I found a really good deal on an RX 6950XT for $560 brand new, but I'm wondering if that's a decent price, especially since I live in India. I've noticed that prices for graphics cards can be higher here compared to the West, so I thought this might be a good opportunity. What do you guys think?

It's all about comparison! The RX 6950XT is around 75% of the performance of the newer 9070 XT or 5070 Ti at 1440p. Check how the prices of those compare first; if they're close, you might want to invest a bit more for the newer tech.
You're kind of doing both here by asking if it's a good deal while also saying it is! But honestly, since the sale was super quick, it sounds like a steal. Just make sure to check how it stacks up against newer cards available in your area.
Yeah, that's exactly why I'm here! I just want to be sure this is truly a good deal before I pull the trigger.
The RX 6950XT is a solid card if you're not into ray tracing. It's got great performance for gaming, especially at 1440p. If the newer models in your area are significantly more expensive, this could be a worthwhile purchase!
Right now, the INNO 3D 5060Ti 16GB is priced at about 46K INR ($540). While the 6950XT is older, it’s still about 50% faster. It's an older model though, so it doesn't have some modern features, but might still be good enough for what you need.
Honestly, $560 isn't the best deal. The 9070XT is around 90,000 INR, which is roughly $900. So if you can get a good deal on one of those, it might be better than 6950XT in the long run, especially for modern gaming features.
Is that $340 difference really worth it when comparing performance? I'd love to hear more thoughts on that!
What if those newer cards are way more expensive? Would the 6950XT still be worth it? I really want to know!
