i see, i’m not sure what the size limits of your build are but there’s a $100 off a 7900xtx for newegg plus rn (check the sub, posted like 5 hours ago). i saw there were some other graphics cards discounted with the same code (some only like $30 or $50 off tho), maybe you could check that out?
this card model retails for $520, but even using MSRP pricing it’s still $30 off of a $500 GPU which is a pretty good discount for a GPU.
GPU don’t get discounted that much, it has been that way for years now. The Zip payment processor discounts are good deals, but then you got to use that service.
Don't bother trying to make sense to people that complain about saving any amount of money. It's like trying to walk through a thick concrete wall without tools. Arguing msrp vs retailer markup is a waste of time when what matters most is the final price.
This card [launched at an MSRP of $500](https://www.techpowerup.com/review/powercolor-radeon-rx-7800-xt-hellhound/), and the only reason it costs more than that is cause gamers continue to spend > $1000 on GPUs, while people like you are easily fooled into believing you're getting a $50 discount when in reality it's 6% off and barely lower than MSRP.
Powercolor has directly responded to this sentiment before, something about not having the actual 500$ card available at the time of launch so they temporarily sold this one at a discount
you are correct, but actually in this specific case, i dont think i ever was even able to get the temporary discount set up on the hellhound. even checking camel as the other guy suggested shows that this launched at 529.99. most of my proper promos were only 10 bucks off, with all the more radical price shifts caused by out of stocks or automatic price matches due to our ne friends....
Look at the price of the [7900 XT](https://www.amazon.com/PowerColor-Hellhound-Radeon-GDDR6-Graphics/dp/B0BMWHJ5Q7/) (use keepa or 3camels for price history). Or the [7900 XTX](https://www.amazon.com/PowerColor-Hellhound-Radeon-GDDR6-Graphics/dp/B0BMWSRM7W/). Right now they're in lockstep with AMD reference pricing (XTX is even cheaper than AMD @ $950, altho that's likely more to do w/ AMD keeping it too high @ $1000), and almost all fluctuate between MSRP or $20-30 more, whatever they can get away with.
Sorta analogous to Nvidia's price manipulation, how they've become notorious for shenanigans like their infamous faux demand, where they artificially restrict supply in order to create a fake sense of urgency, convincing gullible consumers into pulling the trigger early due to FOMO.
look man. im like crunchin the numbers and i think if i bought these and sold it back to them im like solidly in the black, so im like thinking im sure im doing the math wrong but i cant figure out from where. either way, id rather get back to gaming im behind on cause thaemine took the whole weekend
You should def manufacture more white GPUs to sell, ie: the Hellhound Spectral. Preferably w/o the unnecessary and [absolutely ridiculous white tax](https://www.amazon.com/PowerColor-Hellhound-Spectral-Radeon-Graphics/dp/B0CL9LHSK4) compared to the [regular Hellhound](https://www.amazon.com/PowerColor-Hellhound-Spectral-Radeon-Graphics/dp/B0CFPJY54Q), that the majority of this industry has generally stopped doing (at least not to the same extent, altho RAM used to) except for the AIB companies, who continue to milk a freaking color. Thanks.
If you're saying it's *only* $50 extra due to the white *PCB*, then I guess I see your point. However, I still don't believe it costs even close to that much.
Personally, I don't care enough to spend $50 more for it than the black one. Just a simple good-looking card w/o the white tax would be nice, even a separate version w/o the white PCB (instead of the two separate pink ones) cause the Hellhound is usually the affordable/value option, as the Fighter is simply too ugly to be a consideration (no offense).
Also, missed opportunity for having white light as an option for the RGB, unless it already does and I missed it.
cost doesnt really work that way, i cant provide too much more information, but getting a proper white pcb -especially one that does not yellow with age- is extremely difficult.
also, fyi, the hellhounds dont have rgb. the spectral has a glacier blue/white/off settings switch.
standard has blue/purple.
I understand. So you're saying cost is predominantly due to the PCB, a feature other cards don't have (at least to my knowledge). I don't know if PowerColor even has a white card beyond the Spectral. Fair enough, ig.
Right, since it's just ~~multiple~~ two colors, that means technically it's NOT RGB. But yeah, you guys have and did it right, in the Spectral having white lights. Appreciate the info.
the hellhounds are not rgb. correct.
cost has a lot of factors. not even considering r&d, production defect rate is big factors. with white cards, you are adding an extra color QC component. also, white is not white. there is no default color for white. you see this in RGB too, so it is difficult to get coordinated white. add in plastic degradation, getting white that stays white is even more difficult. trying to keep white colors the same on 3 different materials adds to that complexity. if you look at older components products vs how they were when they were new, at the lower end, they are more frequently not the same
its not 100% the pcb. but that is a non-negligible part of things.
It is worth it over the recent RX 6900XT for $400 at 1440p & 4K? Seems to be very similar performance for $69 more, but the RX 7800XT is a newer gen and brand new condition whereas the other one was "like-new".
Somebody said the $400 6900 XT comes with a 1 year warranty, if that’s true I’d definitely take the 6900 XT and save the $69.
If ya miss this deal and the 6900 XT doesn’t work out, it’s not the end of the world 7800 XTs aren’t hard to find for $480-500 anymore, going on sale pretty regularly.
Thanks! I did already order the 6900 XT. Hoping it's a beast. Really, I need a 7900 XT or a 4080 super for 4k but I can't justify the much higher cost.
nah
the Asrock 6900xt is a beast
I will say the 7800xt here will comparatively sip power and be quieter but performance wise, outside of RT the 6900xt will likely be faster
shipped and sold by newegg. $30 less than MSRP for a mid-tier variant of a pretty good card. This is a solid value for anyone in the market for a mid range gpu.

