the 1060 is more like the 980, not the 980TI. the 980TI when overclocked is about the preformance of a 1070. we have no idea how good Volta or Vega will be, and no way of telling either. there are no Vega fronteir edition reviews out yet so we know almsot nothing about the preformance of Vega and Volta we have nothing to base speculations on for probably another few months

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

1060 isn't on par with a 980 Ti...  You'd have to get a 1080 to be comparable.

Worth waiting? No. Unless you have a freesync monitor, in which case it might be worth waiting for vega.

 

Vega is unlikely to give a big perf/$ boost imo, since it's not a new process node or anything.

 

Volta is still a year or so out, so there's no way I'd be waiting for that.

Correction: 1070. I have no idea why op thinks 1060 is on par with 980 ti though.

I remember a 1070 only being able to keep up if you OCed it and left the Ti stock clock, but the Ti won again if you OCed it as well.

I meant the 980. You still get my point. It was a huge jump in performance.

I'm not sure if I'll even want AMD drivers anyways.

Yeah, but they're close enough that I'd put them as pretty much equals.

Why? The new crimson drivers are pretty good.

Well, mainly for flight simulation. FSX doesn't seem to like AMD drivers. But if Vega was a big enough jump from Pascal, I would probably still consider it.

Eh it probably won't be.

 

If you're looking at buying a new gpu, just go for Pascal.

more like 8 months, Q1 or Q2 2018 release but im not going to wait for it.

its more like shrunk down and overclocked Maxwell. Volta is something entirely new so we have no idea what the preformance will be.
