Bad idea to buy a new gpu now looking at Vega release in near future?

So it looks like Nvidia got their cards on an already 'low' price now in terms of nvidia like it's pre-emptively adjusted to VEGA.

So I wonder if AMD's vega will be going to affect those prices even more if it's better in price/performance because they have to or would Nvidia stick to intel's strategy of doing nothing after ryzen release.

I don't want to buy a 1080ti now, and find it's new price be 200$ less in only 2 months or be able to get a vega card with the same or nearly the same performance for 200$+ less.

So just for that reason I'm tending to get a temporary second hand card to watch vega unfold and get a 1080ti or Vega by that time.

So can I expect a quick devaluation of 1080 ti or buy it without having to worry about that?


(ps. If there were proper after market cards available right now i'd get one of them, but it seems it's going to be the very end of march and that's too long without gpu and cba getting a second hand for just two weeks)

you will always have a new GPU launch in near future.

AIB partners already announced their prices for 1080Ti: u$ 749. yep. thats it.

i dont think Nvidia will drop their prices, they are covering all price ranges.


if i had the money on the 1080ti launch, i'd get it.
