Only one GPU in stock

cedge206

So i recently changed the setup of gaming pc, was custom loop and all that fancy stuff and well long story short. I need to buy a new GPU. (i know im f**ked).

I'm in Australia and there's only a handful of gpus available, nothing will be in stock for a few months even then they got hundreds of backorders.

So left to decide between

 

RX 6700 XT for $1200

RTX 2060 for $750

GTX 1660 for $660

a few rtx 3080 for over $2500 from scalpers

 

What to do? budget wise i could prob afford the 3080 in few weeks

What games do you play, and at what resolution? Definitely not the 3080 for $2500. That's highway robbery, even if it's $2500 AUD. Would you prefer to just get it over and done with, or could you do with a placeholder for a little while until things settle down a bit? Demand should come down eventually (fingers crossed). But if you're wanting to get the most performance per dollar ASAP, I'd say the 6700XT.
