AMD Radeon 6000 series cards
Discussion
On the positive side they are competition for the current low end overpriced cards. A poor value card (when looking at historical rrp) is better than nothing. Hopefully nvidia come out with something in the budget range which is less s
t.
To be fair to amd and nvidia not a lot can be done to help the market when value is linked to mining profits. Massively increasing supply would be too much of a risk.

As 2nd hand prices for the 5700 XTs are good, I may have a look at selling and buying a 6800 XT or a 3080. I do like NVidias but hate their price gouging which is why I went for the 5700 XT originally. Its a decent GPU but is a bit on the noisy side .
Anyone know if the 6800 XTs are less 'hurricane-like' with their fans?
or do I go for a 3800 for the Ray Tracing.......

If you can get in on an alert and pick up a 3080FE from Scan for RRP, then that’s what I’d pick. Wouldn’t waste your money on an AIB card though, especially considering what the current prices are like. Anyone know if the 6800 XTs are less 'hurricane-like' with their fans?

I've found the 3 non FE 3080s in stock that I have been looking for EVGA FTW3, Aorus Xtreme and MSI Gaming Z Trio at between £1119 and £1299 at retailers, best prices I have seen for a while but as much as my trigger finger keeps hovering over the buy button (since I could probably get £700-800 for my 3070 on Ebay) but I am holding off, not for a price drop which might happen but I'm holding off and waiting until September now for the 4000 launch.
AMD prices have been good in comparison for a while the 6900XT which can outperform the 3090 has been hovering around the £1269-£1319 price for a while now, significantly less than a 3090. 6800 XT models, the 3080 rival is around the £1129-£1179 which is not much of a difference to the 6900 XT. Mad.
Unless you really need one. Wait.

Well that's double st !I suppose one of the issues with selling crap performing new cards is that it might sucker unknowing buyers into spending lots of money on one.
I'm looking to upgrade from my GTX960 and would consider that card if it was £100. If.

Does seem a bit mad spending that sort of money on a 3080 when a 3090FE is only marginally more expensive. Mind you, spending that sort of money on a GPU is a bit mad anyway, says the 3090FE owner.

God only knows what availability will be like for the next gen cards in Q4 this year, never mind the increased RRP’s and power consumption that’s been rumoured.
When the Radeon 6500 XT is already reduced at Overclockers you know they're not popular - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/Sapphire-Radeon-RX-...

If only I could get a 2nd FE from Scan. Still I look on it as buying a £1200 2080 Ti when it was new but with double the power.
Must not press the button.
I've been a bad Dougal.Must not press the button.
Still only paying £100 more than it would cost to buy direct from EVGA's EU shop and their GPU queuing system has been locked out to new requests since October.
