I'm curious about Crime Boss: Rockay City sice it was first revealed, but it kind of feels like a game that has more style than substance.

@Intel's B580/570: they look good on paper. Even if that price becomes 300€ over here, which is very likely, the competition would be the 7600, the 4060 and the "old" 3060. If the drivers are ready for the reviews, it would be a worth purchase for a lot of people.

Too bad Intel has kicked Gelsinger out, as he seemed to understand that Intel needs their GPU business, and we don't know what the new CEOs may think of it, as it brings back the fear that Intel may scrap this business line like they've done with many others.

300€ will probably be too much, as the A750 can already be bought for as little as 220€ in some places, with the A770 just above the 300€ mark. I think 270-280€ will be needed as pricing in Europe to effectively compete with their own predecessors.

The board has replaced the engineer Gelsinger with the CFO and another guy from finance, exactly what Intel couldn't possibly need right now. I hope Gelsinger did bring enough changes for the better to right the Intel ship, otherwise they'll steer Intel Inside™ a bankruptcy. 

The problem is that we already know that ASRock and other cards will be priced at $270-280, and we know how tech companies do their change to Euros with the excuse that VAT is included. Therefore no, I don't think 300€ is too much.

The comparison with the A770 isn't exactly fair, as one card hasn't launched yet while the other has been available for two years and has had many price cuts. Older parts always have that advantage, be GPUs or CPUs. It's the better performance that sells new hardware, and the A770 was slower than a 4060, and held back with the launch drivers.

Regarding the new CEOs, yeah, they seem to follow the steps of the ones that led Intel to the current situation that Gelsinger was trying to fix. Let's hope we're wrong and they put the viability of the company before short term profits to appease shareholders.
