Yea, sucks right now to have money to burn. I sort-of need a new graphics card as I am now getting dips into the 35-40FPS level on my games, but I really need to wait and see if there is going to be a price cut on the 1080. If they cut the 1080 to $500 that is the way I will go.

Unless I get 100% fed up with Windows and go full Linux, then I have to go AMD due to the drivers working much better on Linux and AMD's commitment to FOOS. I still want to puck up to of the cards and at least play with them and tinker with overclocking. I have a group of friends who can always use my hand-me-downs and will pay me 1/2 what I shelled out for the cards as well.

I'm giving everything a week. If by the end of next week the cards are in stock, I'll have to post a report on my findings here for you all.
