Stay with 980 Ti or upgrade to 1080 ?

Well the reviews are up for the 1080 and it shows quite a leap from the 980 Ti which is impressive but really sad for me since I bought my 980 Ti in November last year seeing it beaten so fast where my 980 Ti had little usage (not reaching it's limits in games) and I'm in the same dilemma I was when I was wanting to buy 980 Ti out of fear that the Pascal will easily beat it so I'm generally curious what do you folk think.

While I don't regret buying my 980 Ti that late in the year even when Pascal was announced with it's die shrink I bought my 980 Ti because I was impatient and wanted a GPU to last me for couple of years playing games on 1440p but seeing how much increase the 1080 is I'm wondering is it a smart move to upgrade to 1080 or stay with my 980 Ti ?

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks in forward.

EDIT: I have MSI GTX 980 Ti Gaming Edition (OC-ed), if anyone is wondering.

I'd stick with your 980Ti for now. I'm was in the same boat with my Titan X with the release of the 980Ti and now again with the 1080. In my opinion the small increase in performance is not worth another 600+ dollars. Especially since you have only had that card for 5 months. Save your money and wait for the 1080ti or Titan option.

Thanks for the answer James.
I think I will maybe save money if 1080Ti is coming along.

Any other suggestions ?

Definitely hold off until the GTX 1080 Ti is released. It may be as powerful as two GTX 1080s in SLI.

There is any release time for the 1080ti?

It depends on when AMD plans to release their Vega cards, so I'm looking towards the end of the year at the earliest.
