How is this card still $250 when I can easily get an RX 6600 for $200? Hell, I’ve seen the RX 6650 XT on sale in the $250 price range.
Is it considered a collectors item since EVGA doesn’t make GPU’s anymore? lol
You should probably get your choice of card then. Thank you for weighing in. If you wish to be helpful though, feel free to link to your better deals you can get.
I give up. Pricing in GPU’s is awful and they won’t change no matter how much advice or criticism they get.
Why not just get all your GPUs at these magical, awesome, better places then?
Why the hell beat up on Woot about it?
Unless Woot is, in fact, a better retailer than these other places. Then Woot deserves to charge a little more for the better experience.
I don’t think Woot is going to have its feelings hurt when you buy something from B&H.
“Why beat up on Woot?”
What kind of stupid comment is this? Is Woot your best friend? lol Or do you just own stock in Amazon?
You should ALWAYS call out BS pricing when you see it … and this price IS utter BS. Just look at some of the other GPU’s Woot has up right now. An MSI RTX 3050 and a Zotac RTX 3060 TI. The 3050 is a refurb, but it’s a better card (in performance), only one generation behind where as the 1600 series is now THREE generations behind, supports RTX … all while being $30 cheaper.
The 3060 TI is brand new and only $80 more expensive than the 1650 Super … but is a WILDLY superior card. It can beat out a 2080 Super. That’s insane value for only $80 more considering the 1650 super can’t even beat out a 2060. A GPU that’s SIX tiers down from a 2080 Super.
… and this is without getting into AMD GPU’s whose pricing has fallen off a cliff.
This is 100% a bad price for this card, end of story. DO NOT BUY (at this price).
You can complain about the prices all you want. We really don’t mind.
But, if you want action taken, you must show a link to this EXACT item for less from a reliable retailer (not eBay). Then we can talk.

And really, I don’t understand all the anger. Commerce is commerce. Do you stand in the egg isle at the grocery store shouting about the bullshit pricing?
Because THAT is bullshit. Really. $5 a dozen???
A link to this EXACT card? The 1650 Super released 4 years ago and is now multiple generations old. That was kind of my point. Literally NO retailers are selling this exact card, including EVGA. The company who made this GPU. They stopped making GPU’s last year. I’m sorry, but “rarity because it’s old” is not an excuse to over charge for this card.
I already gave two examples of better value prices on your own website (RTX 3050 and the RTX 3060 TI). The 3050 being both newer, superior to this card AND $30 cheaper. Since I made that post, your site has now posted an MSI GTX 1660 Super, a literal same-generation TWO step upgrade over this card, for $189.99. HOW is this card (EVGA 1650 Super) $60 more expensive? lol
So, no?
He/she might.
It would make for a great tik tok video.
Someone in the dairy section just raging about egg prices and how theres newer better brands of eggs for cheaper the next aisle over.
EVGA just listed their B Stock for the week.
Don’t think I can link directly to the card, but this is the B Stock page.
This exact card is currently $89.99.
They have two different 1660 Super models for $99.99.
Look, I don’t have a dog in this fight but you’re comparing a janky, beat-up B-Stock product to a brand new one.
EVGA gives 3 times the warranty for the Woot one.
“I don’t have a dog in this fight”
I like woot and I want them to be successful. They’re tech stuff is literally banned from deal posts on reddit. mods will delete. Whatever they are using for pricing for GPU’s- I don’t think it makes for a good user experience. There’s a few approaches to reselling. You’re given stuff to resell. You go find stuff to resell. You design software to get stuff to resell.
I’ve done the last option. It works great but you have to have good business rules because it’s automated. 3M made pretty good floppy disks back in the day, and some are still around. But you don’t want your program to buy a bunch of those and try and resell them. They’re not as relevant today. And the stuff you do try and resell has to be priced appropriately. Sometimes a formula isn’t the best way to do it.
All three methods need to see if the product still moves. Then they have to be priced accordingly. Business 101 usually has a section on maximizing price point. Mine did.
Have you ever watched the tv show where two guys run around and buy people’s junk? They often meet two types: 1) “People been trying to buy this off me for 25 years. Don’t low-ball me, I know what i got, you can have it for [names price at 5% below fully reconditioned resale price]” and 2) “I’ve had all this for so long, if it makes you happy you can have a bunch of stuff at [30-40% of reconditioned resale price]”. The second type understands maximizing price point. Maybe the discount isn’t that deep, but it’s enough to get them to buy more. Personality type 2 generally makes more in sales.
This GPU has been up for ~12 days? Limit of 10? Is it really moving/turning over? Maybe I’m wrong. I do remember cd cases getting sold. some odd car parts. Maybe there’s a bunch of people that just love this gpu and want to pay that. Maybe they’re even buying ten. Enable stats?
And 1 yr warranty vs 3y warranty for new from us.
Still not the same. Appreciate your enthusiasm for this subject but unless we see a lower price for the exact item, it’s going to stay for sale on our site. That doesn’t mean we’re forcing people to buy it. We know wooters are savvy and will research before buying.
stats are up! there’s at least one sale. 3 days to go.
