Is it a good time to buy a mid-range GPU in BD?

[occasional_gamer]

My current specs:

Motherboard: ASRock Z370 Extreme 4
CPU: CORE i5 8400
RAM: Team elite vulcan red 2x8 GB @3200 MHz (dual channel)
PSU: Antec NX550TW 550 Watt 80 PLUS Bronze
Display: LG 22mp68vq-p


I want to game on my 1080p monitor on high/max settings. I found that 1060 and 580 are both good cards. But since i have a free-synch enabled monitor i would like to go with amd 580. (though 580 is more power hungry than 1060 )

My question is, should i buy the gpu now, considering prices? If so which version should i go with?
I dont care much about noise/RGB. Aesthetics are optional. shops: startech/ucc/binarylogic

I dont intend to overclock the gpu, so i would prefer one that has higher clock speed out of the box.


PS: anyone has any idea about buying gpu in china? will i get lower prices or will it be same as BD (airport taxes etc) one of my colleague is going there.

it is a great time to buy a second hand gtx 1070 than buying a first hand 1060/580 . wait for the release of 2060 and others and then take any decision but buying a mid range gpu right now isnt a wise decision

No matter what we suggest, in the end, you will buy whatever Startech's salesmen suggest. #fact

You see, even uttering my name solved your problem.

No I didn't buy a 2080...yet.

I moved from Ryzen 1600 to 8700K. 2080 is being horribly priced in BD, if I get it closer to US price then I will consider getting one.

Chinese market tend to mostly sell from their own brands. I get that it's difficult to invalidate which one's more legit than the others, my advice would be to not to buy it from there though your mileage could vary. I do know a guy who ships stuff from Malaysia.

saw a video from linus couple of months ago most of the chinese knock offs are either OEMs with slightly lower clocked gpus but they performs completely fine just like the branded one
