Idiotic tariffs, indifferent retailers, depraved flippers and AI mania are making the simple act of buying a graphics card the defining misery of PC gaming in 2025.
Buying RX 6800 XT in early 2023 for €400 was the best decision I could make. The card even OCs by almost 20%… Coil whine is exceptionally bad on it though.
There is literally nothing I can upgrade to that makes any financial sense.

I’m on a 2080 Ti and even I’m having a hard time justifying these upgrades. Upgraded my wife’s 1080 with a used 3070 instead.
