So, i am just about to buy an rx 580,but holy gaben the prices skyrocket because of cryptocurrency miners.

So should i buy gtx 1050ti now, and sell it later
Or just wait until the rx cards prices go down.
If i should wait for the rx cards prices to go down, when are they going to be at a normal price again?
Thanks.

It's good enough for medium to high in newer AAA titles now, so it will only get worse as time goes on. If you're ok with getting slightly less than 60 fps on low or medium in games that come out in 3 years or so then I guess it's fine.
They probably won't come down for a while, might want to consider getting a used GTX 970/980 locally or on ebay. 970 is probably a better deal because you can pick them up for like 60% of the price of a 980 and it's not THAT much slower. The graphics card market sucks right now, if you'll be ok with a 1050 ti then there's nothing wrong with it but if you need more power then you might want to look for a Maxwell card.

I dunno, the 980 and 970 in my country is still expensive, and another problem is that i have a freesync monitor, so it would be more worth it to use rx cards.

So, is the gtx 1050ti worth it for 1080p gaming? I'm probably not going to upgrade my pc for 3 years or so, would 1050ti be sufficient?

I already tried playing games in low settings, and some games looks really bad on low settings, so i guess I'll be waiting until the prices go down, thanks anyway.
