[SOLVED] Should I wait?

I want to get a Redeon RX 6800XT or even a RX 6700XT but with current shortages and over pricing I feel its better to wait for prices to go down. My question is will the RX 580 work for Battlefield 2042? Will it allow me to play the game for now until I can get a new video card? Thank you

If i were you and cares alot on spending on such a thing, i would patiently wait till it drops real hard, like how 570s and 580s dropped to dirt cheap as low as $85 (at least in my country, but now ramped up to more than $345 cause cryptocurrency hype craze)

My question is will the RX 580 work for Battlefield 2042?

it will able to play the game, just dont worry much about it

Far as I am aware there are no official system requirements yet to even have an idea of what to expect. I would guess that a RX 580 should be enough for runing the game, Im not sure if it will run at your desire resolution, detail settings and FPS.

In any case I would first worry about your PSU, Can your current PSU power the RX-6700XT/6800XT?

Thank you all, I have been all over the internet looking for system requirements for Battlefield 2042. Some sites you enter your computer components and it will tell you if you can run the game. On the EA site there are no system requirements says coming soon. I think I will be ok, I play Black ops cold war with the card but settings are on high. I will just need to tweak the setting for Battlefield 2042. I'm not paying the insane over pricing on video cards right now. Thinking its going to be around 6 to 8 months before pricing gets close to MSRP.

You have till october 22 for the launch, and by that time GPU price may be lower and with some luck a bit closer to MSRP (I hope) .

As for the PSU without knowing the model is kinda hard to know if its a good unit.
