Gotta say that I'm sad about your decision about pressure testing, I found that specific part very interesting as it made me more aware of issues that could come with it and I enjoyed the content, but I do understand the reasoning.
As always, your content is great and I watch most videos, thank you so much for the insight into these cards.
Also, this is probably a very niche environment, but I'd love to get some data on how these cards fare on VR titles!
There is very little content on it and, if you think it's worth it, you could bring a set of new people to your videos by helping with this particular subject, even if it's just a short 10 to 20 seconds slide with a few metrics.
Thank you for all your work :)
It's very much appreciated and I learn a lot from it.

I appreciate your take. Consumers ARE being squeezed. But
The BEST way to end a supply shortage? Raise prices.
Now your company s increased cash can pay for more factories to come online, and pay for more materials to go to your company instead of whatever other company was buying them. Then your customers can actually get the parts instead of Shuffles and instant out-of-stock.
Artificially low prices help scalpers and middle-men, and do nothing to end the shortage.

I'm really looking forward to upgrading from the 580 I have right now, but I paid 120 for this card and it's doing the job well enough. Exactly like Steve points out, I could upgrade from the 580 to something like the 6600XT (which I was hoping to see much better performance out of) and it would be an upgrade, but I would be paying an overly expensive price for it.
Oh well. I hope 2022 is better for GPUs...

MSRP is a meaningless number at this point. Prices of GPUs currently depend mostly on the value of crypto you can mine with them. Until the root of the problem goes away, it doesn't matter how AMD and Nvidia price their cards. Any card that works and doesn't blow up is a good card. Maybe we can go back to caring about value once Etherium moves to proof of stake or something.

Sadly, I don't see the demand of semiconductor will ever go down. Phones, computers, consoles, cars, data centers, research (machine learning/AI), renewable energy, wireless headphones, etc. We'll see a computer in some form or another anywhere we go. These price tiers are here to stay. 200-300 will be for 2-3 generation-old cards, and I don't see we can do anything about it.

I still think it doesnt matter. MSRP is just nothing. What does change when you offer a 400 Dollar GPU that sells out and then sits there Nothing happens. You offer 10% Sale and sell it again for 360. If thats not enough you offer 25% and sell it for 300.
They make Money either Way. But why should they start with 300 for example. That would be like burning Money.

I'm still running an i5 2500k + rx 570. For the most part, all of the newer pc games that interest me are indie or less demanding games like Hades, Ori, Dead Cells, etc. which my system can still can hand no problem. The one demanding game that I've been eyeing is RE Village, and I've seen it running respectably on hardware similar to mine.

3060 and 6600XT equal average frame rate on 3 kingdoms, but 1 percent and .1 percent lows are 50 percent higher on the 6600xt. Given GN emphasis on frame times, Steve calling these about equal is surprising.
The reverse was true in the RT test Nvidia's lead was only discussed for average frame rate while it had an even greater lead on lows.

Wow Next leap in technology from amd. it cant even match last Gen 5700xt that was offered at 400usd
Mid tier is dead 2021 RIP sub 400USD and Sub 500 usd
Gaming market in his bad day as it is. but Amd and grevida trying to make it worse.
Ya market is Stagnated at this rate AMD will also lose the market share of CPU as well.

if its not too expensive where i live ill upgrade. my 1060 still works fine for the most part but i would like to have some more performance. but ill probably end up running my 1060 for a while. price is the big thing though. my 1060 was 329 and i dont want to got too much over that (with 400 being my absolute max) so guess well see
