Where it stacks up among modern cards The more I think about this the more that the 5600XT seems like the right option for the current computer. |

I was in a situation like this not too long ago. I wanted to upgrade my gpu on my antiquated travel PC so that I could play Madden 19. I spend about 25 nights a month in a hotel.
I live close to a MicroCenter, so I just checked their open boxes online everyday until found what I wanted. I ended up geting a RX 5700x for $310. I have no idea where you live, but out of curiosity I checked the inventory in the KC (Brentwood) store. They have a RX 5600x for $280. https://www.microcenter.com/product/...Search+Results Also depending how much of a hurry you are in, AMD's 6000 series might be worth waiting on. It looks like the RX 6500x should drop in January for approx $300. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/am...a2-all-we-know Edit: The MC link does not go to the Brentwood store. You will have to select the store at the top of the page. FYI. |

I am gonna keep checking but will be pulling the trigger on something by BF/CM. Getting anything bigger than a 5600XT would be something of a waste as I will be picking up whatever is the biggest baddest come time to build the next rig. |

I believe I have landed on the best deal I'm gonna find...
$229 with free shipping and no sales tax... but after sending off for a $20 mail in rebate. Plus I get Godfall for free. Just have to be up and refreshing at midnight to ensure I get one. /interesting. currently showing as sold out but the sale doesn't begin until the 23rd.

How late is newegg gonna keep me up tonight I wonder...
Waiting for that MSI 5600 XT video card to come up but still showing OOS. I'm hopeful, though, because I've been clicking on other items for the black Friday sale and the updated prices haven't landed. Also, several items say their sale ends in an hour. It would make sense if they activated their sales by CST as it is in the middle for everyone. It would make sense if they activated their sales by PST because the company is based out of California. But Mountain Time? I'll keep you all posted... I know you are rooting for me in this. |

What absolute bullshit. That card has been listed as OOS for 3 days yet it appears on their BF sale page. Huge let down.

Bummer. It appears the gpu gods and 2020 are not done shitting on us yet. Keep looking though, there are apt to be short restock bursts this week especially starting Thursday. Newegg included.
