Posted September 8, 2017 I have right now a 950ti asus strix mini. I'm going to build a PC in the coming months hopefully with coffee lake when it is released. the question is should I get a 1080ti or postpone my build until Volta comes out and does anyone have any info on when that might be? I'm thinking it should be soon since it has already been since march that the 1080ti was released? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. get the 1080ti. i doubt nvidia will release a new gen of cards just yet because the 1080ti still stands unchallenged and theres no real need for an upgrade to run current games maxed. however if you are patient of course you can wait a couple years for it.

Posted September 8, 2017 If you're not buying the card today then asking if you should wait is pointless because the answer today and a couple months from now can be completely different.

All 1080Ti's are about as fast as eachother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted September 8, 2017 If you are doing it now then don't wait but if it is as you say in your original post ("in the coming months") then ask when you are ready to commit. News about Volta will probably be updated by then. EDIT: 11 minutes ago, PCMasterGuy said: EDIT: Also, do you really think it's going to take a couple years for the next gpus to come out? No, there is a high chance that Volta will be released next year. When people say that Volta is delayed it is in a context - and the context was that people were expecting Volta to appear in last months of 2017 or Q1 of 2018. NVidia delayed cause they don't need to rush but it doesn't mean that Volta will not be released next year. It might be Q2 or Q3 next year, that's all.

Hmm, well I was expecting early 2018 like january or february or something because they usually don't wait that long for a new architecture to be released right? if that's the case tho I'll probably get the 1080ti then...

Posted September 8, 2017 According to PC Games hardware (big german magazine), the best 1080 ti are: MSI Gaming (X) / Gigabyte Aorus (Extreme), maybe Palit Jetstream (ignore the Gamerock, it's Garbage). Asus Strix is "ok", if it's the cheapest. it has a slightly worse Cooling System as the above, and it's a slight bit Louder. If same price, there is no Reason, to get Asus Strix, if you can get MSI Gaming X / Gigabyte Aorus. @ Volta: Won't come untill probably mid 2018 or later. Nvidia has absolutely Zero reason to release it, now since Vega was a "flop", and can't even beat 15 Month old Pascal in terms of Performance per Watt. Nvidia has no Rush.

Posted September 8, 2017 Get something NOW...Volta is in no hurry at this point. Maybe if Vega was a total hit... but it's not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted September 8, 2017 Author Is there a huge difference in perfomance between aib cards? I personally love the looks of the strix one myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
