2023 was the year that GPUs stood still::A new GPU generation did very little to change the speed you get for your money.

As someone who upgraded from a 2016 GPU to a 2023 one I was completely fine with this. Prices finally came down and I got the best card 2023 offered me, which may not have been impressive for this generation but was incredible from what I came from.

And how much did you pay for the 2016 card, what range was it in, and what is the new card's cost and range?

Overal, gpus have been a major ripoff, despite these upgrades giving good performance boosts

I believe about $300 for an AMD RX480 (great card and still going strong). This time I had a bit more money and wanted something more powerful. I went with the AMD 7800 XT Nitro ($550) which I got on release day. Sure it's not top of the line but it has played pretty much everything I throw at it with all settings set to max and still maintaining 60fps or above. I have an UW monitor with its max resolution being 5120x1440 which is what most games will play at and everything still plays fine. It's almost crazy to me that this card would be considered mid range.

7800XT Nitro gang rise up! Come from a 1080 and it's been a leap!
