gollark: It might become obsolete if a RXGT+ 2130 (I fully expect the naming scheme of the next generation to be this bad) is made, which presumably will be somewhat cheaper than my card and perform similarly.
gollark: My GTX 1050 is arguably still not obsolete since there is no similarly priced newer competitor from Nvidia.
gollark: You should complain to redidit.
gollark: The best ÇPU for this? Probably an LN2-cooled overclocked 28 core Xeoñ W.
gollark: Oh, and 8x 8K mönitors.
