Alright so I am in a very tough place right now with regards to my GPU choice for my PC build. I plan to game in 1440p eventually, but am getting a 1080p monitor from a friend immediately. Now, I have a few choices.
1) Wait until Vega comes out in August, which I could do, but is risky. It could be too pricey for the performance, and there could be software issues. But it could pay off at the same time. I could be getting gtx 1080 performance or better for a cheaper price. Like I said though, it's a gamble.
2) Buy a gtx 1080 (or 1070). I definitely am leaning towards a 1080 as of right now, but I want to make sure that a 1080 will last me a good few years of 1440p gaming at 60+ Hz. I definitely could afford a 1080, so price isn't a big issue.I just don't want to buy it, then end up lacking in the fps department a year down the road, since I know the card is over a year old now.
3) Buy a cheapie, something like an Rx 580 or gtx 1050 to hold me over until Nvidia comes out with volta. This is an interesting option, and also a gamble much like waiting for Vega. I know Volta will likely be very good, but it will be quite a long time to wait for a new card. It would suck as well to have to put some extra cash down at first, but I would be getting an absolute top of the line GPU.
Let me know what you all think, I welcome all suggestions!
Cheers
