Well I think that’s stretching it, and my old R5 1600 did get a new GPU, but I also had a period where I had to use an older GPU because the original Radeon 5800 suddenly quit on me just before it reached 2 years. I got a full refund, because the GPU prices were insane at the time, and the Radeon 5800 cost more than twice what I gave originally even as a 2nd hand used card!
I simply refused paying that much, and played retro games on a Radeon RX 560 for almost a year, a card I had bought dirt cheap for about €100 for a media machine.
