7/10/23 Edit. Newegg has it for $570 after a 10 dollar promo code.

7/6/23 Edit. Amazon is now selling these for 580 dollars.

If you want the the most powerful graphics card you can get for your hackintosh. Or you want to game at 4K in Windows. Have a look at this beast of a card. Just imagine what these sold for in October 2022 compared to today. $1099.99 or $470 more. Don't worry about what the Dortania site says about XFX brand. Even Apple themselves have recommended XFX cards for use with real Macs. It was a few older Polaris cards like their RX560 that had Vbios compatibility problems.

** Make sure to pick Amazon as the seller ** There are some "no history" sellers with lower prices. Best to avoid.

IMPORTANT: This card will need a device ID spoof and agdpmod=pikera boot arg to work in a hackintosh.

The MSI version of this card is still on Amazon for $900. Much too high a price post crypto-mining and pandemic.

Amazon has now lowered their price 30 dollars to $600. Amazing deal for this much graphics power.

Remember to have a PSU at 850W or more as the power spikes of this series can reach above 600W.
 
Price drop to 580 on Amazon (seller is Amazon). This is tempting but I got my AMD 6800 XT for 470 so it's a $110 upgrade with only 17% bump in performance based on Geekbench.

Also I would need to learn how to spoof this card so that means more time on getting my newly built system to function with the new card. So not sure if it's worth it. I already had to deal with some drama with the Gigabyte F24 BIOS update, so perhaps I should stick with AMD 6800 XT?
 
Here's the best price yet, $570 after a Newegg Promo code.
