#plus i got my gpu hella cheaper than it was online bc i went to the actual store and the guy that works there helped a lott

[naturally-dazed]

as someone who was completely (almost) not paying attention to the gpu market at all until 2 months ago when i suddenly needed to get something new, but im still in the rabbithole of watching benchmarks and reviews for fun now - the impression im getting is that when deciding on buying one:

the high end gpu releases first (which i didnt know), most people cant afford it, everyone waits for the less expensive ones in the series (talking about nvidia)

the other ones get released, they're still expensive, performance not worth the price, wait for other versions?

then ti super duper uber different but the same gpus get released, prices go down a bit, time to get one! but wait, no no dont get one now - wait for the 5000 series its coming soon

wait for the 5000 series to get cheaper, wait for the other variations of the gpus to be released, wait for benchmarks and reviews, wait AMD is cooking but no they're not ha ha raytracing, but are they? but will they? but wont they?

repeat cycle

did i get it right is this how people function nowadays lol i really feel like all this waiting is stupid like, get what you can when you need it - if a year later you find a reason to get something new then sell what you got to cover most of the price? am i wrong here? its what i did and i dont feel like im going to want anything new for at least 3-4 years anyways
