I am thinking of upgrading from my GTX 460 to a GTX 1050. My friends tell me that I should wait for the new 50 card (what is that called?), because it will be realeased soon (presumably within 5 months). should I buy the 1050 or wait, ARE MY FRIENDS IDIOTS?

Please don't argue with me, I am just trying to help, or be helped. (we are all humans right?)

I would say buy now, honestly.

 

Maybe even hit up the used market that's flooding with mining GPUs.

I totally agree with you. You could also look for some card from the 900 series. A 970/980 will do the trick and almost equal 1070s at performance.

980Ti is more on par with the 1070, the 970/980 are both closer to the 1060 3/6Gb(respectively).

And sometimes way cheaper than used 1070s and 1060s
