GTX 8-serie?

[k0enf0rNL]

i want to get a new pc in 2 months(i need to save some more money) i want to get the 780 but should i wait for the 8 series to get a new architecture or buy the 780? and do you think the 880 will be more expansive than the 780?

[miyabwah]

just buy the 780. And of course, the 880 will be more expensive than the 780.

You should wait for the 880 at lest because the 780 should drop in price.

[Butterfish]

Of course the 880 is going to be more expensive than the 780. If you are getting it in 2 months, then why are you asking us now? Wait and see if Maxwell releases.

Not always true. If he can wait the 870 should be the 780 and cheaper with maybe a few less cuda cores.

well, 680s are still working well today, so 780 should be the same later on, and ive you are like me and stay with s specific game, then you wont need to go with 880 either

[k0enf0rNL]

laptop 8-series is already confirmed for Q1 2014 and mobile will come in Q2 2014. i know the 880 is going to be more expansive but will it be like titan expansive or more like 780ti?

how is your 9800GT keeping up with the newest games?

If you're not building for two months, I would just wait and see what's available then.. If the 880 is out and looks like a good deal, buy one.. If the 880 isn't a good price, the 780 isn't a bad option.

 

It doesn't make sense to make this decision now..

if they release it in 2 months then linus would review it. if there isn't any further information about the release and quality i will buy the 780 i think.

how old is that card? like 7 years now?

about right, but "only" 6 years

I bought one in 2010... now its kinda half dead.

i hope the 780 is just as good. i want to use it for like 5 years and probably buy a second 780 in december. depends if it performs better then the 880 on its own. i hope so. what do you think will be the first thing i need to upgrade? DDR3 to DDR4? or the GPU?

in 2 months hopefully more news about the 800 series will be out. If it is then wait but if no news or anything has come out then a 780 will be great

[Geekazoid]

@k0enf0rNL, don't mean to be picky, but you seemed to have left the 's' out at the end of 'Series'. So you've got 'GTX 8 Serie' instead of 'GTX 8 Series'. Just thought I would point that out.

FYI - You are able to edit your titles and fix them.

what irks me to no end is this mining business!  Now that nvidia cards are also a viable solution for mining, we'll see inflated prices across the board.  I guess the time for affordable gpu's are permanently over because I don't

see this virtua mining crap be over any time soon.

It should be ok for 5 years, but one 780 wont outperform a 780, because ive it does, then the 800 series would be senceless. but upgradw whise, it depends on how much ram you already have, since ive you buy one 780, and another one in december you should be set for a good while anyways, youd just not have the fancy name of a 800 series card. so asumin you will buy a motherboard with 4 ram slots, and then you get 2x4GB or 2x8GB, you can always just but more when you need. DDR4 wont be usefull for a while id say, since it will cost a lot, and game engines havent even maxed out on DDR3, since games just need 8GB.

thanks for your helpfull reply. i ment to say when i get 2 780's running in SLI and compare them to the 880 and the 880 will outperform the 2 780's then i will wait with my second 780 and instead replace the 780 for a 880 in about 1,5 - 2 years.

You should see what's out/announced in 2 months. Right now it's a shot in the dark.
