ve been kind of out of the loop for some time. I'm looking to upgrade my GPU, and AMD seems to be the best option price wise, but the 7000 series cards offer the same performance as their predecessors. I'm thinking that next gen will be much better performance wise, but I'm not sure how long it will take for them to arrive.
Between 5000 and 6000 there was 1 year, between 6000 and 7000 3 years, and there's rumors now that the 8000 series gpus could launch by the end of this year. I think I will wait till then.
Is the reason for it the chip shortage?
