If you’re considering buying for GPU conversion purposes:
- 3 month code ends up being $12.89/mo
- 12 month code ends up being $13/mo
So a bit better than retail, but nothing remarkable. Unless you need it short-term, probably best to keep an eye out for stacked sales/coupons at Eneba or CDKeys. Last August, I extended my GPU to 2026 for $4.35/mo with Eneba codes. I don’t think that’s really in play with the recent price increases, but I’d still be targeting <$10/mo.
This is true, unless you let the subscription lapse. In which case this is a cheaper option. The conversion is 3:2 when you upgrade from core to ultimate. So 3 years of core will convert to 2 years of ultimate. I don’t do math good, but I think that comes out to about $6.50 a month for 2 years of GPU in this case.
This is slightly cheaper (for 12 months) than the price at your local warehouse club, but only by a dollar or two. Typically you see those go down to $45 or $50 at the holidays.
