Need a crystal ball for this one... lots of unknown variables. Will the 11 series have significantly better mining performance? Will everybody be buying them? Will that, in turn, cause difficulty to rise once again, making mining less profitable for everyone else? Will 10 series cards have shit resell value? When exactly is the 11 series going to be out, anyway?

Personally I think it's a crap shoot right now. A 1070 barely makes a dollar at this point, and an 1170 probably isn't going to do that much better. Even if you can sell your cards now for half the cost of the new ones, you're still going to have some unknown amount of downtime waiting on the 11 series, and when you do get them, you're gonna be mining for a while just to make up the difference.
