Given all the compromises of the RX 6500 XT, I think launching a 4GB version of the RTX 3050, at a reasonable price may be a good move. If they can keep it at PCIe 4.0 8x, it's not going to be as fundamentally compromised as if it had a 4x bus connection.

In terms of raw performance, it should also still outperform the RX 6500 XT, which should in turn lead to lower prices for that card. Add Intel's lower end cards into the mix, hopefully bringing more price-performance competition and maybe we could see some sensible prices emerging across the board.

If it out performs the 6500 it will cost more than the 6500 plus a bit more because Nvidia brand power and trinkets. This is easily observable in the going rate for existing AMD and Nvidia cards.

6500 XT is actually available at basically MSRP here because it is compromised at being anything other than a low end graphics card. Worthless to exploit for anything special.

Same for whatever intel puts on the table. If its capable and flexible it will have a high market value whatever the suggestion of the manufacturer. Supply beating out demand is the only way prices will come down.

That or a global crackdown on the absolute BS of burning electricity through graphics cards to create and sustain trading tokens.
