so after using the GIGABYTE GAMING RX 580 for roughly 5 years , i got a new upgrade , the RX 6700XT
i was looking for a used sapphire pulse RX 5700XT for 250$ but people here advised me to spend more and get at least the RX 6600 OR 6700XT for the upcoming games , checked a store which sell used gpus , asked for the price for the sapphire nitro+ RX 6700XT and it was around 320$ , so i said why not .
so i played many games using the RX 580 on medium/low , gpu temp reached 70° with 60 fps on average
i played the same games using the new gpu , max temp was like 45° 120-180 FPS ! IN HIGH/ULTRA SETTIGNS , DAMN THATS A GOOD DEAL !
first time i buy a sapphire gpu and all i gotta say is wow .

Good vibes. The 6700XT at $320 is solid, especially now. Enjoy the performance!

Picked mine up for $300 on eBay yesterday, replacing the Sapphire Nitro R9 Fury on my steamOS 1080/1440p rig

Sucks this is a solid deal when about a year ago that's a sale price for a 6750xt. But still cheaper then getting a time machine.
Alilxw@reddit (OP)
can you explain briefly why prices went up ?
BigPoopaPop@reddit
It's more like they never got any cheaper. The market stagnated with barely a performance upgrade at the same price level from previous generations. No one is gonna buy the newer card if it costs too much from the one it replaces if its too similar in performance. Nvidia seems excempt though, because everyone seems to buy whatever they put out.

Yeah that was a sweet time. 6750XT for $300, 6800 with its 16GB widely available for $389.

Some dude locally listed a NIB one for 300, he has it down to 250 now and I was wondering if it was a good deal or if I should continue to look for a B580 or wait for the upcoming 9060xt?

The 580 was a good card (had one myself and made it though a full playthrough of CP2077 with it) but the 6700XT is so much better. Enjoy!
Make sure you CPU is fast enough to fully take advantage of and PSU good enough since it does use noticeably more power.

my rig was waiting for such upgrade for more than a year, got the R5 5600X and PSU XPG GOLD 750W which is more than enough
Low-Blackberry-9065@reddit
Good :)
alvarkresh@reddit
Congratulations! :) As a former 6700XT owner I can definitely state it's awesome at 1440p.

The 6700XT is more than twice as fast as the 580, so its to be expected. Thats a nice upgrade.
