*** AMD RADEON 6500 XT IN STOCK @ OcUK FOR £179.99 (PRICE SUPPORTED STOCK NOW SOLD OUT) ***

AMD needs something like this, but closer to the Xbox Series S spec.

On paper, the RX 6500 XT should be slightly faster, but it has a just 4GB of VRAM and lower memory bandwidth. Compare here:

Basically a 6nm improved version of the RX 6600 and RX 6600 XT.

The PC graphics market seems broken, because currently these graphics cards are significantly more expensive than the Series S console.

The price on the RX 6500 XT seems alright though, it's lower than a Series S.

I think for the price in this market, 179 was a good deal. Try buying a second hand card for that price.

in the current market not bad really but 4GB is like going backwards. hopefully the rtx3050 will not be much more come the 27 jan.

If the warranty is the only thing going for it versus used cards, it's not a great situation I'd have rather had a 6600 XT at (admittedly available for about 2 minutes) launch price, a much more powerful and efficient card that isn't so badly hampered by PCI-E 3.0.

The RTX 3050 (8GB) looks to be significantly more powerful than the Series S GPU:

Ordered a Sapphire version earlier while at work... Just got back and saw the reviews.

Live and learn. :/

Get it tommorrow, try it out for a few days, if not happy - send it back

I think if Nvidia can sell the RTX 3050 8GB for £300 or less, that would be reasonable value.

It looks like AMD is going to struggle at the low end. The TFlop advantage that Ampere cards have will be hard to beat.

Rumour is £400, and no FE cards or even an msrp

 

[g67575]

Crap then, not worth it. Isn't the RTX 3060 already sold for around £400?

EDIT - Nope these are silly money...

Already made the call to put a return on the delivery.
I can wait for now, my 5700g is just about getting me by for now.

If you got the promo price and have a PCIe4 motherboard, it might well be a decent deal in today's market. You might as well try it out!

Only if you pray to the FE gods for a drop.

Am I missing something, what makes the Asus cost £50 more than the powercolor? They're all clocked around the same

Isn’t that the 3060Ti rather than the 3060?

I really can't wait for the GPU market to come tumbling down on itself, and people desperately undercutting each other trying to sell on their overpriced cards once the second hand market is totally flooded as well. It's like a dam waiting to burst, you can see the build up and the swell, but the people in the village at the bottom are blissfully unaware, until BOOM! everything swept away. Might not be this year, but it will happen and second hand prices will be in the gutter for years.
