You can expect AMD to announce the Radeon RX 6700 XT on March 3 with a starting price between 479 and 499 dollars for the reference models.

Expect AIB cards to get more expensive though, in the 500 USD range. YT channel Moore's Law is Dead claims that there will be larger availability of the Radeon RX 6700 XT. However, where the channels is basing that on, is unknown. You also need to weigh in the current state of the cryptocurrency mining business. Radeon RX 6700 XT would be based on a NAVI 22 XT GPU, very likely 40 CUs/2560 SP. The memory should total 12 GB at 192 bits.

The base model is thought to outperform GeForce RTX 2080 Super, and would be roughly comparable to the RTX 3060 Ti which costs $399 (well, at least it should cost that). The OC variant of the 6700 XT would offer higher clock speeds and performance closing in on the RTX 3070 range, that card would however get a higher 230W TGP. AMD will formally present the card at 5:00 PM Western European Time upcoming Wednesday.

MSRP, the card Is high priced.

If they are actually sold at MSRP, it a better deal than the present inflated price.

What a strange GPU market is are in.

Well, I guess I'm skipping this generation too...

Nearly $500 for a mid-range GPU is stupid.

So... we talking about AMD raising their MSRP from 5700XT to 6700XT or is it only Nvidia that's raising prices?

Honestly, whatever card you can get to the etailer (besides 3090 maybe), they just sell. I hope AMD can offer this by the masses, so at least people have a chance to buy something they like, instead of complaining about prices and not even getting a card even if you want to buy one.

This whole situation made 1080TI cards ever better deal than before.

What's the point to announce a "mid range" card that is already out of stock???

This msrp screams stagnation in performance for dollar, $600cad for this gtx 1080 was the best value to performance I have ever gotten. Even now if i could get cards at msrp i would have to pay the same for very little increase to performance.
