Found one in stock... but look at that price, retailers are the new scalpers.

And here I had thought paying 1350USD (local currency to USD) for my Sapphire Nitro+ RX 6900 XT was an act of utter madness.....
Edit - I don't understand why Asus/MSI/Gigabyte RX 6900 XT air-cooled cards are generally being sold at higher prices than PowerColor/Sapphire/XFX ones. I don't know about others, but I'd prefer PowerColor/XFX/Sapphire to Asus/MSI/Gigabyte as the former are AMD exclusive AIB partners. Just like IF I were to buy nVidia cards, I'd take Palit/eVGA/Leadtek/Galaxy/etc over MSI/Gigabyte/Asus because the former are nVidia exclusive AIB's partners.
That's why I have a PowerColor RX VEGA64 Red Devil and the Sapphire Nitro+ RX 6900 XT, as well as a Leadtek GTX 1080 Hurricane OC...I don't wanna pay more for Asus and its ilk simply because they're thought of as 'big names'.

What gets me is that the MSRP for the Reference 6900xt is what 999.99 USD and the 3rd party ones are like well over 1500-1600+ USD? 500-600+ dollars more over the stock reference, Very big jump in price, in my view, it ain't worth it, no offense.
Again I would rather get 2 Titan Xp's and it would certainly rival or slightly surpass 6900xt or the Mighty RTX 3090, Despite no Raytracing nor DLSS, just pure rasterization at a fraction of the price. LOL, almost 4k USD for these cards, come on man, again, 2 Xp's would give run for its money. I already got 4 Xp's for my future 4-way sli project(Waaaaaay in the future), Got one for 500.00 usd, The Star Wars Edition, Absolute beauty, can't beat the price, Card is still an animal, no doubt about it.
