Becasue as of now to play the latest games at max graphics while still at 60+ FPS my 970 is not gonna cut it anymore.

So I am asking this question by asking long time GTX users who upgrades regularly how long does it usually take for Nvdia to reduce the prices on their graphics cards?

I assume they do it the moment they release a new one?

And if so how much is reduced like say the 1070 right now is 400+ dollars, once they release a 1100 or something they cut the price of the older model in half?

the release of the successor model does indeed translate in most cases into a price cut - cleaning inventories -, but nowhere near a 50% cut.

What resolution are you playing at? 1920x1080 you should mostly still be fine I'd imagine? Depending on the rest of your rig of course.

Yes I have a 1080p monitor and I run a GTX 970 on my PC.

And let's just say Witcher 3 at ultra still has Framerate dips.

Also the PC is at risk overheat shutdown playing the game because I clocked the game at 69 celsius (is that too hot?)

Interesting thread. I've been meaning to upgrade my own graphics cards but I'm clueless as to what to buy. Are those you mentioned good for someone who doesn't really care for graphics but likes to be able to run the newest games without problems? Any other reccomendations?

Do these sales usually happen during the summer and winter seasons?

Keep in mind that sudden drops in framerate might not be because the videocard can't handle it, there might be a bottleneck (slow cpu/memory) or just bad optimization of the code/datastream.

To be honest I think a gtx 970 should be adequate and you might try downtweaking the graphicssettings you won't notice while playing anyway. Just putting everything at ultra is ridiculous, these are honchosettings to appease people with 3x Geforce Titan cards in SLI configuration.

69 degrees on your CPU, or your GPU? If it is your GPU then no, it is not too hot, in fact you should start worrying only if it gets past 85 degrees, even if the maximum temperature that is specified by Nvidia is 98 degrees, though I would advise not to get to that point, however if it is your CPU then yes, that is too hot. You can check this site what is the maximum temperature your CPU can reach until the BIOS shut down.

I wish that the price went down too: it's almost a year that I'm using the integrated GPU + an old 21' display!

I'm glad that I skipped the previous gen, because it wasn't that great (comsumption, temps, 970 "fraud") and it still costed 500-700€.
Luckly old games don't need high resolutions and power, but it's time for newer games too ; )

When it comes to marketing, Northern America and Europe are usually treated as different regions. but I'd keep an eye open in late November and December ...

69 C is a perfectly fine temperature. Infact I would call that quite normal unless you have some super fancy cooling system. Logically your CPU should be fine upto 100 C. But a GPU will be a little less. Obviously you don't want to get that high. But these things heat up and CPU or GPU, that temp is a good temp for load.

I just wish it fell off the back of a truck.

The current gen is a very unusual one due to two competing manufacturing processes, an upcoming new memory standard, lower quantities of cards then potential buyers and a generally incomplete graphics card lineup. This blurs the prophecies you could do. Anyways, prices of the new Geforces will probably be stable for the next two or three months. After that, with AMD Vega foreshadowing, a settled TSMC-manufacturing process and Volta in Nvidias own pipeline prices should start to drop.
Posted July 31, 2016
Right now the cards are priced higher than the MSRP (manufacturer suggested retail price) because the manufacturer can't keep the stocks up with the current demand.
It's basic offer vs demand: the prices will go down when demand is lower or when the competition gets a better product/price on the market.
Nothing of this kind happened so far, so atm is the worst time to be buying these type of overpriced cards

I can only think of 2 drops. One encroaching currently till every seller has enough stocked from every manufacturer (currently they are overpriced) and a big one when next gen cards gets released (see current drop of last gen cards).

In between not much outside the odd sale or promotion.
