Next gen gpu

[N8 the Gr8]

I'm looking into building a computer but I heard new gen graphic cards will be coming out soon but idk when. Does anyone know when and how much it would cost? Also, idk if I should wait to get the next gen which focus on 4K or should I get a low end card and upgrade later. I was looking into getting 2 970s for right now.

Prices are completely unknown right now. The "Next gen" is Pascal btw. It's being released in april this year. I'd wait just so the current cards take a dive in price. Unless of course the new cards are that much better.

If you have the budget, the new Pascal cards (Nvidia) are rumored around 1,000-1,500 USD. You should wait, and they will be released for sure this year. AMD's new cards will be Polaris.

Both are at minimum months away, but if you want to run 4k you'll need one of the upcoming cards as our current cards are not up to 4k. But definitely don't go 970 SLI. If you want something for now pick up a 980ti, mine busts out any game out right now at ultra settings and holds 60fps no problem.

They won't. My 290 went up in price over 70% when the 390 came out. It's about supply. Not what's new.

On the cheap stuff, yeah. Try finding a Vapor X 290 OP looking at 4k, ain't nobody looking to run 4k on a cheap GPU.

I heard 2 970s get around 104 and 1 980 gets around 60

Depends on the game. This video is on the Kingpin but shows 970 SLI numbers.

SLI tends to only cause more problems than having a single card solution. Some games don't even support SLI.

[Conan1600]

depends on how you look at things. there will ALWAYS  be the next big awesome new shiney thingy yum yum just around the bend. prices are great if you look in the right places. i just bought another gtx 970 not more than an hour ago from evga b stock. 250.00 and a 1 year warranty. ill take that price all day long mates

Depends on how many people want the older cards. Check out the price on the 780ti I linked to above.

It's used. I would prefer buying brand new.

Personally, the Hybrid. It's expensive but overclocks well and the temperatures are the best of any 980ti.

Would recommend a 4790k +980Ti instead of 6700k + 980. 

 

Btw: the 980Ti and 980 are two different cards.

id change the seagate drive for a western digital and try to get that oss somewhere cheaper. i usually buy win7 keys for 20 bucks and upgrade from there for my builds.

 

EDIT: also i heard that psu is supposed to be not so very good but im no expert when it comes to psu's

What is the difference from the 980 and 980ti and the motherboard doesn't support the cpu. Also, is this motherboard good with the wifi adapter or should I get a different board

High-end Pascal will most likely not release by April, it's looking to be released after Polaris, it would make sense, AMD has always been the first company to a new process node, and has already demonstrated it and given a release date for before August.

basically.. The 980Ti mops the floor with the 980 in every game/scenario. The 980Ti is a better performing (gaming wise) and cheaper Titan X.

[Spectrez]

not only are prices unknown but so is the date, so far we haven't heard anything concrete to go by.

 

im still very skeptical for a april release from either side, past maybe some prototype show off cards.
