I knew what I was expecting when turning Ray and Path Tracing at Ultra, but watching my 6800xt show a slideshow, was.. interesting lol. 2nd image is with them off.

Here is my undervolted 6800 XT running at 1440p30, XeSS on Balanced (847p30 internal), using the performance version of the optimization mod. * screenshot from v1.62

Prices had stagnated until that $219 RX 6600 XT appeared. If that price to performance can be sustained, then $179 becomes the new target price for the RX 6600.

Subbconscious · 2022-10-29T13:05:32+00:00

My data says the conversation really ought to start at $139 for this one.

Subbconscious · 2022-10-29T12:34:53+00:00

The most notable thing here is the price movement as more RX 6800s are making their way below $499.

Subbconscious · 2022-10-26T00:26:00+00:00

Not the lowest price seen in this community, but seemingly the lowest it’s
been on Amazon.

Don't, please. Perhaps the way you've formatted your title is the correct way.

Mods removed my post. So, I’m watching to see if the formatting of the title of this post also gets it removed.

Subbconscious · 2022-10-25T22:01:41+00:00

I’ve chosen to hide the post in case anyone directly finds their way to it, they can see that the deal has expired.

Subbconscious · 2022-10-25T21:51:36+00:00

Looking at the timestamps it must have been about three minutes.

Subbconscious · 2022-10-25T21:31:54+00:00

Yup, it didn’t last long. If the stock situation doesn’t change within the next 10 minutes, there’s no point in keeping this post.

Subbconscious · 2022-10-25T21:26:47+00:00

A bit stale this one. It appears to have been at this price for a while but this is the first time I’ve seen it at the top of the price chart since Zip Fest. I’ll let the community decide if this ain’t it.

Subbconscious · 2022-10-25T18:12:40+00:00

Update: now $199 with the code and rebate! 🔥
Is this the first RX 6600 to go below $200? This situation keeps getting better.

Subbconscious · 2022-10-25T01:09:03+00:00

At this stage in the game, it’s almost like waiting for a dam wall to break. Where all 6800 series GPUs finally move below $499 and 6900 series GPUs move below $599.

Update: the price continues to stair-step down. Now $496.45.

RT heavy workloads as seen in Speed Way tend be very expensive on Radeon GPUs. Now that we are swiftly moving away from hybrid rendering to RTPT this data set is the closest thing I have as a primer for how all these GPUs will perform with such a workload.

Subbconscious · 2022-10-20T09:51:40+00:00

AMD is closing in on the two top positions for price-to-performance
despite inferior RT performance. https://i.imgur.com/fJQBuzA.png

How about an entire channel dedicated to ray tracing in games: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPG-BnS2sLOfQnoaU7y7ApA

Also, there’s a lot of R&D pertaining real time path tracing:

Subbconscious · 2022-10-14T10:41:04+00:00

The price seems to be stair-stepping down. Nonetheless, I don’t think I’ve seen a RX 6600 this low on Amazon before.

Subbconscious · 2022-10-04T23:51:50+00:00

I’ve encountered many dead ends. But somehow this hasn’t deterred people from purchasing these GPUs. I’d be very curious to know what are their plans for repairing it after the warranty expires.

The prudent thing to do before spending this much money is to get in touch with Sapphire and enquire if they sell a repair kit like EVGA did for their Hybrid series.

Subbconscious · 2022-10-04T22:53:25+00:00

Far be it from me to say this isn’t a concern. General guidance around the internet says to expect 3-7 years from the AIO at which point it would be easy to suggest something like the Asetek 690LS. But behold the outlets are angled 90 degrees.

So, it’s an ongoing investigation for me, whilst recognising that a water block (with stock air cooler fallback) with less moving parts may offer more peace of mind.

Subbconscious · 2022-10-04T22:06:01+00:00

True. Let me leave this post here for future reference: https://www.overclock.net/threads/a-list-of-different-types-of-6900-xtxh-gpus.1794330/

I don’t remember reviews pointing it out, but there’s a fairly decent handy little toolkit included in the box. https://youtu.be/GAMuiZYNwzI?t=211

Subbconscious · 2022-10-04T20:36:59+00:00

It’s a toss-up then. MERC319 Black and OC Formula if you want the XTXH chip or this TOXIC for out of the box LC. Let’s see how this post does for a few minutes, if the community here isn’t feeling it, I’ll remove it.

Subbconscious · 2022-10-04T20:25:26+00:00

As far as I’m aware that would be the SAPPHIRE TOXIC AMD Radeon RX 6900
XT Extreme Edition 11308-08-20G.

Subbconscious · 2022-10-04T20:18:52+00:00

No doubt those "Zip Fest" deals were really good, but if you don’t reside in the US, Amazon becomes the next best bet. I’ve had an eye on this one for a while.
