Watched the Hardware Unboxed video about that GPU.(sorry HH) Not entirely convinced, but I am on the verge, as my RX580 started to show its age.

after 5 years with rx580 i ordered one rx6650 ,its twice as fast ,same power consumption and costed me 240 euros (euros i payed are " final release" as the product i expect to receive) . plus i don't need to be convinced about something ,AMD is still releasing drivers for the rx580. ps where is Hilbert's review sample of a580 ? A770 memories ..

Maybe he didnt get a review sample, again. Come on Intel get your things together.

Intel sorts samples by country, and since the Netherlands is small, they did not deem it necessary to seed anyone in NL a sample.

"small", but with people with some of the highest purchasing power in the world, with a huge number of corporate HQs in the country ... Intel is living in their own dreamworld...

It's not even that small. Over 17 million people. Besides, seems to me the vast majority of the viewers here aren't even Dutch, so isn't the more important thing is the reach of the publication rather than where they're located?

My thoughts exactly. Its not about how big is the country but how reputable is the tech site. Guru3D definitely deserves a review sample on time.

Oh I Agree, However it's how they work. This literally is what the press-agency told me.

Well their loss if you ask me.

Typical Intel move, they need all the awareness they can gather for their GPUs but instead choose to save a few pennies...

according to a very sophisticated google search "how many countries are the in the world " the answer is 193 +2 ->195 lets say the new gpu ,old a770 with parts of the chip not operating and disabled ,called a580 cost to intel 200 e x 195 countries =39.500 euros so intel needs 40000 e to provide a sample of its product to the whole world in order to promote it. Hilbert has to pay all the infrastructure for this site to operate , his time consumed to do the review and the cost of his personnel . I don't know the above cost but im pretty sure its the same as intel's or even more because this review will be accessible virtually for ever ! Judging from my neighborhood Syria ,Israel ,Palestine , Ukraine ,Armenia wont need a sample anytime soon . Based on the above im not sorry that Hilbert did not received a sample ,im not convinced that intel cares enough and i don't care about its products.

@GlassGR Good call on the new card. I have the rx6600xt and it a 1080p power house.

Depending on where you're located you might be able to find an A750 for almost the same price.
