gollark: The solution is obvious. Build a computer with more RAM so you can make more number.
gollark: Radeon 7s have been discontinued, I think.
gollark: Not *everyone* streams and has a large amount of money for it.
gollark: And "best performance out of everything" only matters if you're just happy to throw away money for the absolute highest-end available.
gollark: Better performance *per unit of money* though? Generally no.
