What's the current state of Vulkan and when might wider adoption, if at all, happen with respect to games and GPUs? Trying to decide on a GPU between £200-£300. Considering the 470, 480, 1060 and maybe even the 1070.

When might I expect GPU prices to drop? I know Black Friday/Cyber Monday is coming up soon and I can wait until then, if that's the window of opportunity.

Why is stock still pretty scarce on a lot of GPUs and what is up with MSI pricing recently as well?

Theres no telling if or when Vulkan will be widely adopted, from what I can tell it wont beat dx12 (lower frames than dx11), seems as though the only thing its better than is OpenGL at the moment, so Id predict dx12 will be the main API of the future

Cyber monday would be the best time to buy one, but the base price won't drop for awhile since they are only 4 months old
Stock isn't scarce from what I've seen, unless you want a 1050 Ti since that just came out, and MSI pricing seems normal to me
