I’m not really in the habit of telling people not to buy graphics cards, as I firmly believe there’s a GPU for everyone out there. But, with new-gen GPUs poised to be released by 2025, and prices on current-gen models refusing to budge to a price I’m satisfied with, recommending a specific card right now is a struggle.
It feels like the best graphics card options have been allergic to discounts for a while. Perhaps that’s a symptom of the long stint of inflated prices we had to deal with a few years ago, which made grabbing a GPU at MSRP near impossible. We’re absolutely in a better place since that fiasco, especially with the crypto mining craze done and dusted, but I can’t help but feel card makers could do more when it comes to deals.
