The trouble is with the 6500XT having such a poor showing everyone now will want the 3050.
given the likelyhood of the street price being significantly higher than the 6500XT, I can't see that happening.

It likely will be but then what do you expect when these companies see people are paying over 200 quid for the 6500XT.For double the price.
This is the only Nvidia alternative to the RX 6500 XT. Are you guys saying that AMD released a worse deal than this???? There's no threads criticising Nvidia for continuing to make such a shocking-value-for-money 1050Ti.
Yes, it's true that the RX 6500 XT has poor performance. That's fact. However, graphics cards in the entry level segment have always had poor performance. The only thing wrong with the RX 6500 XT is the name IMHO. AMD should have called it an RX 6300 XT. The issue is that reviewers and you guys are comparing it to the RX 5500 XT which makes it look like stagnation.
In normal circumstances, this GPU would have beeen about £130 and it's worth that. Prices has doubled because of the pandemic/shortage. That's not AMD's fault. I've recently bought building materals which have honestly doubled in price since the start of the pandemic. I'm not blaming the builders merchants for scalping etc. It is what it is.
There's way too much dribbling that AMD is doing this specially.
You need to be dropped on your head to be surprised in 2022 that gpu value is worse than 5-6 years ago. Specifically if you're in tech circles which everyone here is.
This is another card in a long list of cards which is very expensive for its performance compared to better times and it is selling because its the current going rate.

Pie in the sky thinking! (Sorry, couldn't resist.)Theres only one or two ways things will return to anything resembling how things were 2 years ago, mining crashing totally and/or people refusing to buy these products at current prices
Personally I think the 3050 is gonna be scalped to hell and back, and the miners are gonna go for them too, hope I'm wrong thoughThe trouble is with the 6500XT having such a poor showing everyone now will want the 3050.
Not sure miners will be so keen considering the recent price drops to ETH have hit profitability quite hard, even a 3080 is now Only making around £1.50 a day after electric so this card is likely to be around 60p a day at the current rate which is not a great return.Personally I think the 3050 is gonna be scalped to hell and back, and the miners are gonna go for them too, hope I'm wrong though
