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'.
Did a price check, prices are on pair on most 6900XT's that are not in stock regardless of brand, way under half the price than the example from that shop being absolute arses.
I won't buy any GPU in the near future and probably never if this madness continues, f gaming when it comes to that tbh.

Sorry for the complete off topic here:

Please visit my 4-way sli thread, been going on for almost 2 years, and no, I don't play games at all really, all of my time, everything is devoted to nothing but that(Tuning/Testing/etc).
