RTX 3060 reviews... Apparently only between 5-8% faster than a 2060 Super for a more expensive price 
RTX 3060ti seems to be a much better buy.

Yeah it makes sense, it's missing like what 25%-30% cuda cores from 3060 Ti? Where as a 3060Ti is only down like 20% cuda cores compared to 3070. 3060 Ti is really the "best buy" in Nvidias lineup at MSRP, maybe just slightly more value than 3070.
Also dropped a bit of memory bandwith from 3060 Ti where as 3060 Ti has same memory bandwith as 3070.

What are we feeling on (not that it matters cuz no stock) on 6700XT and 6700 pricing next week?
I think the 6700XT they will push to $449 and 6700 will be $379. 6700XT outperforming 3060 Ti but not a 3070 while the 5700 will be slightly slower than 3060 Ti and easily outperform a 3060.
Hoping they could keep pricing like last gen and go $349/$399 again though for 6700/6700 XT.

Don't forget the 25% tariff that will be tacked on.

Hey Blue, reminder, my friends' card shop opens tomorrow in Houma with opening day sales, with some Case breaks and ex-Saints players signing autographs.
Come check it out, Nymeria and I will be there at 10AM and back around 2PM.
Down South Cards and Bats
Edt: Take pics with Hooters girls must be for the kids. I remember how pumped up I was to visit Hooters as a kid.

It's an hour from New Orleans on HWy90.

Ppl talk New Iberia, idk man.

Thats really where AMD would be most effective, even with the tariff.

Reports now saying $479/$499 for 6700 XT
Wow they have really gone upmarket if thats the case, no more value brand any more

Either that or they have a 6600XT coming, which would be the successor to the 5600XT.

That was a $279 MSRP card though, my point was it seems like they are charging way more (sticker speaking only) for this, so I would expect a 6600 XT to also be much more overpriced vs. previous gen $279 price point. Realizing pricing matters for not right now but man, if the 6700 XT is $500 it better be at least as good as a 3070.

Again. You do realize that there is a 25% tariff in place now, correct? MSRP does not matter. There is a huge supply chain issue AND there's a tariff in place. Prices are not going to make sense until both are resolved.

Guess you missed the multiple times where I've said price doesnt really matter right now (since there's no supply).
But point is the MSRP was set pretty high in comparison to the 5700 XT, and by competing with the 3070 almost directly now (price and performance) AMD isn't really a good "value" option much anymore unless you consider the 6900 XT vs. 3090. They are charging nvidia pricing basically now for similar performance. It was like "oh damn I can get a $400 AMD card (5700 XT) that has near $500 nvidia card performance" previous gen.
I'm not necessarily arguing , just stating facts, they've risen prices up a lot and are positioning themselves as a premium product now instead of a good value. While I think overall they are pretty much there - especially on CPU side, I still think nvidia has a big leg up on them in some cases like Ray tracing and DLSS which is worth something. I think the 6700 XT is more a $449 card when you factor in stuff like that.
Hardware unboxed had a big survey of their base that basically stated the same. How much cheaper do they think AMD cards should be compared to nvidia cards assuming similar performance but lacking a DLSS feature and any real ray tracing support and the results of that were 6-10% cheaper.

MSRP is a thing of the past anyways, but 5700XT MSRP right now is 399$ due to the tariff and shortage. Safe to say without the 6700's would be ~ 100 less as well. Not enough ray tracing games out there for me, and I plan on getting a new GPU in a year or so anyway, maybe ray tracing will be worth it then, maybe not.

BTW if anyone can find a 5900X for MSRP i'll give you 100$+MSRP and pay shipping.
