Must be nice to have such awesome 15yo machine, as my 6yo still have only 4gb vram (1650s).

If You had enough coins to buy top top tier 2010 rig with 8gb vram back then, You surely had much to upgrade it in 2015, 2020, and also did nice 5090 upgrade this year too! Who cares single 5090rtx do cost 4-6x than whole Gabecube is expected to cost.

Having industry market is awesome, You can find something ultra powered for Yourself, and I can do find some budget for myself too.

Ngl, I'm slightly jealous You're in the top 30%, even top of the top of it these 30%, that article is NOT about.

Yeah, I admit, it was quite expensive. I never updated one single bit of it, except switching to a 1080 one or two years after buying it, though.
