Sapphire Radeon 6700 graphics cards with 10GB memory inbound?
It appears that Sapphire will shortly introduce an unannounced Radeon RX 6700 desktop graphics card. This graphics card would contain 10GB of memory and fewer processing cores than the Radeon 6700 XT.
This is what the technology website Cowcotland asserts, Sapphire will provide two models, the 6700 and 6700 Pulse. Two cards with comparable technical specs but slightly different cooling systems. In both cases, we find a NAVI 22 GPU with the same specifications as the RX 6700M: 36 CU, 2308 SP, and 36 Ray Accelerators. There are additionally 80 MB of Infinity Cache memory and 10 GB of 160-bit GDDR6 memory at 16 Gbps. Both cards provide Game Clock frequencies of 2330 MHz and Boost Clock frequencies of 2495 MHz. The card interface is PCI Express 4.0 16x, and both models require a single 8-pin connector. The non-RX 6700 has Dual Slots, however the RX 6700 Pulse has 2.2 slots. On both versions, there are three DP 1.4 and one HDMI 2.1 port.
Prices will begin at 569 euros, with in-store availability beginning on June 9.

1) hopefully as the refresh sales are strong and still holding @ MSRP this card comes along and does the same.
2) @ MSRP this is a good value and a good amount of memory (for this part of the market) and should be a solid recommend for mid-range gaming.
the following is an observation of the market and does not slam or discredit Nvidia in any way.
right now (in the US) because of the Nvidia refresh supplies are good in the enthusiast segment.
but the prices remain high for many reasons, some controversial and not worth getting into.
so this entry by AMD in this part of the market helps them with what i frankly have considered lackluster below the 6800/6900/50 which are rockstars and value leaders.
3) it appears that because of the issues regarding mining (mainly 'cuz they have pre-refresh) this refresh is being left alone for the moment so i would highly recommend (as long as you don't "need" S.O.T.A.)
that anyone put off in the market segment go ahead and buy this or the Nvidia refresh as it will be solid.

typically that would just be so wouldn't it?
my question however, given that ya' know "enthusiast", at what point does the spec outperform usage?
and to the point what is also typical is that the current mid range is at the performance of the old high end. which is true in this case, but the difference being the "enthusiast" entry price then is the "new" mid range price now.
and so on and so on
but it "ain't" greed or "just" Covid, it's the difference between packing a house up x 1,000's (the industry not people) and unpacking it after it's been in storage. life is not "on demand".
but what resolution are you at? this isn't a 4k card and neither was the former entry level enthusiast.
this is a 1080p to 1440p card depending on the refresh target you have.
and to this point the gpu manufacturers are all for the display manufacturers 8k push so if you wait a decade yeah then you can get a 4k gpu cheap.
I guess 550-600 euros is the new standard for lower mid-range gaming cards. I'll just wait for the next gen and be prepared to pay that much, then. It will give me more performance than this gen for the same money, obviously.

1080p. As long as this Eizo lasts. However, I personally believe that if you are gaming at 1080p, it's wise to get a card that would be decent enough for 1440p. That's why I'm not interested in the made for 1080p cards, which would, these days, be very much low mid-range. Entry level cards seem like a bad idea if you intend to play modern games at all.
