I just upgraded from a 1080 ti to a 5090, and I'm hoping I won't have to deal with this crap again for a long, long time.

You definitly won't need to deal with this in a long , long time.

Finally procured a 5090 after offloading ther 4090. No regrets. At the minimum I'll have the most expensive card to sell and offset a good amount of the cost for the next one.

I bought a 5070ti because Walmart had a deal on it for $700 and I didn't think it would go any lower for Black Friday. Fwiw I'm upgrading from a 3070. Still haven't put it in though.

I will wait for the official PS6 specs

if that thing ends up with at least 32GB VRAM, then I'd feel really bad owning an RTX 5070 Ti or an RTX 5080

I'm someone who tries to keep GPUs as long as possible (I have limited budget). I've kept my 3070 for 5 years now, but not being able to use PS5 equivalent textures in many games is just sad. if I get a 5080 now, I'd expect to get at least 6-7 years out of it. and if a situation happens where I cannot use PS6 equivalent textures on an RTX 5080 in 2029, it wouldn't be any different from what I've experienced with 3070 in 2022

I thought about gettinga 5070ti to replace my 3080. But, then I realized PS6 is probably 2 years away. And it'll prob have 20-24GB of VRAM at minimum. Holding out until 2027. Who knows what memebox Xbox will put out.

The knock on effect from all these is gaming graphics will probably not advance more than what they are now. Path tracing only games will remain a pipedream thank god. Means system requirements will remain static until probably even 2030.
If your card can run unreal engine 5 games at an acceptable perf than you are good to wait it out until the bubble burst.

been going back and forth all week about whether to upgrade my 3070 to a 9070 or not. Think I'm going to hold for now and reevaluate when the new consoles are out.

If it had more VRAM i wouldn't even consider upgrading it at the moment. Am also tempted by a 9060xt as a stop gap but probably not worth it.

Just bought a 4070ti last week. Wasnt planning to but i was in CEX and someone literally brought in a brand new unopened 4070ti to sell. They were building a new gaming PC bit by bit, and something came up so they needed to sell it.
Anyway even though it was brand new, CEX have to sell at used prices. So i got it for £430.

After testing the card over many games over the last few days, i expect the card to last me years. The advantage of playing on a 60hz tv.

and it supports phys-x 32 bit as well. Don't forget that.

I agree that this black friday season was a good time to buy. I bought 2 cards: 5060 Ti 16GB for $369($300 after PayPal cashback) and 3060 12GB ebay refurb for $189. The deals were good enough on their own regardless of shortages. I think that applies to PS5 as well.

But I mean, only buy if you actually want a card and just haven't been feely motivated to upgrade.

I'm still rocking 1080ti. Won't buy any of these overpriced piece of shit gpus

 

[RainblowDash]

Buy now before things get even more expensive.
