Hi Tom Logan.

I am about to buy a new graphic card. I'm considering GTX 980 Ti 6GB.
But I am wondering if there are new releases soon, that might be worth
waiting for?

I'm primary using the card for 4K Gaming.

You bought a 5960x for 4k gaming? :o

One 980ti is not enough for 4k unless you are happy to play in the 30-40 FPS range with drops low enough to cause stutter. What you really need for 4k is two 980tis or two Fury X.

Personally (and coming from some one who is running 4k and has been for over a year) I would just get a 1440p monitor now (cheap one) and wait until Polaris and Pascal are out and we actually have enough power to make 4k a real thing because right now the requirements are stupid and it means lots of sacrifice that over time you will regret making.
 
^^^Alien is right, unless youre willing to turn your game settings down NO single card can do 4K

You should have brought a 6700K and two GPU's tbh

Its nice to have the post addressed to me but as you can see this is a community forums dude not just a TTL Q&A x
 
Thanks for your anser. I have had my 5960x for right after it came out.
But it was not realy an anser to my quistion... Is there coming a new grafikcard "soon" that is
worth waiting for?
If not, then i am going to get 2 X GTX 980Ti 6Gb...

Right now you need a minimum of two 980ti if you want to max out games. But be warned, this means very low minimums of around 30 FPS and sometimes lower. You will dip into the 20s, even on 980ti SLI @ 4k with ultra settings.

Will Pascal offer a single card that can power 4k? will AMD? nobody knows dude, not even Tom. What they basically need to do that properly and realistically is 2-3x the power of their existing GPUs. That's not an unrealistic thing to expect but right now absolutely nobody knows as high end Polaris and Pascal either don't yet exist or remain the secret of AMD and Nvidia respectively.

I don't know if you have a 4k monitor already but my advice remains the same. Buy a cheap 1440p monitor and wait for Pascal and Polaris.

I'm already in up to my neck but I originally bought two Titan Black cards for £1400 and within 11 months Nvidia had released the 980ti which was as fast as both Titan Black cards for less than I paid for 1.

4k is not quite there yet. It's definitely not something you should do right now. However, if you already bought the monitor and it's too late then yes, two 980ti will suffice but be warned within six months they could be replaced with something twice as powerful, leaving you with a heat farm that has cost you £1000. Which logically is just money wasted, like when I bought £1400 worth of Titan Black.

All on you dude :)

No one can tell the future unfortunately. Even if anyone within the right circles had the information you are after they will be under one of no doubt many NDA's. Yes there are new cards coming from AMD (Polaris) and nvidia (Pascal), until they are released (or certainly a lot closer to release) we will not know how they perform at any resolution.

In short, sorry dude, but you will have to play the waiting game like the rest of us.
 
Who knows, if you want runuors then they seem to be ~q2 for nVidia and ~q3 for AMD. Consumer avaliability more like q3 and q4 respectively.
