Should I wait for VEGA 56 or buy cheap graphic board today?

[noobee]

Should I:

1. Wait for VEGA and buy when it is released in less than two weeks?

2. Buy a cheap VGA today like 1050 Ti or 560, and buy vega when it got released?

3. Buy a good VGA like 1070 or 1060 or 580 or 570 and screw vega it's too expensive and performance is untested anyway.

Buy a 1050 ti and wait for Volta. It's only 6-8 months away.

Personally, I'd be patient and buy Vega 56 in two weeks when it comes out. According to some leaks it will apparently be near/at 1080 performance for 1070 price, plus the prices won't be inflated by mining. If you keep waiting for platforms, you will be waiting until the end of time.

Do you think it will be released in all countries in 14th August? I'm located in Japan now.

Actually, I'm not a fan of NVIDIA after I watched this video:

Even if it is released soon I would not expect them to be easily available until around October, the AMD Fury cards and GTX 1080s were scarce on launch

That might be true!

I would wait for Vega and check the 10xx series for a price drop. . . but I'm cheap

I don't have much of a way of knowing. You could try calling around local PC component retailers.

That is totally irrelevant. Can you even explain what any of what was said in that video means? Because I could find you similar videos for AMD.

That's about driver/kernel support for Linux. It has no actual bearing on performance, especially in Windows of all operating systems.

I'm thinking to use Linux on my new build. So maybe it's not good if I get an NVIDIA board. So probably it's better to wait for VEGA?

Can I see the similar videos for AMD?

Why linux, it's GPU optimisation is pretty poor on both sides of the fence

If you're getting a temporary card, buy something used.

 

You'll be able to sell it for close to what you paid for it.

because windows is too expensive.. more than $100 for an OS? It's the only OS that comes with a price today. and the editions, Home, Pro, etc, confuse me for which one to get.

That's if I use NVIDIA I suppose? as the creator of linux hates NVIDIA look at the video I posted a while ago.

No as far as I remember AMDs performance is considerably worse then on as well as Nvidia

Porn machine? Like a computer that was used to watch porn?

Why would that matter?  Videocards aren't capable of being used to store data that could go from one computer to another.

I mean if you're into being part of the PCMR, you're going to forever face the struggle of aging parts. If you wait for Volta, I'm sure something else will be announced to come out later and so on. I'd just get something, sit on it until volta comes out and go from there if you really want.

yes, there are a lot of 3D porn games these days. I got those ads a lot on my Google Chrome, and closed them all right away when I saw them.
