The generous discounts come in preparation for the next gen RDNA 3 launch and are most likely influenced by the ETH PoS transition, as well. AMD touts the superior performance per Watt of the RDNA 2 cards over Nvidia's RTX 3000 solutions.https://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-slashes-Radeon-RX-6000-GPU-prices-by-up-to-30.656335.0.html
In Poland... 6600 XT costs 2199 PLN + ... when it should cost no more than 1499 PLN (with VAT). I know that $ is strong, but its a joke.
Should be about right, 30% is about right, vs what you get from Nvidia, also Nvidia is way faster with driver fixes.

Are you implying that AMD is 30% less value than nvidia? I have been a nvidia customer since their acquisition of 3dfx, but their nasty anti-consumer practices pushed me over to team red. I dabbled with AMD back in Radeon 6980s and true their drivers sucked back then. But now I had a 5700xt and now on a 6900xt and their value/driver/performance is absolutely on par with nvidia.
Its not that AMD is 30% less value than nvidia, is that nvidia is 130% over priced.

Ridiculous, the 6900XT is on par with Nvidia cards that are firmly over twice the price. Keep drinking the brand loyalty Koolaid, maybe Jenson will mail you a GPU lmao.
