Nvidia ampere gpus most likely out of my budget, should i buy a 2000 series card

The new nvidia 3000 series cards rumoured to come out end of this year will all most likely be out of my budget, should i just buy a 2000 series card, because apparently the 3070 will be 599 dollars USD

Why not, unless RT performance is something you care rather than something that's nice to have

no still buy ampere, the new cards will at minimum be same price to performance, meaning a $350 ampere gpu will at least get you $350 2000 series card

At this point no official prices have been listed. No one was expecting the RTX cards to be that expensive compared to previous generations. If AMD is unable to compete they could just increase the price another 30 percent again or even more. 

I agree that the mid range cards next gen will likely be on par with the previous high end ones but given the state of the world, those cards may be delayed for a long time, given that they always launch the high end cards first. I would not wait too long with buying a 2000 series card. Once the 3000 series is announced and prices drop, the older generation will be out of stock soon.

RTX 2070 FE is also priced at $599, AIB are at $499, but some have reach the same price of almost $600. Just wait until the official prices Ampere are out before making your decision.
