Well I am shocked, SHOCKED I say! Well, not that shocked.

I’m still surviving on my RX580 4GB. Limping along these days, but no way I can justify the price of a new GPU.

R9 380x does more than I need it too.

If it wasn’t for video format compatibility (av1 mostly) then I would still some R9 fury coil whine as background noise.

The R9’s were really something.

UE5 runs like a tragedy

What about the used market? The Nvidia 1080/1080 TI or AMD 6000/7000 series is not too bad.
