Next GC ?

[Wingsgb]

Hi all,

I built my gaming PC just over 2years ago and the last year I have been waiting for the new next gen graphics cards to be released before I upgrade.*

I haven't really kept upto date but am I right in saying Nvidia haven't released there's yet, AMD have on the other hand with the R9 series? Or are AMD going to bring more cards out soon?*

Thanks

Thanks for the reply, if AMD don't have any cards coming out this year will the R9 series they recently released be able to contend with Nvidia when there's are released.

My PC
I7 2600k
1x HD ATI 6970 OC lightening 2gb
16gb G-Skill ram
Asrock z68 extreame4 gen

At the moment my card can play a lot of games just fine, it dose struggle with the new watchdogs but that's the game rather than the card. I'm not in any hurry but I do want one of the best cards to be able to run all these nice looking games that are coming out, hence why iv been waiting. Star citizen, the witcher 3 and division.

Budget can be 1k

Iv only ever had one problem with this PC and that was afew months ago when I started to get a blue screen. I had a faulty memory stick. G-skill were really good and sent me a new one out as they have life time warranty.

PSU I have a XFX Pro 850w black edition

Regarding my storage I have a 10000rpm HDD for my games and a SSD for my OS and program's like PS ect.

I don't have any aftermarket cooling so I will look into that especially if I decide to overclock my CPU. Is there any good guides to do this I could read.

Ok thanks for the input, back to the GPU now though.

Should I upgrade now or wait longer. What card should I go for?
Should I go for some sort of SLI/ Crossfire?

Should I get a R9 295 x2 with the idea to get a second.

Appreciate the help
