So hours ago I won a newegg shuffle for this card for 700. I immediately bought it. It's the GIGABYTE Radeon RX 6700 XT EAGLE 12G version, which is hard to find info on but looks really sweet, it has three fans which I hope will help it run lower than what I've seen tested. To give you an idea I have an rx 580 4gb at the moment so this would be a HUGE upgrade. I also just finished my first ground-up build and the video card was the only thing I was missing. I am slightly disappointed I didn't win any of the other shuffles for the NVIDIA cards, as what I really want is a 3070... I guess beggars can't be choosers, it really is a very nice card, I don't need the very best i just need to finish my build.

Given current availability of similar products should I purchase this card or wait for something better? Of course I'd prefer a higher end card however I am beginning to grow restless.... I have an opportunity to get the FXF MERC 3 but again is it worth it?

I got an 6700xt for roughly 800 euros yesterday.

The problem is just getting worse, it went from no cards anywhere to some cards but double to triple the price not just scalpers but here in AUS the retail shops as well, let say you want a 6700xt you will have to pay more then what the 6800xt is meant to be sold for removing the logical reason to buy the cheaper card.

I got a 6700xt for 700usd today, there was a bunch for sale

I uh kinda why buy something from ifixit

in india 6700xt cost about the price of 6800XT about 1100-1300 usd thanks amd and indian retailers and distributors

WHAT HAPPENED TO RDR2 CASEMOD?!

6700xt 45-47mh/s vs 5700xt 50mh/s

Really glad I got RX 5700 XT though, would be quite a problem to get a card now.

I lucked into finding 2 of these on a trip to Micro Center to buy 3D printer filament. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time. I gotta say, I'm pretty satisfied with them. The only disappointment is that I couldn't grab a third that I could have sold to recover the cost of one lol.

With auto overclock I'm getting 2875mhz

only took 7 months but I finally got to order a 3070. By summer it will be obsolete (maybe).

I did got one, for 650€

I was going to build a new PC, then I looked on Newegg. Are you friggen kidding me?

We can't buy gpu this year XD

link for ifixit's newsletter is a non working link. just a heads up

After 3 months of searching for GPU's I finally got a 6700XT. Here in the UK the '30 dollar' difference between a 6700xt and a 3070 is a lot more. It is more like a £180- £220 price difference right now when looking at retail prices. I look forward to the release of FidelityFX, also can ray tracing be improved through software or driver updates or is it just hardware improvements?

Just ordered one in a prebuild in the U.K. Arriving tomorrow.

Paid $1000 for asrock pro variant. Yet to see if there’s anything in the box when it arrives.

you know what the good thing is, about the time they get the number of GPU's up to fix the market, all those that bought cards wont beable to sell their older ones for high enough to buy the new ones, nor would anyone buy them. opening the new better cards for the people whom were screwed over.

I love this NOSENSE reviews and comparations nowadays :D

I actually managed to get one off of Newegg. I realized that the Combo deals on Newegg usually stay in stock longer, giving you a better chance of getting a graphic card. unfortunately, the price was at 899 CAD, which is almost 1.5x the MSRP for the card. Also, that I fix it add was lit, prob the only in video ad that i have watched in a long time

Is "Stream processors" the AMD's name for "Shaders"?

Its like that Meme ( sings / Nobody cares! ) by AMD

we have few in one of our shops, but price is almost like 6800xt

I paid double the price due to the crisis we are facing with graphic cards sold out . For all the streamers . Grind Hard

Pffft now even Jayz shop is out of stock and cant deliver ....

Dude I went to micro center two days after the launch of this card and someone actually gave me their voucher for the 6700xt. Of course I lost my mind in disbelief and redeemed the opportunity to buy this new video card in sheer panic and excitement. It was worth it. The card goes for like 2k on 3rd party marketing and it's very depressing.

I hit like just cause of the ifix it segment... I must do a an ad for my store like this GET NOW DONT BE A PUSSY YEAH lol got 2 of these if anyone wants ...crazy pricing tho.. ;/

Liked the video right after I saw the iFixit add.

releasing the damn 6700xt just increased the prices of all 6800xt's. Thank AMD.

$535 @ micro center

Is it just me or msi went with the team rocket logo from Pokémon? 😭

I have one and it’s solid and for the price I got mine I’m happy out

I just bought this at MicroCenter. Going to build my gaming rig around it. First PC ever. This was all I could find though.

I got one today in store Sapphire Pulse. Online impossible unless you pay a kings ransom for one. I am hoping to trade mine for RTX 30 series. And some cash thrown in to get a 3080

Luckily I was able to get a 6700XT in my cart on launch day even with the site issues but site crashed at checkout and I lost it.

i wonder if gamers really buy an high end gpu for this kind of money or they are just for miners? cause i am not. and how are the sales going on for gaming industry cause you know no gpu no games

I got in February a 3070 Gygabite Eagle OC for 650 euros (80 to 90 eur above the launch price).. I hated overpaying that much back then, but now I unfortunately consider it a bargain.. 🤷‍♂️

i got one paying the normal price but had to wait in line for 8 hour at microcenter LOL . and it play games good .

managed to get one for msrp and refunded my 3070 whic i paid 200 over msrp for

I've seen the I FIX IT ad so many times but I can't look away!

