The 20% price drop from MSRP is not taking into account that this is a custom design. Other than that, I fully agree with you that the list price is ridiculously high. I'll hang on to my old GTX 960 until it blows up... or I will build myself a setup with iGP next and get a GeForce Now subscription for my daily (not too many) minutes of gameplay...
Yeah, I refuse to be excited about an ~20% price drop from MSRP on an almost two-year-old card. The only reason the "sale" seems good is because the normal price is so ridiculously high, so they can take a large percentage off and it appears to be a great deal, when in fact it's a terrible one. Between the age of this card and the new generation coming out, this card should be closer to $300-320.
Combining a trusted dual-fan arrangement with a performance-focused rigid industrial design, the MSI Radeon RX 6700 XT MECH 2X 12G OC video card has a boost core clock speed of up to 2620 MHz. This VR Ready piece of hardware features 3 X DP 1.4 outputs and one HDMI 2.1. The 46% discount brings it down to US$389.99.
