I'm wondering when the best time to buy a GPU in 2023 would be. With all the uncertainty around pricing and availability, I'm looking for some solid advice on timing my purchase. Have the trends changed since last year?

It seems like recent years haven’t been great for buying GPUs. Nvidia isn’t making older models to focus more on AI, so their prices stay high. AMD doesn’t have many GPUs out either since they’re busy with consoles. If you need one from AMD, look for bundles with games; you can score around $120-140 off!
If you're in the US, it feels pretty hit or miss right now due to constant tariff updates. Honestly, the PC hardware market feels pretty bleak overall. It's a gamble!
Every day at this point.
Honestly, the best time to grab a GPU was probably when the 9070xt launched — Microcenter was offering them at MSRP then, which is a rare find these days!
What if I don't care about the games? Is that still a valid discount?
