The jump from 28nm -> 14/16nm + FinFETs, is so big, you ll likely see graphics cards that are twice the power of the current ones once they release.

Its because we stayed at 28nm, skipped 20nm (which would be a normal gen jump), and went for 14/16nm instead.
So its double the proccessing node jump.

Then theres the 3D transistors that Intel call them, the FinFETs....


If you buy a top of the line card now, I wouldnt be surprised if a few months,
its not even worth half the price you payed for it.

That makes it a bad time to upgrade.
 You never upgrade right at the end of a cycle.


You dont do it at a double jump in processing node technology, where we re finally get FinFETs.

 

Unless your Okay with paying 300$ for a GPU, and a few months later its only worth 100$.

Then ofc go right ahead.
