Yo, so my situation is, 2 months back my beautiful perfect Evga GTX 1070 Ti died (TLDR: I was watching YouTube and bam, black screens and a weird burning smell, I don’t want to try to fix it :D) and I’m still waiting to buy a new GPU but the situation is insane with the market. I thought it would get better if I wait buuuuut :D

Basically, I can survive on only 7700X integrated graphics (as I did till today) but I feel like it puts a strain on the CPU (more heat etc.) and I waited enough BUT I still can wait… But also I don’t want to, I can’t play more than half of the games I played before, can’t edit in Davinci and Modelling in Fusion is not ideal.

So I just don’t know if to buy rn an overpriced GPU, or to wait if it gets better? :D

I was lookin at the 9070XT or 9070, they don’t look bad, but the prices in EU are well, interesting. 50 series is too expensive and If I would go for something, I would like atleast a 5070 Ti, I don’t like the idea of second hand but I could look into that and other Nvidia cards from 40 series arent stock in my country (CZ, only 4060 and 4060 Ti are in stock).

I would like any advice, for my situation, for the GPU stock or anything that would help, ideas, opinions,

my budget is about 20000 CZK (800 EUR, 865 USD). Thanks for anything.
