To the uninitiated....
AMD always price their cards way to high at launch, no exception. They also see better discount figures down the road than Nvidia.
But this time they have really out done themselves, RX 580 was priced about 10-15 USD above 1060 6GB at launch. I think like Nvidia they are targeting 60% margin on GPU, to have some of that mining dough.
Anyway, things are up for a toss till second quarter 2022 anyway, so no point in debating whether it's value for money when the value itself cannot be normalized.
Also, for 300 USD$, anything below 256 bit for bus width is kinda of off-putting, and I do realize they have Infinity Cache, also due to which they have 8 GB RAM vs 12 GB on Nvidia.
