I got a painful reminder of this in the spring. The RX 570 I had in my build died. I paid around $199 CAD for it. Retail for an RX 6400 was around double that, and based on benchmarks online, it would have provided worse performance, which is shocking 5 years later. I sucked up purchasing an RTX 3050 for around $400 since it was at least a performance increase, albeit not very high on the bang for my bucks scale.
