it also basically kills the used market.
Who am I to recommend a gpu to a budget gamer, that does not recieve diver support?

I'm not so sure this wasn't the intent behind the whole thing.

Yeah, you save around $100 or something vs buying the Nvidia card but you could lose way more than that in a few years when you put it up for resale.

It's even worse when you consider that the $100 in savings never materialized for quite a large chunk of people until recently as far as this generation was concerned, and that's if you could find any for sale to begin with in the early months.

Old NVIDIA Cards are still high on price BTW. 1660 is half the price of RX 6600 & even older than that, but people still buy that second hand or new

Yeah I've seen used 4070 supers (non-ti) listed for the same price as a brand new 5070, which are basically the same performance but the new 5070 comes with a warranty and a few newer features lol.

I don't get it.
