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?
Fair enough. For many things in life.
Caught myself last week thinking ''I could have gotten this laptop with 16GB RAM instead of 8GB, with an equivalent processor and more storage if I had waited''.
Yeah, waited 18 months. I really like my laptop for the price I paied.
Same for a GPU if the price was good for the performance when bought.
Integrated graphics let me play stuff up to Deep Rock Galactic. FPS on the threshold of playable, but I never had a single problem with that laptop. ( Ideapad 3, Ryzen 5 5625U 8GB RAM ).
Crashed a grand total of 0 time. It's quiet when not running a game, and tolerable while it does that.
Previous bad experiences after buying a prebuilt PC ( a jet engine at idle ), then an ASUS laptop of shit quality with multiple problems. ASUS's bad reputation was acquired fairly.
