Most NVidia cards are also way overpriced right now, especially on the lower end.

For the price of a 3050, you can get a 6600XT

For the price of a 3060, you can get a 6700XT

For the price of a 3060Ti, you can get a 6800XT

Yea Nvidia GPUs are certainly not price competitive but that is also reflected in the used market from what I have seen. I was going to sell my Strix 3080 which I bought for $1250 CAD during launch, now it's selling for $850-$900 in the used market. AIB 6800XTs are selling for around $700-$750 in comparison, sometimes less. If you don't care about Nvidia goodies like RT/DLSS/Reflex, then it's pretty easy to recommend going with Radeon.

Even of you care about those, it still makes more sense recommending the AMD GPUs over the similarly-priced NVidia variants right now.

Due to the performance disparity, the gap in Raytracing is very narrow at that price tag, and DLSS has FSR as an AMD counterpart that has catched up enough to make both virtually indistinguishable from each other in movement. Which just leaves Reflex as an advantage that NVidia GPUs still have at those price tags, but that one's not big enough to fill the gap in raw performance.
