@fatslob: And why is that?

I got all the parts and I'll be doing a major overhaul on my PC tonight ... 

I won't have a graphics card until next year so for now I'm lower than the so called "console peasant" despite spending a lot more and being "PC Master Race" myself ... (Integrated all the way and I hope PCSX2 will hold me until next year.) 

On a side note I'm very interested in getting my hands on the Acer XR341CK or something similar but It doesn't look like my wallet will handle it ... (Sooner or later I'll be joining the curved 21:9 with adaptive-sync display master race too.)

I also won't expecting a whole lot of improvements when it comes to perf/$ on GPUs since price per transistor will be higher on the newer nodes compared to 28nm ...

Oh! New stuff is always exciting.

And that monitor is quite a beast. I also love the 34" 1440p monitors (I've looked at LG and Dell's offerings), but they are too big for me. But unless I'm mistaken A-Sync doesn't work with current Nvidia cards, is that the reason you're waiting to get a new card?.

About the price of the next cards, I wouldn't be so negative. The jump to 28nm with the 7970 and 680 was surprisingly affordable compared to the 6970/580. Also, I wouldn't rule out the possibility of the 480X / 1070 being able to offer the performance of today's high end cards at $400.

 

@Chazore: Good! Now we need to know what the others think.
