Absolutely and we can apply the same logic for all inflated prices and even the joke that is the RTX 3080Ti, 6900 XT and RTX 3090 at MSRP.

Going back to last summer we were all discussing how much cards were overpriced, and Turing was taking the biscuit! Then the 3080 'flagship' was announced and we were surprised with the £649 price but were reluctantly swallowing it up as it was a damn site cheaper than the 2080Ti and better...
The cards you listed should never be above a grand really but now nvidia/AMD know what people are prepared to go to I think it may never be as realistic as past prices were.
As someone replacing Ryzen at each gen from 1600, 2600, 3600 and currently 5600x each change has brought better performance that is noticeable. This is with a vega56 as main card. while I play Arpg mainly like path of exile etc...its very cpu dependent more than people understand even at 1440p.
Yea, I refuse to pay double price so I wait for the 6700xt to come down, not in a rush.
Just got myself a 6700XT fighter as a swap for my Radeon VII.
Have to say I am very impressed so far with the performance jump at 1440p and most of all the noise.....there isn't any! The Ray tracing performance is also WAY better than I was expecting from it too
with the card at stock everything except for a +15% on the power slider i have managed a 28121 on firestrike and 11269 on Timespy. Do these seem like sensible scores or am I underachieving? I am seeing 2450 max boost clocks under load which i wasn't sure was a bit low. Tbh the card is still beautifully cool and quiet at those settings and would rather have that than 2 extra places on the firestrike board lol.

I have the Fighter 6700 XT in my son's PC and I have been pleasently surpised at how quiet and cool it runs even 1080p at 144Hz. If you want more do some undervolting and overcolck the VRAM to max and test for stability. Your scores are already there or thereabouts but some tweaking could get you close 5%-8% higher.
Thank for the reply, I think as long as I am there or thereabouts I think for the sake of 5% I might just leave it running standard.
I guess there is the possible benefits of it running a bit cooler undervolted to consider of course
Yes it's the cooler and quieter aspect that gets another boost with lower voltages. Having said that the 6700 XT Fighter is more than cool and quiet enough even at stock.

Yep MSI are good so no worries there and as the wise old Jedi says, 3 year warranty.
had a play around with undervolting and have 1135mv stable with min/max 2500/2600mhz on the core and 2100mhz on the memory
Full load playing Doom Eternal is was dragging a mere 170w! quite an impressive feat for that much power to be coming from so few watts

That's good to know at least.
Another question, what kind of GPU temperature is considered normal? Open Hardware Monitor is showing GPU Core at healthy 67c max. but GPU hot spot already reaching 97 degrees whilst playing Assassins Creed:Origins @2160p. Is this normal?
The case is Cooler Master H500M.
GPU hot spot is always a big number on any card, from what I am aware under 100 deg is absolutely fine, I think that 110 is the happy ceiling but tbh the card should be down-clocking itself before then to maintain sensible temps. Considering how intensive the AC games are that seems pretty good.
Absolutely this,
I have set my 6700xt at 1135mv undervolt with 2500 min and 2600 max core frequency and then 2100 on the memory. at full clout even when it was really hot last week the hot spot was late 80 to low 90 degrees. That was running CyberPunk and Doom Eternal Ultra Nightmare (Doom with RT) both @ 1440p. Mine is only the Fighter so a smaller heat sink than the MSI too
Welp that's what I'm trying to figure out.
The PC case has 3 huge 200mm fans + one 140mm in the rear. CPU cooler is kinda big aswell, CM MA612 stealth. One thing I could try is to change the case front panel to mesh version instead of the glass. Also would the airflow be better if removing the top rear 200mm fan which is pulling air from the case atm?
It seems that gpu hot spot temperatures are way different compared to the gpu core. It's just normally temperatures over 90c in PC gaming are something to avoid, that's why curious about it even if it this time around it would be somehow normal gpu behaviour.
How many fans do you have ?
