Wait for Vega cards or get GTX 1070

[azza_01]

Hi guys

So i plan on building a gaming pc soon and i plan on getting a MSI GTX 1070 8GB. But with AMD releasing their new series Vega cards just around the corner, should i wait or just get the gtx 1070?
I plan on using the AMD Ryzen 1600X.

Any thoughts would be appreciated


Cheers.

Vega 56 is looking like a good alternative to the 1070

Might be worth waiting until reviewed benchmarks and the AIB versions are available, as both AMD's and Nvidia's blower style coolers on reference GPUs aren't very good at all.

The 1070 is no slouch either, so it's not a bad decision if you went for one.

There's always something new just round the corner.

As long as you go for hardware that's going to deliver the performance you need, then it doesn't matter really.

I would wait a short while, as the vega card should cause some price drops on the 1070 and 1080.
