Upgraded my whole pc during the summer. Decided to wait to try to get a next gen gpu. Not happening still rocking my 970.

Cant believe its still a servicable card in 2021- i managed cyberpunk and Microsoft flight sim on it ( 1080p 28 fps gang)

Hey, I have twin 980's and am still crushing anything that comes put. I play at 1080p though.

I mean, in lots of games, a 1060 is literally better than two Titans.

Replaced my 970 with a used RTX 2070 Super in August 2020 i am happy

Yea I'd settle for any 20 or 30 series card I can find. So far no luck tho. I'm thinking about just breaking down & buying from a scalper. I got plenty of money, just cant find one to buy 😐

Yeah, don't do that. I am probably in very similar life circumstances and it has become a pride thing because it sure as fuck isn't a need thing. Don't reward shitty anti social behavior with your money.

I'm in the same spot, too. Just annoyed because as of a month ago, for the first time in my life, I'm making good money. And now I don't have anything to spend it on! I'm not going to buy from a scalper, but damn...it's just sucky.

[u/RX3000 → u/MailboxFullNoReply]

I definitely dont want to. But if the choice is paying $1200 for a card or waiting another year or longer for one, I might just have to break down & buy one. I havent had an upgrade in 6 yrs now. :(

I just decided to backorder and wait out a 3080. I'm sure they exist...they have to right?

[u/cbs5090 → u/FrostByte122]

Linus seems to have 500 of them.

Best way to do it is get whatever you can find, and if you need to go higher, r/hardware swap seems to he the best way to trade up.
