1080 Ti now or Volta/2070/2080

[Kracor]

I was thinking about to buy a gtx 1080 Ti
but saw people talking Volta/20** coming soon is this true? So yes when?
And will it be much better?
The gtx 980 Ti is beaten by the 1070...
Will this happen too?

Thanks

u will have all the models of volta by the starting of the next year. or so they say. i think u would be pretty comfy even with a 2k 144hz monitor for 2-3 years easy with a 1080ti.

Surely the 2070 will match the 1080TI (or close to it)...and the 2080 will be the new performing leader; but you're looking at a wait for Volta consumer GPUs to hit the shelves. Last I checked, I saw Q1 2018 (but anyone's guess is good at this time).

The 1080TI is still reletively new, and is a fantastic card. Unless you're dead set on 100fps @ 2160p + Ultra Settings...don't wait for the 20XX cards.

Thanks for you answer but I really like to play the witcher 3 and ARK in 4k will it last long enough?

Why would anyone want 100 FPS at 4K, no monitor can show that(at least currently).

To OP - get the 1080 Ti IMO, for 4K gaming it's still pretty good, but do keep in mind that it won't last very long at 4K even though it's a beast. But the fact is, with the rate at which game graphics are advancing, even a 2080 wouldn't last too long, so it's best you get the 1080 Ti, run it for as long as you can, then sell it off and buy the best at that time again - it's the only way you can continue playing AAA games at 4K.

If you wait for the next best thing, you will wait forever.
If you have a need now, buy now.

What volta will bring is just rumor.
We do not know price, performance, or availability.
Speculation is that it will be a GTX1080 competitor, not GTX1080ti.
Then, we do not know what the nvidia response will be.

Um, that's Vega. Vega is competing with GTX 1080. Volta is Nvidia's next gen GPU line-up.

the 1080ti is good for 4k 60fps. but that may change in the next year. i would suggest a 21:9 3440X1440 instead of 3440X2540 res. less pixels to power it so more fps displayed.

I'm not going to assume. I would wait until all the cards are on the table. Even AMD says it will squash the 1080 Ti with its top Vega GFX card. There is much to learn after the release. Exercise patience and in about a week(less than) you will see what Vega has to say to Nvidia. Will it be a roar such as it was with Ryzen or?

Volta? 2018. No need to add fire to rumors.

Thanks for all you help guys!
I'll buy it!

Happy gaming 😀

Even with Vega's release less than a week away? Idk....

The Op is obviously concerned with "future proofing", and the range of 2160p @ 144hz displays will be coming out Q3/4 2017...close to a Volta release.

The 1080ti handles 2560x1440/120hz+, 3440x1440/100hz, and 3820x2160/60hz very well...but the aforementioned displays will merit the newest (VOLTA) GPUs.

I'm going to stay put with my 2016 setup I yet to have troubles
i7 6850k 6 core 3.6 @4.410
32GB DDR4 PC 3000 Was buy 16 get 16 free
2 1080gtx sc 1 @2114/5508
2 480GB SSD on SATA 6GB +16GB RAM CACHE HDs

51 games all max out 120-144 1080p
1440p no troubles with new monitor. I

buy top PC and always replace it every 3 years I feel this one is fine to try going for 4-5 on it. SLI has always let me skip a line atleast. that's the plus of SLI and more frames most my games are 2014 to 2017 a few before that and few 2018 so far no troubles I Am sure I will be able to buy 2018 games with no problems with my 2 1080gtx cards After all most game makers aim for midrange systems for the most part.
