Sell now and wait?

[MrTralala]

Situation: Currently I have an i7-8700k and GTX 1080. I mostly been playing CS:GO, GTA V and Overwatch. I'm hoping when Cyberpunk 2077 comes out, I'll be able to play it at 1080p 144hz RTX ON. There are also a few other games I'd like to play/revisit in the future like Dying Light 2, The Division 2, Final Fantasy XV, etc. With that said,

 

Idea: I'm thinking of selling my gpu and maybe even one of my monitors (it's using DVI Dual link and I heard that newer gpus don't really support that anymore?) now before the price drop hits. During this gruesome few months of waiting for Nvidia/AMD's new line of gpus to drop, I'll just make do with the integrated gpu.

 

Thoughts?

I think the price of the 1080 will hold for bit longer.

If you're waiting for CyberPunk, you might as well wait and grab a 3000 series Nvidia card when they come out.

They'll be leaps and bounds better at RTX than the 2000 series.

Please read the main post before posting. That is exactly what I want to do. The only problem now is should I sell my gpu or can I wait a little longer on selling it without a noticeable drop in price.

Wait to sell. The Price shouldn’t go down too much when 3000 comes and having a gpu is worth the small decrease you’d get when waiting a few months.

You won't save that much money by gimping your system for a few months. I wouldn't see it as worth it.

Now, if $50 - $75 is a lot of money to you, and you don't care about having a gimped system, maybe consider it.
