Buy or wait

I'm currently on a gts250 after my gtx760 died a few weeks ago.

 

Thinking of getting the gtx 10 series and I've seen a lot of gtx 1050ti with prices that suits me.

 

Do I buy a gtx1050ti now or do I wait for gtx/rtx 11 series?

Should be going for an RX 570/580 which are 40-60% faster for not much more money

 

nvidia announces new GPUs in 2 days as well.

I’m no genius, but I’d assume when the 11 series cards drop (which may be soon) the 10 series MAY see a drop In price be it small or large. So, I would advice waiting to see what this price drop is and if there is one and go from there. (Btw I’m a hardcore noob so take anything I say with a grain of salt.)

Just my 2 cents, but based off the rumored pricing, I doubt that. There's enough room between current 1080 TI price and the 2080 price tags that 1080 prices may just stay put with a possibility of rising again. This scenario is assuming that the current price that was leaked is true, but in the end, the market will decide what the price will really be on the previous generations.

If you buy today, I would personally go for a gtx 1050 3gb version if you can find it.  They're not as common as the 2gb but they're pretty close to a 1050ti wtih just less vram and sometimes $50 cheaper.

 

If you can stretch there's the RX 570/580, and beyond that the 1070 is dropping in price quite a bit - the price drops in gpus hasn't quite caught up with the 1060 yet, at least in the US.

 

I'd wait a couple of weeks and then make a decision.

thanks to everyone who replied. if i can get a 1050 for cheap i'll go for it just to hold the withdrawal a bit.
