Maybe someone can correct me if there is a flaw in this idea, but you can get last gen for significantly cheaper when new gen releases. I bought 3070 founders edition for ~$350 soon after 40 series dropped
I’m upgrading my PC from 2017 (GTX 1070) this year and the GPU market is a bloodbath. I managed to get a 5080 via a Newegg scam combo after sitting there and refreshing… for days. Even the combos would sell out almost instantly upon going up.
The lack of availability of 50-series combined with lackluster generational performance growth (4090 is better than 5080) means that used 40-series cards either kept or even gained value. New 40-series cards don’t exist anymore since nvidia stopped production months ago to focus on 50-series.
5070(ti) launches later this month and the rumors I’ve seen are that it will be just as bad as 5080/5090.
