I'm looking to build a new PC for gaming at 1440p and 3D modeling, and I've seen the RTX 4070 Super prices drop lately here in Brazil. But I'm unsure if it's worth grabbing now or if it'll go down even more in the coming months.
The RTX 4070 Super is at a good price point right now. For 1440p and 3D it's more than enough, and GPU prices in Brazil have dropped but tend to stabilize rather than fall much further. If some crazy sale came up it might drop another 5-10% maybe, but there's no guarantee. The longer you wait, the more risk you run of seeing the price go back up or the card going out of stock.
The timing really depends on how much money you have left over and whether you're willing to go without the machine. If it's on sale now and the price is within what you planned to spend, I'd pull the trigger. These GPU discount spikes don't last very long around here. After that it's easier to regret waiting than to regret buying it "expensive".
Are you thinking about buying it now or do you want to wait and see if the price drops more before you build your setup?
The thing is, GPU prices in Brazil are pretty unpredictable. It could go down a bit more, but it could also stay at this level or even go up if there's a stock shortage. What's different is that the 4070 Super has probably been on the market for a few months now, so you won't see the kind of price swings that happen right after launch. If you're already wanting to build your PC now, I don't recommend waiting around for months hoping for a drop that might never come - the performance gains you'd get from gaming over the next few months are worth more than saving a few reais.
The other thing to consider is whether there's really nothing newer that's worth it. Graphics cards are always evolving, but if the 4070 Super is hitting your goal of 1440p with high quality and handles 3D modeling well (which seems to be the case), get it now and enjoy it. Just don't buy in a panic - compare prices on like 3 or 4 sites before you buy, because the difference between stores here is huge.
The sad part is that in Brazil GPU prices tend to spike fast when stock runs out, but they come down at a painfully slow pace. If it's at a decent price right now, I'd say grab it, because betting on a bigger drop is risky - you could get an import shortage or some random price hike and end up paying more than you're paying today.
For 1440p with 3D, the 4070 Super already handles things pretty well, so it's not like you'd be buying something that's gonna be outdated in a few months.
If you need to build your PC soon or can wait a few more months? Because honestly, the 4070 Super is at a pretty reasonable price point for anyone wanting 1440p with max settings, and waiting indefinitely for a bigger price drop is kind of risky - in Brazil GPU prices are so volatile they could go back up before dropping again. If you need it now, buy it guilt-free; if you can wait until Black Friday or end of year, then you can try to find something a bit better.
