Buying a nvidia quadro T600 worth it now? or should I wait?

Go to solution Solved by Jurrunio,

It's never going to be worth it when you dont run CAD software that benefit from Quadro soecific features. It's a 1650 with 4GB memory but lower frequencies in games or general productivity. In practice it's about GTX 960 2GB's performance which can be had for less albeit in the used market.

 

Or you can choose a CPU with iGPU instead. The new ones arent that much slower than these low end cards when you have faster RAM (3200~3600MHz)

So, should I wait for price dips that I cannot see even with a time machine or should I buy one now before even this card fades into oblivion?

I mostly plan on using it for some Blender and Unreal Engine, maybe some gaming in lowest settings(for fps obviously).

 

My BUILD PLAN(comments welcome):

CPU: Ryzen 5 3500 w/wraith stealth cooler

RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB (2x8GB) 3200MHz

MOB: ASRock B450M PRO4 mATX

GPU: nvidia Quadro T600 (waiting for comments)

Storage: 240GB Crucial BX500 SATA SSD + 2TB Seagate Barracuda HDD

PSU: Antec VP450P 450W

and some cello-tape to hold all of them together.

This build will take like 4 months to build, so any update on parts welcome.

 

P.S. I am desperate now, and scared that I might not have a chance to see a GPU with my own eyes.😶

Also, if you guys could help with which parts to buy first in this 4 month time period would help a lot as well(as in buying parts that won't have huge difference with upgrading in a while, like harddisk and ram)

Why not just get a system with a igpu? Id get something like a 11400 here. Faster cpu + reasonble igpu is included.

 

How much is that card? It seems to be about $250 which is way too much for that card, you can get much better cards used for that price.

Gee thanks guys!, going with a Ryzen 7 5700G, which is pretty much the same price as the last CPU+GPU.

 

 

NEW BUILD plan--

Ryzen 7 5700G w/noctua nh-l9i am4

G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB(2x8GB) 3200

GIGABYTE B550M DS3H

240GB SSD + 2TB HDD

a 3060 or something when the price comes down( i believe vram is what I should go for unreal engine? )
