Looking for Opinions / Suggestions!

I wasn’t planning to upgrade my GPU (EVGA GTX 980 SC) until I absolutely needed to, but my brother in law is offering to buy it when I decide to upgrade.

Should I invest in a 1080 or 1080 Ti now? If so, which manufacturer is best? Or should I hold off until a new set of GPU’s are out? I’m not sure when that will be, haven’t been keeping up lately but I just don’t want to pay top dollar now and have a new card come out in a few months.

Anything helps, thanks!

Kind of hard for anyone to say which is best since we dont go out and buy a dozen 1080ti's to compare... That being said ASUS 1080TI Strix is the best!

 

[Daniel Haefner]

EVGA always!

I'd really like to say wait for Navi, but I don't know if AMD is going to surpass nVidia just yet. Either get a 1080 Ti, or wait and get a next-gen nVidia card if you can wait.

Gigabyte hands down, 1080 is decent price now soo

Buy an ASUS or NVIDIA 1080tTi card!!! Compared to 1080, 1080Ti is much better in 4K resolution performance

Definitely got my attention

So is that the cooling tower required for an i9 7980xe?

I'd look at benchmarks for the games you play and/or the productivity software you use (i.e if you're doing video production).

And I was figuring out what that package was? A giant pc?

I upgrade every 2 new gens. I had a 780 and upgraded to a 1080ti at launch
