tbh, what kind of rig are you currently running? Like, are you planning on doing the install yourself or taking it to a shop for the upgrade? ngl, I always tell people to go the DIY route because it's way more rewarding and you save a ton on labor fees. If you’re worried about the price, I’d say just go with ASUS, you basically can't go wrong with their stuff. I think? Not 100% sure when the big drop is coming exactly, but if you handle the self-service side of things, you can usually find better deals on individual parts anyway. Just get any card from a solid brand like that and do the swap at home. Are you comfortable messing with the hardware yourself or are you looking for a full professional service?
Later this year.
Maybe at Black Friday 2025.