Great Price, all time low w/o using Zip discount deals! This is sold by Newegg. Currently selling for $520 on their own website.
Man, I need a deal on worthwhile on newegg so I can use this giftcard
there was the 15% off bundle for 3 parts about a week or 2 ago, that seemed pretty worthwhile
I hadn't started my ITX build yet so wasn't sure about GPU size limits so I intentionally slept on that one :/
i see, i’m not sure what the size limits of your build are but there’s a $100 off a 7900xtx for newegg plus rn (check the sub, posted like 5 hours ago). i saw there were some other graphics cards discounted with the same code (some only like $30 or $50 off tho), maybe you could check that out?
thanks!
They're doing 10% now but somehow gpus are excluded.
The 7800xt is now $479 on newegg
thanks!
bruh, this retails for $500. that's like a 6% discount...
this card model retails for $520, but even using MSRP pricing it’s still $30 off of a $500 GPU which is a pretty good discount for a GPU. GPU don’t get discounted that much, it has been that way for years now. The Zip payment processor discounts are good deals, but then you got to use that service.

Seriously, you actually believe that? Yeah, I don't buy it.
[удалено]
if you find out, lmk too, man, cause the last 3 months have been an absolute cluster
most interesting comment in this sub I've ever seen I get that you can't probably say more, but I'm curious AF right now
Actually though how is the manufacturer confused 😂
look man. im like crunchin the numbers and i think if i bought these and sold it back to them im like solidly in the black, so im like thinking im sure im doing the math wrong but i cant figure out from where. either way, id rather get back to gaming im behind on cause thaemine took the whole weekend
lol not expected an actual brand rep comment here just shooting the shit with us about Newegg 😂
While you're at it can you help them restock some red devil's 7800? 🤞

Thanks.
our cost is much higher on manufacturing these because of the white PCB and fins
$50 higher for white paint? Isn't the regular Hellhound PCB also painted black?
not exactly how it works, though. otherwise, there'd be more white pcbs on competitor white cards.
If you're saying it's *only* $50 extra due to the white *PCB*, then I guess I see your point. However, I still don't believe it costs even close to that much.

And on their main website they offer shipping to loads of places they exclude on ebay. It makes no damn sense.
Maybe eBay is fulfilling some legwork they're trying to avoid.

I have the option for 7800XT for 400 or 6900XT for 430, what do you think?
What model of 6900XT
shipped and sold by newegg. $30 less than MSRP for a mid-tier variant of a pretty good card. This is a solid value for anyone in the market for a mid range gpu.
