yep, the 1080 is gonna be $500. I also heard the 1070 coming down to $350

i don't understand why people buy graphics cards when they first come out.
my 970 ftw+ is doing it's thing.

i'll probably keep it for another year or two before i replace it.

wait a year and the price will go waaaaaaaayyyyy down.

they don't always drop though. Nvidia probably doing it now to compete with whatever AMD has coming out

either way that's the way roll.
a graphics card that is one gen old can easily run current gen games.

i'm running my shyt at 1080p.
for the time being i'm good with that.
at some point i will fall back behind the leading pack to the point that i need to upgrade.

that's when i will do it.

Right now NVIDIA (670 :flabbynsick:) but i'll be getting a new card probably in May. Not sure if I'll stick with Nvidia or AMD but i'm partial to Nvidia.

Ok. Well with new AMD cards looking promising I would wait until they are released along with the benchmarks. NVIDIA should be dropping the prices of their cards.
