Should I get a gtx 1070 now

[yugi8264]

Right now I have a gtx 660 and was thinking of getting a gtx 1070 but the prices are still fairly high should I wait until Black Friday/cyber monday to pick one up or get one right now as prices aren't going to be that much different.

Wait for black friday. Everything gets SUPER cheap. 

Also if it doesn't well... It's not that far away just to see if you can save some money.

If you can wait, wait. Worst comes to worst, prices aren't that different but if they do come down and you buy now, you'll probably be mad at yourself later.

But you're right, chances are prices won't come down a CRAZY amount, but wait if you can just in case.

Hope this helps!

vram pricing is rising due to supply limitations, honestly think at best prices will stay the same... get a 1080

wait

right now prices are still pretty high for GPUs because of stupid fucking miners. During/around BF and Cyber Monday you'll be able to pick up a good 1070 around $350-390

Bascially. If the OP is in the US he can get a 1080 for $90 more than the very cheapest 1070, and more like $50 more than a 1070 that has a decent cooling solution.

If youre going to get a 1070 you should save a little more and get a 1080

Get a 1080 for $100 more.

I mean a gtx 1070 strix is like 460 and you can get a zotac mini for 450 so I wouldnt say they are 500 but more like 450.

Hello, Umm What kind of games do you want to play though?, if you are trying to game at 1440p then I am Pretty sure that could work, but if you are trying other games let me know.

That's a horrible buy at that price. You'd be much better off buying this 1080 at $520

never said it was a good buy. just said that the price wasn't 500

I would steer clear of 1070s personally. After the mining hikes here especially the 1080 becomes the better value proposition. Power consumption and things aside it shud get u ultra 1440p at a steady 60 if not even better.
