The 47 Ronin
Hey guys I'm looking to upgrade my ASUS ROG 5870 Video card i bought 6~ years ago, and with the announcement of the new 1080 and 1070 cards, Card prices be dropping. The EVGA 970 just dropped in price from $329~ to $255 (micro center) and im hella tempted to walk over to frys and pricematch that shit

What are your guys thoughts on buying videocard's during announcements?

Would you:
  • Buy the former upper rev?
  • wait for prices for price drop to go down any more than they are currently?
  • Immediately buy 1st rev of the new annouced video cards
  • or wait till the 2nd or 3rd revision of the new cards to come out?
 
Wait 2 days to a week after the 1070's release in june and the customer boards will be coming out. They will be doubling the performance of vr and you will be a huge difference in performance all around in the new architecture they built into this card. I will surely wait and get the 379$ model of the 1070 when it releases, don't buy the founders edition.

Basically, if I wait out the initial release a bit, it would be a good time to commission @Hunter to build my new rig :p

yeah it'll save you about 100$ on a new gpu and get you a better card..

Generally speaking the card overall itself every business* like asus and evga cards are going to look sick, just look at the Zotac ones that just got announced.. lol
