It was: the dollar will probably get higher here in Brazil in the next year, I got a fairly decent deal for the RX 6600, my other parts are rather new so the GPU was the bottleneck, and the old GPU was a NVidia GTX 580 that I installed in my computer while my nephew was still a baby. Like, I remember him playing around me and my computer as I was building the computer, nowadays the same nephew wears a stubby beard! I wish that I could’ve bought it earlier but well, Latin America, you never have money when you need it.
You missed the time to upgrade, last year there was a craze going around on gpu discounts, Kabum and Pichau had deals all the time. I bought a 6750 XT for 2400 reais, and a month later it was down to just 1950 reais, the 6600 was selling for little over 1100 reais. And even some Nvidia gpus were with good prices, I remember the 3060 12gb selling for less than 1400 reais.
I actually got a good deal for the 6600, only um barão e duzentos pila 1199 reals. I also remember seeing the 6750 XT, plenty times the price was a bit lower than you’ve mentioned. But I bought my GPU by, like, checking Terabyte+Pichau every bloody single day. (I refuse to buy it from Kabum after MagaLu bought it - quality went rock bottom after it.)
I caved in and bought a new GPU this month, so what’s more important to me is the prices of AMD GPUs in the next decade.
What a poor time to cave but I am sure it was for a good reason.

Enjoy it, man. I hope you are happy with your purchase and serves you well for a long time time
Thank you!
