AMD unveiled its big RDNA2 cards last year, the Radeon RX 6900 XT ($ 1,000), RX 6800 XT ($ 650) and RX 6800 ($ 580). Now the company is preparing to launch even more RX 6000 series GPUs. This will happen on March 3 during the event “Where Gaming Begins: Episode 3” (Ep. 1 brought the Ryzen 5000 desktop processors, Ep. 2 was the launch of the RX 6800).
AMD posted this image of the GPU in question. It has two fans instead of three like high end cards. but still looks pretty beefy. This suggests that we are looking at the Radeon RX 6700. We will probably see a vanilla card and an XT card again, based on the Navi 22 chips. They will be positioned relative to Nvidia’s mid-range offerings.
On March 3, the journey continues for # RDNA2. Join us at 11:00 a.m. EST, as we unveil the latest @AMD Radeon RX 6000 graphics family. Https://t.co/5CFvT9D2SR pic.twitter.com/tUpUwRfpgk

The GeForce RTX 3060 ($ 330) is expected to be available later today, although given the supply issues that have preoccupied the tech world, getting one could be a challenge. So is the RTX 3060 Ti ($ 400), which appears to be sold out in most places (and is listed well above the MSRP).
Where the Game Starts: Ep. Event 3 will start at 4:00 PM UTC on March 3 and will likely be a pre-recording preview like the previous episodes.
