Windows 10 Home
Like last week s system, this one comes with the same RTX 3060 and Ryzen 5600X, a great combo for high frame-rate 1080p gaming, but one that s almost impossible to find right now - especially the graphics card, which is meant to cost around £300 but these days normally goes for £600 and up!
The remaining components are solid too - one of the most popular B550 motherboards in the form of the Tuf Gaming B550M-Plus, giving you PCIe 4.0 support for ultra-fast storage and graphics, backed with 16GB of dual-channel memory and a good-looking (if slightly air-tight) Corsair 4000X case with a trio of (RGB optional) intake fans.
As stock shortages of CPUs and graphics cards continues, it’s time for an update on the market to see what the current situation is looking like, and whether there will be any relief for buyers in the coming weeks. A previous article on this topic was well received when we released it about a month ago. Since then we’ve obtained numerous insights and information, so let’s get started.
GPU Market Update
The most troubled portion of the PC market, it s been a month since our last update and the situation remains that you can’t buy a graphics card at the MSRP, which I think won’t surprise anyone. There s really no firm end in sight for this issue, with many major companies including TSMC and Nvidia warning that demand will outstrip supply for much of 2021.
line-up
of Asus Radeon RX 6700 XT cards was designed to offer a suitable solution for each type of gamer, whether they want a compact graphics card such as the Dual model, a reliable and durable solution like the TUF Gaming card, or a high-performance GPU with outstanding cooling capabilities like the ROG Strix card.
The Asus Dual Radeon RX 6700 XT graphics card features a dual-fan cooler, offering a smaller footprint than other Asus Radeon RX 6700 XT cards. The two axial-tech fans have a 0dB-fan mode and are responsible for moving the air through the 2.7-slot heatsink. The black and white shroud features a sophisticated Aura-Sync RGB LED, allowing users to synchronise with other Asus Aura Sync-compatible devices. Additionally, the card also has a backplate for extra protection and cooling.
