Gtx 970 or should i wait for Pascals Gpu

[TheTrMachine]

Hello everyone.

I'm currently using a Gtx 650 1GB and i am having some trouble playing the new releases. So I would like to know if i should just get a Gtx 970 right now or be patient for a while and wait for the Pascal.

Things to consider is that I will be able to spend around 400 Euros and not much more

Should get an R9 390 if your PSU can handle it (or wait for Polaris if you want much less heat and power consumption).

 

[not you]

That upgrade would already be a huge improvement if you wait sure you can get something better but the difference between the gtx 970 and the gtx 650 is huge so it would be worthwile anyway

The gtx 970 can max games in 1080p that the 650 cant even run properly

Its only about your patience

What is your rest of the build ? gaming performance depends mainly on GPU but other parts can also bottleneck substantially. For a more accurate analysis , post your entire build

The rest of the build was recently upgraded
Cpu:i5 6600k
Mobo:msi z170 gaming pro
Ram 16gb ddr4
I just ran out of money at that time and couldnt get a gpu too

 

[Mr Kagouris]

Power supply?

 

[TheTrMachine]

The power supply will be upgraded at the same time with the gpu.
At the moment its a Thermaltake 550W(dont remember the exact model right now and i am not home)

 

[Mr Kagouris]

By "upgraded" what do you mean? How much money would you spend on the power supply?

Well it is about 5years old and i think it is due for a change. I am thinking of spending around 100euros for a new one
