Radeon RX 6500 XT GPUs Are Selling Below MSRP In Europe:
Did you expect consumer gaming-grade graphics cards to sell under MSRP in February 2022? It has happened. Mindfactory, one of Germany's most prominent online tech retailers, has published a page full of special offers this weekend. It contains AMD partner graphics cards that are selling below MSRP. This news might be exciting, but before you start dreaming about GPU upgrades, playing the latest PC games with real-time raytracing in 4K, and rushing off to find your credit card - both these sub-MSRP treats are AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT designs.
[...] Mindfactory listings show two AMD Radeon RX 6500 XTs models available for purchase. The ASRock Radeon RX 6500XT Challenger ITX and the Gigabyte Radeon RX 6500 XT Eagle were available at 199 when we first checked, but now the Gigabyte model has gone up in price to 229. The other discounted RX 6500 XT on the Mindfactory specials page is an ASRock Radeon RX 6500 XT Phantom Gaming D OC at 229. This dual-fan model used to sell for 249.
Putting the prices into context, the German MSRP for the base model AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT graphics cards is 209. In addition, Germany applies a VAT of 19%, which makes the ASRock ITX model about 160 before sales tax. If we convert this sum to USD, we get $182 before sales tax.
