Digital Foundry: Why We Recommend Buying a GPU Now

It does, for old gaming, not for modern.

Are you upgrading from 1XXX or RX 4XX/5XX, it makes sense. From 2 generations ago at the current prices it doesnt.

I beg to differ. At $560, my Hellhound 9070 non xt was a worthy upgrade over my 6900XT. Way better RT, FSR4, 220w vs 300w consumption (and living in FL with the pc in a closed office this is huge) while also performing better (easily uv/oc'ed it to about 9070XT performance).

Trust me, I keep my cards a long time (took a R9 290X from 2013 to 2019) but after the years of BS in the gpu space, buying a card with newer features when the price is right is absolutely worth it.
