Currently I'm using a Sapphire R9 290X and am strongly considering an upgrade to allow me to play games in 4K on ultra settings for the latest games such as Call of Duty Black Ops III.

So far, my R9 290X seems to drop down to 5 - 10 FPS on max settings in 4K on Black Ops III.

I really would like a powerful card as soon as possible, but if Nvidia were to release their latest lineup of Pascal graphics cards this June, what would that do to the current price of the 980 TI?

Could the TI's price drop by $100 to over $150 by this June if the Pascal were to be released?

Even if low-end Pascals are dramatically faster than the current 980 TI, I would still end up buying the 980 TI anyway because in addition to Windows 10 I also run Mac OS X Yosemite on my PC for iPhone development and the 980 TI has driver support for OS X.
