RE: The XFX 309 SWFT 6700XT | Review

AMD GPUs are absolutely killing it so far. Lately. Nvidia might have things like the Nvenc encoder which give them some headway in the content creation space, but in gaming, in a certain price bracket, AMD is way ahead. I was eyeing the 3060 only to realize later on that the 6600 is a better choice.
And Nvidia is losing ground with their 4000 series which is expected to be very power consuming and inefficient. They need a new breakthrough to catch up to AMD gpus, and of course get rid of those 4 slot cards. But AMD needs to work on their CPUs too. the 7000 rapahael series seems to be a disasterclass compared to Intel.
Imagine the normal temperature being 95 degrees celcius for a 300$ cpu, and especially they don't support ddr4 anymore. Building a new AMD system just got a lot tougher.
For CPUs it's still is a 50/50 scenario I'd say, has been that way for a while, because we still have a lot of Intel users, but when it comes to GPUs, Nvidia has been dominating for way too long. However, finally we're seeing some proper competition in the GPU sector, thanks and no thanks to Nvidia's greedy tactics and AMD for their latest and brilliant line of GPUs.
Now, with Intel entering the scene, shit just got real and it's time for Nvidia to get their shit together. I hope that Nvidia takes a few big hits and learns a thing or two, while AMD and Intel acquire a bit more "support" and market share, slowly closing the gap with Nvidia.
