So I'm a minority now? Really expected way more people to stick to this fine GPU.
It was a high end GPU, it was always going to be in the minority of users.
I'm surprised my 6650XT is so low, it's like the perfect mid range card imo. My wife's 6700XT apparently sold a lot better though.
I would have, if it hadn't crapped out on me.
It’s the not-quite-top-end release of a 7-year-old architecture - of course people are going to move on from it even with the current pricing environment. It doesn’t help that the 2060 was roughly equivalent in raster performance at its launch even in games programmed with the older architecture in mind.
Yeah, you're most likely right. I just never got anything more powerful since 2017 because it's been more than enough for the games I play even today, and the games that won't run well on my old trusty... well, they just seem to require a jokingly expensive investment on their lazy and sub-par programming work anyway, so I'm still giving it a pass. Not to mention that ray tracing still hasn't gotten me to care enough to build anything that can run that even on 1080p at 60 FPS.
