Is the 5600xt a good buy at the start of 2021

[Joe Slamon]

The 5600xt is the only card that i can find available, would you say it is worth it to buy it now but upgrade in a year or two time, or be patient and wait a couple more months to get a 3060ti?

If you are impatient get 5600xt

and if you can wait a while then obviously 3060 Ti

and Nvidia will be releasing the 3060 Non Ti model soon and 3050's    So wait a little to find out what they got

I would say if you are impatient (like me) and you just wanna game already get the 5600xt.BUT if you have no problem waiting a couple of months then get the 3060 ti.It also comes down to if you want Ray Tracing and the price of the cards of course.

 

In my opinion, since i am EXTREMELY impatient i would buy the 5600xt so i don't have to wait a couple of months.But if i was in your place then i would of regretted it.BUT HEY atleast you get to play games earlier.

Also a happy new year!

I say No.. It would been better if you get RX 580 if your playing still at 1080p. Still Average 100+ FPS on EA Sports.

Are you running a total dogshit gpu right now? Or do you not even have a gpu? Those are the only two cases I'd even think about buying a gpu now. Between weak supply, resellers, and fucking crypto the gpu market is trash.

If you could get one for under $300 maybe.

I currently have a HD5450 from 2009, it has 512mb of ddr2 vram at 600mhz, so yes my gpu is kinda shit. The market is so bad at the moment and idk if I can be arsed waiting any longer

Happy new year to you too!

I'm at the limit of my patience trying to get a gpu now, ive had my system over a month and i cant use it yet. I'm thinking to get a 5600xt for like a year or two and then by then hopefully the market will be better and i can get a rtx card and by then some more ray tracing games will be out hopefully

Ooh that's rough, I can sympathize since I bought a 1660 Super a few months ago despite knowing it would age horribly because I was rocking a GeForce 8400GS (way worse than most integrated graphics) after my GTX 970 died. But I wanted to play Sekiro, RDR2, Control, etc. If the price isn't rape then I can wholly understand jumping on a short term solution to play games right now.

Then sure, get the 5600xt or if you find the 5700 at a good price and flash the 5700xt bios on it for better performance! :).Also thank you for the happy new year wishes! Hope everyone stays safe this year and also their family, lets hope at a better year this time.
