Buy gtx760 now or wait for 800 series?

[westy28]

I was wandering whether i should buy a gtx 760 now (around $315 in Australia currently) or should i wait for the gtx 800 series to come around?

Also im keeping in mind the 700 range will drop in price once the 800 series is out...

Do you have a gpu currently? Is it still able to play games efficiently? If yes save and go maxwell , if not go and purchase a 760

I have a gtx560 currently, i have just wanted to upgrade for a while now. It doesnt play bf4 the best currently, but i can deal with it.

Better you save. Why buy a current lineup of gpu when you can get a whole new archicteture. I still have a 6850 1gb and a 7850 2 gb. I hardly use d 7850 but I use the 6850. I intended to get 780ti but since dere wasnt a 6gb im passing and waiting 4 880 series.

will the gtx 860 or middle range of the 800 series be much better than the current mid range 700 series?

go for the 780[/quotems

the 780 isnt really within my reach budget wise...

Till now nobody knows since nvidia been very silent about their product lineup. However they did release 1 maxwell card the 750ti where they managed to get quite a performance under lower power req and game with acceptable fps at 1080p. The current lineup is 28mm n maxwell is 20mm sothey might attempt to ssqueeze more cores and performance together.
