Hi guys so i was wondering do you think the GTX 1080 Will be a Solid Gaming future proof for last like 5 years?

i am going to upgrade my Gtx 770 to 1080 (i don't wanna wait for 1080ti cause it will be more expensive, i think)
i don't like always upgrading GPU when their will be new series out, i only upgrade if my gpu can't handle games at max or high settings.

my only target to get a very solid 60 fps High setting at 1080p , i am not really a huge fan of 1440p or 4k since i don't use higher monitor than 1080.

so what's your opinion, get 1080 or wait for new and better Nvidia series?

The GTX 1080 is overkill for 1080p. Waste of money, waste of resources overkill. A GTX 1070 would be the most powerful card I'd consider for 1080p and even that's too much.

Hello and thank you for asking on Tom's Hardware! To answer your question, yes, a GTX 1080 will be future proof for 1080p AND 1440p as far as we can tell for future titles. Although, anort3 is right, a GTX 1080 is a bit too much for future proof 1080p gaming, a GTX 1070 is the better choice especially since it provides 3/5 the performance of a GTX 1080. Hope this helps and good luck!

What's the difference between spending $400 now, and spending $200 now and $200 3 years from now? Assuming you have the money, which if you're thinking of buying a card now then you do have the money, either way you're spending $400.

The benefit of buying the lesser card now is that when the future day comes that you need a new card, you can choose from the NEW cards that will be available then. If you buy the $400 card now then you're stuck with it.