I really like the 6700 XT, I got lucky at Micro Center which had one left it was expensive since it was the Red Devil Power Color version but I must say coming from a GTX 980 it’s a huge leap in performance and I’m blown away by it and the settings they have like AMD boost which I seen in the software settings to dynamically change resolution without impacting image quality to give better performance is a plus and I can utilize AMD Freesync on my MSI monitor now. I also spent 900 on the card because it costs 800ish but I got the protection plan as well. And gpu user benchmark shows its nearly on par with a 2080 which is impressive that an entry level mid card can reach a high end card in performance

This whole gen from both camps is a pass for me until cards are at MSRP. 3060ti and 6700XT are $800 CAD and that is out of line. Keeping my 5700XT for another year. Only paid $500 CAD for that a year ago.

Where lucky in Australia then, we still have some 6900XT and 6700XT, maybe I should buy and sell it to you guys in America

gpu has become such an abstract thing that you can only watch the reviews and you cant buy it or touch it like love

not gonna lie, that intro gave me ltt ptsd

lmao i have the 3090 and 10900k. My pc is god.

i got lucky at 2am last week had to pay double for it but got a 3060.

I got the XFX Qick RX 6700 XT . Well it's on its way to me. I got it from a retailer. I bought it more because I need a graphics card rather than that particular one. For my usecase it's actually quite overkill. But I don't want to spend similar money on a gtx 1660 or something.

BuT aMd Won

I got a 6800 Saphire for £699, i thought i was getting ripped off because it was £100 more than MSRP. Then 2 weeks later all retailers upped their prices by another £100. Shocking. I think it is only just worth £699 so definitely don't spend anymore than £700 on a 6800.

I never watch ads, but this ifixit clip just nails it 🤣👌🏻

I sent my 6700XT back today due to coil whine. Interesting that this is not mentioned anywhere. Depending on the FPS and load of the card, it gets extreme. In Cyberpunk 2077 it was a very loud beeping, in less demanding games like World of Warcraft, World of Tanks, it was quieter but still present. There were also various driver problems and I had to reinstall all drivers several times + clean up the registry. I can not recommend the 6700XT!

I am sick of hearing influencers wondering "why oh why are they even issuing a new card" when scalpers and miners will snap them all up. Manufacturing requires extensive advance planning/investment, where as mining and youtubers do not. Its not funny any more.

I just bought a 6700xt fe for $700 AUD is that a good deal?

*I only wish the Graphics Card industry a slow painful D**th! This isn't new with graphics cards selling out at ridiculous prices. Its only gotten worse. Anybody that's 35+ knows this to be true. Its been a slow consolidation with chips from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing! This only happens with International Monopiles*

PS I didn't get any and are still rocking EVGA 970GTX's and Ti660 FTW SLI Style! I'm going to Replace My MB, and CPU and Memory on my Cosmos 2's with 3950x's and leave the GPU's in both. I'm coming out of AMD Phenom' and 8350 ASUS Sabertooth's. Bad time to fully upgrade, but what I got and will get will work for now on Asus Tuf 570x's. G Skill NEO's

Going hypothetical with the 3070 any day for a while now.

Screw my loved one. I will buy ifixit for myself

Hardware Unboxed did an excellent test where they compare the 5700 XT vs the 6700 XT at same clock speed. Same performance.

I was able to snag a few and a 3090. Good times.

You cant buy it so why bother with these videos?

I'm the newbie aspiring PC builder here watching in hopes GPUs will be back in stock and I can finally build my first PC. I'll continue crying on the inside because it will not happen for a long while. Anyway, great video like always! I discovered your channel during the pandemic when I was doing research on how to build PCs and what to expect. Almost 6 months later...all the knowledge, and no GPU available for me to build my first PC. haha

Jay's Advertisment voice is annoying ugh..

To bad... If u like to wake up early and do a line ... yes u would have get it. I went to pick up a Ge76 Raider MSI with a 3080 16gb to microcenter and there was a line of more than a 100 people. Everyone got 1 6700xt. Now online is a different story lol.

I actually got selected in the shuffle for a Sapphire 6700XT for a little over $600. Plan to upgrade my wife's 570, though the flip temptation is real.

Just hit another 5 gpu with my bot hahaha😂😂

The RT 6700 XT is actually one of the very few graphics cards available in Belgium (prices between 900 and 1000 EUR). The other ones are mostly Quadro cards and some GeForce GT710 1GB cards

Sold my Vega 56 for $800 and bought a Sapphire Nitro+ 6700xt for $789. Fair swap. Feel good about it. Only card I could get my hands on.

If I had the money and the cards were freely available, then I'd definitely go with Nvidia. However, since I buy used, 4-ish years afterwards, then my prediction is that AMD would be a better offer, since the used prices will be a lot lower than the Nvidia counterpart, since not many people want to buy a used AMD card, for a variety of reasons.

