The biggest annoyance is how AMD gimps their lower end RDNA 2 cards. Thanks to the low infinity cache, it's terrible at anything but 1080p and even at 1080p, it's terrible. Pair that with only 8 lanes, terrible ray tracing and little to no ML... It really becomes a card that has no reason to exist. Sure the MSRP might be alright in todays market but you are basically getting a dead end card that's prescapled from the factory as it really should be $200 or lower.
Quite the shame really. Last year, we saw the crazy potential this generation had of getting PC gaming back to its feet after Nvidia's Turing was terrible value and AMD took a dump with Vega and RDNA 1 felt like a card with limited use case. But little did we know how greatly mining would affect these cards.
Here's hoping Intel will bring something innovative to the table with budget cards. But them going TSMC with their GPUs is gonna be a cause for concern for me.
