gollark: But why?
gollark: Either they'll be pretty good, or I can buy a used RX 580 or something.
gollark: I'm probably going to, as I said, wait for Navi/2020 stuff.
gollark: Also, I think my GPU is dead/dying a bit, because at high load games crash and freeze for no good reason.
gollark: Do you know how many tabs I keep open?
