I have no desireor reason to upgrade until 16nm. My 780 runs everything great now and I have such a large backlog of games to play through still. It's going to be a solid year before I get through most of those, and at that point I think 16nm won't be far off.

I like to buy hardware, but i'll wait until I have a reason to upgrade. I wanted the ROG swift but I feel so stupid spending $800 on that thing, plus two GPUs to drive it. I don't know, I just feel like an idiot spending the money just to play BF4 at a higher res. I'll wait.

I hear ya. Im having a hard time not pulling the trigger on the swift as well, but it seems like with 4k IPS getting cheaper soon hopefully and waiting till Gsync/Freesync comes to market and sorts things out, it just makes sense to hold off.

If it were 400-500 I'd probably have it, but the one thing i dont like about it, is that it only has 1 DP for inputs. I realize it needs DP for gsync, but how about 2 or 3 DP inputs? $800 is just too much for a TN + lack of inputs.
