I want to build a PC so i did some research and chose all the parts except the GPU ,is the 980 ti / R9 390x worth waiting for or just go with the 980 or 970 Sli ,I'm coming from an xbox 360 so i'm itching to get this pc.
 
how long you can wait? but let me tell you in advance first. some people have been waiting AMD 390X since september last year. the rumor starts from late 2014 to early 2015 then to late Q1 release. finally the latest rumor suggest 390X will launch in june/july time frame. as for 980Ti i've heard two rumor so far. first september launch (probably will launch as new series instead of GTX980Ti). second rumor talks about mid to late may launch. probably to disturb AMD launch in june/july time frame.
 


If it's going to be better in higher resolution I'm willing to wait especially that i will be gaming on 4k.
 
Well before that it was rumor. Yes during the latest earning AMD did talk about launching their new GPU this quarter. Even that they still not give definite date. They can paper launch the card late this quarter with actual availibility in early Q3 this year. It happen with 7970/7950 launch. Review goes live in December 2011 but actual availability are not until january 2012.
 


I guess i'm waiting till september ,thanks
