So,im with Radeon HD5770(yep,2009,still going strong) and i guess ill have to upgrade that soon so my question is:should i wait for pascal release?(not that im going to buy a pascal card,i just want it to reduce the prices of like 960 and similar so i can buy it).MB is asrock b85 pro;cpu i5-4570,8gb ram.I play like dota 2,cs:go,D3/WoW,MWO online (which is the toughest) sometimes and thats it.And that old card runs all of them so i dont need something high-end :)

It's hard to recommend a solution for a product that is not out yet and even worse information on it is quite minimal. We're all expecting the Nvidia Pascal/AMD polaris architecture to be a serious step-up from the current gen of gpus but that is all speculation to this point. As far as prices go, just like Gam3r01 said, I wouldn't really expect them to drop significantly. Most likely you'd see a small price drop at the higher tier stuff and the next gen GPUs being priced sky-high.
Pascal wont drop prices of the 9xx series.
Prices may dip for a week or two to flush out current stocks, but prices will remain around where they currently are, then increase due to limited stock of the cards. (Nvidia moves their old generations to EOL right before the launch of new generations)
