Based on previous years of release, will new gpu architecture improve by performance with the same price?

When comparing with previous releases, by both nvidia and amd, will performance for dollar increase significantly (eg. if the 1070 comes out, will it be the same price as the 970 with better performance, or will it be more expensive?) After no news from nvidia, and rumours that the polaris cards will only be released near july, i might just get a card from the current generation, unless there is a massive increase in performance per dollar.

i would assume a 980/390x will last at least 2 more years at high settings for games, and will still be able to support every single game at least at low/med for the next few years, and sli/crossfire support could help for newer titles. please correct me if i'm wrong, and if pascal/polaris will blow the current gen out of the water, cus it seems like pascal will only improve performance by 70% instead of the 10x the power previously stated (those rumours may be wrong though)

another quick question, which of these cards will be better at 2d and basic 3d rendering, the 970. 980, 390 or 390x, will vram affect the results much?

well u cnt assure anything they release it..
The 970 wasnt focused on high resolution where as pascal is focused on that...
So yeah id say wait till the new gpus come and then if its worth it get that and a 2k display

well in higher resolution i guess it will cuz they are more focused... example 2k or 4k..
But in 1080p i dnt think there would be a huge performance difference....
Well it would be wise to stay cuz after the review if the new cards arent that worth it the old gen card prices will go down... so yeah better to hold on...

going to build my pc in early june, and if the pascal and polaris cards are confirmed to launch before mid july (and i have to consider the time it will take for it to reach my country) i might try to hang on with integrated cards first.
I will only play on 1080p at the moment, and will probably upgrade to newer cards by the time i want to go with 2k/4k.

will the retail price go down, or is it because of the load of people selling their older cards (which seems extremely uncommon in the south east asia region)

This is probably an unneeded bump, but i myself have come to the conclusion that the 1070 could be almost as powerful as the current 980ti since the 970 is about as powerful as the 780ti
