We’re here to help you find a Radeon RX 6700 XT that’s actually in stock and not exorbitantly priced.

Like the Radeon RX 6800, RX 6800 XT and RX 6900 XT cards before it, the recently released Radeon RX 6700 XT is out of stock everywhere. Demand from the usual suspects — gamers — along with that from crypto miners as cryptocurrency continues to soar has made it next to impossible to find anything from AMD’s Radeon RX 6000 Series. It’s no different with Nvidia’s latest GPUs.
The new Radeon RX 6000 cards incorporate AMD’s RDNA 2.0 architecture found in the GPUs for the next-gen Xbox Series X and PS5 consoles, and you’re more likely to find a PS5 or track down an Xbox Series X console than locate a Radeon RX 6000 series card.

With a list price of $479, the Radeon RX 6700 is the entry-level card in the RX 6000 lineup. It’s less than half the cost of the flagship $999 Radeon RX 6900 XT. In between sit the $579 Radeon RX 6800 and $649 Radeon RX 6800 XT cards. If you find any RX 6000 card from any manufacturer that’s not out of stock, it almost assuredly has an astronomical price well above its suggested retail price. For example, Amazon has a handful of RX 6700 XT cards in stock from Asus and PowerColor that are priced between $1,800 and $2,500. Yikes!

Inventory will hopefully increase soon and more Radeon RX 6700 XT cards will be available at or near their list prices. There are also OC versions of the RX 6700 XT that are factory-overclocked (making them faster) and therefore pricier. Currently, there are no RX 6700 XT cards in stock at Best Buy or Newegg, but you can check the links below keep an eye out for a restock.
