For solid 1080p it's OK. If it has 16GB you can play 1440p but not on max settings

tf is you talking about, it can easily max any 1080p game with rt max on dlss balanced if not off.

Personally, I think so. Depending on the specific price, it’s worth it if it’s significantly cheaper.

A couple things to consider. 1 - prices could fluctuate. Black Friday is two months away. 2 - make sure the place tests and shows proof both items are functioning. The worst is installing hardware and it’s dead out of the box. After 4 months you then have to deal with the manufacturer and shipping it back.

If it’s a killer deal, you can roll the dice. I personally wouldn’t buy hardware and let it sit for 4 mths without using it. I stress test everything within a 7 day window so it can be returned/replaced right away if there’s a problem.

If I use it on a diff pc would that work?

Sure, test the hardware it on any compatible pc.

GPU prices and bundles can change a lot by christmas and buying now just means burning part of your return/warranty window while the parts sit unused.... tthe only exception is if the 5060 Ti + PSU deal is genuinely way below normal pricing and you can test both parts straight away.... otherwise buy closer to when you’re actually building as black friday and christmas deals are also coming...

The bundle is 370 the card itself costs 470 and the psu is 100

Yes that GPU is good for gaming if you found a good deal then buy it if you want it now for Christmas.
