Dodge the scalpers and buy an older, higher-end GPU instead
Why pay more for a worse GPU?

The current GPU landscape is a rather grim one. While GPU prices are slowly starting to fall for the cards underneath their flagship big brothers, it's still incredibly difficult to find a reasonable price on a new graphics card in 2025. While you could settle for a lower-powered card that's from the newest generation, the alternative is to dodge scalpers altogether, and grab a card from a previous GPU release.
