Wish we had a magical ball to predict this. Probably a few more months at best case IMO.. Mining is blowing up and really is showing no signs of slowing down.

I think you were thinking of Volta from Nvidia. RX Vega is already announced with HBM2 and Volta is announced with GDDR5X

Don't pay the prices

Just enjoy your PC with integrated gfx for the time being and wait for new cards or the mining bloom to pop which it will.

 

Loads of people are in the same boat mate, just have to hold out

I just sold my PowerColor 580 Red Devil for 450$, what a great card it was.

Hopefully I can buy a Vega red devil with this money when it comes!

If you're waiting for Vega, as soon as they're available for pre-order, click and be happy, as I'm sure those will go exceedingly fast as well if the mining craze is in full swing..........or just wait for the wave to pass, and the prices to come back down.
