Yeah the Radeon 7600 had a shit price on launch... It was barely faster than the Radeon 6650XT and it cost more.
Then you could look towards the 7600XT 16GB... But the 6700XT was also cheaper and faster.
AMD just made no sense and couldn't even compete with itself, let alone nVidia.
GPU's like the Radeon 4870, 5870, 6950, 7850, RX480/RX580 were great GPU's because of their price/performance.
They don't need to be the performance leader, they just have to provide undeniable value.
Still the Radeon 7800XT is probably the best bang for buck GPU on the market currently, it soundly beats the Geforce 4060Ti in every metric, it just doesn't have DLSS.
The thing that worries me about Intel is actually... Drivers. They still have a long way to go, despite having come so far... And with Pat Gelsinger now booted out of Intel, not sure if his successor is going to be as supportive of long term, costly GPU investment.
