    ok weird one honest question. i have been waiting for teh next generatoin for two years with a aging mid-range GPU. i mostly play competitive shooters. i finally have a strict 300 dollars ready. Part of me wants to buy today, part of me is scared of buyers remorse when something better launches next month. How do you all deal with this? i would realy like to just enjoy my evenings again.

    hmmm consider teh previous generation on sale or used with a warranty. Right after a launch, older cards often get discounted, which is teh one time waiting realy pays.

    check ur bottleneck before anything else 馃槫 watch GPU usage in an overlay like MSI Afterburner while playing. if the GPU sits near 99 percent, the GPU is the problem. if it is low and one CPU core is maxed, a new card wont help as much as you hope. worked for me anyway 馃し

    hmmmm not sure about that honestly, consider skipping teh GPU and upgrading the whole platform later. Putting a big card in an old system can be money stuck in a dead end.
