It's interesting how in Canada, there's also 6600 XT still in stock at certain retailers like newegg.

Now while obviously overpriced, the other GPUs that are also overpriced have all sold out. So either AMD is making a ton of them or people ain't buying them.

From what I could read on other sites, AMD really made a ton of them. One of the online retailers interviewed in one of the news said that they got more of one single 6600XT model at launch than they got of the all the 3060, 3060Ti, 3070, 3080 and 3090 models combined at launch.

As a result, the markup is quite low making the card ironically good value now, as it's main competitor in it's price class right now is the 1660, which is getting trashed by the 6600XT.

This card and it's high supply could also be the reason why the prices of AMD GPUs didn't go down much over the last couple months, AMD concentrated it's production capacity obviously on the 6600XT to have enough supply at launch.
