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

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

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.
