Nice! Don't know why there's so much hate when people want cheaper GPUs. So much ass kissing for these companies.

I think one of the big issues is that manufacturing costs honestly have gone up, and if every little bit of manufacturing goes up, even selling at very slim margins, the bottom end pretty much just get fucked. 

The RX 6400 is probably the only lower end card with comparable price-to-performance to the 560, and it's 140 as opposed to 100 from 5 years ago. But then, if you spend just 20 dollars more for the 6500, you get a massive bump in performance.

For the lower end, it really does seem like that their best option is literally just to buy second hand. You can get a 1070 for like 150 bucks right now, which handily beats out the 6400 and even the 6500.
