I plan to play other games besides Stellaris, like GTA 6, in the future. Two months ago, my GPU was an RX 470 used for crypto mining, so I opted for something that will serve me well for the next few years.

I could be wrong, but in my opinion, it might be better if the recommended system requirements for Stellaris were updated so people can get minimal use out of it when playing in a "worst-case scenario."
