You are the one who said: "There's no reason to buy an AMD GPU in 2023, least of all RDNA 3."
Correct, I stand by it in the context of this thread. I mention that because of course, if we want to be pedantic, there exists at least
a reason to buy AMD over Nvidia, like if you hate Nvidia, or you find it at a major discount, or you're doing something with ROCm etc.
So that means by extension even the £150 GTX1650 4GB you can still buy. Or the RTX3050,RTX3060,etc.
That does not follow.
So if AMD has an advantage is not worth it,but if Nvidia has one it is.
This also does not follow. It's not about
an advantage, it's about the
sum total.
I know nobody who still plays Cyberpunk 2077. It's a game from late 2020 and everyone I know finished it the year before last:
The advantages aren't only existent in CP2077.

The RTX3050 costs more than an RX6600XT/RX6650XT
Correct. It's about 20%ish more than a 6600 but slightly under a 6650 XT in most of EU that I'm looking at. Plus Nvidia has better memory management so I'd have less of a problem with them at 8 GB for 1080p than the 6600. Would I say the DLSS advantage is worth 20% plus all the other smaller extras (RT, encoder, memory management) etc.? Yes. Hypothetically of course; in reality I wouldn't buy
either card unless I was forced to and in 2023 we now have 4060.
and an RTX3060 costs the same as RX6700XT(they also tend to be better or similar in most RT enabled games too).
The 3060 is cheaper than the 6700 XT and has better RT AND better upscaling, as well as more efficient. 6700 XT still has a noticeable advantage in raster, but then it's a question of trade-offs and game selection. It was a much better positioned card vs 3060 Ti/3070(Ti) because 12 GB of vram allowed it not to choke, plus it was cheaper. Versus the cheaper 3060 it's meh. More importantly that's now irrelevant because the 4060 will absolutely outpace it at $299 and there the 8 GB of vram is easier to stomach. Not a great situation either way.

In UE5 with hardware RT,the RX6700XT is massively faster than the RTX3060.
Correction: In Fortnite UE5 the 6700 XT is 20% faster IF you don't equalise for the image quality difference of DLSS compared to TSR. If you do then it's near equal.
Then what about the RTX4060 and RTX4060TI? All that RT performance won't mean much if they run out of VRAM.
What about them? They're still better value than Nvidia's last gen and AMD has nothing to compete with them because now it also has to deal with DLSS 3 and the RT gap is even larger, as well as AV1 encoding etc. AMD is looking to position the 7600 against the 4060 and for near the same price ($269 - i.e. $30 vs DLSS FG, Cuda, Reflex, better RT, better efficiency etc.). How is that in any way competitive? The 4060 Ti is definitely meh and I wouldn't recommend the 8 GB version but it's not like I can point to a better AMD card against it. Imo it's either 4060 or 4060 Ti 16GB. The 8 GB 4060 Ti is pointless.
Now you are trying to sell a £500 RTX4060TI 16GB?
I'm saying I'd rather get a £500 4060 Ti 16GB than a £500 6800/XT.
So in your world you think that the GTX1650, RTX3050,RTX3060 and RTX4060TI 16GB are fantastic buys.
I never said they're "fantastic buys". The only card that's a fantastic buy in its tier is the 4090. Everything else has too many compromises in their price class in order to qualify. Nonetheless if you want a GPU then you can only choose between what's available and not what we'd wish for.
