Huh. The Micro Center here has pretty much been fully stocked on AMD cards for months now, and frankly lot of Nvidia cards sitting now. The lines outsides I think haven't been a thing for a while.Yes: got a stock AMD version from Micro Center (US tech-oriented physical retailer) on the day of release (waited outside), at the MSRP of $479 USD (before tax).
The RX 6700 XT was trashed by a lot of online tech websites (that seemingly ignored the reality of current COVID-19 pandemic conditions & pricing), so I figured that a lot of folks would buy too much into such reviews, and not show up (talked to other folks in the outdoor queue, and they had the same idea I did). It was available for well after 9am in the morning: last guy got his at 10am, which (a year ago) was practically miraculous, especially for all the lines outside Micro Center at the time for halfway decent gaming video cards. Shows that we really need to read carefully between the lines of reviews, instead of blindly accepting whatever reviewers say as gospel.
Side note: later that night, sold my RX 5700 XT for well over the cost of my RX 6700 XT ...
What's this $480 Thursday you speak of?Jump on board the Thursday $480 AMD train and proceed to laugh at $500+ 3060tis.
Thursday morning AMD Direct queue. 9:55 est to join, then at 10 or so everyone gets a random wait time. Past 3 weeks has been easy to get msrp 6700xts, or a 6900xt if you want it. Even if it says more than an hour, usually once the 6800s disappear the queue shortens by a lot.What's this $480 Thursday you speak of?
That is great news. Specially since I took a random day off this Thursday. Time to set a reminder and hopefully luck out. Tempted to try and get a 6800XT from that then since I was getting close to buying a 6700XT at $600 +/-. Thanks a lot for the info.Thursday morning AMD Direct queue. 9:55 est to join, then at 10 or so everyone gets a random wait time.

You'll need luck for the 6800s, they go faaaaast.That is great news. Specially since I took a random day off this Thursday. Time to set a reminder and hopefully luck out.

Guess I'll leave it to chance. If I get in for a 6800 I'll get that. If not I'll grab a 6700XT.You'll need luck for the 6800s, they go faaaaast.

Ah, somehow missed this piece. My bad.on its release date last year (March 18th, 2021)
Which card?Not happy with the coil whine
Don't know which one they got. But watching reviews before I ordered mine it sounds like all have a chance of having coil whine.Which card?
AMD directWhich card?
POS?My amd direct 6700xt just arrived, with POS increasingly likely soon, gonna return it unless someone wants it at cost.
mine was similar. supposed to arrive on a wednesday. delayed to thursday. delayed to friday. delayed to saturday. They tried to deliver saturday at 9am. I was gone, hiking. I signed the doortag and they left it on sunday, around noon.WTF FedEx.... Shipped originally Friday. Expected Sunday. Delayed until Monday on Saturday. Now delayed until Tuesday....
As an added bonus sold my GTX 1070 on Saturday. :-/ Starting to have withdrawals.
Proof of stake. Ethereum.POS?
Reviews were hard on it mostly due to the pricing. Its a mostly 3060 ti level of performance----and occasionally matches or beats a 3070. but, only $20 less than a 3070 (founder's edition), $80 more than a 3060 ti (founder's edition). And it does lack some of the features Nvidia has. Such as great video encoding quality, DLSS, and better ray tracing performance (but also, some cool tools for streamers or business users----Nvidia broadcast. Which uses CUDA and Tensor cores to do noise removal from audio, and background blur/removal/replacement for cameras).Holy shit 120FPS @ 2K on the FF VII remake max settings with only a i7-7700k driving it. I can't believe reviews were so hard on this card.
I mean yeah, if 6800s and 3070s were actually available it would be a somewhat different story. As of now it's the best native 1440p GPU for the price.Holy shit 120FPS @ 2K on the FF VII remake max settings with only a i7-7700k driving it. I can't believe reviews were so hard on this card.
Who in the hell buys a 5700xt for $800? Maybe I should pull the 5700xt out of my VR machine if they are going for that much.Ihuge step up over my 5700xt, which I sold for $800. Do the math, I got a better card and I made $300 profit.
Maybe if you get lucky (on eBay at least). Nowadays they average much closer to $500, which is still a pretty good sale.Who in the hell buys a 5700xt for $800? Maybe I should pull the 5700xt out of my VR machine if they are going for that much.
it was 6 months ago, right in the middle of high prices. And it was $1000 lol, ebay took out their cut.Who in the hell buys a 5700xt for $800? Maybe I should pull the 5700xt out of my VR machine if they are going for that much.
Yes I got two, one for the kid, and I do not regret the purchase one bit. Does 1440 gaming with no problems..Just seems hardly anyone has one or admits to having one.
I have one! Yes I know when it came out people were like "where does it fit?" and later on that is still the case. But a lot of reviewers seem to forget that whilst it wasn't much of an upgrade from previous gen...for those of us on a RX480 or similar...big leap!
I got mine purely because last summer 6700XTs were the only mid-high end card available in the UK in any number. I got mine for £630 but they went up a lot more and are now back to that price.
I've enjoyed it. It's done all i want from it. My brother is now enjoying the RX480...(he had a 2GB 7850 before).
Anyone else in the 6700XT club?
AMD has a beta driver out, which improves DX11 performance.I love my 6700xt for 1440p. The only problem game was God of War around the shore of 9. Kept getting into the 40-60s even with FSR set to Quality. But beyond that its been great.

It's buggy for me with video playback, though. So, Waiting for next full release driver.
