Oh yeah, definitely! And I can give you an example. I actually have an R9 280x and I started to play the game Journey and had lots of stutter even on medium and even low settings. That on a 2nd gen Ryzen 3. Then I upgraded to a Ryzen 7 5800x and now the game runs perfectly on highest settings...
This shows how complex the market is right now. Third factor: energy prices might go way up. Going back to the main topic, my argument is that due to multiple factors it seems more likely that graphics cards prices might go down even more in the following months, even way more than expected and...
What you're saying is also true. But for instance at a seller I'm currently following there's been stock for quite a while for quite a few models, and there's been some moderate price drops but not much. And I think AMD announced they are increasing the msrp in the near future by 10%. I know...
Scalping seems more like a fringe phenomenon to me, and tough we had that at the start and still have it to some extent, the question is of supply and demand, so the whole market has changed for now. Also, I would guess that prices once they go up tend to stay up unless some big changes drive...
I think some unpredictable things might happen as well. By this I mean government regulations might drive crypto prices down. This has happened before in history to currencies: the government steps in and all at once you lose a lot of money. I think it's highly unlikely that things will stay the...
I'm pretty content with the LED ASUS Gaming TUF VG249Q 23.8 inch 1 ms FreeSync 144Hz. It has a good stand that can go up and down and rotate and a thin bezel. Backlight bleed has gotten slightly worse over time, but overall I'm satisfied with it.
I think it pays to wait a bit longer if you can, you might get a pleasant surprise in the coming months. I'd say your best current options are the RTX 3060TI or the Radeon RX 6600 XT, the former being slightly better. The only risk is even bigger shortages, but personally I think it's best to be...
It depends on how crypto goes. My guess is that we'll se a large crypto drop this coming year because of government regulations. Let's say Bitcoin goes bust, then the confidence in crypto overall goes down, then there's a lot of graphics cards... On the other hand, if this doesn't happen...
I think it's better if you keep the original heatsink. If you prefer the aesthetics of your mobo heatsink, you can remove the original one and it should be good enough anyway. In some cases, you won't be able to use the original heatsink from the ssd anyway because of the graphics card.
