Will I regret this?
I regret my GTX 780 purchase for the same price.

spending over 300 on a gpu

Don't do that

if you spend more than 300 dollars on a graphics card, it will be outperformed by something half the price in a year.

This

Possibly in the future (because deals. You saw what happened to the 1080 and Titan X prices when 1080Ti came out). But right now thats a steal. Even for MSI gaymur shit. If it was gigabyte i would be all over it.

This, there's no reason to buy an expensive gpu unless you have money to waste. I still use a 750ti and it still werks fine with most games

Buy a high end enthusiast dildo instead.

If you're not stretching your budget, then by all means go for it. Also have to ask yourself what games you play, what resolution, and what your expectations are. Standard 1080p at 60fps or even 144fps? A 1070 for $340-ish and turn down the AA and you'll be fine.

If you don't mind AMD, get an 8gb rx480 for sub $300. I spent $730 on my 980TI classified model when it first released. While it still performs very very well even at 1440p, just look at the 8gb 1070 now. Or the $500 1080. More performance for hundreds less. While I won't say I regret my purchase, I can see the sense of what the other anons are saying about spending above $300. All comes down to your budget OP.

do you not care about price/perf?

1080 is a terrible card. you're better off getting a 1070 and overclocking it or a 1080ti.

Just get a 1060.

>tfw still using a GTX 680

For the most part it's fine for 1080p gaming, but it's starting to show its age. I can't run Total Warhammer at very good settings and Star Citizen is a real bitch (though it's not exactly very well optimized yet, obviously).

This

I recently upgraded from a 670 to a RX 480, couldn't run doom worth a shit on the 670 and wanted a jump up. Loved the card though, it lasted me so long.

Get a rx480. There was one for $165

just get the cheapest 1070
some zotac model for $349 i believe

nvm OP it sold out
newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500409

That looks extremely loud.

Damn I paid nearly the same price for G1 1070 back when they were only out for a month. I feel stupid now.

Sweet spot for price/performance is 1060 / rx480

That's a side grade coming from a 780 though.

don't worry nvidia will gimp it again :^)

If there is a wealthy person that wants to get a 1080Ti, i would love to buy their used 1080 for $400. building my first gaming pc, and would love to have something that will easily pump out 60fps 1080p for years. ....console gaming has made that the dream.....

I want a primal hardware splorch and a raspberry pi so I can create a website where people click a button and it lays an egg inside of me

The sweet spot for the GTX 1080 is 1440p you noob.

Nah its nivida it just works

then you don't need to upgrade

Personally I went for 1440p ultrawide.

Stable 60-70 fps in Witcher 3.

Looks sweet.

Wait 6 months. By that time Vega teething issues have been resolved and NVIDIA cards prices chopped.

Personally I don't understand why people have to rush to buy the product on day 1 or even 1st month. Just end up overpaying for a card with unpolished drivers and bugs, and might end up waiting for weeks if the stock is sold out anyway...

Kepler was for some reason badly fucked but I don't think Nvidia actually did it on purpose, probably something on the chip level of the GPU made it age like cheese. You can easily look at current Maxwell benchmarks, almost 9 months since the release of Pascal, and tell that they haven't gimped them yet. 980 is still stronger than 1060. 1070 is on pair with 980 Ti and that's on stock clocks when 980 Ti gets 10% ahead of 1070 when you oc both.

So yea this "Nvidia gimps previous architectures to sell new cards" doesn't add up anymore.

I think it has more to do with Nvidia switching to a new rendering style.

So I thought the 1080 was dropped to $500.

Why can I not find a 1080 for $500? Why are 1070's still $450?

Was it all a lie?

Did you actually look?

>Will I regret this?
Yes, once Vega and Volta come out.

Just get a Fury X for now to tide you over if you feel you need an upgrade (I still have a 7970 that came out like 3 years earlier than a 780, and I don't). You can get one for $235 and it's like 80-95% the performance of a 1070.

You probably feel regrets from buying NVidia who updates their drivers to make older cards suddenly run shitty to get you to upgrade while AMD cards just get better with time.

>Buying a soon-to-be gimped card
Of course not! Go ahead and hit that "add to cart" button! :^)

Still have my glorious 560ti
