have you tried different HDMI cables?
As for GPU vs CPU decoding, that's usually an option in a given player. It's been a long while since I've mucked about with that sort of thing or codecs since I only watch things on my HTPC which runs Libre Elec so that stuff is basically handled for me system wide via Kodi's decoding settings.
@Diji: It's pretty consistent for those big UHD files. Just always seems to happen.
That's a good idea I haven't thought of - I'll try the cable, maybe I have a crappy one that doesn't allow enough bandwidth.
Have it set to GPU decoding in VLC already as my CPU is trash.
@Smol Cat: Another "I don't know wtf to do" kinda solution you can try is grab DDU off of guru3D and wipe the drivers then fresh install. I haven't had to do that in ages but you never know.
A lot of those prices are unobtainable.
That's true. The full version of the table also has current best price, but I haven't been managing it so I didn't want to post misinformation. 3090 seems unobtainable at any price.
I'm still HODLing, but if you really must buy in this triple-what-they-should-cost market, this is an exceptional deal.
I suspect this game of pricing chicken will crack soon and prices will rapidly fall close to reasonable again sometime this year. But who knows.
I'm a simple guy. Without speculating on what may come tomorrow this is very good today. Well done OP.
I've crept up in budget from an A750, to an A770/ RX 6700 and now to this - I think this is the card to go for; unless anyone has any alternate thoughts?
Agree. Buy now.
Buy now think later. Great price
Thanks both for your comments - Pulled the trigger; in the unlikely event that there is a better alternative in the next month I'll just cancel the order
I am using 5600XT for two 2k monitors and it is lagging in daily usage. I'm wondering how long could it last before getting a new one as this one is already 2 years old… I bought it anyway
Managed to get second hand Gigabyte OC for $550 last week Non mining supposedly. There's usually a few around. Happy hunting
$550 for a used 6800 XT? Where?
I've seen nothing under $800 everywhere I look, even after trying to haggle down other sellers who've had their listings up for weeks.
same as TheBargainDog, where did you find for that price, wanting a second hand one for second machine but anything on ebay or gumtree is well north of that price.
Facebook marketplace. Listed 650. Haggled down to 550
Been really happy with the 6700XT with an i5 11600k gaming at 1440p. Would've stretched the budget for this for longer future proofing!
6700XT is an absolute ripper card for the price.
Good brand for AMD, I was the group who got the 909 AUD Asus 6900xt and honestly i have no regrets
I was the group who got the $1900 one and no regrets :D
Got 6800 for $700 few months ago, playing 4K 60hz monitor. FPS at ultra setting (all max without RT) for 4k on AAA games like Shadow or Tomb Raider or Callisto Protocal at around 35 to 48 avg fps. Other like games Genshin Impact 4k ultra setting running 60fps with less than 40-60% utility, 6800xt should around 11-12% faster avg. This should be great cards for 1440p, 4K may be.. Hope this may help someone to decide.
At a guess most people still waiting for a price drop on last gen GPUs aren't running 4k so it would be a good solution for the majority.
what is the hashrate?
I believe it is LOL hashes/second these days
good price if you can also claim the 2 free games. I got an ex mining taichi 6800xt with 3 months warranty, back in November/December for around 620 (eBay & zip pay special).
it really has all the performance you need. bf2042 in uwqhd between 120 and 140fps (capped at 140, not rt).
Spiderman remastered & Morales 60 - 120 fps, varies quite a bit. everything maxed + RT).
800 is ok, definitely better value than what we've seen for the past 2 months, I would still wait for a better deal. you are just getting a standard, no bells and whistles /rgb 6800xt.
I'd be pretty surprised if you could get the game offer given its coming from Amazon US, list of approved retailers here: https://www.amd.com/en/promotions/game-bundle-radeon
Amazon is listed as one of the US retailers. Are we purchasing from Amazon US or Amazo Aus?
I assume you would need to purchase directly from Amazon US to get that offer. This deal is purchasing from Amazon US via AU. But you can always try.
If you buy direct from US site then it does qualify for the games (see below)
Congratulations. Your new purchase just earned you a code to redeem up to 2 free games when you buy select AMD Radeonâ„¢ RX 6000 Series graphic cards. You will receive an email within 5 days after your item ships with your digital code. Please note only qualifying AMD Radeonâ„¢ 6000 Series graphics cards and shipped and sold by Amazon.com are eligible for this promotion. One benefit per customer. Offer runs November 8, 2022 - February 4, 2023 while supplies last.
Price though is USD614 (AUD871), or AUD887 if buy using AUD from Amazon. Guess it comes down do whther the 2 games are worth more than AUD50.
you can buy both games as a bundle for $58 (better off just buying for $822 IMHO)
https://www.g2a.com/dead-island-2-the-callisto-protocol-amd-…
@valco: that's amazing. I didn't know that g2a was selling those amd codes. i really wanted dead island and callisto protocol.
thank you very much. always worth it reading the comments, that's where the deals are!
I bought an XFX QICK RX 6800 from Amazon US, via Amazon AU and didn't get the offer so I think you would have to buy it via the Amazon US site directly and pay the postage.
Thinking of getting this to do a new build using the NZXT H1 v2 case.
CPU wise, is it worth waiting for the 7800X3D?
Need to get the mobo, ram etc. as well.
Most people usually use intel 13600 or 7700 with 4080 or 7900xtx. Using 7800x3d for 6800xt a bit overkill (spend too much on CPU, too little on GPU).
Shipping is over a month, but I also haven't seen one of these in stock at this price for ages
