hey nerds! the offspring is looking for a new graphics card for their gaming rig so they can play latest shiny stuff!

with GPU shitcoin mining having been condemned to hell where it belongs, i understand that prices are in the realm of sanity now.

nvidia or amd is fine, just as long as it's the good stuff. a generation behind the latest is fine.

so what's good in the UK for a windows 10 gaming rig this week?

(plz boost, the more suggestions the better. think of the gamer children.)

UPDATE: we're probably going for a 3060, there's some damn fine deals and it should be able to deal with the hipness for a few years yet.

Intel Arc GPUs should be great value

@michael still finding it hard to believe intel finally worked out how to make an acceptable gaming gpu

Yeah, it’s a bit of a gamble. All reviews say it’s good hardware with subpar but workable drivers at a genuinely great price. If you need higher end, I’d wait for the new AMDs, though.
