Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
So let's pretend the 3070 and 6700 XT are sold at MSRP.
Why would anyone buy this only for 20 dollars less? I would only consider this if it was like 60 dollars cheaper.
The market is so out of whack at the moment. Products like this and the RTX 3060 can come out and move the performance needle so little compared to last gen hardware that it's hard to see where lower end cards fit in that aren't literally "the same performance as last gen for the same price". And this is in the wonderful, whimsical world of "MSRPland" - a place that doesn't exist.
Oh, right. Silly me. There won't be any lower end cards than this until market conditions "improve", because there's no justification for AMD or NVIDIA to release anything lower than this.
I was out of the PC game for a few years. Dusted off my 3770k and 980Ti for Cyberpunk which ran pretty well. Thought about upgrading but then I got up to speed on the current market for graphics cards and well, sat back down.
At the moment, to me it seems like the only good thing about this card is that more Navi 22 dies can be made per wafer vs Navi 21. Navi 22/GA104 level of performance is enough for most people so there'll be more GPUs available from the same wafer allocation at TSMC compared to if AMD made Navi 21 only instead.

Imagine pricing this card like a 3070 when itβs barely better than the 3060 TI.
if they stick a MSRP of $549, it will still sold off.
Why make customers in the 5700xt price bracket wait 2 years to pay 25% more for 25% more performance?
AMD: why not?
Is there not a tariff on these cards that didn't exist on the previous generation? It's not entirely AMD/Nvidia's fault that MSRP is higher than last generation.
