Waiting for Kepler?

[taltamir]

I have yet to see something that justifies the cost of upgrading my GTX260

Wrapping things up, I once had someone comment to me that they can gauge my opinion of a product based solely on the first paragraph of the final page. If I say “there’s no such thing as a bad card, only bad prices” then it’s likely not a favorable review. That statement is once more being validated today, if only in a meta context.

I'll keep my 580's till later in the year when high end kepler is released or AMD 8 series.

Currently 7 series isnt enough of an upgrade or worth the cost to me, and GK104 probably wont be either..

Where is the option that says "Waiting for Kepler so that prices can hopefully fall on 7xxx and I can buy one?"

well.... While I guess kepler will drop prices across the board, I wouldn't say it is a given. And we also don't know who is going to price their hardware more agressively, nvidia or AMD.

But yes a "waiting for lower prices" option would be appropriate since I am in the same boat

Put me in the waiting for a price war camp.

I have a MSI 570 TF III PE/OC edition, looking at getting the keplar $300 or so model depending on performance per price.
