AMD's Radeon RX 6950 XT now costs just $630, down from nearly $700, shortly after the launch of Nvidia's RTX 4070 last week.
However, there are plenty of games that already push the RTX 4070's 12GB of video memory to its limits. Far Cry 6 for example requires 12GB of VRAM to fully utilize its HD texture pack for enhanced graphics, and this is a relatively old game now.
Nvidia is widely expected to launch the highly anticipated RTX 4060 series in the next six weeks and AMD could be doing the sameat the May Computex event in Taiwan. This will mean renewed competition in the mid-range and hopefully price cuts to previous generation models too. This is important as AMD's absence from the mid-range and low end markets after the launch of its Radeon RX 7900-series cards a few months ago have meant its only weapon against Nvidia below this level was price cuts. Even now, there is no clear timeline for a 7800-series or 7700-series despite the likes of the Radeon RX 6800 having launched all the way back in 2020.
However, with Nvidia's higher prices and lack of mid range models itself, at least below the RTX 4070, this has meant that prices remain stubbornly high for those looking to build PCs with modest budgets. If both companies are aiming to release new mid-range models within weeks of each other, this could be good new for PC gamers.
