No point in waiting because you can say wait for vega but volta is right around the corner anyways, no matter when you buy you will regret buying it half a year from when you buy it if youre buying in the next 2 years ish 

 

Edit:Get a new 1070 or if you dont mind, used 1080

Used 1080 if you play at 4K or want high fos at 1440p. Used 1070 or 980 Ti if you want around 60fps at 1440p, also at 4K if your turn the setting down. Or hunt around for some noob selling RX480/580s for cheap, buy them, and then sell them at a profit and get a 1080 Ti.

Hey

 

Just sold my RX480 for ridiculous 375 euros and now I wonder what to buy. Or should I wait?  Are there any expected pricedrops coming for nvdia? When will Vega arrive? 

Used 1080GTX seems the best option atm. Any other ideas?

dont wait for price drops anytime soon and if you want to wait 6+ months for a new Grapics card then go for it but if I were you I would get the best card you can get now.
