Just don’t buy a new card unless you really need to.
I bought a 3080 because that gen seemed like a pretty solid bump in performance for the price. The new Nvidia gen is underwhelming so just wait.
Or if you really need one now buy a 30 or 40 series card.
This is the way. Have a 3090, 980ti before that. Really no need to get anything new yet.
Similar for me too, had a 980ti and then got a 6800xt a few years ago and I'm fine until about 2030 probably
I got a 3070ti but my old one was something like a 780? I don't remember exactly. Before that I had a Radeon 5970. That's an upgrade roughly every 7 years I guess.
I waited like 6 months to get a 5080.
Im glad I waited, now I can get a 4080 for a good price.
That's fair. I'm on an all AMD system with no need to change, tbh. 7800XT.
