Depends on results, money isnt really the issue as i plan to have which ever is top tier - The issue currently is Nvidia will seemingly beat AMD out of the gate and soak up all those eager to make new builds. However in my situation i cant actually do too much till AMD CPUs debut and i know for sure that there will or will not be an x670 chipset. I also plan to buy a watercooled gpu of whichever one i pick. I assume AMD will keep lollygagging around until 10th gen intel and early Nvidia adopters spend all their cash then finally announce something.

I spent $650 on my 980ti back in 2014
I think I did $500 on my 580, which was the only "top of the line" card I ever did. Replaced that with a 970, then that with a 2070. I'll wait a couple more years for the next one.

People still think I am crazy for spending $400 on the 2060 Super 11 months ago but I don't regret it a bit. Fucker is fast enough for what I play and do. If it holds out 3 more years that is $100 a year to play what I play on ultra/all settings on with a 2k monitor and I'm ok with that.
Edit-Damn it's been 11 months now

I am thinking I am going to wait for whatever AMD has in December if these are 8nm Samsung cards and dont top the 2080Ti by 50%. There won't be another Bitcoin run to push these cards to stratospheric heights and it might be good to pair an AMD card with a Zen 4 CPU.
Edit: That's not to say I won't get giddy and break out a credit card like everyone else if there is something that makes it seem like now is the time but with there being some certainty of a Super refresh sooner rather than later, it makes buying now seem less worth it.

If it's actually 2k, I might just stick with my 2070 and tell them to pound sand. If it was like 1-1.2k I probably buy itRumor: GeForce RTX 3090 Pricing to Arrive Around the $2,000 Mark

Damn....those are a little more pricey than I thought they were going to be if true.
Do I just drop money on the best 2080 build instead? All I really play is Runescape, WoW, Destiny. I don't really play any new games. Would feel weird investing in a 2 year old GPU line tho

Unless you plan on playing new games why upgrade at all? Is your current PC struggling to play the games you currently play?
Im waiting for the 3070 prices before I decide. I’m not interested in $700+ ranges. Also keep in mind it’s all been rumor so far.

This is where I'm at. If the 3070 isn't priced reasonably, I"ll probably see if I can get a good deal on a 2080/TI from someone who is paying the insane upgrade price.

I have a 1080 and an i7 6800k. I'd like to go pretty balls deep in to my next PC, especially one that can support RTX (Minecraft, WoW shaders....Battlefield 6?).

That Samsung G9 has a higher res than my current 3860x1200. I can currently pull 100FPS in most games I play on a 1080ti. Will definitely need the extra juice of a 3080 whatever.
