Rumor suggests that the increase would be $20-40 and blames the TSMC price hikes.

To little competition and to high demand vs supply -> higher prices. With the current prices it is not like a higher MSRP is going to change the cost of the street price of a videocard.

That 6600XT I bought at launch is starting to look like a better and better deal.
That is why most reviewers can get rekt. Most poo poo'd it. Invoked the spurious MSRP/RRP talking points and old Ferengi math for the basis of their opinions and recommendations. They did nothing for me, but demonstrate how out of touch they are with what normal gamers are facing in the real world. Intellectually they know, they read the comments and pay lip service to all of it. After all, their clicks are down because fewer watch or read content about stuff they can't buy or afford.

I get negative content does better, but that is a poor excuse for trashing the 6600XT. Which influenced some not to buy it, when you could actually get one the first day, even here in the states.
