Hi! I am currently running a half decent setup and i am wondering about getting a new gpu. I cant play Overwatch at max settings with my 144hz screen. Should i get a new gpu? And in that case with one? 

 

Specs:

CPU: I7 7700k

GPU: Gainward 970 (not phantom)

Cooler: Kraken x52

Ram: 16 gb 2133 mhz

 

I am running 3 screen setup.

 

Thank you all for help!

I would wait. Rumor is Nvidia is announcing next gen GPUs on August 20th.

Depends on what you want to spend. So far rumors point to a $200 premium over last gen.

Havent decided yet. Hoping to not spending too much but u know. I want a card that would last and a good one so it probably have to be expensive.

Basically, a 1180/2080 whatever, will set you back over $700. So y'know.
