Prices are definitely getting better but I'd rather see a $50 drop and not get the games. I've been keeping my eye on 6700 XT prices since that GPU ought to hold me over for my long-term plans, but I'm not about to get it when the 7000 series could potentially offer something better than that for an MSRP that is lower than today's sale prices.
Normally, I don't really like waiting for the next best thing because there pretty much always will be months later, but AMD and Intel have both been making significant changes. This chiplet design is a big deal - the architecture itself might not be all that improved but the price:performance sure ought to be. My criteria is finite and while the 6700 XT has performance that fits my criteria, the 7000 series might do the same at a lower price and wattage.
As for Intel, I'm heavily anticipating their low-end 13th gen i5s. It should yield (IMO) the right combination of P and E cores with good efficiency at a much better price than AMD, while still having boost clocks that should offer more than enough performance for whatever I intend to throw at it.
considering they're holding back the 7800xt this makes great sense...there are a lot of 6800xt (but not so much of the 6800) and 6700xt going for reasonable prices (now). this is a good time to buy a 1440p/ wqhd card

Indeed. I've seen 6700xt going for 400$ sometimes even below that although its a cheapest asrock challenger is still a nice deal.
If we only knew that rdna2 would support fsr3.0 it would definetely worth every peny.

i was waiting for the embargo to lift to decide if i wanted another 6900xt. given that the really nice aib 6900xt's are going for the $700-800 this was worth the wait.
and i will be getting a 7900xt. unfortunately i won't be able to head 2 head them because one system is ryzen 3 and one is ryzen 4 (i mean i could, but i doubt if i'll actually have the time to run four sets of tests).

AMD fans should really get rx6000, seeing as rx7000 will not offer any price-to-perf uplift anyways.
Who knows with the inflation going on, by the time rx7000 come out their actual street prices will get inflated by a lot.
