You got a good deal, apparently. Which 6700 XT model, exactly?

I bought a 6700xt a few weeks ago for 369$ from Newegg. I love it. No way I would pay 700$ for it though.

Most Newegg deals at the price that you mentioned are shipping from outside the US. That would imply shipping costs, import taxes, and a long waiting time.

This is a mediocre deal at best. The 6700 xt has been available for $360 from newegg for weeks. Maybe search around more before claiming something is a good deal.

Sorry, Daryl, but where are you located? Use a VPN with a US IP and you will see that the 40% deal is still live and the card is in stock.

This article is only three days old. I went to Amazon. They are charging $608 for this. Although I can buy a used one off a bitcoin miner for the price you told me!

I totally agree with you.

Weird on black Friday you could purchase an AMD 6950 XT for around $700.00 bucks. Miners are buying up all shock supplies before they reach retail distributor warehouses. I guess I won't be buying an overpriced Nvidia or AMD GPU this year.

You are comparing the MSRP of the reference design with a custom factory overclocked version.

A video card getting a whole 18% off its 20-month old MSRP after the succeeding architecture is out? What a screaming deal!
