Get a 1080

if prices drop

if prices drop

Better yet, snag one on second hand sale somewhere. There are going to be people upgrading now. That's how I usually roll. Sold my 780ti when 1080 was priced competitively (it wasn't long, but it happened somewhere in between pascal launch and mining taking off) and paid 220 EUR on top = happy camper And I paid just 260 eur for that 780ti back in the day too. Great way to stay current

The main benefit I see from these is that I would expect 4k gaming to finally be a smooth 60fps (minus poorly coded/optimized games). Below that, a 1080 will run anything maxxed at less than 4k smooth as silk without sweating.

The challenge for Nvidia this series is going to be convincing owners that if they upgrade this is one of those gens that's really going to require a likely expensive 4k/g-sync/etc. monitor upgrade too in order to really take advantage of it. Otherwise a 1080 or maybe 1070 will more than handle 2k or less resolution. I know it's often the case that monitor and vc upgrades go hand-in-hand, but I guess what I'm saying is this is a gen where it is more necessary than usual.

well pretty much pre release hype to help insure your money is burning a big hole in your pocket [whats new there ? ] then all the suckers buy it at a inflated prices , then install it to come back here with the ''this new card don't seem to do any better if at all over my old card '' whine .

in the end its they got your cash and you got there card . one thing with reviews benches like here there kinda misleading - like say the evga 1080 ssc shows better then the 980ti but notice the test bed and tests and the 980ti used as the example . most times it the first reference card used vs, the aftermarket card or not the same benchmark used or if so the 80 ti was tested with 8x aa and the 1080 was not and so on.

dude you got to take all the reviews as sales hype and with a grain of salt and read then between the lines .

I hope to God they add that beautiful RGB backplate and make it fit popular motherboards like the ASUS Maximus X Apex.

God I hope they make Galax RTX with RGB plate that fits elite motherboards like Asus Maximus X Apex. (Like 1080 white and 1070 white but thinner). That minimalistic RGB plate is awesome.
