[akiasmaka]

I am considering getting a new gpu this easter (orthodox easter ) are there going to be any releases soon ? should i wait 2 3 or even 4 months for new models if they come ? or buy now a new one i am considering something high end from nvidia side.

There wont be nvidia release soon. I recommend waiting for 390x

definitely wait until amd does their launch in a few months. even if you absolutely refuse to get an amd card, there is a real chance that the 980 will drop in price a bit

whats your budget ?

what do you have ?

what are you doing with your gpu / what will you do or want to do

Wait for the 300 series. You'll end up better off in the long run.

Depending on how much money you can spend, I'd go for a 970, 980.

I'll take possible slightly lower performance for significantly lower power usage and heat output any day.

If you can wait a few months then AMD will be releasing a whole new series, which will also cause the price drop of other competing cards

I don't buy that story about them all of a sudden going back and creating all new GPUs in 3 months. The R9 300 series will probably have rebrands. My guess for the release will be

 

R9 390/390x = new

R9 380/380x = rebrands of R9 290/290x

R9 370x = full Tonga chip, likely what the R9 285x was going to be before they scrapped the release once Nvidia dropped the GTX 970

R9 370 = rebrand of R9 285

It's still rumors at this point. There's no confirmation that there will be any rebrands.
