The current GPU is quite... underwhelming and struggles with anything more intense than rendering desktops. The old ATI Radeon HD 6570 is probably nearing the end of its lifespan. I'm thinking up upgrading to a Radeon RX 6600XT or 6700XT in the next few months. You'll finally be able to game at respectable framerates, if bandwidth allows, of course! React with a 👍 if this is something you want to see happen!

It looks like Intel has some GPUs that are going to be released soon. However, prices are still super high so this might have to wait for a bit.

Yeah GPU prices aren't going down soon so this is going to be a v4.0 thing.

Unfortunately, Micro Center doesn't usually have many 6600XT's in stock, and even when they do, it's super expensive. No way I'm getting a 6700XT with these current prices.

I went to Micro Center this morning and bought a 6600XT for $519.99. I feel scammed.
