AMD has copied Nvidia by discontinuing one of its best-selling budget GPUs. Fans of the card are not at all happy about it. AMD wants to force people to shift their focus to other cards to boost their sales. AMD seems to have juiced out this card’s potential.

AMD Shatters Your Plans of Buying A New Budget GPU

Nvidia discontinued one of its most popular GPUs in August of this year. The RTX 3060 was one of the best in the market and was dominating sales like nothing else. However, Nvidia’s decision to discontinue it was due to the company’s attempt to shift people’s focus towards the 40 series GPUs, which were being overlooked due to the successful run of 3060.

AMD, following in the footsteps of Nvidia, follows along the same narrative. It discontinued its best-selling budget GPU, the Radeon RX 6600. This GPU was on par with the RTX 3060; many people preferred the RX 6600 over the RTX 3050 and 3060.

Fans were devastated by the news of AMD shutting down its best-selling GPU. It did not make much sense at first, but players have now realized that this is the company’s attempt to shift consumers’ focus towards the current generation 7000 series since they were being overshadowed by the previous generation GPUs, which no company wants to see.

Even Nvidia has attempted the same thing. It is set to release its new RTX 50 series next year, which will cause a massive price drop in the current 40 series GPUs. To eliminate the risk of people preferring 30 over the 40 series, the company eventually decided to discontinue it.

AMD Has Caught Up To The Hype of Nvidia

Nvidia is one of the most hyped-up companies. For the longest time, Nvidia’s GPUs were considered to be the best in the market. AMD had a slow start but now seems to have caught up with Nvidia.

There are many people who are now preferring to go for AMD cards due to the budget options available. AMD flourishes in the budget section since it knows how to make a powerful machine with a tight budget.

RX 6600 was the people’s favorite GPU. The news of its discontinuation deeply hurt a lot of people. You can still purchase the existing stock from your nearest store. It will be available in the market until all the retailers eventually run out of it. What do you think about it? Let us know in the comments below.
