AMD's Radeon RX 7700 XT has fallen below $400 US, making it a more sensible GPU option for gamers with a 12 GB VRAM.
AMD's Radeon RX 7700 XT Price Cuts Make It A Decent Sub-$400 US GPU Contender For Gamers
Well, the GPU industry seems to be in inventory correction, with widespread cost cuts across both AMD & NVIDIA products, with the first one gaining much more significant traction. Now, AMD's Radeon RX 7700 XT GPU has seen a price discount wave, as several models see price drops. The GPUs retail for $399.99, a $20 drop from its official MSRP. Interestingly, Newegg and Amazon US have listed the models at discounted prices, which means the drop isn't exclusive to a particular vendor.
The AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT 12 GB GPU was mostly overshadowed by the Radeon RX 7800 XT 12 GB GPU at launch due to a $50 US difference. The Radeon RX 7800 XT has dropped down in price a bit too, usually retailing around $470-$480 US so that made things even worse for the 7700 XT but that is no longer the case with the recent price drops which further push the prices as low as $394.
Variants of the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT 12 GB GPU from Sapphire, ASRock, and PowerColor have witnessed the drop, with dual and triple-fan models in the list. Here are the links to where you can acquire AMD's Radeon RX 7700 XT models at a discount; note that these are affiliate links:
