Wait for Super and RDNA?

I'm conflicted. Should I buy a 2060 now, or wait for AMD and NVIDIA to release their cards in July? I wouldn't buy their cards at release obviously, but it seems that the price will drop on the 2060. Any advice?

16 days from a shitload of Navi benchmarks incoming, I honestly say that if the waiting is lesser than a month you'd have to be nuts not to wait and risk the buyers remorse so soon.

Yeah, that's just what I was thinking right now.

That’s the question I had, i was losing my mind and finally i came to a conclusion that I’ll just wait for the RTX SUPER cards, since I believe the 2080ti price will drop due to newer cards and I’ll get it then

That's my logic as well. The existing RTX cards should show nice discounts as retailers try to clear stock.

Wait x 1000.  If nothing else, whatever product you want will probably be cheaper a few weeks from now.  Hold the line!
