Well, somehow I expected TD's conclusion to be "Skip the current gen, wait for newer gen"

And yet, here we are.

I thought about making this recommendation, but the next generation of GPUs will not be much better. You probably need to wait until about 2027 for a better GPU to come along. I think for many waiting 4 years for an upgrade might be too long, so I recommend mostly buying now. I think the RTX 40 cards are a pretty good investment that will last a bit longer than previous generations.

If its any help, u/tripple13 I bought 2 3090s recently at a "discounted" rate (1400$ compared to 3500$ that I paid when they were kings), I'm really happy with it.

BUT OFCOURSE I ALSO WISH I HAD THE LATEST & FASTEST ONES :')
