Should I wait or should I buy

Should I wait for aftermarket 1180 GPU or should I grab the Founders right when it launches 

 

(or do both founders/aftermarket cards lunch at the same time?)

Aftermarket usually launches after a few months. 

 

It all depends on how badly you want the card, and for what price.

also, the diffrence between the aftermarket and founders is the noise and heat right ? 

... the cost is ~ 600 - 700 right?

well if you wait you'd be always waiting

indecision is never good

Again, this really is a subjective sort of thing. 

 

I have no idea of knowing how much you want to upgrade, just like I have no idea what you want for dinner today. Just keep in mind reference cards usually cost a good $100 more than the cheaper aftermarket ones.

Do it again as the 11 series will jump start the mining craze again. Leaving people to try and find used 10 series cards, as once the 11s are announced Nvidia won't make the 10 anymore.

... thus repeating the mining gpu craze....

ok but indecision exacerbates when driving, so I'd have to see you get behind the wheel. Do you need a mile or not, thats in a lot of aspects, yield/merge, parking.

 

for computers its best to spend wisely and know what you require, what you want and what you need. If you just go willy nilly then you are spending money on wasteful items, like a 1080 when a 1060 is all that you need.

 

You can look at used, you dont always have to go new.

you could also check into 1080 ti prices when the 1180 launches and see if you can snag a deal.
