Graphics Card Prices

Im looking into building a system, and im wondering if I should wait for the 20 series cards to release, or get a 10 series card. I was considering buying a 1060 3gb, but should I wait to see if the price drops after the new ones come out, or buy a lower ranked 2050 when it releases. Any thoughts would be appreciated and if anyone can give me what they think the prices will potentially drop to that will also be helpful.?

eBay is what you want for a good graphics card deal.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Just save a little bit more and get a 1060 6gb. I wouldn't deal with used stuff, since many ex-miners are dropping their cards here. Yes, you buy it for cheap, but if it fails - you can do nothing.

I got a gtx 1060 6gb last week and it's super nice, especially after my old gtx 760 - a huge jump in performance.
