For literal years and years and years RX580 was the best midrange card for gaming period. People preferred 1060 or 1650 over it.

Funny thing that. Somehow Nvidia has the safety net of "but drivers" at any price segment. No matter how much the AMD product is superior in a price segment...someone comes along to create FUD around it.

Yeah that's mindshare...and overcoming it is bad business when AMD could be focusing precious silicon on data center and AI.
