Sorry if It is a repost, however I still have undecided and new rumours have came out on ampere but I am getting impatient. Late july I am expected to buy my dream card, the RTX2060 for £300 ($370). I wanted to buy this card and move away from the GTX1050 for a long time and I finally managed to earn the money, however all my plans have changed since Nvidia Ampere came out. This steam summer sale I wanted to really buy Red Dead Redemption 2 however I don't know if I can wait longer, and obviously nobody knows when ampere will come out anyways. When it does come out, it will likely be the RTX3080 and 90 first or whatever they are called, therefore I don't consider purchasing them as I am limited to money and parts so the only thing which makes me wait for ampere is price drop. I will have the money for sure for the 2060 max, however it depends on the price drop on the 2060. Will the prices drop? By how much? Was there a time when for example the 2060 came out and the 1060 dropped in price? By how much? I will definitely not wait for the 3060 to come out however, if the price drops will be substantial for the 2060 then I will consider waiting and buying a higher end card such as the super variant or the rx5700/xt when rdna 2 comes out or even the 2070 depending on the price drops. Should I consider waiting or just buy and enjoy the games I dreamt of playing? My specifications:
Asus strix GTX1050 (2gb)
Corsair Vengeance 16GB @ 3200mhz
Ryzen 5 2600 (limiting factor if I was to buy a very high end card)
CX450 (yes I know, if I am to consider buying a higher end card than the 2060 then of course I will replace it)
b450m-a
I will be most likely playing at 60hz at 1080p and maybe consider buying a 144hz monitor around christmas however I still haven't decided
Please let me know as I am currently in a struggle. Thank you!
