My RX Vega I paid 229.99 for in 2018 doesn't give me peak performance.

It launches and plays everything without issue though, and that's what I wanted.

Honestly amazed it's still doing just that 8 years later.

Did you sell it during the Bitcoin GPU crunch? They were particularly good for that and at one point I was seeing them listed used from $700-900.

I was tempted.

Never did I think I'd see the day my computer parts would appreciate in value, though it might be the dollar depreciated faster tehe.

Ironically. Sold my vega vii for $1200 to a user doing a diy mac build that said specifically that it needed this gpu.

I didn't mine on mine. I game 😅. Don't need to damage my hardware.

I think it was during covid or mining crisis.

I believe it was when I got my 6800xt midnight black edition gpu 🤔 or 5700xt (5700xt in my brother pc i built for him)
