Hi Folks,
I would like to bother you guys regarding the confusion I am having these days.
At the start of this year, I did a major upgrade and got following components: Ryzen 5 5600x, 16GB DDR4 4400MHz RAM and Antec HCG Gold 750w. However, I did not change my graphics card (GTX 1060 6GB) due to no availability and very high prices. I thought that I will grab one, once the situation is improved.
Its been almost a year now, and the situation still doesn't look good. The availability of cards is there, but prices are still 2x (even more).
1. What is the intended use for this graphic card ? Gaming or workstation work? (Name few Games or applications are you going to run)
Ans: Gaming, including AAA titles like Halo Infinite, Forza 5, Assassins Creeds, Far Cry 6, Microsoft Flight Simulator etc.
2. Which Power Supply do you have? (Be EXACT while naming the company and model)
Ans: Antec HCG Gold Edition 750w
3. What is your Max budget ?
Ans: Can go upto 90k.
4. Which Screen resolution will you game at (if applicable)?
Ans: 1080p. Wish to play games at higher fps as I have 144Hz display. I may switch to 1440p in future. Hence, looking for RTX 3070 at-least.
5. What are your current computer specifications ?
Ans: Ryzen 5 5600x, 16GB DDR4 4400MHz RAM, MSI B550 Gaming Edge Wifi motherboard, Lian Li Aircool Mesh 2 cabinet, Antec HCG Gold 750w PSU.
I was satisfied with the performance of my GTX 1060, but it has started bottlenecking a lot, especially with latest titles.
My confusion is, should I wait more? Does it look the situation would improve for graphics cards prices soon? I can wait if it would really worth it,
Currently, my eyes are on this model:
