PATIENCE - IF PLANNING TO BUY A 50 SERIES..........

[P.B]

Based on experience, yes I do: my brother's PC runs my old 2080 Ti. It's fine for his PC needs and his daughter's. There are lots of people running really old gear. It likely won't run the newest games of 2033 very well, but so what?

I suppose my mate fired up dying light on a 980ti i was actually amazed it ran tbf

Don't often see many examples of this on this forum!

Adults build workstations, children build gaming PCs.

And lets face it, a lot of people who buy these latest cards end up playing the likes WoW on them anyway.

wtf?!??!. What kind of space cadet drops a minimum of 2k for a card to play WoW? At least play LoL ARAM™

The GTX 1080 Ti was released in March 2017, nearly 8 years ago, for £670. If you've kept it all that time it's cost you about £7 per week. If you buy a RTX 5090 now, for £2k, and keep it to 2033 it will have cost you a little over £20 a week. I don't think we've had 200% inflation in the past 8 years.

£7 per month not week for 1080Ti
£20 per month not week for 5090

There's a lot of people who have skipped 20, 30 and 40 series because of cost, but they've now managed to secure a mortgage to get a 50 series card

thats me! aside from the mortgage heh. 1080Ti has played games I play fine for me at the resolution i play at (3440x1440) - however for me and i think many 4k Monitors are becoming more of a thing - after getting an OLED TV i do really want a 4k OLED monitor and have that itch to build a PC again.

D'oh!

Of course you are correct.

I'm going to breathe, wait until things settle down, stock gets greater than single digit, and then I'll buy a 6090.

Smart move, except 6090 will have RRP £3k for only 50% more performance than 5090, while 6080 still won't beat 4090

D'oh!

Of course you are correct.
