You are thinking of Eth and crazy alt coins.
If you are saying these other coins die when BTC drops, I suppose you are mostly right
Typically they've got tons of hours on their fans and might come with weird firmware for memory tweaking and lower core clocks because memory bandwidth is usually the primary goal followed by reduced power consumption.
Personally I stay away unless I have someone who has almost no budget or it's throw away priced. I bought a 8GB RX470 on eBay for $80 between mining booms. It was mostly fine. When I had the opportunity to flip it for almost $400, I did.
The "best" part is the potential flood of cards will depress demand for brand new cards and bring prices down. At that point, I feel investing in a new card - ideally from a line that is post mining bust so if you RMA you don't get an old mining card in return - has some reasonable value.
7 years and a pandemic between that and this sounds about right.
But otherwise, I'm not really sure why so many people feel a need to bash the low end cards generally or the 6500xt specifically. I guess its just moral outrage?
Yes this card is not as good as more expensive cards. Isn't that always so? Pay more and ya get better.
Yes this card is over priced. But all cards are currently over priced still really.
But this card is better than anything cheaper. (saving used stuff)
If I'm wrong there then please do point to another new sub $200 card that out will out perform it.
I grabbed this as I have been running the Intel UHD 730 waiting on these ridiculous prices to drop. Paid $250 for an Xbox Series S, which is an entire game system. Stupid I have to pay about double that for a descent gaming video card. I play mainly 10+ yr old games, so this will run those at max settings over 100fps. If you play new games, then yes get a 6600, 6600XT, or whatever as this will not run well.
