XFX Radeon 6900 XT 'Speedster Merc 319' - $899 at Amazon and BB

I have a feeling we are going to see some substantial drops for all computer hardware soon. It may be prudent to wait a bit.
 
The ASRock 6950 XT is $999 on Newegg right now 🤷🏻 Is it worth another ~$100 over this version of the 6900 XT?

I've been using the MERC after getting one @ MSRP last year and it's been great. I see no reason to spend extra.
 
These have been selling for around $900 for months, Newegg especially. Must have been quite a container-full of them! But haven't seen it for $860 before today. Woot had the ASUS equivalent for $800 until a week ago, now they're gone.

The Merc has an XTXH chip which is a little better than a standard 6900 and should put it close to a 6950 in GPU power but the extra memory bandwidth the 6950 has should help at 4k, however if I was buying for 4k I'd probably look at Nvidia or wait for the next gen. At 1440p or lower I'd lean towards the 6900 but I'd probably grab the Saphire Toxic for $20 more, the Saphire Nitro+ for $30 less, or the Gigabyte(ugh) for $130 less.
