Upgrade gpu or wait?

[Branco Retlaw]

Hey guys,

I got a GTX 970 at the moment and im actually planning to upgrade because i have a 1080p@144hz monitor.

Should i wait for the GTX 11 series or just buy a GTX 1070?

Regards,

Branco

I would wait for the next generation.

i mean that 970 isnt exactly bad.

That is true what he said but again waiting for new generations is a endless loop. I`d say get the 1070 or if you are able to scrape together a bit more get a 1080 once and have a very nice experience all round. But granted the 1070 will be a good driver for a long time and if you have the setup sli is a option forward. The Volta series will not be with us any time very soon, unless you want to wait till the end of the year.

I agree with superninja, you should wait. The 970 is still a decent card, and should be able to drive your 1080[/144hz monitor just fine, depending on app/game and settings. AMD will be releasing Vega sometime in June iirc. It's worth waiting to see how overall performance & pricing is, regardless of choice.
