"AIB partner cards are selling for $570-$600 at the cheapest level, which is only a $91-$121 price hike over MSRP. "

"Only" 15-20% over MSRP.

That's typical of the AIB tax.

No. It's only "typical" during crypto-crazes, pandemic supply line issues, etc.

When the world was normal, buying at MSRP was considered either foolish, or an "early adopter's tax."

These are probably like already sold out lol.

Why does it say pax east was 21-24 but this was published 25th?

"RX 6900 XT's are averaging $1100 -- just $100 over MSRP"

That's not that bad. AIB's often come with better cooling, overclocked and potentially better bin selection.

Though the article has inaccurate information. You can pick up a sapphire 6900xt right now for $1040. Or a gigabyte for $1150 with a $150 rebate (so comes to $1000). Though anyone spending 1k on an AMD card is an absolute fool considering its Ray tracing performance..

Meanwhile the 5950X is out of stock at Amazon, B&H, and Newegg, so is supply REALLY improving, or is AMD just hoarding?

Honestly, rn if there's still even half the pricing and/or availability gulf that there was a year ago then I'd still choose AMD over Nvidia every time for my needs, RT and it's niche uplift be damned.
Was better (wanting 3440x1440 60+fps ultra AAA perf to last a few years) to pay £1200 for a 6800XT that I could have within the week against £2000+ for an equivalent level 3080 that I'd be in a wait list for, stock ETA TBC but likely 2+ months (even 3070's cost more than a 6800XT and as much as a 6900XT at the time) Even with RT and it's maybe two games supported per year that I might look twice at. I'd still take the AMD if that difference was cut by even 90% rn.

There's 3080 ti's in stock at msrp (1200$) right now at least in the U.S. and 12gb 3080's at 1k mark for a while now. Either are better options imo.
