Posted June 2, 2017 Hey LTT Forums this is my First Post on LTT Forums and on any tech forum in August this year I'm planning to get my build together consisting of a i7 7700k an MSI gaming pro carbon but for the graphics card I was originally planning for a 1070GTX but then after the Volta leaks I'm confused on waiting for Volta or buying the 1070 I can wait 3 months after august (I don't wanna make the same mistake as my cousin as he bought a 980ti and then 3 months later pascal launched) Pls Help Me Out LTT Forums!

Posted June 2, 2017 Before you choose, wait until Volta is announced, then decide. Or just buy it now because Volta's atleast a year away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted June 2, 2017 How is buying a 980TI (topend segment) relevant to buying a 1070 (midrange segment). It won't nearly be the same cut in value. Besides, expect the top-end models to launch first, and that 3 month date could be a paper launch. The "2070" could still be a long way away, specially with VEGA being delayed. FYI, the 1070 recently got a pricecut, if you've got the money and require the graphical performance now, just get it. Pascal Undervolting topic, get more out of your card with less power!

Posted June 2, 2017 Just get the 1070, you'd be waiting at least another year for Volta. زندگی از چراغ Intel Core i7 7800X 6C/12T (4.5GHz), Corsair H150i Pro RGB (360mm), Asus Prime X299-A, Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (4X4GB & 2X8GB 3000MHz DDR4), MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Gaming X 8G (2.113GHz core & 9.104GHz memory), 1 Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1TB NVMe M.2, 1 Samsung 850 Pro 256GB SSD, 1 Samsung 850 Evo 500GB SSD, 1 WD Red 1TB mechanical drive, Corsair RM750X 80+ Gold fully modular PSU, Corsair Obsidian 750D full tower case, Corsair Glaive RGB mouse, Corsair K70 RGB MK.2 (Cherry MX Red) keyboard, Asus VN247HA (1920x1080 60Hz 16:9), Audio Technica ATH-M20x headphones & Windows 10 Home 64 bit.

Posted June 3, 2017 Volta wont be out until around Q1-Q2 next year, up to you if you can wait that long. A used 980ti could be good until then (If you can find it at good price, otherwise 1070 if you want to spend a little for for one new).

I will skim through a presentation again, because I swear he casually mentioned they will announce gaming GeForce this year, unless I was hearing things. Do you have a link about next year's launch?

Posted June 3, 2017 I would also consider Ryzen for CPU and Vega (when it comes out) for GPU. We cannot say how Vega is going to put up against 1070/1080, but surely Ryzen offers more bang for the buck than Kaby Lake. CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X Cooler: Corsair H100i Platinum SE Mobo: Asus B550-A GPU: EVGA RTX 2070 XC RAM: G.Skill Trident Z RGB 3200MHz 16CL 4x8GB (DDR4) SSD0: Crucial MX300 525GB SSD1: Samsung QVO 1TB PSU: NZXT C650 Case: Corsair 4000D Airflow Monitor: Asus VG259QM (240Hz) I usually edit my posts immediately after posting them, as I don't check for typos before pressing the shiny SUBMIT button.

Posted June 3, 2017 No one knows when Volta is coming out. It's pointless to ask what gpu to get in early June if you're not going to be doing a build until August. Maybe the GTX 1080 gets a further price cut (I think it's already a better deal than the GTX 1070). Maybe AMD has a killer value cutdown Vega chip when they launch in July. And I wouldn't discount the possibility @MysticLTT mentioned, that Nvidia could launch GV104 early to spoil Vega's launch. It's exactly what they did to spoil the Fury X launch a couple of years ago. A couple of days before Fury X was to be paper launched Nvidia gave a hard launch to the GTX 980 Ti and AMD ended up pushing back their launch another couple of weeks. AMD was set to offer Titan X level performance for $800 and Nvidia swooped in and offered it for $650 with the 980 Ti. By late July to early August we should know a lot more about the gpu landscape since Vega will have launched and Nvidia will have possibly done something to counter, be it a price cut, a launch, a launch announcement, a strong game bundle, or perhaps nothing if Vega flops. Who knows? Coffee Lake might even be nearing launch by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
