GPU Shuffle?

[Bytesphere451]

I remember Linus and Luke mentioning in several videos how and when to buy and resell your 2080 or 2080ti (maybe the videos were from the 10series-era).

I can't remember how the shuffle went, was it buy at launch and resell a month or two before the launch of the next generation? Is there an equivalent used GPU shuffle for the previous generation (ie. when to buy and sell an 1080ti in the 20series-era)?

 

Does anyone know how it goes or which videos they explain it in?

I remember him talking about it, must have been on a WAN show episode. From what I remember the theory went a little bit like this:

Buy a videocard and sell it about a month or two before the new cards come out. That is before most people will sell their card, so yours will have more value on the second hand market.

 

Not sure if I believe that theory exactly, but since I am paraphrasing it, I am sure I missed some important details.
