Cooler didn’t arrive until after dinner. If I were twenty years younger I’d have stayed up all night. 😆

As I suspect a lot of people are doing, I’m going to keep using my existing graphics card until RTX 5000 series drops in January. Everything else is new, though. First build in seven years.

New ones are always better and we have been waiting for new ones for over two years

New ones are leaked to be much more expensive.

It only makes sense to wait if you were planning on spending $2000 on a new card. The cheaper 5070 won’t be out in January.

Yeah if rumors are true they’re gonna be hard on the wallet and the power budget, too. Bought a ridiculously large PSU in anticipation. 😆

Amd is supposed to be bringing out a $500 card that is more powerful than their current 7900xt. That will be a great card.

I’d not heard that. I thought AMD was sort of sitting this generation out. Huge if true.

They are sitting out the high end like the 5090. They are going for the mid range like 5070 or 5080.

They’ve stopped production on the 4000 series and prices on those are only going up. The high end of the 5000 series is supposed to launch in January.

I briefly considered grabbing an RTX 4080 Super. It’d still be a big upgrade over my RTX 3080 LHR, but with January looming I decided to wait. Hopefully there’ll be a week or two between retail availability and crushing new tarrifs. 😆
