    In this Audio/Visual Club thread: you post deals, coupons, bundles, and limited time offers you find on A/V gear and relevant PC hardware. Please provide links whenever possible.

    Examples of what counts: Video cards! Audio interfaces! TVs/monitors/projectors! Desktop speakers, studio monitors, headphones, microphones, headsets, IEMs! Recording gear! Home theater stuff!

    Examples of what probably goes elsewhere in the forum: Software! CPUs/memory/motherboards! SSDs! Cases! Power supplies! Non-audio/video peripherals!

    Let's keep this thread easy to follow and use by keeping the chatter to a minimum. If there's a neat piece of gear on sale, post the deal here - but please, take discussion to another thread.

    Now, I hear there's this "blackened fries day" coming up in a few weeks...

    Just a reminder that Newegg has a promotion with Zip to take 11% off (up to $111) when using code ZIP111 and paying using Zip ($6 fee). This code does not stack with other codes, but may make a 4070 Ti cheaper than any other offer.

    Example: Newegg has the MSI's 4070 Ti Ventus E for $764 before a $20 off code (BFDAYWCYA7233). This card also comes with Alan Wake II.

    Using ZIP111 instead of the $20 off code brings the price down to $680.84 before tax. There will be an extra $6 added to the final total cost for using Zip, but that still means $686 for a 4070 Ti that comes with Alan Wake II, and there's still a $30 MIR to redeem. Even with the rumored Super cards coming, that's a pretty good deal if you were planning to buy Alan Wake II anyway.

    While poking around Amazon, I found that MegaPC is reselling Dell's OEM version of the 6700 XT for $279, with a 5% off coupon, bringing the before-tax cost down to $265. Has a 1yr warranty from Mega PC. There aren't too many true two-slot 6700 XT cards available, and if you have the case length available, the XFX Speedster SWFT 309 is only $35 more at Newegg, but if you want something shorter (266mm) and without lighting, this might be a good option.

    KEF LS50 Meta at Amazon for $999. I tried the link in Firefox on my phone - I use Chrome and Firefox has no cookies/logins from me on the phone - and it returned the price.

    If you have $1k to spend on speakers for any space smaller than "cavernous," buy these.

    The XFX Speedster SWFT309 RX 6700 XT "Core" is $289.99 at Newegg

    If you'd like slightly more performance for a whole lot more power consumption and card size, the QICK319 RX 6750 XT is $299.99 at Newegg.

    The XFX Speedster SWFT319 RX 6800 is $339.99 at Newegg with promo code VGAEXCAB285 My guess is that it's been sitting there because it's 340mm long. The RX 6800 is equivalent to the 7700 XT, but has 4GB extra VRAM. The cheapest 7700 XT is $389.99.

    Amazon and Newegg both have the Sapphre RX 7800 XT for $479.99

    Of the above, the RX 6800 may be the best deal, if you can fit it. It's ~22% faster than the 6700 XT, for 17% more money. The 7800 XT is faster, but it's not 41% faster. It's more like ~15-18% faster.

    I suspect this is a pricing error or typo, but a seller on Amazon (NQX-US) has the XFX Speedster QICK 319 RX 7700 XT for $309:
    View: https://www.amazon.com/XFX-Speedster-QICK319-Graphics-RX-77TQICKB9/dp/B0CGMBYMY6?ref_=v_sp_product_dpx&th=1

    The lowest price for this card at other retailers (B&H, Best Buy, Newegg) is $396-$399. The next lowest price for any RX 7700 XT is $375, and that's an ASRock Challenger model.

    The shipper is NQX-US, but Amazon says it's covered by their "A-to-z Guarantee". If they send the wrong thing, free return is covered by this guarantee, even if it's shipped from China.
