1080Ti or wait for V -ega/-olta

[Xythol]

I currently have a surround setup thats 3x 1280x1024@75Hz with a secondary monitor for non-surround games (1600x900@60Hz, may upgrade to 1440p@165Hz Gsync). Computer cant run my games. Should I buy a 1080 Ti or wait for Vega or Volta? The goal is 3840x1024@75Hz.

 

The important Game is Just Cause 3, which i cant even run at 1600x1200, it dips below 60 fps. Other games I play that are easier to run are Overwatch, Starcraft 2, Heroes of the Storm, Elder Scrolls Online, Skyrim. I will be playing Destiny 2 when it comes out. Any help appreciated!

 

Specs:

4790k@4.7GHz

Corsair H60

GTX 1070 AMP! Xtreme from Zotac

MSI Z97S SLI Krait

32GB Kingston HyperX Fury DDR3 1866

Corsair Force LE 480gb

If you wait, there will always be something greater and newer around the corner.

well once they release the 1070 drops in value, so might be better to do now, only question is what kind of deal you can find for a 1080ti, using cashback deals I was able to score a 1080ti founders for under $600 USD, so that was a no brainer, but full price 1080ti is a hard pill to swallow.

except when vega/volta launches there wont be anything new for a while

1080 Ti or add a second 1070, Vega is not worth the wait, honestly

We don't know that, nor do we not know when these things are launching definitively. My philosophy is always get the best of what you can afford currently, unless something better has a nearby and concrete date.

Second 1070 wont help JC3, doesn't support SLI.

Vega is launching (and they said it would NOT just be a "paper launch") at Siggraph (or however you spell it) that takes place in just under 2 months, Volta release for consumer cards is unknown, but likely in the next 6 months.

we do at least for vega siggraph in end of july.

And this companies work in cycles of between 1-2 years, so right after a launch from both companies a new product coming soon is very rare (for the same market segment)

I thought they were announcing a release date for the consumer cards at Siggraph and that only the higher end "pro" cards were releasing then.

Well according to Intel's round up of their "flagship" i9 series just last week waiting until after a launch of a product will see some price changes as well as "newly" boosted OC, FTW, etc,. On the horizon so waiting a bit may be useful. Again that is the cpu side of things but with graphics I have seen markdown prices in the past.

 

Here's to AMD once again shaking up the market and hopefully making Nvidia sweat a bit.

Will my 4790K Bottleneck a 1080Ti? It stays at about 60% usage when the 1070 is at 95%.

the Frontier Edition (pro cards) launches at the end of this month, like the 27th or something.
