Unless you want Raytracing right now and can't afford a 4090, there's an easy solution: Buy an AMD GPU. And you'll get much more rasterization performance than you'd get with any even just somewhat similarly-priced NVidia GPU to boot. |
Yea any buyers looking for sub $600, I have been largely recommending RDNA 2 as you can typically get a 6800XT for the price of a 3070. For $700-$800sh price class, I have been suggesting 3080 12GB or if possible, 3080 Ti but from what I have seen, the less expensive models of those are largely going out of stock in various places and only the more expensive models are in stock. Anything that's $900sh or higher, I have been suggesting to wait for RDNA 3 unless they are shopping in the 4090 class. (In USD that is)
But overall, it doesn't really matter what we say though. The market seems to want Nvidia regardless of price of value. We have seen Nvidia gain 88% market share in GPU shipments. Hardware unboxed reports that 3080 and above Ampere GPUs are going out of stock and now we see the second hand market for Nvidia GPUs starting to go up in price. Nvidia GPUs have essentially transitioned from gaming focused to content creators, streamers, miners, Ai research along with gamers and such. It sucks though because if priced competitively, Nvidia GPUs would have been the easy recommendation but now, that's no longer the case.
