1080 vs 980ti

[patrick4525]

so i recently had my confirmation and i was thinking what GPU i should buy

i know nvidia is properly going to release the new 1000 series cards at computex. so should i wait for that to be released or buy a 980ti now

At this current point, nothing is for sure with Pascal/GTX 1080.

 

If you are still a few weeks/months away from getting the parts. Then wait for it. Else the 980ti will be the best card you can get.

It's very unlikely that Nvidia's new graphics cards will be released anywhere close to that then.

 

Current rumors say that they will be released at some point during the summer. June, July. There abouts, give or take a month or two. As nothing is for sure at this point in time. It's all speculations.

Rumors are that the 1080 will beat the 980ti but there is no certain evidence yet so wait until friday and see!

New stuff are usually plagued with bugs and it isn't until about 6 months later do manufacturers iron out the kinks.

 

The 980ti is hands down the best gpu you can get for the money.  If I had the money I would buy it.

Dual posts?

it won't be released before a couple of months, so if you can wait you should but otherwise go for the 980ti

If the rumors are accurate then it should be higher performance than a 980 ti and quite a bit cheaper. Its a 980 level of entry into the market in terms of silicon die size so should be quite a bit cheaper than a 980 ti. Its got a similar amount of CUDA cores and presumably only a bit more memory bandwidth, but we also have no idea what new features will be in the new cards in terms of DX 12 featureset support and such. The 900 series is old now, its obsolete and buying right now is bad. Either wait for the annoumcement and buy a much cheaper 980 ti that someone is selling second hand to upgrade or buy a 1000 series when they come out, but right now those 2 months will probably cost you $200-300 more than waiting a couple of months.
