Black Friday sales are an excellent chance for you to snag an awesome gaming PC or a new monitor, all with a healthy discount on the usual price. Unfortunately, it's also an opportunity for retailers to try and shift old stock, especially junk that's been sitting around in their warehouses for years.
So while hunting for a good deal on the latest graphics cards, I spotted this jaw-dropping 'deal' at B&H Photo: Asus TUF GeForce GTX 1660 Super OC for $260, bar a cent, with 'Instant Savings' of $60. This is a graphics card that was released by Nvidia in October 2019, so it's over four years old.

Let's start by looking at something $20 cheaper than that 'Super bargain', namely AMD's cheapest model in its RNDA 3 desktop portfolio. The Radeon RX 7600 is a nice little GPU, with decent (rather than amazing) 1080p performance. Compared to the GTX 1660 Super, though, it will be roughly twice as fast in
