I have some basic RT enabled and working ok even with a 6800xt but I don't play most games... Triple 1440.

Lol I'm not playing anything right now, my wife has been "borrowing" my 1080 since elden ring came out. I intentionally got a 1kw pcie5 because I figured that would last me a while, and might even transfer over to my next PC in 10 years. My understanding is that the connector failures are mostly due to incorrect installation.
Inflation... The problem with that is that all gpus are overpriced I think. Combine actual inflation with hot electronics market, low availability, high risk, high interest rates, straight up greed, etc and that's what happens. The only way not to support it is to not play. And that means use integrated graphics lol. I'd love to beat the system, but I don't think that's in my power at the moment.
