Chadatog Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 My 8 year old 770 finally bit the dust and I'm looking online for a GTX1060, GTX 1650, or a RX 570 and the prices from reputable sources are astounding. At these prices I might as well just get a 3060. It would be a severe bottle neck but I will eventually be upgrading my i5 3570K, motherboard, and memory later. Any input on not spending $300-$400 on a card that should cost $200. Also need to get a recommendation on a newer wifi card, just realized that the one I've been using is going on 10+ years.

dualhunter Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 If you can afford to replace the other stuff now, getting a pre-built PC is the easiest way to get a decent video card at a decent price. For Wi-Fi you can get a motherboard that comes with an antenna for both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. If you need something for Wi-Fi right away you can get a cheap USB adapter to use temporarily.

Fizzzzle Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Tell me about it, I have a 1070, which is selling for damn near what I paid for it 5 years ago, if not even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only I had a new card to replace it with Yea it's just unbelievable really. I could score a 3080 or 3080Ti at retail { Of course I know that's the problem } and then sell my Zotec Extreme 2080Ti for a 2k profit. That's very hard to imagine. Most likely just a few hundred over what I paid for it, but still wow! Thing is, after seeing the all unfold I'm just gonna wait for the 40 series. I can't be hunting down graphics cards and next gen consoles it's just not me, but it is so crazy to see the prices some are actually getting for even 1080ti's !

Dre801 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 I saw the 5700 XT I have somewhere going for like 1700. Freaking crazy. It would suck to want to do a new build right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
