Alienware, ibuypower, you know the crews I mean. Right now I've got a 1060 and I'd like to upgrade, but under the current market conditions it'd be more cost effective to buy an entire prebuilt PC just to get the video card. But as close as we are to a new generation I figure it's best just to wait. Especially if performance increases for the next generation are similar to past generations (i.e. benchmarks I read show a 1080 as better than a 980Ti, so in theory a 2080 will be at least slightly better than a 1080Ti).
Obviously, if the next gen releases to sane pricing I'd just get a 2080 and upgrade my current system. But if sane pricing doesn't come, my question is, do the prebuilt makers have their own supply line for GPUs or will they be affected too, and have to increase their own prices by the same huge amounts?
