With the news that Vega won't be releasing until 1H 2017, and the 1080 Ti nowhere on the horizon, I've decided to buy a stop-gap card to replace my 780 Ti's until I do a rebuild in 2017. The 780 Ti's perform relatively well, but they run out of Vram quickly and I have to depend on SLI. It seems I can get a new R9 Fury for ~$300 USD. I like the idea of an AMD card since my monitor supports Freesync at 40-60Hz. The price is quite nice as well. The downsides of the Fury are the limited Vram and possibly lackluster performance, but I may be able to unlock some cores. Other options are a used 980 Ti, which seems to run $350 to $400 USD, or a 1070 for around $420. I have a $100 eBay gift card so will be purchasing there. I intend to play with mixed settings at 60Hz. I generally play older games, but would like good performance in Fallout 4, Skyrim Enhanced(when it releases), and GTAV.
