Of course Gibbo is essentially correct - in the current climate it’s a bargain. If it was a tiny bit better than the 3060ti I think people would be more excited but look at, say, the 6700xt at £650. The 3060ti recent deals are probably more attractive but they sold out immediately and the cheapest one you can buy on ocuk is £619. All ranges aren’t available to compare with all the others in genuine competition and comparison. Also if you need a card this is one of the best bangs per buck out there even tho realistically and historically it’s prob a £200 card.

The best case scenario is that it’s available in enough supply to pressure the 3060ti and mean the recent ‘offer’ price becomes the norm as at £350 the 6600xt kills the 3600 ti at £600+

current cards at same price on ocuk - 1660 and 2060…

Absolute hogwash. Bargain? 6600xt? You are having a laugh.

What is a 3600ti??? Anyway?:cry:

With a bit of patience you can get a mint 3060ti ,with free delivery for 369£.

That's a bargain son.

Prices for the cheapest in stock card at my local store in US dollars

3060: $550
3060ti: $680
6700xt: $750

I expect the 6600xt will be around $550 to $600

OcUK will hit $379 for a short period, and will then be around $425 on 6600 XT :)

OcUK is hitting around $500 on 3060Ti here in UK and less on 3060, 6700 XT we are about the same at $750.

From a technical standpoint a smaller GPU with a 128 bit memory controller,matching a larger previous generation GPU with a 256 bit memory controller,on the same node,whilst drawing less power is almost a Maxwell moment.

However,unlike Maxwell the price is a bit crap.

Indeed. At around £200, which is what it should cost, it would be a great card and finally give people looking to pay that sort of money a good upgrade path for the first time since Polaris. The fact that it's going to be approaching double that is the embarrassing part.
