Is now a good time to buy low/medium end graphic cards

If you are still looking - I would recommend an RTX 3070 for 1080p now, if you can stretch to £310 (from elsewhere).

I had a RTX 3070 Founders Edition a couple years ago and I was happy with the performance.

Nvidia is losing to last generation used cards on value, which is a shame...

Thats all about vram limitations. 3070 still a strong gpu, nice bandwidth however limited on vram amount. £100 behind 6800xt on used market even though they were priced similar on the real market. People going for budget don't care about ray tracing.

I sense same between 4070 vs 7800xt / 4070ti vs 7900xt / 4080 vs 7900xtx for next release.

ps: sorry for the off-topic
