Datta boy! That’s the spirit....save £600 And watch a few box sets instead...then upgrade to new gen for little outlay...or time it wrong, lose a shedload of money instead....
It makes the new card taste so much sweeter...and of course you have been rewarded for operating basic self control and will power...
Good on you bro
A backup card can be any card that allows you to use your pc ...if you can’t not game or turn some settings down for a few weeks then your a spoilt brat mummies boy
Continuing to game on a card that you've been happy with for months/years seems a long way off the definition of spoilt. You've only dun goofed if you were definitely going to sell up for the new gen and you failed to do so on time.
Selling up, always buying new and shiny and telling others they have failed seems a little closer to the definition of a spoilt brat.

Very happy with my current 24gb cards, they are going nowhere any time soon.
My back up card is a Titan V but I don't think it will see much use.
I wonder how many more threads will appear bashing owners of high end cards.

That won't help reduce the games-to-be-played backlog.Take a walk, read a book, learn an instrument...My 15 year old nephew manages it...
So you are not going to buy a 3090?

Kaap this is exactly what happened during the 20 series launch. Every man and his dog created a thread covering the same subject, flooding the forum full of copy and paste comments.
The same is happening now with the 30 series. No doubt by the time the cards are actually available, we will once again have upwards of 20 threads for the 30 series cards
Sold my 2070 super in anticipation of the new cards a month ago, lost £60 which isn't bad considering I had it for almost a year
Nice!
It's quite funny how suddenly there is this depiction that all these 2080ti owners are now in fury with the 3000 announcements. I'm not one of them, I've had my card since launch and its had it use in that time and I never had any intention of selling it at any point. In fact I think it's great what the 3070/80 are offering. My plan was to give my 2080ti to my son to replace his 1080ti (which I also gave him), however after having a chat with him I'm going to get him a 3080 and I'll just box the 'old' cards up and get myself a 3090.
Good result for those that sold their cards to help fund their new 3000 series though.

I hope he’s getting it for Christmas....and your not just buying him a £650 GFX card for no reason?

It’s a bit different buying it launch though compared to paying over a grand a month ago or the like.

What does that matter? Can’t a father treat his son any more?

At least you had more sense to just throw money at a release, your upgrade will be perfect, enjoy fella!
There is a fine line between educating your son about the value of money and spoiling him...

That’s not for you to decide though is it?
My dad bought me a £1200 PC when I was 14, and I understand the value of money perfectly.
