That was a few years ago so maybe prices aren't so inflated these days. --- https://imgur.com/NkZUeFd <cite>kind9 posted [p:946981894] in You know, ...

Not sure if I should buy something now, or wait until Nvidia's and AMD's new GPUs are more readily available. kind9 posted... Last I checked it's not hard to find a decent GPU, but it's hard to find a decent GPU that is reasonably priced thanks to crypto-mining. That was a few years ago so maybe prices aren't so inflated these days. That's what happened to me with my last build. I ended up settling for a lesser GPU due to better cards being out of stock, and third party sellers inflating the price. Zeus posted... The whole build and upgrade angle is one of the biggest things that's kept me from going more in on PC gaming over the years. Honestly, it's not so bad. And depending on how often you upgrade, then it's no different than buying a new console every few years. And it's even more comparable now that "Pro" versions of consoles exist. <cite>Xfma100 posted [p:946982498] in You know, ...

And it's even more comparable now that "Pro" versions of consoles exist. Maybe for some. Though, I usually dont buy the pro, unless its already out by the first time I get the console. I would probably get one if I needed to replace a system, but that hasnt come up yet. The only one Im thinking about getting in the newer switch. Even then, I might not. So, I feel Id definitely have to spend more on computer parts. Not to mention, Id also have to switch it... --- Official King of Kings Switch FC: 7216-4417-4511 Add Me because I'll probably add you.

dedbus 11/10/20 1:59:16 PM #13:	The gpu market has rebounded quite bit since the mining craze. This next cycle looks like it will be an even better value per performance than the Radeon 5000 and rtx 2000 (which was especially inflated) generation.

dragon504 11/10/20 2:25:31 PM #15:	AMD's new gpus aren't out yet and rona + scalpers have made Nvidia's new gpus very hard to get. AMD's gpus launch on the 18th and I believe Nvidia is supposed to launch a gpu on the 17th. Fully expect AMD's new gpus to sell out super fast, just like Nvidia's did. Personally, I'm waiting for a gpu that's less than $500, since that won't really fit into my budget. --- http://myanimelist.net/profile/dragon504 http://followmy.tv/u/dragon504/time_wasted <cite>dragon504 posted [p:946996389] in You know, ...

I built mine 4 years ago and this topic had me wondering if I was supposed to be upgrading it because it plays everything fine and I'm usually one of the first to load in. AFAIK, I don't think you have to upgrade until it starts slowing down or having trouble with certain games, tbh. Though, I think it's happening slower than it use to. But I do know some people that upgrade throughout the years to make sure it never gets to a point where it slows down or whatever. But you would have to know what to upgrade, and have the extra to spend on it periodically... --- Official King of Kings Switch FC: 7216-4417-4511 Add Me because I'll probably add you.
