gtx 1080 Upgrade to Pascal or Wait?

[Random115]

I need some advice i am not sure if i should upgrade to the GTX 1080 Ti when it comes out or wait for the Volca architecture as it will probably be a good 30% better again by their estimation charts, btw i am leaning more towards buying the GTX 1080 Ti when it comes out and buy a new 1440p monitor, also would my CPU bottleneck it if i did upgrade?

 

PC Specs:

CPU - i5 4670K @4.2GHz

Motherboard - Gigabyte G1-Sniper Z5S

GPU - NVIDIA Gigabyte GTX 760 2GB

RAM - 16GB 2133MHz

PSU - 750W

if you can wait, always wait

graphics card will only get better anyway

 

as for bottlenecking, it depends on the games `-`

It's a nice upgrade and I say go for it.

then you might wanna get the 1080Ti, since im assuming you play AAA games on 1080p

the 760 will do fine on medium~high settings though, so it depends on whether you can live with lower graphics quality longer or you wan more

 

personally i would upgrade to 1080Ti if i play AAA games often

If you wait for something better, you will always be waiting. That being said, really depends on if you are feeling the limitations of your current card for your current games; I for example still use a 7950 Boost since I only use a 1080p display and only play certain games that my current card can handle without a problem so I never upgraded.

I would wait for Volta, it's right around the corner

Thank you all for making up my mind i think i might go for the 1080 ti, as "If you wait for something better, you will always be waiting.", and yeah i do play my AAA games a lot and wouldn't mind being able to play The Witcher 3 on high with good FPS.

Ah two years that was the thing that was making me lean towards the 1080 Ti but as Shura said and i will quote again "If you wait for something better, you will always be waiting." but thanks anyway
