i don't know why you picked on me, i just comment it isn't really comparable, the reasons seem obvious. Aniway let's move on.
The reasons are for many intents and purposes, non-issues, that is the point people are trying to make.
It matters when and if you are looking for those specific features, and if you did, you wouldn't buy said card missing them. If you don't, the gaming performance compares them best. Its like expecting it to RT, obviously it won't and even if it did, why would anyone care - in much the same way if the 6500XT was the subject.
See comparisons matter because things are available at similar price points, that is the primary concern for a customer - what can I get for X money; or if you value the feature over the expense: what does it cost to get feature X. Everything at any price point you pick, is by definition comparable and you compare on features that you need, and/or performance that you'd use.
No need to keep going on about it, but I hope that explains better why you guys have talked past each other the last page
Just imagine not even a Full year ago I sold a 980 Ti, 980, and 5700 XT for less than $450. Now 5700Xts going for $450-$600 Alone
Yeah man, I bought a 1080 for 420 eur in 2017... feels close to winning the hindsight lottery. Card's still relevant, if you don't RT all you want to run, runs on it... I'm even on 3440x1440 and haven't been backing down below High. It is that fact that keeps me solid in the RT=Stick it somewhere I don't see it-camp. I don't miss it for a second and any tech that inflates GPU pricing across the board should be a fat no-no right now - and that's not even considering the climate impact of making processing jobs like this more expensive for very little reason other than shareholder gains. All of this was clear when mining surged and took GPUs away from people - not the last surge, but the previous one(s). I honestly don't understand how blind people can be, or perhaps ignorance is bliss.
Could probably still sell it today for the initial price. A clear sign you don't want to even think of buying a GPU at this point...
All I can say is, I hope the upcoming gen is a good one. Otherwise its defo going to be a retro-PC for me, full of emulators and legacy stuff that'll keep me and others going for, I dunno... a few dozen years lol... that bucket list of pre-2020 content is pretty long still
But did you sell all three for 450 together?! Whuuu...
