Its $535 with the Mail in Rebate of $50.
I think this is totally worth it.
Or should I just wait another month or two to see if prices drop?
I think this is the top of the line video card from Gigabyte.

April isn't over. I would wait for the prices to drop a little more

True but I think they will start running out of inventory for the good gtx ti cards...Thats a concern.

I went ahead and bought this:

$535 with rebate. Can't beat this deal.
Plus my 480 gtx ti is falling apart...running at 100% and temps over 100c even on light gameplay..

True, but I couldn't wait and I am not going to drop $600 on a 1080 pascal.
The Ti model proved to be really good, if anything I can see a 5%-10% increase in performance between the Ti and the 1080.
Plus when they come out they will be on reference models, so the good ones with the upgraded cooling will not come out for another few months, and we all know the prices are gonna be jacked up.

The MSI golden doesn't even kick the fans on lol...the fans only turn on when I play games, otherwise the card is dead cool.
Its nice to see my room temperature doesn't change anymore when I turn my computer on. hehe.

Well tbh, this new card is the next big jump, like back in 2006 so this was the year to wait, if any.
