980 Ti SLI or wait for Pascal

[Soger7]

No matter what I'll be waiting for the Fury X to release, but I am fairly certain that I'll go with the 980 Ti's in 2-way SLI.
What I want to know is if you think I should wait for Pascal, and if buying the 980 Ti's is dumb right now.

Thank you.

I would get the SLI 980 Ti's. The way I look at it, if you are going to wait for Pascal, why not wait for the next generation after that? Something new is released every 3-6 months and will always be so. When does the cycle stop in regards to waiting for the next card/upgrade?

I can definitely see what you mean, but isn't Pascal supposed to be kind of revolutionary?

So wasn't Maxwell?

Every upgrade is "revolutionary" otherwise, who would bother with the upgrades?

Sorry, I wasn't into PC's at the time of Maxwell's release. Pascal just seems so close, that I'm afraid that I'd in the future regret going for the 980 Ti's.

All I can say is that no matter what you get now, in a few months (for sure by Christmas), whatever you have now will be outdated and something new will be released...so why not wait until then? But around that time they will be talking about the 2016 cards and Q2 release, why not wait until then?

The point is, something new will ALWAYS come out...where does the "waiting" stop and the "buying" start?

You're right, thanks.
When Pascal comes I should be able to just sell my 980 ti's if necessary

Hope you waited on that purchase. Rumor is the 649 dollar fury x is better than a 980 ti along with costing less. I'd get that, considering.
