I couldn't get past the scalpers in 2020. That was already a _slightly_ delayed refresh driven by a combination of less than stellar AMD GPUs (Linux, so nVidia's not a good option) and cryptominer hell to that point. It's going to be 2 years later, and at this point I'd rather jump directly from DDR3 to DDR5.

I thought the Radeon 6800 was a pretty good launch. Didn't it hold up with Nvidia in most benchmarks except RT?

  That would be the scalpers issue, both for the card and the rest of the system to make it worth upgrading the card.

    I got lucky and got a 6800 from AMD.com (wanted the 6800XT). It was pretty sucky that AMD said they'd have a lot of supply, and then didn't.
