Dunno, realisticly speaking it is a slightly cheaper 7600, hardly a market shake-up.
And wasn't the 7600 awful value?
Depends... its a very capable 1080p card with extremely good power efficiency.
There is the overclocked "xt" version that is generally considerd bad value as it loses the power efficiency aspect and costs significantly more for only little extra performance.
I feel like I would reach for the used market over a 7600 based on what I read. Even if there were power constraints, one could power cap a 6000 series card.
...Hence I got a 3090 when the 4000/7000 series was long out.
You are overlooking the idle power-consumption. A 7600 basically idles at 5W or so (and turns off all fans). Now think about how many hours you surf the web etc. with your PC Vs. actual gaming and you can see that this makes a big difference.
