Should I wait for next gen GPU

[Suryansh5545]

I am going to build a pc for game development in march to be more specific to use Unreal engine 4. But seeing all this that rdna2 is going to be releasing in 2020 and nvidia ampere will also release in 2020 with 50% boost . I can't decide weather I should just go ahead and do it or wait for the new gpu to release?

I'd argue get something now and develop on it. Whatever you do is likely going to perform better anyway on later hardware.

 

Ultimately though, you should test on the lowest specification you're willing to support.

If you wait you’ll have a product that will only work on the newest stuff and you may block your market.  If your system only works with a $600 gpu, that gets added to the cost of the product of a potential user doesn’t have one.  Depends on what you are making of course.  The new cards might have stuff you want to implement, but an older card can get basics out of the way since there won’t be a whole lot of change and you can at least start development now.
 

 If you want to develop I would think you’d probably want more than one older GPU anyway.  Both an older Nvidia and older AMD card.  Set your minimum bar.
