I've not been keeping track of the graphics card situation for many months now, so was surprised to watch:
It mentions that any gaming 5700 XT owners should be upgrading to a 6700 XT for free due to the former's mining performance. One person in the comments even mentioned directly swapping their 5700 XT with a miner's 6700 XT.
Is this bs? Checking the bay, looks like I could get maybe £530+ for my 5700 XT, but a new 6700 XT would be around £650+ (or £600+ used). Not really a free upgrade or straight swap (though arguably worth it for the price difference, before considering bay/PP fees / risk of being ripped off when selling and the risks of buying used in this market.
