Yep, they were honestly decent cards, but wrong time to launch. Same issue nVidia had with 400 series, without the whole "overpriced to fuck, trying to scam customers" kinda deal they had with the benchmarking requirements for reviewers.

From the last few gens? Not even close to best. Certainly not more than Radeon 9000 series, HD4000 series, HD5000 series, HD7000 series, and R9 200 series.
7900 XTX, one year later is at 0.19% on Steam.
A year after 6900 XT released, 6900 series was at 1.19%.
Given their last high end before 6900 was 390X, which there is no steam hardware survey on, but 7970 was ahead... Yeah, not even close.
I'm fine with it. Consumers reap what they sow, basically. AMD is likely gonna drop high end GPUs in general, if not dedicated GPUs completely.
4870, x850...
I mean, all of that assumes requirements won't keep increasing. Raytracing just artificially increases the performance requirements once you start getting to the top of what's possible. The same will be done once RT is getting capped out.
