Buyer's remorse might be setting in if you bought a GPU during the shortage, but out of all the times to overspend, it's been justified over the past two years.
Like many people, I bought a GPU at the height of the GPU shortage — August 2021. We were about a year separated from the start of the shortage, but GPU prices were still soaring with most cards selling for twice as much as list price . I’ve started to feel a little buyer’s remorse, and I’m not alone.
There’s always something new waiting in the wings, too. Although it’s true there are rare times it’s bad to build a PC, most of the time, you’re flanked by previous generations that are starting to date and next generations that promise to raise the bar for performance across the board. Buying in early means you don’t get the best value, but buy in too late, and you’ll be sitting on last-gen hardware within a few months.
The pandemic tax It’s no secret that demand for PCs grew massively throughout 2020 and into 2021, but gaming PCs, in particular, saw a larger growth in demand than PCs overall. We were locked inside, and even for people who don’t normally unwind with some games at night, the pandemic focused the conversation around online games where friends could spend time together, even if it was virtually.
