Should you buy a GPU now or wait?

Transcript

Should you buy a GPU now or wait for the next generation? RTX 50 series prices are insane as we all know, and you can blame this directly on the RAM crisis. GDDR7 and VRAM chips come out of these same factories that are feeding AI data centers. And Nvidia, again, as we know, is prioritizing these AI data centers because they're way more profitable than your gaming GPU. And do you wanna know the worst part? The RTX 60 series, which naturally is gonna be the next generation, is not expected to release until the latter part of 2027 and potentially 2028. That's crazy. There isn't any confirmed date of release, but a lot of leaks are showing late 2027 to early 2028. So that means if you don't buy current gen, you could be waiting a year or longer. Isn't that just atrocious? And there's zero guarantee of any price drops before then because the same RAM crisis that's causing GPU prices to spike right now is expected to still be happening into 2027 and 2028. It feels like you're not getting a better deal no matter what you do. Waiting means you play on whatever old card you have right now and buy something that's probably gonna be pretty expensive in a year or later. And buying now means paying more than you should for a GPU that's priced again way higher than it should be. If your card is dying or you're building a PC right now, buying today kind of beats gambling on a generation of cards that isn't even released yet and keeps getting pushed back. If you can actually wait a year or longer and you don't need a GPU right now, then please, just wait, you probably don't need one right now. But don't expect 50 series prices to drop anytime soon and don't expect 60 series cards to be affordable at all, really. Are you buying now? Are you waiting for the 60 series? Let me know in the comments.
