I've been looking at upgrading my PC from a secondhand 2060 I got in early 2021 for cheap. Right now, Newegg has a sale event this week where all sorts of things can be purchased at 10% off, including new GPUs. I already kinda regret not looking into this when they were being bundled with Wukong.
Right now, they're still being bundled with Star Wars: Outlaws. Been over a month now. I have no idea when they'll next bundle their cards with a game I actually want. And Outlaws is a game I really don't want.
What would you guys think in this situation?
Well, for what I'm looking at anyway ($600 4070 Super), the discount is not more valuable than a new game I'd want. Though when that'll come around again, God knows when. Would've been amazing to get both this discount AND a free $60-70 game that I actually want to play.
After all the years of shortages in GPUs, this is a luxury issue.
But one that you can generally expect to continue, might as well enjoy the luxuries you can get to the fullest.
Buy the bundle then make a fun video about DEI failure while you demonstrate what a worthless frisbee it makes, and post it HERE!
That Star Wars game is dogshit fwiw
No shit. It disgusts me that there's a possibility that my purchase of a new GPU will in any way support Ubisoft. Not to mention they're the type to use special corporate launchers requiring corporate accounts just to play a fucking offline single player game. I might have even considered "rage-playing" since I'd be getting it for free, but not with that shit.
