The next generation of Nvidia GeForce RTX 40 Series and AMD Radeon RX 7000 series graphics cards is nearly here, and consumers expect the biggest performance jump in graphics card history.

However, this jump will not come without a cost. Looking at the expected performance metrics, it would not be too far-fetched to assume that the next generation graphics cards will come with a hefty price increase.

The new generation is not here just yet, but for gamers looking to buy a shiny new graphics card, the months leading up to the latest products are a fantastic time to consider a new purchase. 

This deal might tempt consumers to pull the trigger on a new purchase. AMD’s RX 6900 XT is selling for just $699 at Newegg.

This model is the Gigabyte Gaming OC version of the RX 6900 XT. Gigabyte’s Gaming OC is an impressive model, especially at a price. While this model does not offer much over AMD’s reference model, consumers should be pleased to know that the current price is 30% lower than MSRP.

In terms of performance, AMD’s RX 6900 XT is no slouch. AMD has shown exceptional results with the RDNA 2 line-up, and the RX 6900 XT does not deviate from this trend. The GPU trades blows with Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 12GB. Testing from Hardware Unboxed shows the RX 6900 XT being only 5% slower at 4K resolution than the RTX 3080 12GB. Nvidia RTX 3080 12GB costs as low as $780, making the Radeon RX 6900 XT a perfect option at a lower price. 

The Radeon RX 6900 XT is perfect for users looking to transition to 4K gaming. AMD’s GPU is equipped with 16GB of Vram, more than enough for any 4K title. Given the graphics card’s 4K performance, lower resolutions are no problem for the AMD RX 6900 XT. A few benchmarks from AMD can be seen below.

AMD’s Radeon RX 6900 XT is a steal at the price of $699. Products like the AMD RX 6600 have seen similar price drops. The 6900 XT is equipped with all the features needed in a modern gaming GPU, and an all-time low price certainly helps make it an even better purchase.
