Now or Later

Hi,
I have built a gaming pc this summer in eager of GTA V but it turns out that it is being released next year not this year. I currently have a radeon 6770, enough to play tf2 but im eager to upgrade this Christmas, I have thought of the GTX 680 or the Radeon 7970 but the game is going to be released next year and I can wait until next spring or fall, depending when GTA V comes out. But by then the Radeon 8000 series or the GTX 700 series would have come out or not so should i get a card at Christmas or wait?

Yeah, I would wait. I mean, you're so far into this series of cards that the next will be here in 3-5 months. And seeing as how they're going to be a HUGE power bump...

I would wait. As DarkSable said the next gen is going to be a big performance increase

Wait. Radeon HD 8000 series is expected to be released in Q1 2013. nVidia's GTX 700 series probably won't be released until Q3 or Q4 of 2013.
