Yeah, same here in Ireland. High VAT rates.I'm planning on getting a 2560 x 1440p Gsync monitor before the year ends, and keep it a single card configuration. I like max settings but when possible and when they make an actual difference. I will never buy a titan card (I fail to see their point of existence for me personally), so I can understand if I have to make do with somewhat lesser settings here and there in the future, and that is okay.
I find most cards overpriced at launch, it's the early adopter premium, I think. So I will wait for prices to settle somewhat before buying Pascal. Plus, we get 21% tax here *ouch* and sadly there aren't real proper offers on as compared to eg overclockers. My 970 is only 2.5 months old so I can wait for them prices to come down a bit.
For 2560x1440p, the x80 or x70 should be enough, based on what we've seen from the past. Unless games suddenly take another lunge forward graphically, the x70 should be about a 980ti performance, which is more than enough currently for 1440p, while the x80 will be more like a heavily overclocked 980ti or SLI 970. That's my guesstimate. As mentioned, though, it's all speculation.
