    PSA: DO NOT BUY A GTX 1070 or 1080 NOW!

    They both got price drops today and the various Aussie retailers have not passed on the savings yet. The reason for the price drop was the introduction of the GTX 1080 ti at the old price of the standard GTX 1080.

    That sounds about right. I caved and finally upgraded to a 1060 (1070 was a bit over my budget) only a couple weeks ago...

    I bought a 970 not too long ago, It performs at Ultra exceptionally on anything I throw at it so happy enough with it. Chances are I will probably skip this generation of graphics cards as I only upgrade when my present card can no longer handle games at Max settings. I project my 970 will do fine for at least a couple of years more, perhaps more.

    My poor 660 couldn't quite handle the newer games anymore, so I figured it was about time to upgrade
