Should I get this or wait for 800 series to come out?

There is no such thing that they call "future proof" for graphic card. Trust me, the guy who went from GTX 580 SLI 3 GB version to GTX Titan SLI. If you feel like it, then buy it. If you don't, then don't waste your money.

Screw that the 800 series is supposed to come out no later than Q1 2015 Im dying to buy a new GPU too but blowing $500 when the new stuff is a few months away is just dumb.

There is always something better about to come out in technology. It's a great card and with 6gb can handle multiple monitors with no problem. Suggest you buy now, if you're looking for a performance bump.

Honestly, I would buy this now. If you're looking for multi monitor setup, this is more than enough. With the 800 series you're still waiting for an actual release date while you could be gaming with the 6gb gtx 780 now and it'll last you well enough until a 900 series then comes out. Buy it now.

I am intrigued .. but will definitely have to wait until it comes down in price.. and maybe a more improved model will already be in the works.. just like a computer ... this one may be already out of date.. the new and improved model coming out at a later time... which means ... these first ones will drop in price.... hmmmmm you never know ... they do sound like a lot of fun ...!!

Has to be the same series. You could use a 7950 or something else in the 7900 group.

If you must buy it, I think there is a later or more high end model.....look for it!

i can certainly see the 390/690 units coming real soon ! i am going to wait for the 680 to be launched and then wait for a month or two for the price to stabilize and then take the plunge :-) BTW, amazon states that the 680 will be available for shipping in 2 -4 weeks .... not sure if that is a typo too...

Get the SC edition and you'll find yourself in between the 670 and 680. Or you could wait for that fabled 760 ti that a lot of pc networks are waiting for.

I answered this yesterday, but long story short, for what you are doing, I would go with the 80mm unit. You will be happy with it.

Samsung has the UN65c8000 scheduled to be released in July, usually available online a few weeks before they hit the stores.I think the 55 might be to small for 3D in a larger room, waiting for it too

I've seen it as low as $850. I'd wait to get it around $800 or so sometime after New Year's.

Double the native refresh rate over the UHD model. Very limited 4k content on the market and ISP don't push enough bandwidth. I owned the 9000 and I currently have this exact model. Trust me, the 8000 is better, no matter what Samsung says.

I went ahead and put in my pre-order for the 554 a few days ago. Seems like a good bet that they'll start to flow along the system in the next few days. I may even spring for some 3D specs, just to try it out.

The choice will be completely be up to you. As you are probably aware, the extra $30 is essentially netting you better padding materials, three interlocking cables, and the ability to detach cables. If you don't need that extra feature, either the original ATHM50 (coiled cable) or the ATHM50s (straight cable) will suit you better with respect to lower costs. Either choices are good investments. In due time, even the remastered series will drop prices (though it could be a few years before that happens).

buying technology is always a question of what you need or want, yes you can wait and see,but then there will be sth. faster, better everybody loves and you will ask yourself the same question again and again - should I wait...untill? research, decide upon your real needs, buy and don't check new stuff untill you feel its time for an upgrade. It helped me stay focused on having fun with the stuff I own rather than dreaming of sth. else. cheers

thanks Frances...i am just thinking that with the new I series Intels coming up..it should happen soon..have deferred my decision to buy one for now..

Well, I'm still interested in buying but for no more than $435. I can live with what I got so far. For the same current price I will be able to buy a new model, whenever it comes out. Just not worth paying full retail for a not the latest model.

I would wait personally. The price drop will be there shortly. It will also allow you to read some reviews about core clocks and overclocks.

Thanks to both of you. I have about decided on the 50G10, but it will be about a month or six weeks before I move on it so it will be interesting to see what happens to the price. I just hope we don't get a rave review from CU like the Sammy A650 did, or the price will probably increase.Thanks again. lYou both helped make up my mind.
