    the Navi 24-powered graphics card might be a good solution for some budget gamers.

    4gb of vram is not for any gamer let alone a budget one. Hell even 8gb is barely functional for basic 1080p gaming these days…

        What a wild sentence to read, that’s only 2 gens behind! Sorry you had to upgrade, but hopefully you are enjoying what you replaced it with.

          That 3070 ended up costing me a sweet €1289, where a 3080 should have retailed for less than that. At the peak of that madness a 3080 went for €3500, hence why i settled for something along my original budget.

          My old pc stopped being able to drag itself through games at 11 years old…poor thing served me well, i still have all the internals and the gpu has a special place on my tv cabinet. That bad boy cost significantly less than the €1289 i paid for the 3070 and outlasted it by a million miles.

          I switched back to AMD with my current gpu seeing how the 50 series is just as insanely priced.

          But i got no complaints because my pc looks absolutely mental and performs well, i got one of those lian li o11 xl rgb cases stuffed to the brim with rgb fans and a closed loop watercooled cpu + vertically mounted gpu…it’s an absolute centerpiece.

    Why don’t they load one of these with 16 or even 32gb ram? vram isn’t that expensive. If AMF did this, they would outsell Nvidia in this segment (and visa versa)
