Is it worth selling by 1080ti now and waiting for the new stuff as I'm getting a really good price

If you can get a good price for it, yes.

American speak is ripe in north west london burbs

Another reason for it to be nuked asap

Another expression I hear a lot more these days which came via America is "Issues"

People seem to think the word is only associated with problems and forget an issue can be positive or negative.

Nobody asked if you got it or not. Could care less tbh

You sound like a lovely chap with an excellent grasp of written English.

So are you getting a 1070ti or a 1080?

It's a valid question tho - how will you pay the bills if you've spent the money of the GPU, and you can't afford both?

We already know you can't afford both because you said if you paid the bills you couldn't then buy the GPU...

I only say it because:

There are a few people I’ll be sending that to next week. Mostly Americans, but not exclusively.

Its quite right though isnt it, the logic of the words put together just sounds wrong so while you can let most things slide he has drawn the line

Yeah, not understanding it either lol.

Sounds like if you buy a GPU now, then you magically get the money back again to pay the bills? :confused:

Simon says he could care less about logic

MooMoo444 · 20 Jun 2018 at 13:41

Don't think I'll be able to afford it, got bills to pay.

So I'm preordering.

I have a 1080 hybrid that plays everything I need. That logic means I'm okay not to upgrade until I need too. Ask me before I was engaged, saving for a house and wedding and that logic would not of computed.

HRL · 20 Jun 2018 at 18:40

I have an RX480 that does not play everything I want at the resolution or frame rates that I want. But I’ll be damned if I’m going to buy a 10 series GPU now.

Wait till you have a mortgage, three children and a child care bill. I'm ok for now too!

I think there is a product, but Nvidia are holding back.

While falling fast, prices of current products are still relatively high due to the mining madness. AMD are not releasing a high end card this year. Manufacturing costs will be cheaper if Nvidia wait till Christmas. Nvidia will want to offload as many next gen cards as possible in 2019 before Intel disrupts the market in 2020.

I'm not expecting to see anything new until the late Autumn at the earliest.

And even then likely a paper launch with FE cards coming in December and an AIB early 2019 most probably. Prices for 10x0 are still above RRP nearly everywhere so there's no real incentive to reduce these prices or release a new card. The 1060 and 1080 are still selling and selling well.

I think we’ll see one earlier. They’ll have stopped manufacturing the old units some time ago, which means finite stock, and bulk orders at discount prices (hence the drop in prices).

As soon as Nvidia ship the last unit they’ll stop making money, which is when they’ll release the new lineup, or at least provide enough information to let the hype build.

They couldn’t care a snot if disti’s have stock left. I’m going with August to September. Primarily based on hope and the urge for shiney shiney.
