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?
The holidays right around the corner, surely there should be some halfway decent sales during that time. It's not as good as it used to be since retailers wised up but there's still money to be saved.
I'd recommend wait, there's always deals to be had, unless you're worry about supply disruption then fomo and buy now.
Personally, currently on 3060 and holding out for 5060 or 5070 but not loving the vram specs based on rumors. It's insane they given us 3060 with 16gb for $100 more while 5060 is gonna be 8gb and 5070 at 12gb. What is this? 2021? Sure I love gaming, but being able to run AI locally is an added value to my gpu purchase. Guess I'll just wait and see.
Yeah.. 5080 with 16gb vram. Thats so scummy of nvidia.
