We haven't seen Pascal reviews, we haven't seen Polaris reviews, and AFAIK AMD has yet to go on record with Vega being a 2016 release, yet you reckon 1080 is a bad buy. You built so much credibility on this forum by patiently explaining how GPUs work, how (DX12) features are implemented and how they affect performance, and now choose to spend it lavishly on unsubstantiated claims.
I was disgusted by the way media outlets welcomed the 1080 and embraced the fallacy of comparing it to Titan X when aftermarket 980Ti models offered more performance for (relatively) less dough, I literally felt the need to cover my face in shame when "hardware enthusiasts" considered the jump in performance much better than what Intel is offering, but I wouldn't even dream of talking bad about this product until it's properly compared at least with Maxwell.
Think about it again: you're advising people not to buy a product that has yet to be launched (and reviewed) in favor of a product that will launch even later (with no current specs available).
