Alleged AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT Render Leaked

[Casecutter]

Now, as the 7770 Cape Verde provide folks decent 1080p for entry pricing. It really gave rise to lot's of gamers the means to move to Full HD LED monitors, which where really coming of age in price.
If today this could offer that same equation in price I see more gamers looking toward 1440p panels that are now getting some better pricing.

While sure back in the day a 7870 offered good 1080p, I think lots of 1080p panels moved onto desks, as gamers didn't have to more than double the cost to at least consider a monitor upgrade and could do both.
Looking back at 2012 a 7770 for $160; today that buying power is only about $100, and that's with all computer parts generally lumped together. If considering just GPU's today that number probably somewhat lower. I'm no economist but say $300 for a card that offers better than decent 1440p seems like an improvement.

That time's 1080p is today's 1440p

Theory.

AMD and NVIDIA alike are producing and stockpiling these lower end chips, like 6600XT, 3050Ti etc, I mean they're already in laptops but not desktops, so they exist and if memory serves it sort of bucks the trend of desktop cards first.

Both camps are heavily riding the wave of mid-high end offerings flying off shelves with great margins. This will end, it's already on the downswing, mining boom dropping off etc, the market will essentially flip and either everyone that wanted a 6800 or higher or 3060 or higher will pretty much have one, and there will be a 2nd hand market flooded with ex mining cards.

So with demand for brand new high end cards going to all but halt at some point, and they will finally flood the market with great stock of the lower end cards, that a lot of people wanted all along...

That is extremely wishful thinking. Most people mining have either already sold their new cards for a premium or are keeping them for the long game. Even at the high market prices you see on ebay these new cards still have an acceptable ROI, if they didn't nobody would buy and the market would naturally settle lower. The only way stock returns and prices lower is if the supply fulfills the demand, demand isn't going anywhere.

Not sure what is meant by this... but I'll see if I can sum it up.
Ten year have almost past and finally 1440 is the got to be the mainstream resolution. If at >$300 (somewhat the equivalate outlay as back early 2012) your perhaps able to obtain better than just "decent" 1440p framerates at that price point. What else is out there that does that?
Now personally, I would've thought both 1440p panels and and this level to drive them at what today is now the entry price point is 3 years late, but still I'll take it. We almost had it with the RX 590 but not at first... once pricing work down ~$200 the $/per was there, but never at the original price of $279. If AMD gives this RX 6600 XT that $279 MSRP, it will be the boon that really finally makes the statement 1080p is so 2012!

5600XT debuted at that price, for the 6600XT to be that "boon" then it should(besides costing $280) be at the very least 30% better than 5600XT.
If not, that's just a 'meh' improvement.

I guess I would ask when was the last Graphics card that was 30% better coming to market at the same pricing? It all been 'meh' for a while now...

That's the very reason i haven't bought since RX 580. Very sad.
