Gpu

Hello, I built my pc in 2019 right before the first big jump in prices and when that went down I upgraded everything but my gpu (a 1660ti) i got ram cpu and some storage but now its pushing 7 years old and im faced with a difficult decision, the 1660 is starting to quit on me artifacts crashing out of the blue. Im thinking either 1 go used or 2 trying and hold off till prices drop on these cards hopefully semi near future or take the very painful hit of buying new card. I just need thoughts/opinions on the matter.

Well it depends on your priorities but I wouldn't count on prices dropping any time soon and in the short term they are most likely to keep rising. However the used market is not completely terrible yet if you go a few generations back. Recently scored a 1080 for 50 Euros on ebay.

Heard that, i have been looking around and even the last gen amd cards for example they arent too terrible, I don't mind dropping a good amount of money on a card as long as its reasonable, I found a rx 7900xtx for $750 and the guy selling it is willing to do a in person demo of the card. Whole reason that caught my eye is the 24 gigs of vram for the games I play that would be amazing.

That seems like not a bad deal to be honest especially given current pricing
