I have been thinking about getting a new PC for some time, and if I do get one I would also get a new monitor, and so on.
The reason I am unsure is that I am far behind on games that are demanding. I still have not gotten to play Nier: Automata, Sekiro, Terminator: Resistance, Outer Worlds, Marvel's GotG, to name some that I plan to play at some point.
I have a 1070 now, which has been more, than enough to handle anything so far.
Even though prices have been going down, and might go down even further, the 30XX cards are still pretty expensive, and I don't see that I would really need one.
RTX also does not look like it's worth spending so much on a VGA.
So I could stick with what I have, as there are still many games for me to get to that runs just fine on the 1070, or maybe get a 2070 for example. With 40XX coming out and 30XX cards going down in price the 2070 might not be a worthwhile investment, even if I keep every other part of the PC.
Any thoughts?
As a general rule buy whatever the best tested/reviewed card is in the $200-300 range. This is far more efficient than buying some $500+ card, since they lose value just as quickly.
Radeon RX 6600 at $235 is the best value card right now.
Fair points, and thanks for the recommendation on an exact model.
