My RX480 from 2016 is still kicking, if crashing a bit. At this rate when it breaks I'll just use my steam deck docked instead of selling my liver to buy a new GPU

About a year since I upgraded from my RX580 and I only did it because I got an amazingly stupid deal on a RX7600 ($175 about 3 months after launch). Otherwise, the card is fine and is, in fact, still being used on my cousin's PC.

I have an RX580 as my eGpu. I was thinking of upgrading this year as I got a new laptop. Works great though.
