Or don’t. Buy games that focus more on gameplay and less on graphics. We can push for cutting edge graphics and framerates again when prices stabilize, but we don’t need to throw more money at these companies right now.
Nah my 1080 is good enough.
For what? Any gaming card made since like 2017 is fully capable of playing almost any game. The only reason to upgrade is if you’re chasing super high resolutions, super high framerates, or using AI.
Was about to say 2017 might be pushing it, then I realised even my 3060ti is from 2020 anyway.
1080 TI from 2017 is honestly way too close in performance against 30/40/50 generation xx60 TI cards.
I’m not sure if that makes the 1080 TI impressive, or mid-range of the last three generations rather pathetic.
No.
Buy your graphics card NOW
I’d be waiting until 2028 and substantial additional memory supply hitting the market myself if you can wait.
If you’re trying to decide between buying a video card in, say, mid-2027 or now, okay, yeah, maybe then it’d be better to buy it now. But if you don’t have a really strong need to upgrade in late 2026 or in 2027, you’re probably going to get more bang for your buck by waiting.
Going to be wild when the ai bubble pops in 2028 at the same time more memory capacity comes online.
I have unlimited games that I’ve been meaning to play from the years 2004 to like 2018
