Time will tell.

AMD could do a launch event in October and launch the cards in late October or November, similar how Nvidia unveiled the 1080 in early May but launched it at the end of that month.

Are you going to upgrade the ole' Radeon 5850 at all? That came out in late 2009.  :P
Vega might be worthy of the jump. ;)

I'm trying to upgrade from my trusty 5850, but with what's on the market is right now (and because of some unexpected expenses, like a big dentist bill) I may hold a bit longer.

Honestly, I'm disappointed with AMD because, despite what they may say, they have undelivered. Yes, yes, I know that they have only launched the x80 and lower parts, but they should at least be able to beat the 390/390X cards. What's the point of lanching a new product if offers nothing new? They should have made the full Polaris 10 a 40CU chip. At least it's cheap... when there's stock.

And I'm angry with Nvidia, because they have delivered, performance wise, but they have gone totally nuts with their prices. The 1070 for $449 (because good luck finding one for $379), that translates to 500 € is a f*cking joke, and the price of the 1080 is even worse. At least the 1060 is ok, with some models retailing for the same as the 480.

So right now I'm between getting a 480 and feel like I'm getting less performance than I should, get a 1060 and feel stupid for having to get that card despite my budget being bigger than that or simply wait until whatever comes next.

I'm still deciding.
