Hey, am thinking of buying a 980ti for gaming in a couple of months. I heard that nvidia is gonna launch new gpus in 2016.So should i wait for their pascal line or is 980ti still worth is for 4k ultra gaming. And dont mind going for the red team, Amd. Suggest me a gpu at the price range of 980ti. In my place 980 ti costs 1 k. And.. Is it worth for 1k.Thank you for your replies.

No, just wait. No reason to drop 1k on a GPU that might get outdated. Where do you live?

GPU: XFX RX 7900 XTX

CPU: Ryzen 7 7800X3D

Depends on the currency. 'It costs 1k' means nothing since we don't know what currency you use. And since you mentioned you'd get an 980 TI in a couple of months save up some money and get the pascal perhaps of it doesn't bottleneck the rest of your PC!

If you already have a GPU to at least get you by for while, then yeah, wait up. We expect Pascal in June, it isn't THAT far away.

The price is going to be relative to your localization. If you're waiting a couple of months, Pascal may be launched by then so it would probably be better to get that. If you're buying now, it's still a great buy. The 980TI will likely be very close to the 1080 in terms of performance, but it will bring some architectural changes.

i kinda have the same question rushing upon my mind
but is the new successor of 980ti would be as expensive as TITAN X , or even more expensive than it? 

would it be worth it waiting for the new pascal line?

Damn 1k usd is like 350-300$ more than usual depending on the model. Wait until pascal and while waiting save up some more money and see where it gets you !
