Supplies of all kinds are low, not just graphics cards. Don't know what to suggest.
Pre-Ordered Odyssey Alpha.. No Descent Graphics Card Available

I play Elite pretty much with maxed out graphics on an old GeForce GTX 760. Which is like a super old upper midrange model back in 2015. Based on the meh graphics we saw in the Odyssey video - I wouldn't be too concerned about needing a new GPU anytime soon.
Yea the GPU is the only thing I need for my new gaming rig. I have a Reverb G2 collecting dust cuz my main system is only running a GTX980ti which is fine for the Rift S but not for that resource sucking headset. Funny thing is I upgraded to the 970 specifically for Fallout 4 and at that time GPU's were everywhere.
I have a 3070 on order but am keeping tabs on anything else that hits the market that would work too. The next gen processors will probably be out before GPUs are available again.

I run it on a lappy with a GTX 1650, in space i generally bounce off the 144hz refresh rate of the monitor. At stations and planets I'm almost always above the 60fps mark without any difficulties.
A desktop one (especially the "super" version) will perform better than that. I guess decent, depends on what you want to do with it.

Stuck with a RX 5700 XT, been trying for ages to get a RTX 3080/RX 6800 XT and Xbox Series X.
So we can blame the orange gorilla?When it comes to graphics cards, it's because of this news
If you really need a new card, just buy a decent new card, because i don't expect the situation to change for a while.
There are plenty of decent cards in stock. Just the really high end stuff that is limited. At least where i am.

This is good advice. If your main focus is Elite, you dont need the newest card. My 1050ti isnt a problem with most settings on Ultra, AA on and SS on - it cost me 10% (or less) of the price of some of the newer cards
1st world problems.
...and the PC Master race wonder why they get such bad press.
entitled much???
buy a last gen console for a fraction of that figure and you can happily play Elite until the Autumn, when Elite-feet is rolled out for you.
Maybe the OP is from the Antipodes and is talking about $AUS?
I have a pretty reasonable PC and it comes nowhere near that price converted into $US...

Just get a old card like GTX1080 plenty around new and used.
Wish I had more graphics memory than with my 2x GTX 970 4GB SLI

Let's remember the dropped support for Apple users when Horizons has been released.
I'm not Apple user myself but requirements may change with expansions after all. Just sayin'.
Aye but that was because Apple was being a bit of a gentleman sausage and decided it wanted to go its own way and block other Cross platform API's namely the one that ED is built on, OpenGL.
Buy a console. I'm sure you could pick up a cheap PS4 or Xbox one.
(or just game on Geforce Now and have Nvidia do the legwork for you... )
