100% agree with this assessment. AMD screwed themselves with this radical non-AMD approach to customer sales. Once they realize they had something people wanted, they forgot about the sheer size of Intel...instead relying on the product to bolster market share. Covid-19 put the brakes on their...

Most people do not have a lot of room between the forward end of their videocard and the front of the case. Positioning the connector there may pose a few issues with case fitment.

Believe it or not. I just bought two of the Palit version of this card and just one offers a really great, smooth gameplay experience. I haven't even opened the box on the other. No need to. It offers an even better all round gameplay experience than the HD6950 it replaced. The HD6950 was...
