AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT tombe sous la barre des 1000 $ pour la première fois

La carte graphique phare de la génération actuelle d'AMD, la Radeon RX 6900 XT, peut être obtenu pour aussi peu que $949, avec le détaillant américain Newegg répertoriant un GIGABYTE RX 6900 XT Gaming OC graphics card at that price. This can be further lowered to $899 by availing Newegg’s mail-in rebate. The GIGABYTE RX 6900 XT Gaming OC is the company’s value-ended custom-design RX 6900 XT product positioned a notch below the company’s AORUS Master card, but is still factory-overclocked, with its cooler posting lower temperatures than the reference-design. Attraper our review of this card.

A drop in the pricing of the RX 6900 XT means that AMD’s new RX 6950 XT could be right around the corner, with some sources claiming the card to match up to the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti, NVIDIA’s fastest graphics card from this generation. Le RX 6900 XT is still a mighty fast graphics card, trading blows with the RTX 3080 Ti.

Update May 5th: The price is up slightly to $999 ($949 with MIR), our assessment still holds.
