RX6600 close to this price ? its not even nearly enough to call it close.

Thats 550 eur vs 300-400 EUR.

It will destroy 6600 $/frame.

I already know some shops tomorrow will have it 300-350 eur , that is actually HALF the price of RX6600. Think again

For anyone desperate for PC gaming , at 300 EUR this is insta buy and there isnt anything better.
Undying skewing numbers? no!

Not a bad card , actually at the right price it is good enough for 1080p but people have to lower the expectations and lower the settings in game to medium or perhaps low mixed. It is what it is a 1080p vga with compromises on video settings for 60 fps , low end , bare minimum for 1080p. Desperate times calls for desperate measures

True. But at least the 3050 has decent support for RTX. And it has DLSS 2.x.
