Discussion: Wait or buy Videocards?

[IcEWoLF]

Might as well wait until the 1080 and 1070 benchmarks are out which should be sometimes next week.
Once those benchmarks are out and people start selling their current cards the price will drop drastically.
Expect to get a great deal on a used 980gtx ti by the end of the month, or even a 970gtx might drop in price further.

I talked with FUzion on FB and hes saying I should upgrade my system at this point. My other friend says he thinks that my current cpu will bottle neck a new graphics card.

Wait for the 10xx series, it would be foolish not to. Video card prices don't really drop when new ones come out, except for the used cards. I had to chance to check out the 1080 at the Geforce event in Austin, TX last week and it's impressive.

Sadly my brother no longer works in the game industry so getting an invite to E3 is hard

That's about the going rate for a normal Titan. The lowest I've seen a Titan X go for is $550 and the guy really needed money. My Asus went for $775 and my EVGA with waterblock went for $850 a few weeks back

Hmmm Isnt the 1070 supposed to be comparable to the titan? If it is thats way to high.
