Yeah if they would have at least priced it at roughly the same MSRP at the 5700XT, it wouldn't be a bad buy at all.



I mean if it was a $399 MSRP card it would be an amazing value, but AMD is turning way too much into this "premium brand" now so it kinda sucks from that POV.

I got my 5700XT back in summer 2019 for $350 on a $50 off microcenter deal.

A 6700XT is roughly 25-30% faster than a 5700 XT looks like @ 1080p/1440p, but...is 20% higher MSRP too. Or costs 37% more than I paid for my 5700 XT 2 years ago almost. Holy cow, even at normal pricing there's no reason for me to upgrade, what a shitty value

Yeah same here, I find some similar, but not exactly the same.

Have you ever messed with bots to win auctions? About to set-up on an extra pi just to run ebay boys and PayPal payments.

Not really. There are free snipe tools you can use, which are just as easy, and then pay for the items after you win within eBay

I want to begin flipping base cards. Really just base rookies before the ramp up at the start of 2021 season.

Not really, I just have a 560 Ti and TITAN X (Pascal) in the closet.

Edt: I wouldn't, but they make splitters.

I've been making a pretty solid secondary income on flipping pokes up until November.

Now every neckbearded loser takes all their trump bucks and dumps it into this stuff to try and make a quick flip

This is one I might get, it barely fits graded vertically.

Right now I just keep them in a camera bag.

Yep, won't be good until after april imo.

For sports, just make sure to always get in before the seasonal ramp up.

Rumor has it that Best Buy will have a GPU drop tomorrow starting at 10am/est. not sure if it’s just the 6700xt, but it’s worth looking into.

I've wanted to make a little display shelf for my stuff, but I haven't found anything I've liked yet.

When looking for one of those display boxes for you, I can't across a lot of those display frames that look nice

For what, mining maybe?

That is a ridiculous price for the performance.
