      Or, hear me out, flip a bird to both NV and AMD and let them keep their shitty GPUs. Buy second hand.

      Stardew Valley doesn’t need the latest and greatest GPU, plus the games that need the latest and greatest GPUs are mostly trash. Other than helldivers, that pretty much runs on anything, (runs well on the deck so far), I can’t think of a good AAA game from 2024 that is hard to run.

      Edit: also would appear that retailers don’t want AMD to enter price competition with NVIDIA because that results in lower margins. Fun times head.
