WTF AMD!? RX 6500 XT Review

I was hoping the RX 6500 XT would be the best budget GPU for 2022. It really had a chance in gaming performance framerates and power consumption. But AMD might have cut off a bit too much for the RX 6500 XT price vs the RX 5500 XT and RX 580. Not only that the Media Engine for Encoding of H.264 and H.265 content is pretty much gone too.
