Video/Graphics Card upgrade

[brick4956]

Debating on Wether to purchase a new graphids card for the rig I buiit years ago have been looking at the Nvidia 1070 & 1080 edition cards. Anyone think I should wait till more custom cards are released later on. Rig has a 1500 watt power supply so has more than enough power for me to run the card in dual sli if I go with that type of setup.

If you don't know what the improvements on the new cards will be, why wait?

No need to wait, or even bother with SLI for now. The bandwidth on a single card dwarfs everything out there right now and they're cheaper than the Titans. Besides, since everything is carried on the backs of more limited platforms, which can't update hardware, a 1080 should be more than enough for a while.

I just don't really like the current reference card designs hoping evga will come out with a card that has a liquid cooling block

1080 power draw is super low, no need for liquid cooling.

Well his power supply is enough for 3 PCs, my guess is he's trying to hack the gibson.

My current setup is liquid cooled also have 32 gigs of ram for memory, just need to upgrade video card so I can get my rig to run 4k relatively smooth

I honestly don't know anything about this, more interested in who you are going on a date with during this bye week
