AMD is launching their RX 6600 XT in August and according to the latest Moore's Law is Dead video, NVIDIA has been stockpiling GA106 chips for use in an "RTX 3060" flood against the AMD RX 6600XT. What this means is that if you are a budget gamer waiting for an upgrade opportunity, you want to wait till August because both the RTX 3060 and RX 6600XT should be available at affordable rates shortly.

NVIDIA shifted to Samsung for its GPU production a while back and while the move seemed like a bad idea initially, we know now that it was the perfect move. With the global chip supply squeezed and TSMC at the center of it all, not being tied down by TSMC's production capability must feel great. According to MLiD, the company is preparing a flood of RTX 3060s and should have vastly more supply than AMD's RX 6600 XT. This combined with the drop in pricing all around the world and the introduction of LHR cards means that we might actually see close-to-affordable pricing with the RTX 3060 and RX 6600XT.
