Question is on the title. I already have a 980ti EVGA FTW in my pc and love the card. I play 3440x1400 and want to give me rig some more balls to help out with future games. I can get a used 980ti for like 500$ in Canada or 650$ new. Would it be better to buy a second or sell mine when the 1080ti comes out and get that.
Best option is that my 980ti dies after the new ti comes out, cause my in house warranty from where I bought it will replace it with a 1080ti of it dies within 2 years and the latest card is out
Hmmm... A video card that is real, proven and available at a discount vs. a video card that isn't even a rumor yet, un-available and will be price gouged when and if it ever comes out.
I just recently picked up my second 980Ti for under $400 and couldn't be happier. I moved from a 34" 3440x1440 monitor (VA panel) to a 4K monitor and having the second 980Ti has been awesome.
I got it off of eBay when everyone and their brother went nuts thinking that they'll sell their 980Tis to get a 1080. Probably cursing at themselves because actually getting a 1080 is like winning the lottery. :-P
Memory Express. Pretty much if it dies or starts having issues that can't be fixed and aslong as its not physical damage they will give you a replacement in store. But if they don't have the card anymore but the newer version is out they will give you that.
No idea how they can tell. They just said if you try and kill your card by overclocking it to much they can tell. But ya I'm not sure how it isn't abused more. Maybe they just will always have an excuse as to why they can't honour the extra warranty you paid for or something. That being said a guy I know just put his gpu into someone else's pc and it scrambled the gpu and motherboard when they first booted. Took the parts in cause they had the extra warranty they bought and they replaced it.
I'm leaning towards the sli now too. So many clowns trying to throw away thier 980tis for super cheap so they can have what ever the new number card of the month is.
