I'm currently using a computer with a Ryzen 5 2600X, an AMD RX580, a 550W PSU, and 16GB of RAM. There are a few games coming up that I want that might require something more powerful. Should I get a better GPU? What graphics card should I get? Is it even worth it to do so?

Something like a 6600 XT might be worth your time, but the $380 MRSP is too damn high.

If your RX 580 dies you could put in Intel's DG2-128 next year and get around the same performance at much lower power.

Your best bet is to keep that RX 580 alive for another 2 years.

Speaking of, why are GPU's so expensive rn? Even 1070s are over $500. I thought the crypto-mining price bullshit died down right before COVID hit.

Everything is expensive now, especially anything with microchips. It's not just GPU's and crypto-mining probably has little or nothing to do with it at this point.

Chip manufacturers thought coronachan would cause less demand for chips so they slowed down production but demand ended up skyrocketing for a bunch of different reasons, partly because everyone is stuck inside and wants their fancy electronics to keep them sane

Now the new video game consoles sell out within minutes every time they're restocked, video cards are exorbitantly overpriced and vehicle dealerships cant finish their cars and trucks because they can't get their grubby mittens on electronics.

Everythings fucked
