Lol that's kind of a dirty play by Nvidia. Releasing the world's fastest card (1080Ti) a month ago and the releasing another new world's fastest after a month.
Kind of fu*cked the hardcore enthusiasts since a lot of them just bought the 1080Tis.

Really hoping for Vega to succeed and compete just to put Nvidia grounded at least.

Well that's if Vega will reach Xp's level though.

Typical nVidia.
Anyways, gonna pull the trigger on some Corsair LPX 3000 Mhz ddr4 ram today and a MSI X370 SLI Plus today.
Gonna mail Noctua my receipt and get the am4 brackets mailed to me.
So ready for R5 1600.
(I would rather buy ASRock mobos for AM4 because they are pushing out bioses so often none of the competition meets it, but they are so expensive or not in stock or they look absolutely hideous.)

You know it's good because they named it after Microsoft's greatest OS.

It's which an i7 7700K doesn't need a heatsink the size of a room when it's must faster than chips from ten years ago.

New card en route' to replace my R9 290... sold it on Craigslist for $160, so just a little over $200 to upgrade to a 1070 isn't too shabby. Based on some testing vs the 290x (which is faster), I should be seeing a 50-100% increase title to title. notbad.jpg.
The 1080 diminishing returns on price\performance just isn't worth it. Also my first ever Nvidia card, I've had a 4850, 4870 and then the R9... never gone green until now. They just have such a big edge on the higher end chips.
I also sold my old i5 4670k motherboard and RAM for $400 to upgrade to a ryzen 1700. Also not ****in bad lol. About $450 out of pocket for brand new mid-high end parts is pretty dang good.
