Mine is overvolted and overclocked.
Performs without issues and still going strong.
I'd love to get me an RX6600 to replace my RX580 before it dies, have it undervolted and underclocked to avoid crashing and artefacts.

I think AMD should price it at $200, so they can make no profit, hire no new people or spend any money on R&D, and run the company into the ground. That would be my strategy because I'm a Guru3D user and I know better than a PhD in Engineering from MIT.

I do wonder how ATI and nVidia managed to make cards at 200$ price point, for over 20 years.....
Just look at that card. It's small, has a simple power system, no big cooler with lots of heat pipes, only has 8GB of GDDR6, etc.

In my post I pointed out R&D and employees. Did anything about those numbers change over 20 years with either one of these companies?
What else would drive the cost to go up? Has manufacturing changed? Did Fab plants for 180nm, 20 years ago, cost $20B to create like they do now? Did they require machines with precision that require physicists to literally discover new physics to develop like they do at ASML? Design supercomputers like Cadence systems to help engineers wrap their head around the mind boggling number of transistors on today's chips?
Even if you ignore the massive increases in costs to make these things happen - inflation alone makes a $200 chip in 2000 be $330 today.

No price rumour yet means they're waiting until the last minute to decide on the highest price possible.
They know it will sell, everything. They just need to price it accordingly to what the competition has.
