[SOLVED] A 5600 xt at 210 and not a sale? Scam??

[nbartolo7]

Currently looking on amazon for rx 5600s and found one that is priced at 210 pounds (around 274 US dollars) while all the others are priced at 240, 250, 280 pounds. Is this a mistake by amazon? it's not even a sale.

It's the Gigabyte Radeon RX 5600 XT WINDFORCE OC 6G (6GB GDDR6/PCI Express 4.0/MHz/12000MHz) . Here

This sounds too fishy to be true. Perhaps they've made a mistake and mispriced it. What do you guys think? Am I going to receive a 5500 xt instead? Should I risk this? Thanks

The seller looks to be Amazon. I'd say it is legit. Sometimes their algorithms give great temporary prices when sales are down. This can only last a few minutes or a few days. The prices go up when sales pick up. So, if you want it. Get it before the price goes back up.

It's a legit 5600XT. The problem lies in the whole last minute patch disaster surrounding 5600XT cards which you should have a look at, if you haven't already.

If you aren't willing to update the vbios yourself, well...

Honestly, even with the original BIOS, that still seems like a fantastic price, no?

Considering the most common software/hardware - no one really seems to know which, maybe both - issues with the 5000 series gpus, it leaves me with mixed feelings.

Me: The price is a steal, what do I have to lose?!
AMD: You get migraines of varying length if you're down on your luck.
Me: Uhh?

Well, assuming that things work, and that we're just talking the performance difference between the original BIOS vs the updated BIOS...

... then who cares, right? It was cheap.

I have a bad habit of overthinking things...

I suffer that condition as well. It seems to kick in most strongly when I'm trying to sleep.
