Next gen Nvidia cards

[Mitrailleuse]

Is there any information about the next generation of Nvidia cards?(Volta?)

I'm looking to buy a new GPU and i'd prefer not to buy one only so that a new generation will get released right after...

[Phentos]

With Vega being the disappointment that it is, I don't see Nvidia releasing Volta gaming cards any time soon. Earliest we'll see them is probably Q2 of next year IMO.

 

If you're in the market for a new GPU, don't wait. Just buy one and enjoy.

They have been delayed. Don't expect to see them before march, at the earliest.

NVIDIA's Volta cards are a ways away.

 

If you're going to be always waiting for the next big thing, you're going to be waiting forever. If you're looking for a GPU upgrade, I suggest you buy now.

I agree with above. We will not likely see Volta until Q2 of 2018. That is 3/4 of a year from now. I would buy now, but the mining craze has jacked up gpu prices...

Depends on the game and resolution.

 

If you can afford it, there's no harm in getting the most powerful card (the GTX 1080Ti).

I'd get the 1080 with your monitor's resolution. Should be able to maintain the desired FPS your monitor needs.

 

However, if you are like me where you don't compromise in your graphics settings in the slightest, then 1080 TI is the only choice. Provided you can afford it of course... I was barely able to afford mine.

My need to buy a new GPU comes from Pubg mainly(i also bought witcher 3 and put off playing it until i get a new GPU),

playing pubg 1080P everything on VERY LOW i'm getting 50~fps with massive drops,pretty much unplayable,(i don't think the game even supports SLI)

also like you said i have a 144hz monitor which i need to utilize.

Looking at the prices i won't buy a 1070,so it's between the 1080 and 1080 TI.

If you aren't planning planning on a 1440P or 4K monitor, the 1080 would be your best bet and cheaper route, unless of course you just want to say you have a 1080TI.

No GPU at present is able to push PUBG at a steady 144 FPS on high/ultra settings, as the CPU becomes the limiting factor. A heavily OC'ed 7700K and 1080 TI can get fairly close though. With a 1080/1080Ti plus your CPU, you might be able to come close if you keep the settings low, but your CPU will be the biggest bottleneck.

 

Just wanted to point that out.

I always prefer performance over quality,i have no problem dropping settings to get 144hz.(generally 100+ is good for me unless its CSGO)

I'll probably get a 1080 but i'll keep thinking about it,

Thank you.

The strix is nice. The g1 is also a good choice. I wouldn't go for the the factory oc'ed models unless they are the same price, as you can always overclock them, and the chips usually aren't binned.
