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?
AMD is supposed to release mid-range GPUs in January 2025.
After-Christmas sales migh be worth waiting.
I was looking to build a budget PC with a Ryzen 7600, but Amazon reviews for affordable B650 WiFi boards are full of horror stories rated 1 Star for all of them and I just don't want to have to bother with returning part, surprise shipping fees for exchanges, or arguing with warranty services.
Starwars Outlaws would require them paying me to accept their bundle whatever.
but there are times when there is a sweet spot for buying. The 10XX series cards stand out for their time or the cards 4 years before that.
The 1080 might be the best GPU I have ever owned. Fucker is almost a decade old at this point.
