AMD Radeon RDNA2 Navi (RX 6500, 6600, 6700, 6800, 6900 XT)

DRAM or caps or substrates are one for all unless you're some kinda Intel-tier IDM and have substrates in-house.
Either way N22 kinda exists; idk what your point is even.

 

If/when miners start dumping all their GPUs in the 2nd hand channels at lower prices then it might.

 

Perhaps maybe implying that Sony will still be hogging most of the chips from AMD, being that is the only difference to Nvidia, as you well stated.

 

That's not what is happening at all.

There is no difference, components shortages are same for all.

 

That is what I said. There is no difference other than the number of contracts.

 

Why would AMD go for the supplier with the lowest margins?

 

We were trying to make sense of what DegustatoR said, because it didn't make sense. The market conditions affect both equally. The only difference between AMD and Nvidia are the clients and contracts.

 

The only difference worth talking about right now is the factory.

 

Way, waaaaaaaaaaaay more than that.

 

The rest are similar, as you've said.

 

And they're the fundamental limitation duh.

 

Not in case of RDNA2 dGPUs.

 

Yes it is.
It's also the case for Milan.

 

given the fact that you are saving the money, and your motivation is to choose a new GPU some time down the line, then you can also wait for Intel. They promoted Raja Koduri to a better position in the company, which shows their commitment with GPUs.

Like you, I am still undecided, but the only thing I am sure of is that be it from nVidia, AMD or Intel, the next GPU I am buying is the most efficient one, in power consumption/performance ratio. That's the ONLY thing I care the most when buying my next GPU.

For now, AMD has the best GPUs for my taste, but I have time, so.....

 

What is the proper msrp of a 6700xt ?

 

480 USD.

 

found this in this online store which is very popular in Portugal and Spain and it is now priced at 619€, which is still relatively expensive but a LOT better than it was days ago -it costed up to 1000€ and crazy numbers like that-., in these ill-fated times.

Things are changing for the better.

Slowly but surely things progress.

 

This night there was a liquid devil available for paltry $1450 (with 20% VAT), I almost jumped the gun. Hopefully we'll get to something close to MSRP before the monster N31 is released

 

We're almost 9 months away from release though.
At this point, unless I can get a Navi 21 or GA102 for a sizeable discount below MSRP, I'll probably hold on to my Vega 64 for another 8 months and get a Navi 31 / Lovelace instead.

I refuse getting de facto scalped by AMD, Nvidia, distributors and retailers.
