Nvidia Pascal when?

[Venoox]

Hello, I'm currently using A6-7400K and HD 4890, it's a poor comp. I'm buying a new one i5 + gtx 970. Should I wait for Pascal or just buy gtx 970. My budget for GPU is 330 euros. And when is Pascal coming?

IMO for Pascal in your budget range you are looking at Christmas at the earliest and mid-next year is probably more like it.

If you mean when to get a GTX 970, then some time late summer or early Autumn because I believe Pascal is being released at the end of May and lots of people will be selling their used 970s much cheaper on Ebay. I don't personally think that the prices will drop much for new cards (ie Amazon, Newegg), at least not enough for it to be worth the wait. So just grab a used one on Ebay from a seller who has a lot of good feedback. But for the CPU, you may as well get it now but you will have to buy a new motherboard for the Intel socket. If you want a Pascal card, then I don't think there will be a good one in your price range until late this year or next year.

Less expensive mid-range cards may be available by autumn.

But the upper performance line up should be available sometime in the June timeframe.

I find this May/June time frame really really odd. So Micron make GDDR5x they stated that they would be gearing up for mass production at the end of the summer. So we understand that Pascal wont feature HBM2 but will feature GDDR5x yet the only company that makes it arent starting mass production till the end of the summer yet it will feature on mass produced cards 2-3 months before it goes into production

Surely that must be one of Nvidias 5 Miracles
