2023 was the year that GPUs stood still::A new GPU generation did very little to change the speed you get for your money.

6600XTs seem to be going for around £200, often £180 even (used, eBay).

If you'd prefer new, you can get a 6650XT for £240. A 6650XT will be 6% faster than a 6600XT.

It's double the performance of a 580, uses less power, will be supported longer, etc.

That's a decent price, might have to go for one of those instead... Thanks for the information!
