I would never spend 600 bucks on a new GPU because I know it would be shit. To get a good one you need to spend at least 700. That said, I did survive quite a long time with my 680 until I got the 980ti. I'm not 100% sold on the Titan yet but it's not like I got a choice. I want to build a new PC early next year and I sure as hell won't keep my 980ti or take a shitty 1080.

By next year the prices could be lower than now. And we don't know if there will be a $1,000 1080Ti.

On a side note: "I would never spend 600 bucks on a new GPU because I know it would be shit" Have we really got to that point?

We've been at that point since you couldn't get a good 680 for under 600^^

I mean you have seen the initial reaction for the price of the 1080. People (including me) were actually praising the low price despite probably being the most expensive x80 at launch ever. So either Nvidia is doing marketing extremely well or we're just at this point. We're at a point where I was genuinely happy and surprised that a 6700k costs less than 400, a fucking CPU.

Maybe it's this feeling of euphoria technology enthusiasts get when they are presented with more and more power over the years. We live in a time where actual 4k gaming is within reach on a single GPU. I love to be excited for new technology and this excitement is basically ripping my bank account wide open for ridiculous spending.
