Student here, moving to Germany for my masters around Aug/Sept and I am from Pakistan. I have been using my 2080-Ti for a good 7 years now and need an upgrade.

My concern is considering the current market due to RAM and price hikes, should I purchase the card in Pakistan now and just bring it with me or wait for 5-6 months and buy it in Germany? I believe if the GPU is bought in Pakistan, RMA won’t be applicable in EU.

Deal I am getting is 770$ for a Sapphire Pulse 9070 XT. My current setup will be listed, it’s 7 years old. I am going to be selling the rest of rig when I am moving and just keep the 9070 XT to take with me to Germany in case I end up buying it from here in Pakistan:
