Buy gtx 1080Ti or wait for next one?

[sosqqwe]

Currently I am running on MSI GTX 980 Ti
with i5-3570k

I felt that cpu is bottlenecking so hard so I decided to upgrade to i7-7700k

while upgrading all other components except for case and GPU

but then GTX 1080 Ti released

should I upgrade to 1080Ti? or should I wait for the next one (1180 or Volta ..w/e)

I don't run games on 4k because of monitor.

I play heavily modded skyrim,fallout4 ,battlefield 4&1, CSGO


EDIT: I just realized I posted on the wrong forum

I'd wait at least until Vega comes out. Even if you're not interested in an AMD card, it should have the effect of pushing down Nvidia's prices a little, in theory.

That and you'll probably also get custom coolers on the Ti, since at the moment they are still all founders edition blower style ones.

I'd upgrade your monitor first. Something like https://jet.com/product/ASUS-PG278QR-Black-27-1ms-GTG-HDMI-Widescreen-LED-Backlight-LCD-Monitor-350-cdm2/680edc16a0434065981d921197ad5197 would be a good pairing for the 1080Ti or one of the top-end yet-to-be-released cards. You enter triple15 as your promo code and you save $95. First you should Google that sku and see that their price isn't inflated to allow for the discount. I think it would be a perfect compromise between 4K and 1080p extending the life of the rig.

If nvidia does that they always do. The new one will be announced in Nov and come out in FEB. IT will be faster than the current 1080 TI by 10-30% and the cycle starts over.

I would consider waiting. The 980Ti is still a very good card considering you're not playing 4K. Nvidia will keep putting out new cards that'll run better than previous generations and AMD is still releasing Vega which will hopefully drive Nvidia prices down. So I would wait until you either get a better monitor or when new games start to take a toll on the 980Ti.
