Hi, someone on the other end of the spectrum here.

The most exciting time in gaming in the past 10 years for me was when AMD announced the RX480. They were excited about a $200USD GPU, targeting 1080p gaming.

I ended up buying an RX570 a some time later on a sale. Great card!

Years later I started looking around for an upgrade. Each time I looked it was as if mid range had ceased to exist at a reasonable price point. For examplw last year in my region the RTX 3050 was 3x the price I paid for my RX570, and wasn't that much cheaper than an Xbox series S.

I think it's great you love your 7800XTX, and I hope they continue to make good high end cards. But I also hope they remember my area of the market exists, and after 8 years of engineering improvements since the RX480 I want them to release a pair of cards targeting 1080p and 1440p gaming at a killer price.

You know that's totally fair
