2 more days and I'll have one of the best (if not the best) 1080Ti ! The EVGA FTW3 which cost me 950€.

For now I'll stick it into my secondary slot and use this beast solely for mining. After VIVE PRO is released I'll use the 1080Ti 20% for VR gaming and 80% for mining.

As for the new cards, I wouldn't expect them anytime before December. Right now Nvidia has no competition in the gaming sector and they don't seem to mind that much for the 1st place in mining. So why would they release a new card if AMD does not? Just to compete with themselves? I believe their best option would be to lay low until sales slow down.
