nvidia gtx 900 out of stock

[Thun_d3r]

I picked this idea somewhere on this forum, i can't remember where. I am going straight to the point: I would not recommend buying any of the gtx 900 series gpus until they are all in stock for more than one or two weeks, because:
1) at that time there will be reviews for every card( reviews on zotac gtx970 extreme edition for example are still scarce);
2) more people using the product make the possible problems more obvious and therefore you know what to expect and the manufacturer knows what needs to be fixed;
3) when the demand is high, the price is also high, though i'm not sure if this is very important once you decide to buy these cards;

I am looking to buy a gtx970 and i will certainly wait until i won't have to be rushed into getting it because of fear that the next day it will be out of stock.

What do you think?

If you can wait, there are certainly benefits in doing so. Once the initial rush of buyers have their cards there should be better selection, rather than having to buy whatever is available. The 900 series cards are also having some teething issues right now, eg. GTX 970s are having lots of coil whine problems, and there have been a number of driver issues as well, so waiting a while can be beneficial in letting the drivers mature and maybe getting the other hardware issues sorted out.
