HBM is super expensive. The whole Vega was just a disqualified computational card sold as a gamer thing.

I am 100% aware of that, it's why i got it used back in 2020 for 230 euros to upgrade from a 1060 6GB.

So did i had value in a RX580. Watercooled, OC'ed to 1680Mhz and what more. But it was not sufficient anymore so i bought a replacement, a 6700XT. 150% faster at the same power levels. And in 2 years you'll have another good replacement for that.
