Isn't... Isn't $329 the MSRP?

My good sir, this is neither hot, nor a deal, nor a giveaway.

Fair enough. I saw a 4060 ti for $400, the 16GB varient, and then I saw this, saw the 16GB framebuffer, and thought, hey, that looks like a deal! (If you wanted a 16GB card.) Then I started to realize, this is a normally $270, current street price $230 card in it's 8GB variety.

To my credit, this is, as far as I am aware, the cheapest brand-new 16GB framebuffer GPU on the rmarket, but if this is list price $329, then it's indeed not a deal. Hard to keep up with the cutting edge of GPU prices.

That said, GTX `1650 cards by Gigabyte are all near $400.

Yeah GPU pricing is a mess right now.

I think these 16gb low end cards were more of an anchor to keep card prices on the 8gb stuff from cratering.

Honestly, if the RX 7600 non-XT (8GB model) dropped in price to $150, I wouldnj't mind. That would mean that the 6400 would be $100, and the 6500 XT would be $110, at most.

That's basically the pricing tier that the 570/580 sat at for most of it's life.

Then we might see a $200 RTX 4060 to compete,.

Edit: That would effectively make the 16GB 7600XT $200, which again is mostly in line with 570/580 pricing for most of it's life. C'Mon AMD, whatcha waiting for?

Vex... some commentary on the current state of the GPU market. ("Boring")
