Video cards are not investments. It will have a negative return on "investment" the moment you open the box.

 

You should wait to purchase a video card until the 1180 comes out.

Thank you for making me realize that "investment" not right word. Yup, I would wait for 1180 instead.

Whether you use the word "investment" or "expenditure" doesn't matter to me, the effect is the same: how much money do I have to spend over a given amount of time to enjoy my flight sims. Over all of these years, I have been able to build a new system about every 5 to 7 years for about $1,500 with about 2 gpu upgrades between new systems. Pretty much every gpu I have ever bought has been between $200 and $300 and all of them were ATi/AMD Radeon gpus until now.

I ended up getting a 1080 GTX for $470 before the miners stripped out the supply and drove the prices through the roof. It was the best performance/price ratio for support of 4K monitors and VR, but I would have never bought it for $600.

I wanted to get another 1080 GTX for my son's PC so he could have his own Rift VR, but $1,200 for the same card I got for $470 was insane. Prices seem to be back to the $600 level, but I am not going to pay the original list price for a card that is already old and should be obsolete.

I haven't decided whether I am going to upgrade my PC with a next gen card and give my son the 1080 GTX I already have, build a whole new system with a next gen card, or wait for a good deal on a 1080 GTX (or Ti) as the new cards drive the prices down on the old cards.

Speculation is going crazy "the performance increase will be huge". We can read that in any new video card generations. Marketing has his best.
