I'm gonna wait it out for Vega and GP102, I can't justify spending so much on a gpu when my Fury happily runs everything I throw at it.
The 4gb's of ram bothers me but the truth is that has only been a limitation a couple of times and I only needed to drop a setting down to solve it.
If I wait it out for Big Pascal or Vega the worst case scenario is I'll get a 1070 or 1080 then for a lot less than it is today.

Same here, if my fury had more than 4gb ram I would be happy enough to plod on with it
The 1070 is a decent upgrade for those with a 70 series card and below who don't want to venture into the £££ territory of the XX80 Ti.
The 1080 on the other hand, after pascal I don't know why anyone would be on that level of GPU to be honest. For me to go up a level from the 70 series it'd have to be either the AMD equivalent of the xx80, or straight to the xx80 Ti

Just go for Titans.
From big card to big card, you'll get the most performance for the longest time possible and they usually hold reasonable value even when the new cards come so after the initial hit the upgrade cost isn't OTT.
Messing around constantly between mediocre gains is just a waste of money, the 1080 is an upgrade for people on 780/780ti, not us 980ti folk.

I'm trying to hold out for the big cards but I don't think my 290x will last that long - I almost cooked it playing the division last night. Its a reference pcb with an AIO cooler modded to it. It has done well but I had no intentions of keeping it in service this long. Its managed fine @4k if I don't mind turning the bling down...
Best case for me I'm thinking atm, if the 290x lives until the AMD 480 comes out I trifire them until the big cards are released then swap to a Ti/Tx/Vega - which ever does best single card perf @4k in the games I play and put the 480s into my wife and kids PCs to replace their 670 and 7950s. Everyone gets an upgrade \o/.

Everytime I see this I weep over my 980ti
LOL. Yeah, but the shiny..
1080 seems to be a joke of a card at the price point. All that wait with two node jumps and we get drip drip. With that performance it should have been priced at £400-£450.
Yeah, apart from passey89, its very quiet from the 1080 FE buyers, I was expecting loads of posts showing off the impressive new shiny results.
Also weeps over sold 980ti
Iv'e read a few threads were people have said they snagged one on the day.
Buy no more benchies have surfaced...Very odd if you ask me
Wonder why?
They still too expensive for a second hand card. Given the choice I would just get a brand new 1070 myself.

Yeah, OCUK didnt make it very clear that the free next day saturday delivery you still had to select Saturday as the delivery method, so most people just chose next day and will be getting it Tuesday
Which may drive the price down even more, there could be some really good eol clearance deals

You do realise you are supposed to compare the graphics score (not the overall score) don't you. If you use the overall score you turn it into a CPU bench.
The only people with higher graphics scores are using custom bios, waterblocks and extra volts to get very big overclocks on their TitanXs.
You really need to stop now as you have made yourself look very silly with the post I have just quoted. Remember the 1080 was a Founders Edition in a case on air with a stock bios.
Defend it all you like. I'm allowed an opinion. The GFX score has been noted. Doesn't change the fact that a 980ti is very close in the benchmark with the same cpu.
