WTF, AMD, I bought a RX 6800 card new only 3.5 years ago, when it was your current offering. Now you’re gonna act like it’s old already. That’s some bullshit.
I bought a new rx6600 like2 weeks ago. It still gets regular updates and is the best card for the money if u want to play any modern titles without spending over 200 on a GPU. And has stated that in maintinence mode these cards will still get day zero game updates, their just focusing new features on their newer cards with newer architecture…
NVidia has 9+ years of game ready support on some cards (I believe 11 in some special cases) and they’re expecting people to take the compromises of being low in market share (so game devs are less likely to optimize for their cards), having a feature delay vs NVidia cards on average, and then to top it all off, having less than half the length of support than their alternatives.
They do this all and expect people to be happy with that for a $50 discount.
It almost feels like they’re calling their future customers stupid for believing that their cards will last.
Its crazy because NVidia has so much bad blood with consumers, and yet AMD seems almost by contract forced to cut is own legs out from under it any time it would be convenient for NVidia.
Call me an and fanboy but I have run nothing but and hardware for ages. They have always been better price for performance in my budget. Their really not shooting their own legs off when consumers don’t have a choice today. You cannot build a budget rig on Intel and Nvidia parts, there simply aren’t making good price to performance products. If u want a cheap solid 1080p PC u need a Ryzen CPU and a rx6600 that’s just the formula today. If your upset that a mid range card from almost 5 years ago isn’t getting the latest and greatest features of today’s card then perhaps you need to look a little harder into what Nvidia updates were coming out after 9+ years on Nvidia. Something tells me it wasn’t to add the newest cards features to the decade old house that don’t have supporting architecture… And is still providing day zero game updates to rdna 1 and 2 so I’m not sure what the fuss is about. Just sounds like people looking for an excuse to rag on AMD 🤷

That’s gotta be a very specific regional thing for you, because the B580 has had many periods of being the budget goto for new cards being sold.
Then, for the 5060TI 16GB, which is sorta budget now, like low to mid budget, competes against the 9060XT when you consider… things like this, wider DLSS coverage, greater chance of game devs optimizing for it and total system price.
I do also kinda see only 16gb+ GPUs as viable… and I guess the 12gb 5070 if a gun was put to my head.
At the budget end further than that though, its gotta be used.

Truly AMD shooting its own legs off in the space.