I'm almost certain that AMD's raytracing handicap is software-based not, hardware-based.

It is just dirty business. I would be glad if all would goo bankrupt ! all advertise and stupid bitcoin

Metro Last Light Redux has ray tracing ???

Fuck data miners

If you're here in 2021 and you haven't into bitcoin already then you're late. But it's better late than never..

Got it today!

............yay..................

no haven't Jayson but I will be buying one in a few weeks but its going to be a gigabyte GeForce RTX 3080 vision OC 10gb GDDR6X graphics card😁😁😄😄😆😆😆😊😊😊

that ifixit ad was great lol

I swear this shouting about this ifixit crap really makes me press the unsubscribe button even tho i like your videos.

I have been trying to get my hands on one of these "30 series" since the very beginning as i am stuck at home unfortunately. being able to just do that and search online, all days. I still could not menage to get one! All sold out before i even try you see! And i was looking hard... "MS" stuck at home with a very old GPU 920gt now as my 1060 die oct2019. decide to buid a new Rig possibly the last rig as i knew new cards was on their way but also knew covid could slow down the build, which it did, you have no idea RMA etc.. everything out of stock... but i was excited, all hype up, youtubers boost me, they pump me "30 series 30 series 30 series" as i was trying to build my last rig which is still not fully complete as for today. GPU was my only remaning culprit and i was needed a new card, preferably a 30 series, 3070 to be exact, possibly 3080 any of these 30, i would take anyway. but you know the story again. All sold out before i even try you see! And i was looking hard... Here as for today even an used ASUS 1060 3GB here is around 400CAD used all the prices went up on every lvl My PC is all rdy for a bigger graphic card i always been mid power PC and i want to ultra experience for a change.

Imagine thant finding a GPU in Escape from tarkov is actually easier than in real life atm.

All these gpu paper launches are making me sad. Gonna Unsub cuz this is just bullshit. Wake me up when the pandemic is over

AMD is just screwing people out of their money now 🤣

I'm exhausted from this whole supply issue. I think I would still be exhausted even if I wasn't trying to finish my computer.

Can somebody who understands what is going on explain to me(us) why O' why GPU manufacturers don't like money? why can't they just make more if the market is skyrocketting on demand... This is so frustrating I need to upgrade my computer but I don't wanna pay a grand for a videocard, This has been going on for a while now, it appears to be a DRAM shortage, which happened before and will happen again as there is no way the demand ever goes down or low, unless they figure out how to make parts that last forever and ever, if they were to figure that one out, I'm betting everything I own they won't do it, so what's stopping them from upgrading their infrastructure to build more, it's not like that stuff is going to go to waste, demand for electronics is gonna keep going up. Anyways, that's my take on it and I would love for someone who actually knows what's up to clarify, tyvm, great content as ever, those Ifixit ads are evolving, lmfao!

They are upgrading infrastructure. The problem is that chip production factories take a few years to be made.

The more time goes by, the more I'm happy that I bought Vega 64 3y ago for 300€ and still using it.

The R looks like it's a Team Rocket gcard

I think you meant Metro Exodus instead of Last Light. I'm pretty sure Last Light doesn't have ray tracing, and the fps seem way to low for that title (that or my Vega 56 dominates this gen 😂)

yeah...its a mid range card! its better than 3060 but not as good as 3070! but even this were the best card in the World....it doesnt matter, cause no one can buy it!! Gpu reviews are useless nowadays, cause there are no gpus for the usual people in the wild.

That beat tho!!!!!

I went to micro center to get a 6700xt reference card and had to pay for a Msi oc edition for a whole 300 dollars more

When AMD came out with their mediocre 5000 series GPUs I promised myself I would never buy one. Now, I would be more than happy to get my hands on a used one without having to sell a kidney.

I would have liked to upgrade but the market is a sewer right now. PC gaming will die if this keeps up.

It would just be nice to be able to get a GPU to finish my first pc build... I don't care about mining.

I was wondering how the supply and demand issue on GPU’snd CPU’s is effecting the rest of the industry? I can’t imagine anybody wanting to build a new system if you can’t get all the components.

I can’t understand this supply and demand issue we are still having. Yes I know that there is now two groups of users for these GPU,s (gamers and miners). Yes I understand that the mass production of chips seems to be an issue. I can’t imagine why a business is not capitalizing on this situation and increasing the production numbers. It’s not like their income for these cards are increasing from the 300% msrp markup. I think they spend more money on PR and answering hate mail now. I’m pretty sure money can fix any supply and demand issues, even if you have to build your own manufacturing plant. And if that doesn’t do it, maybe we should all get an Ifixit kit and use it on these scalpers.

Because they literally can't. They literally can't build any more supply for a quick solution. If they could, they would.

I can't even use ray tracing with my XFX AMD Radeon RX 6800. I even contacted AMD support and they just had me uninstall it with a program they requested and reinstall they version the recommended. Didn't work. Now they won't even contact me.

I just bought an MSI RTX3080 VENTUS 3X 10G OC for $1069
