These cards are $550-$600

16GB is great for what these are: Gaming cards.

Even on the nVidia side you have to spend $2000 (likely more) to get more RAM than that.

You could buy 3 of these for the price of a single nVidia 5090.

I suppose it's dissapointing that the 6800xt launched over 4 years ago at $649 with 16gb as welll. Inflation can partly explain this, buts still - we had been used to progress across the board each generation previously, at least with AMD.

On the Nvidia side every GPU released in the last ten years competes against what AMD is doing today. People who need more VRAM go with dual 3090.

For the low low price of $2.5k you can outcompete a $600 card. Wow.
