Might buy you some time but when does the waiting for price normalisation end? Everyone was expecting this gen 2022 but now it’s been pushed back to 2025- I’m not sure we are going to get amazing price reductions for leaps in performance as we are all expecting.
It might be better just to live in the now and purchase something you can afford that’ll give you enjoyment for a few years- 6950xt or 7900xt or 4070ti pick your poison
I feel you, I'm on a RX590
In my case I'm waiting to move home then I'll get a 100% new rig... My GPU budget is 600€ and I'll buy the best I can buy for that.Might buy you some time but when does the waiting for price normalisation end?

You’ll get a 6950xt/7800/possible 7900xt for that budget in a few months.
With discounts got my brand new unused 7900xt for £665 from elsewhere in April. Sad to see prices pushed back up to £800.

I'd be perfectly happy with a 6950xt if I bought today TBH, I'd be more than doubling performance.
its a gpu that gives you more than high end gaming performance, also doubles as central heating in the cold months
if it wasnt for the pwr draw i would indulge 
I have a 300W card... Not much of a difference especially as it will be most likely coupled with a 13700k.its a gpu that gives you more than high end gaming performance, also doubles as central heating in the cold months
a great card for the price,but when i see 500w+ pwr draw when overclocked it put me off, thats neark 3 times my 3070 under a curve. and its a gpu so rude not to oc
I'm weird I guess, I never tried to seriously overclock aside from when I made my HD 7970 into the GHZ editiona great card for the price,but when i see 500w+ pwr draw when overclocked it put me off, thats neark 3 times my 3070 under a curve. and its a gpu so rude not to oc
ah now there's a blast from the past, i always undervolt/overclock, though nothing too stressful.
It's perhaps the card I have the fondest memories of, aside from my old Matrox Mistique/Voodoo 2 combo.
indeed i had experience of matrox cards as well as the voodoos, also i had a tnt card, off hand cant remember who made it, memory starts to fade over 50
I'm with you on the ripoff Britain comment but on the other hand people in Britain seem to want or dont care about being ripped off going by the sold prices on that auction site for sold used 7900 XTX's people seem happy to pay around £100 less than the cards are brand new on here. Higher than the Aussie price equivalent.
The second hand market will give a good indication of what the market will bear as I'm sure its taken into account when it comes to new product launches as why would AMD/Intel and Nvidia drop prices when people are happy to pay so close to new, used. I think the 4070 hit the market at around the price of what people where paying for a new/used 3080's and the recent 4060 hit the £300 mark people where paying near this price for a 3060 12GB used a few months ago when they was around £320 new.
Oh I forgot to add as its something spend a couple of hundred and losing out of it but imagine losing over £800 for a 7900 XTX someone bought used because they didnt spend the extra £100 and then get their warranty claim denied due to not being the original owner.
GPU's are already lagging as 5nm has been available since 2020 but in reality it wouldn't hurt to use 6nm for the 4070 down, a larger die with a bigger bus would likely perform much better than the trash they are peddling on 5NM.
Leading edge is almost completely owned by Apple. 2nd tier is where datacenter, other smartphones and GPU compete.
What is likely to happen is that consumer GPUs will get shifted down another tier so 5nm with minor optimizations might last 2/3 gens.

Might not be true but we dont need more reasons to pay higher prices..
The good news keeps piling on...

The second-hand market is completely broken right now. I saw a second-hand 6800 XT going for £485 + £10 delivery on eBay the other day, while the exact same model was £499 here on OC.

I sold an old Lian Li PC60 case recently and I expected to get no more than about 20-30 quid max, ended up going for a bit over 120, thought it was a scammer until the guy paid for it only a couple of hours later.
