State of the Game

Take a look at the 3080 & 3090 prices...
(allegedly the price of the 6900 XT was elevated by AMD earlier this year, if that is correct the scalpers aren't scalping too badly, but the current price is still well OTT - I could buy 2 PS5s and still get change for that one GPU!
Yeah - I keep seeing whole PCs advertised lower than the gfx card they contain. gfx cards feel like UK house prices - I keep thinking they can't keep going up and aren't worth it, and yet up they go ...

I was looking out for a higher-end PC, just in case, but see plenty of 3060 / 3070 rather than 3080 which is where I'd prefer to be! (as is the case with the 6800 & 6900 - a few pounds difference in price)
 
Here's hoping my RX 580 doesn't give in any time soon... no way I can afford a new graphics card right now. I managed to use a crappy low end budget HD 6670 for six years and eventually killed it playing GTA 5, I'm sure I'll be fine.
I've got a 580GTS too.
I've found it pretty good for ED however I don't do any of that planet side running about stuff and my monitor is rubbish.

I do a lot of on-foot stuff and it serves me well enough. I usually play at 1080p medium settings and the worst I've seen it drop down to is about ~25fps during a high-intensity on-foot combat zone that was full of players, so not bad.
