I'd would like to switch from 4 to 6 core, and also throw out my 260.
Unfurnately I cant justify to buy card since I don't know which card is needed for SoW.

For instance:

In case of a release 1stQ 2011 I will just wait.

Incase of 2ndQ 2011, I could just buy a 470 now, enjoy it for 6months, and get a new one when the game is out.

But I dont know the release date!

Sure I could just buy the 470, but then oleg surprises us with a February release and I have to buy a new card again.

Even if you sell an almost unused card you'll lose at least 30% which is in the 3digit range.

Or I could buy a 580 today, which offers performance I dont need(now) for a price I dont have to pay, because I don't need it before July - again 3digit loss.


So, you see several parts are affected, also their prices detoriate pretty fast. If you add it up, we're talking about a potential $300+ we lose just because we bought them too early. Even worse if they cant do the job...

We cant plan and therefore are screwed either way - it's just not cool.
