Hey guys I've been thinking about upgrading my Asus 570 in a month or 2, I was looking at getting a 780Ti but I've also been hearing rumours about a looming 800 series, My 570 although ageing can still play new games at medium settings at 60 fps at 1080p. The thing is I'm going to be leaving my house in the next few years (currently a teenager) so I don't want to upgrade again before then, will the 780Ti cut the mustard for 60+ fps at 1080p (ultra/high settings) for the next few years or should I hold on to my 570 that bit longer. (I know people say that you should buy or you will be waiting forever but I feel in my case it's a non issue) Thanks and sorry for the long post :).

Wait. See what Maxwell (800 series) brings on the Nvidia side. If you can still game comfortably, you'll be able to wait a little while. It will be worth it.

Be impatient like a kid and wait for the sweets to fall from the sky. My analogy sucks but yeah.
