Worth the wait and money?

If you can wait, then wait.

If not, then buy what you need now.

If you wanna buy now, get the R9 390 instead of the GTX 970. Slightly better DX11 performance, significantly better DX12 performance, and double the VRAM without any segmentation nonsense.

Ok guys, this might be a dumb question but should I just get a gtx 970 right now, or just wait and save a bit more money for when the gtx 1070 comes out?

I would wait until the benchmarks for the 1070 come out then made a decision based on that. 

My Work in Progress PC http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/522048-xeon-build/ <-- That PC was built but never booted:(

The problem is that this is an nVidia product and scoring any nVidia product a "zero" is also highly predictive of the number of nVidia products the reviewer will receive for review in the future.

Only yours, you don't shitpost on the same level that we can, mainly because this thread is finally dead and should be locked.

I wasn't wrong. It's extremely rare that I am. I provided sources as well. Different devs can disagree. Further, we now have confirmed discrepancy from Twitter about he use of the pre-release 1080 driver in AMD's demo despite the release 1080 driver having been out a week prior.

You apparently haven't seen his responses to questions on YouTube. He is very condescending and aggressive in his comments with which there is little justification. He acts totally different in his videos. I don't necessarily care for this content style and there is nothing really unique about him or his channel. His endless dick jokes and toilet humor are annoying as well.

Wait for the GTX 1070 now as it's very close.
