I don't see people that spent $2-3K on a gaming PC wanting to rush out and buy a $600 console just to play a couple games. If anything it'll create resentment towards Sony for pulling this nonsense.
I agree. I think it's a good value at the $549 MSRP. The OC cards at $580-590 become less of a value. Might as well spend the extra $20-40 for the full blown 9070.
Know what I want? An aftermarket AIO for my GPU. Why no one makes them I don't understand. Like if someone has a 5080 or 5090 (reference PCB) and just wants to add an AIO to it you'd think that would be an option.
Sounds like they are using binned silicon that didn't meet 9060XT specs due to the drastically lower clock speeds. And a 128 bit memory bus.
Doubtful these will come anywhere near close to 9060XT performance, even if flashed.
