It's best to wait if you can especially if you're building a decently high-end system.

 

It's supposedly coming out around Q3-Q4 of the year. You can get a relatively cheap midrange GPU in the meantime if you have to use the PC for whatever reason.

No concrete info on that but at worst, probably the same as RTX 20.

 

If AMD can actually compete now though, maybe pricing will be a notch lower.

I would not pay full price for a GPU that's based on nearly two year old technology like Turing.  Wait for Ampere and either spend the money up front or buy used.  A bunch of folks will be dumping their cards to upgrade.  I know my 2080 Ti with water block will be going for $500 or so when they are released.  Don't really feel like figuring out how to reattach the stock cooler.

  • 1 month later...

I’m in the same dilema I’m gonna put together my pc with a Ryzen 9 3900x and attach a gtx 1660 super until the new rtx 3000 series comes out although, I’m gonna wait until the end of the month since there are no Gpu s available on Amazon until the 20 + august so, I recommend  you do the same. Use a cheapo gpu or just wait like me.
