With new graphics cards arriving shortly from AMD, Nvidia, and Intel, you might be in the market for an upgrade. Don't make these mistakes.
This story is part of Jacob Roach's ReSpec series, covering the world of PC gaming and hardware. We’re on the brink of a new generation of graphics cards . AMD, Nvidia, and even Intel have all hinted that we’ll see new graphics cards this year, and if you’ve been sitting on your GPU for a while, you’ll probably be eyeing an upgrade.
The aforementioned RX 7700 XT and RX 7800 XT are a prime example of that. AMD released these two graphics cards at the same time for $450 and $500, respectively, despite the fact that the RX 7700 XT was much slower. And now, months away from launch, you can commonly find the RX 7700 XT for around $370 while the RX 7800 XT has held steady at $500. If you bought the RX 7700 XT right away, you got a bad deal.
There isn’t an answer for a card as monstrous as the RTX 4090 this generation, and in the previous generation, when AMD could match the RTX 3090, Nvidia went out and released an RTX 3090 Ti. These halo products, as they’re called, aren’t in the conversation for most PC gamers. But they set the tone for who’s in the lead when it comes to raw performance.
With CPUs, there’s a reason to stick with Intel or AMD. We’re seeing both brands release multiple generations on the same socket, so investing in a platform gives you, well, a platform for future upgrades. The same isn’t true with GPUs. The worst thing that can happen when swapping brands is that you choose to swap back on your next upgrade.
You’ll get a performance boost, but the same money will take you further if you wait for the following generation. This particularly happens with newer PC gamers, who decide they want something more powerful after seeing what PC gaming has to offer. If you upgrade within the same generation, you’re basically guaranteeing you won’t upgrade in the following generation — assuming you don’t have endless disposable income.
