AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT and 6800 XT 16GB graphics cards are available at their lowest price before the launch of NVIDIA’s RTX 4070 12GB. For the moment, these reductions are observable in the United States, but Europe, which has already seen prices fall in recent days, could also see a new boost on the tariff aspect.

AMD has not been silent on its line of graphics cards offering higher memory capacities than its rivals, while remaining relatively affordable. The company published an entire blog on the topic “ More VRAM matters and now offers 16GB cards at a much lower price than NVIDIA’s 12GB cards. Besides memory, there are differences between the two cards including gaming performance, features, and efficiency, but if users want more VRAM, AMD has the cheapest options right now. .
Along with the graphics card, you’ll receive a digital code for The Last of Us Part 1 game. The promotion is only available from March 7, 2023 through May 13, 2023, but it’s a great way to get a free game. Unfortunately, The Last of Us Part 1 PC port received a fair amount of negative press due to its poor optimization and transfer to PC. Even though the developers have been working on optimizations and fixes, the game is still poorly rated on the Steam storefront.
Separately, the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT card from ASRock (Phantom Gaming) also comes at the bargain price of US$540 and also comes with a similar game. This card also offers 16 GB of VRAM, but has a reduced core configuration compared to the 6950 XT.
In France currently the RX 6800 XT is at 599 €or 100 € less than the 6950XT
Both cards should perform very well against the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 in dither. However, NVIDIA has a big lead in titles with ray tracing effects and there is also DLSS 3 which can boost performance to a whole new level.
Additionally, neither card has the effectiveness of the Ada Lovelace architecture in games. The GeForce RTX 4070 is sold at a price of €659.
