At US online retailer Newegg, Gigabyte’s gaming OC model of the Radeon RX 6900 XT is currently being sold at MSRP, with a discount even $50 less. It may be an attempt to get rid of stock before the refreshed Radeon RX 6950 XT hits the market.
Meanwhile, AMD’s flagship GPU, the Radeon RX 6900 XT, is available from the US mail order company Newegg for the RRP. This is 999 US dollars and the gaming OC model from Gigabyte is listed for around this price. A discount card can save an additional $50, bringing the price down to $950.
This is a huge perk on Newegg’s part, as Gigabyte’s Radeon RX 6900 XT was previously priced at $1,250. However, this offer does not appear unusual, since the release of the successor GPU Radeon RX 6950 XT is approaching next week. It currently looks as if they want to get rid of their stocks of the old graphics card before customer interest wanes.
Gigabyte’s gaming OC model of the Radeon RX 6900 XT differs significantly from AMD’s reference design in terms of clock speeds. The game clock is increased to 2050 MHz while the turbo clock is increased to 2285. The gaming OC model is equipped with a Windforce 3X cooling solution including three fans and three 8-pin power connectors.

Ultimately, the question remains at what price the Radeon RX 6950 XT will be available. Because this should have higher clock and memory transfer rates. It is possible that the price of the Radeon RX 6900 XT will fall even more, as will graphics cards from the Radeon RX 6000 series in general. Other retailers will probably take Newegg’s example as a guide.
