What model is best for gtx 980?

subeast · Jun 14, 2015

I'm looking to buy a 980, as it seems to be the best option at my 400$ price limit. (If you disagree I'd love to hear your input) I don't know much about buying gpus and I'm quite confused on how to chose a model. There are several models that show up while I look around. What is the best model? Is it worth paying extra for a better model?
Also, how long do you think until my 980 will have to be replaced?

Thanks for any answers, in advance. I appreciate it greatly.

i recommend EVGA GTX 980 Superclocked ACX 2.0

but a gtx 980 starts at 500. if your budget is 400 you would want to look at a gtx 970.

both are excellent cards and should keep you going for a couple years. no one can tell you exactly how long your card will keep up with new technology. they can only speculate.

evga has a great reputation and makes good quality parts. their gpus come with a 3 year warranty and an optional 5 year for $30 and 10 year for $60.
if at any time in 90 days a new model of your gpu comes out you can return it to evga for the cost of shipping and the price difference of the better card.

EVGA dosent bring anything special to the table for maxwell cards. They are a great company with great service, however its not spectacular this time around.
I recommend either the Gigabyte G1, or MSI gaming models. At 400 a 970 would likely be better.

Gam3r01 :

I found an Evga model for $440 new. Should I take this deal or should I invest in a better model like MSI or gigabyte? Or is the difference not worth it?

There seem to be 2 evga models, the one you sent and also another silver one. Which one is better?

there are several. i recommended the Superclocked ACX 2.0 version. you are looking at a different version. the Superclocked ACX 2.0 version is better.
