Thinking about upgrading

[Debeant]

So, I've been thinking about upgrading my graphics card from a 1050 ti to something that's at least a bit more meaty, such as an RX 580. the problem is, with the current market I don't know if it'd be a smart use of money, what with the price fixing scandal going on and rumors of a new Nvidia series rumbling.

Would it be worth the upgrade now, or should I just save my money? I want to run my games at high and ultra quality at 1080p, but at the same time, I don't want to waste money.

i think you should definitely wait RX 580 is a good upgrade but you would hate yourself when the new cards come out as they will be a MUCH bigger upgrade (hopefully), or atleast you could get something with the same performance for a much lower price

Id rather look at the used market atm. Try find a R9 290x or GTX 780ti at the price of an Gtx 1050ti. They perform like the 580 or like the 1060

 

Also AMD cards are still very inflated, especially the Vega and somewhat the polaris cards

I'd wait a bit for the newer cars to release if you're just thinking about an upgrade. Just used your 1050ti for a while until Nvidia releases their new cards. The 10xx cards will drop in value (hopefully). especially in the used market.
