It's the holiday shopping season, and that means many of you are likely considering a new graphics card purchase – perhaps at a discount or as an upgrade to play the latest games, like Stalker 2, because your current GPU isn't cutting it anymore. You've come to the right place, as this article is all about GPU recommendations, or not...

The answer is, quite clearly, no – you should not buy a graphics card right now.
