3070ti later or 3070 now?

[Consul]

Is it worth waiting for the 3070ti (looking at its rumored specs) or should I just buy an ASUS TUF 3070 OC whenever its available?

 

My specs: i7 8700k, 16 GB DDR4, 1060 6GB, 1080p monitor

If this rumors really true, by the time it's available, it would be out of stocks and you have to wait another 3 months to get your hand on one.

so i guess get anything that's available now.

I haven't kept my self updated during the last month so correct me if I am wrong but 3070ti is still not confirmed by Nvidia right ?

Before any release of 3070ti they will be releasing RTX 3060.

What I am saying is that I believe it will probably be half a year before any possible release of 3070ti

 

The latest tech will always be replaced by something better so there is no reason to wait forever. 

Even if you wait for 3070ti it will most likely be replaced by a new GPU after 1 year so you can't always wait for the next gen products.

Seems like I'll be going with the 3070 whenever it's available then, thanks for the answers!

yes, waiting is a cat and mouse game, it will never end.

once the 3070ti launched, you probably want a 3070super.

i'm sure they will prioritize on making the lower end 3060 possible before AMD have their version for this market.

I'm in a similar boat with the 3060 Ti and 3060. Do I go for the Ti coming out in a week from now or wait and see how the 3060 plain performs with the rumoured more VRAM. I'd be inclined to wait if it weren't for the everpresent stock shortage meaning that I'm very unlikely to get one if I don't jump on it at launch.

better a 3070 now (now meaning in the next 4 months) than a _supposed_ 3070Ti later (a year at best? ) IMHO

depends on how long you want to wait

 

with a bunch of next gen games coming out in Q4 I personally wouldn't want to "wait" but that's just me.

of course, but it depends on the time frame obviously, wait 3-6 months for a vastly superior product or get whatever is "available" now? 

 

I think it'd be well worth the wait. 

 

However that's not how nvidia plays ball, they want people to double, and best triple dip...

I do agree that it is sometimes worth to wait a little bit.

But Nvidia haven't confirmed anything yet it will probably more than 3-6 months.
