First AMD Radeon RX 6x50XT Card Pricing Posted by Italian Retailer

[Tek-Check]

"Posted by Italian Retailer"​

maybe the price is from the extra tomato sauce tax

Hahaha! The price is insane. Buyers should show them a middle finger and call it a day.

Someone drilled a hole in the boat. This intentional leak is meant to create fluff and used higher than normal pricing to do it with, let the fake hype begin! Dont get me wrong, this also does boost anticipation so they can land the whales early on.

I strongly feel this 'light' mid-life refresh, along with the influx in availability of current offerings is preparation for selling multiple generations of product concurrently. This would allow them to retain the 'new pricing model' on new releases that the mining craze + wuflu lockdown caused us to accept, and 'near release MSRP' on previous generation products.

May just be place holder pricing for the website.

 

[GamerGuy]

Go home AMD, you drunk.

The retailers are price gouging, not AMD's fault, though AMD could have tried to enforce the MSRP....same goes for nVidia!

 

[GorbazTheDragon]

Disappointed by those cards, they could've changed add more CUs maybe add more infinity cache which could make them more powerful at higher resolutions.

Yeah spend all that effort to tape out new dies only to toss them in the bin before the end of the year when RDNA3 launches lol

Neither NV not AMD do this, it makes 0 sense financially.

Anyone taking these kinds of pre-launch pricing seriously needs to get their head checked. It was never and has never been indicative of actual pricing...

Yeah hurr Durr AMD prices 6400 over 50% above 6500XT hahaha are you out of your mind?

 

[TheDeeGee]

People will pay it believe it or not, it's why we can't have normal prices anymore.

AMD, NVIDIA GPU Pricing Approaches MSRP for the 7th Consecutive Month | TechPowerUp -> where? Show me these "near MSRP' graphics cards. In my country a 3060 is still going for 500 euro, the 6600xt is 550 euro and the only 3 cards I'd buy - the 6700XT, 6800 and RTX 3070ti are well over MSRP - and now this. No thanks.

Son regazzi...

The only worst thing about a scalping retail maniac is the willingly scalped consumer.

Let me explain this sitiation again: Adios My Dineros.

AMD milking the shortage tit to the max.

 

[PapaTaipei]

Probably money laundering mafia shop. No one buys this at this price, even if you are rich, you don't get rich by wasting money like that.

 

[ModEl4]

Why the fuss about some Italian retailer prices? They don't mean anything, probably the main guy opening new products in their website took a vacation due to Catholic Easter and the replacement just opened some drafts and forgot to tick the visibility box

"I could not resist any longer, I had to buy it, sorry guys".

Reddit is filled with comments like these, these guys simply have to consoom

 

[laszlo]

who buy two cards get a free pizza so prices are quite affordable no?

 

[thunderingroar]

Now you guys can get the idea of what prices are like in Europe. If you're not ordering from Amazon or some big retailer directly, you're f*cked. 6700XTs going for over 900€ here in Slovenia still. Amazon 6700 XT is as low as 630€. Insane.

Cant you just buy one from a german store like alternate/computeruniverse etc?

As I've mentioned, unless you're ordering directly from Amazon.de or some such store (not everyone in Europe lives in Germany), you get scalper prices. And you can't always get good postage from Germany. So it's a shit show, trust me. Our biggest PC parts store still has 6700XTs for 900+€ (more than 1k$US), so I call that f-ed up. Not to mention Nvidia prices. 1200€ for 3070? No thank you

Uhh really depends on country... Seen lots of cheap prices in Norway and Sweden, and where I live in the Netherlands (Amazon is pretty small compared to a lot of domestic resellers there).

Southern Europe in the past has usually been slower to get supply, slower for pricing fluctuations, and of order 3-10% over German pricing. It's not really a new thing or a scalping thing, it's just that they are buying from primarily German distributors so they have to pay more for shipping to their stores.

I wouldn’t be surprised at all. AMD already demonstrated to be not different from Nvidia or Intel… if not worse

Probably money laundering mafia shop. No one buys this at this price, even if you are rich, you don't get rich by wasting money like that.

Mafia shop ? Any other stupid comment about Italy ?

 

[Pap1er]

Price good, profit good

At this rate game developers will abandon PC or release games with low end graphics.
I think some people at Nvidia tried to look at the future releasing LHR gpu's but the majority decided to make a quick profit and said fu..k it.
In 10 years we will look at PC gaming like we look at Sega mega drive, good old days, giants like Blizzard have been bought by Microsoft and other game studios will eventually switch to consoles for good.
RIP PC gaming.

 

[progste]

Insane prices, hopefully no one buys them until they get lower.

 

[GoldenX]

What's with this Oreimo title.

Bait click is bait

Well, the article says: "These prices are simply pure nonsense and should not be taken as an indicator of what these upcoming cards will cost."

I do feel sorry for many in Europe who have to suffer VAT though.The prices really are improving in Australia though I haven't noticed any AMD GPU stock recently yet.
