When to buy new GPU?

[LukieBoy007]

Hi,

I haven't been paying much attention to what is going on in the GPU world right now (especially after seeing the massively increased prices for the RTX line), and I am after an upgrade from my GTX970.

Looking at a 1070ti, when would be the best time to buy (either new or secondhand I don't mind too much)? Is there any other launch coming up that may change prices, or should I wait for Black Friday etc.?

I game at 1440p and it will be paired with a i5 3570k at 4.5GHz.

Cheers.

Many stores drop prices during this time since it's the end of the fiscal tax year. Companies want to clear and liquidate old stock.

I very much doubt 1080ti being in stock then

If you don't mind a walk on the wild side and like playing with settings the vega 56 is cracking value at the moment. On this OC board the support is great.

He said he's looking at a 1070 Ti though

@LukieBoy007
If you want to buy now look at used 1080 Ti for £450 on the MM.

Haven't seen these prices anywhere, is this on the MM sometimes?

Sorry, I haven't seen much on the Vega range. What do you mean by playing with the settings?

I'll keep an eye on the MM, although £450 will be stretching, will probably look for a 1070ti/1080 instead.

second hand 1080 for around £350 or push for a Ti as it will last you longer
