Radeon RX 6600 XT Released

AMD has a new entry-level RX 6000-series GPU: the $379 RX 6600 XT, which is still based on the same RDNA 2 architecture as its beefier cousins, but it offers a more wallet-friendly price point. The new card promises the “ultimate 1080p gaming experience,” for customers who don’t necessarily need a next-gen 4K gaming setup.

Another GPU that will be extremely hard to buy and end up selling way over MSRP...

I think any GPU released for the next while will suffer from availability and pricing issues. The MSRP for this though, pretending the world is normal, is not too bad.

Makes me wonder what will happen with the next batch of GPUs. By the time current Nvidia and AMD GPUs become available in a normal way, the next ones will be out and the situation will repeat unless I guess all the GPUs have successful mining limiters.

I've just accepted the fact that my RX580's will have to make due for the foreseeable future. 

I'd be happy enough if RX5700's were available at a decent price, or even Vega's.  I can only dream about the 6900XT at this point, double MSRP.......*grumbles.  Yeah nope.  I'll wait and buy a used one at 1/4 MSRP.  Till then, RX 580's it is.  I don't participate in price hikes (other than second hand).

Assuming the 6600XT would actually launch and be available at MSRP, its really not in a bad position.  Not a card I'd be interested in, but definitely a good spot for one.  The 5600XT's were kind of tempting too, so I'm sure this one will be as well.

MSI Radeon RX 6600 XT Gaming X review - DX11: The Witcher III Wild Hunt (guru3d.com)

TLDR: It's usually pretty close to a 1080Ti or a 2070 but can fall far behind in a few games like The Witcher 3.
