Wonder what will be next after the 10 series. Will you maybe be looking into the new AMDs?
I think from the 980 the 10 series is quite a step up and still maybe worth it. But not from a 980ti just yet imo

Will see how things pan out. I'm not even thinking of upgrading yet. I prefer heavy hitter cards that can give me 3-5 years usable life without the need to OC. MAYBE the AMD stable looks better in 3-5 years, but for now I'm quite comfortable in the green corner.

That's the exact reason why I went from 970 to 1080, and sommer went big with the specific 1080 so that it will last me. But yeah, not overclocking always feels like you make it last so much longer

Yup, the 980 was the big hitter when I upgraded, and I really did not want to wait for the 1080 to launch. I had games to play and the 750s were not doing it for me anymore. But as I said, in 3+ years the landscape might be different. VR is the big question mark for me at this stage. The other big factor is the potential move away from DX to Vulkan.

Things could change for either of the big two depending on where they focus engineering effort.
