So me being the fool I am with my impulsive buying, put together a Ryzen build with a msi and corsair ecosystem.

th msi 2080 super seahawk x was loud and hot, smelt like it was burning and when playing any game it would drop down to 14fps at 95c. Pump failure i bet, anyway that is rma etc.

With the nvidia 3 series coming out soon (when?) is it worth just accepting defeat with my ryzen paperweight (no onboard graphics), sticking with my spare gaming laptop and waiting for 3's or do i get another msi 20 series gpu then trade in?

Do msi do a trade up program like evga?
 
well, my laptop has a 2080 in it but the intel i9 heatfest throttles so bad the gpu can't even reach its full potential.

I could probably sell the laptop and get a gpu and basic lappy for work? I just know gpu's are overpriced compared to what they will be in 4 months time
 
i splurged on a 1080ti for £450. purely because its better than anything else for the price. I'll keep it as a backup as i bet it'll handle low res games in another 5 years
